Social Improvement.


If there is any one thing more than an
other which is an indeS to the excellent
social status OF the people Of the Pacific
North West, ii Is the organization OF
free reading rooms, library associations,
literary societies, debating societies, and
kindred organizations. 1t would be
difficult to find town in either Oregon
or Washington Territory without one or
more of these associations.
Another excellent feature is the organ
ization of societies for rural improve
ment. One or two formed with this OBJ
ieet have done work that speaks SO
eonvinoingly for them, that the move
Inent is likely to spread all over this re-
gion.
AS u social and educational matter this
awakening desire to make the homes Of
the people attractive, is of great import
ance; especially soin this country, wher,
the greatest inducements are offered fol
lawns, nnrks, fine trees, and attractiy.
drives. The Northern Pacific Company
has planned TO help this ON by system
of turfed emhaukments, shade trees
flowers and shrubs and pretty little sta
| tians. Ii is all an Investment in beagt,
that will pay -Pacitic Coast.
