Dear elrs-In the Oreg0Nian 10
rch olh saw peice headed ''rhe
Canadian pacilc' In which your
name occura
j have hoon farming In the Will
annette valley about o years without
any pay and I am getting tired oft.
en- getting ready to leave the state
and I don't know where for the best.
Some say Cal. and some say east Of
The mountains as there will be plenty
Of work 10 do the coming summer,
60 much railroad building, etc.
What / wiah 20 know Is this, can
get plenty Of work TO do with a
tolmf and what are the wages per
dnyq Whnt for a valley Is that Col
Vile valleyi ls Il rich and productive
any land to take upf Very cold In
winter or notf Much snow Of win
/ am getting tired Of this mud
for it 3 rain and mud for six
months 10 a year, 90 that Il Is hard
N"NNA"N ~ E"NA I'NaNtNt ~
here EIy that your country will be
over run In the spring with people
hunting work and that wages will
be a mere nothing. Have you q very
windy couniyf Now any iniorma-
iiou from you win be gladly received
aud ] win be very thankful Ad-
dress a. af the heading.
How H. your country for delicute
women. healthy or unhealthy Is II
very windy in summer and cold In
vInter.l
In the hrsi place Il strikes Us that
any maE who can work Eve years
without pay can get along almost
anywhere, and that there is very
little choice left HIM as regards To-
cation. East Of the mountaias he Is
bound to GET work occasionally, and
the chances are good for his being
paid on somewhat more frequently
than once in Eve years. We could
not promise the writer plenty Of
work here. He would have to take
the labor as the demand existed.
Wages are all the way from little
BIT Up to a good deal The indica-
tions now arc that there win BE- plen-
~ to do this summer. The enquiry
regarding the Colville valley does
not SIZE up we'll Weare not able to
say what Il Is icr a valley, but are
bed 10 believe from reports that II is
q valley all the same. Il Is also rich
and productive and there remains
some lands to be taken up. II viii
be found pretty chilly in winter, but
not severe A right smart chance Of
snow generally covers that part Of
the country during the winter. We
fnd no fault with the soarcher after
information IN his desire to get out
Of hlapresont location II It Is As bad
a. he represents. He would find this
section an Improvement. There are
no delicate women here. There may
have been when some Of them start
cd for inis part Of the world, but
there arc none here now. They can't
remain delicate any length Of tine.
II is contrary to the climate. So far
there has been no demand for frngile
females. there being no particular
use for them. We would not advise
the writer 70 bear The market not
for the present anyhow. Our sum-
mers are not noted for boisterousness.
Il Is In the spring time when the
zephyrs circulate here. Then Is the
time that the Spokanite gets up on
BIS hind legs and howls over the
beauties aud perfccilons Of his city,
or uses bis Jaw to work some friend
into Office. Then It Is windy In a
superiaiivedeeree. Otherwise, other
wise. II Is not bot here In winter
spokane Is a few degrees north Of
the equator, and while We dislike TO
admit it wo have not a tropical ell
mate Il SHOWS here some, and at
times a mon becomes 70 mad at his
thermometer for getting low down
that be feels like going out and belt
Ing Il with a club Yet 1t docs not
become cold with The Intense bitter
ness that accompanies a winter in
thc same latitude east Of the Rocky
mountains, still we do not wish 10
Dead fellow being astray by saying
that he can enjoy life here the year
round IN a straw hat and Piccadilly
collar. Our advice to the scribe Is to
run up and have 4 look at the coun-
try before taking stock.
The above communication IN all
lls preaiine originality Is sample Of
the letters Mr.. Mccartney receives
IN answer to an advertisement
s'icams wanted" We would gently
hint 10 correspondents that the gen
tieman is not runningan intelligence
hops He has other work to do than
answer such inquiries from parties
who are always thinking OF making
n move and who never "got up and
riLn The presumption would nat
unlly Dc that few men Of any vim
would stand what the writer claims
% have put up with, for ave long
trying years. This Is no county
for that class Sand, and vim, and
rustic are needed here 20 keep q
whole menagerie from the door.
