Nov, my plan of operation IL this:

to settle and the citiesIaround II. My labors
will be chiefly In Glasgow and Ayrshire,
induce agricultural people to come, and In
Ayrshire we will find the class we want.
The land will be sold to them on ten years
time, and no man can purchase who 10 not

OF the purchase price-and who cannot

arrives. The land all belongs to the North

batch OF immigrants In the spring, and
then 60 back for more"
NO PAuPERs WANTED.
"It is not the design to inundate this
country with paupers. The people Of
Scotland are thrifty and energetic, and
will make the best class of citizens. Most
of the farmers are paying rents per acre
there every year that will buy them acres
here. A corporation has been formed for
the purpose of loaning these thrifty
farmers money enough to buy implements
and stock necessary to put them on o
working basis, so to speak"
Mr.. Whyte has long line of relatives
and friends In and about Glasgow, none of
whom he has seen for seventeen years.
He looks forward to his trip with much
pleasure In the expectation OF meeting his
friends as well as with the great en-.
thusiasm that he feels in his work.
HIS FIRST VENTURE.
II is just FIVE years since that Mr..
Whyte, having made hurried survey OF
Washington territory, started east upon
this self.same mission. He had selected a
large area of railroad land which he
hoped to people with Scotch farmers by
going to Scotland and representing to its
people the advantages Of life in Washi 1g-
ton territory. When he arrived at Phila.
delphia, or before he got to sea, at least,
the cry Of forfeiture" put such damper
on railroad lands that his project fell
through.
But Mr.. Whyte saw the great future Of
Washington territory. If he could not
enlist his countrymen he could at least 20
and enjoy its advantages himself. So he
went to Tacoma, and now, 6ve years after,
all things secure with regard to the land,
and he himself equipped in manner that
makes him feel ashamed of the empty
handed manner in which he would have
undertaken the important mission before,
he starts for his old home in Ayrshire.
HIS EQUIPMENT.
Mr.. Whyte has been occupied for some
months in preparing himself for his trip.
He has visited all parts of the territory &C.
companied by q Photographic artist, who
secured views of the wild lands under cul-
tivation, orchards. grain fields, rivers,
railroads and cities, and such other sub
jects as will be treated Of in Mr.. Whyte's
talk to the Scots. and about which people
generally wish to know. He will have the
pictures prepared BY the best artists tor
exhibition by means of q steriopticon, and
by this means and the samples of fruit,
timber, grain, vegetables, coal, iron and
other minerals which he takes along, hopes
to 80 illustrate his argum ments with tangi.
BILE proofs a. to remove all doubts.
In few more days the grade on the
Northern Pacific road will be completed 10
Davenport and when tracklaying is again
resumed no stop will BIZ made until that
town is reached. AT present the track
extends to the big bridge at Deep Creek
falls and it will be q week before that
sists of forty-three spans, each sixteen feet
long and forty-fve feet high near the
middle. If the weather is favorable
Davenport will be reached by the 1st of
January. Between Medical Lake and
Cheney nearly 100 men are at work bal
lasting the track. Four trains are kept
busy hauling material, two on the main
line and two on the one under construc-
tion.
The Hunt road. via Eureka Flat to
Walla Walla. is to have side branch to
Waitsburg, which will eventually, no
doubt. be extended to Davenport pro-
vided Columbia county will go down into
its pockets and dig up enough collateral
to justify building to that place.

Der of Spokane men who are interested In
mines in this section yesterday in respect
to the effect, If anJ, the shutting down of
the great Anaconda smelter and mines
would have on the mining interests of this
region.
MIR. w. Hussy was seen in regard to the
matter and said he did not think there
would be any effect felt here as the output
of our mines is silver and lead and the
ore was principally shipped to the Wickes
and Great Falls smelters. Messrs. Lind.
sey, Goetz and Baer were of the same
opinion as Mr.. Hussy. There is little or
no ore sent to Anaconda from this section,
hence the shutdown will not effect our
mines q particle. It is thought. however,
that it will bring new settlers here from
among the men who have been thrown out
of employment, and will greatly aid in the
progress and development Of new claims in
this region.
