! ! had heard and read so much
about the Pacific coast that / made
Iup ny mind to 60 and see it. Ac-
cordingly ! started for the land that
knows no winter, some time ago.
Boarding the Northern Pacific rail
way at jamestown, Oak, / arrived at
Spokane Falls, w. r., in three days.
Good farming land is very scarce
west of Bismarck, and with very few
exceptions, is gravelly, sandy and
mountainous. While at Spokane
Falls | took trip into the Occur d.
Alene country, Idaho. There !
found beautiful lake and very high
mountains. / also went in another
direction from Spokane Falls TO see
some Of their best farming lands, but
found it very hilly, sandy, and a
good share Of it covered with pine
trees. AS ! did not want to 90 into
the numbering business l happily
concluded it was no place for me.
Spokane Falls is a pleasant city Of
about 5000 Inhabitants. Land with
in three miles Of town cannot be
bought for less than upwards Of SIoo
al acre, which, in my estimation, is
four times its value, and so / started
for Tacoma. I found the country
mountainous all the way there, some
Of it being covered with the largest
| pine and fir trees | have ever seen,
but as ! was in search Of good farm
| ing lands took the next train fer the
willamette Valley, in Oregon. Land
| ing at Portland made trip up 10
Salem, finding but little prairie, most
OF the land being covered with pine
and fir trees. This region lies in the
rainy belt, consequently vegetation
looked good.

best Land was worth from $40 to
$Ioo an acre, but did not like il well
enough to remain so ! struck out for
the Shasta country in California.
This is a very high and hilly
plateau. cold in winter but pleasant
IN summer. LAUNDERING is the chief
Industry. After chopping seven
foot log in two / had enough of il
and started for the Sacramento Vail
ley, Cal. found a good share Of
this valley to be swampy, suitable
only for stock raising and fever ague.
The price Of the best land is from
$Too TO $500, but as barley was only
yielding "a bushels per acre ana
wheat 2 bushels made up my mind
TO let well enough alone. Califor-
MAS big advertising crops are raised
of small patches near the foothills
Of the mountains where they can ir-
rigate and otherwise enrich the
land. Fruit and garden vegetables
are the chief products there irri-
eating is carried on. Land sells for
5000 and $500 an acre. / think it
is one Of the best fruit countries in
the union, and if could live OH fruit
and climate would be satisfied to re-
main there.

there and were disgusted with the
country on account Of drought,

The Convention.

The republican SeaYentlon AT
Chicago, which will nominate the
next president of the United States,
as sure as the sun shines, was called
to order by Chairman Jones, Of the
national committee, at noon on Tues
day. John w. Thurston, of Ne
braska, was chosen temporary chair
man, and made soul-stirring speech.
He took the convention out to the
great west and told them the west
WASH going TO disappoint the country.
In its glory and defeat, sunshine and
storm, prosperity and disappointment,
the mighty west held to its convic-
tions. Better defeat with conviction
than success with broken VOWS and
political dishonesty. He character
lied the republican party as the
party of protection It was born OF
the irrepressible desire to protect the
slave from the lash Of his master, and
to save our civilization from the
blighting curse of its crime against
humanity. 1t performed the sacred
mission Of protecting our republic
from secession and disunion, and
in later times succeeded in protect
ing the credit and currency of the
nation from repudiarion and initiation.
1t protected the public domain and
the honest settler by enacting the
homestead and pre-emption laws.
He deprecated any effort tonominate
Blaine against his will. Routine
business followed, after wb q Gen.
Fremont and Fred Douglas adj
dressed the assembly. The latter
urged the republicans to make short
work of driving from power
the democratic party, the
enemy Of slaves and sp-
pealed to the republican party not
to forsake the negro,
M. M. Estee, Of California, was
chosen permanent chairman. IN his
speech he thanked the convention
in the name Of the coast states for
the honor. He said he could not
say exactly what the platform would
be, but the people of the country
had echoed its sentiment and the
rattle Of the skirmish line was heard
TWO weeks ago from Oregon.
Mayor Roche presented the con-
vention with silver gavel from the
citizens of Chicago. Al gavel made
from the wood in Grants old desk
in the tannery at Galena was also
presented, also one made from the
wood Of the oak under which the re-
publican party was born.
Wednesday and Thursday were
occupied with The platform. which
was adoptedunanimousIy as reported
by the committee, and With the nomi-
nation Of candidates for the presi-
dency. The platform is a mastery

THE FISHERY TREATY.
Tho Supposed Features OF the Now Treat,

Tho Supposed Features OF the Now Treaty
Made With Great Britain.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Fisheries
treaty, which was signed Wednesday even
ing, was the subject of much speculation
and discussion at the capitol to-day. While
declining to give any specific information
as to its provisions, Secretary Bayard said
that for many years the great contentious
among American fishermen had been for .
fair and just construction Of the treaty OF
1918 and that the present treaty had been
framed by the American ncgo:iators with
aview to meeting the needs and necessities
Of American fishermen, and he believed
that II the treaty was ratified that end
would have been accomplished. From
n trustworthy source it is learned
that to American fishermen are secured all
the commercial privileges for which they
have been contending with the exception
Of the right to purchase bait IN Canadian
waters, which is expressly withheld, but
their right to enter Canadian ports for fuel,
water and repairs is conceded. Certain
bays which are specified are to remain I'M
der the exclusive jurisdiction of Canada.
There is nothing III the provisions Of the
treaty, it is said, which necessitates tho
removal Of the duty on Canadian fish, or in
important features. the treaty, it is stated,
is favorable to the United States, and while
new and valuable privileges have been ae-
quired, this has been done without any
costly sacrifice.

man Lewis arrived here from Philadelphia
last evening, bringing copies Of correspond
ence between himself and President Cor
bin, looking to resumption at all the
Reading mines. It was understood the
miners would be paid the old scale Of 50 %
until change was mutually agreed upon,
no prejudice to exist on account Of the men
having been on strike.
Lewis Immediately went into consulta-
ton with the members of the joint commit
tee, with the result that this action was
ratified and an address was issued order
ing immediate resumption. This sudden
turn In affairs produced the liveiiest graft
fcation among ali classes except the strik-
ing railroaders, who were abandoned to their
fate.
Lee and other railroad leaders are furi-
GUS at Master Workman Lewis and un-
sparing in their denunciation Of his alleged
perfidy. They were in close communica-
ton last night, presumably striving TO de-
wise some expedient to meet the new phase
OF the situation, but the universal opinion
among the outside community is that the
railroad strike is now o hopelessly lost
cause.

The Latest Electric Curio.

Mr.. Volk, whose electric railway is
known to all visitors to Brighton. Eng
land, has constructed an electrically
driven dog-cart which attracts a good
deal of attention among the leisure
crowds which throng the gay Sussex
watering place. 1t is driven by half
horsepower Immisch motor and six
teen small accumulators, which have !,
capacity equal to six hours work. In
the desire to keep the machinery light,
scarcely sufficient power has been pro-
vided, so that, although the vehicle
will make speed of nine miles an
hour on asphalt, it only makes a speed
of four miles on q soft macadam road,

singing in the magnolia ON the lawn, sat
all Monday morning General William s.
Harvey. Many Of his neighbors called
upon him, bringing congratulations. Chill
oren and ladies came with bouquets, and
many OF the winter jewellers called to
shake hands with the old man, for he cello
brated the seventeen anniversary of his
appointment as an officer Of the United
States army. The old soldier was pleased
with the attention paid to him, and called
his wife to exhibit to visitors the rusty
bundle OF parchnents which he had re-
celved from time to time, as he advanced
in rank. The first was his commission as
Lieutenant OF infantry. signed by President
Monroe, February IS, 1915; that AS Captain
by President John Quincy Adams, in 1875;
others signed by Presidents jackson and
Polk, and finally his appointment as Brig
adler General. signed by James Buchanan.
