Snohomish Sun: Now is the time to

the Union. II she Is not settled at this

people Of the northern and eastern states
here, men Of industry and capital to de-
velop the many diversified resources Of

and the wheat fields have made Dakota
what she is; gram and stock raising have
made Illinois; corn has made Iowa and
Nebraska; copper has made Michigan,
and fine horses have made Kentucky
famous the world over; ship building has
made Maine, and granite quarries have
made New Hampshire. Ohio may rank
first in wool, New York in potatoes and
hay, Texas in cattle and Pennsylvania in
iron and coal, but where is the state, in
all the Union, that has all these resources
combined like Washington? She will yet
rival California in her gold mines, Colo
RADIO in her silver mines, Dakota in her
wheat fields, Michigan in her copper and
Pennsylvania in her coal and iron, New
Hampshire in her granite and Maine in
her sAlp building. Where is there bet
ter country for stock raising. fruit growing
and fishing than Washington? Not only
does she rival all other states IN their
chief productions but she possesses advan-
tages which many Of them do not. We
will, in short time surpass all other
countries in the world in hop raising.
We possess the greatest proportionate ex-
tent Of navigable waters, have the finest
harbors, the most fertile soil Of any state
in the Union. And above all other ad-
vantages is our salubrious, healthiul eli
mate. Good health is the one great re-
QUESTION, without IL all else would amount
to naught. Here there Is no ague. no

summers, but q cool, invigorating breeze

Senator Stanford's filly Sunol broke the
3-year-old record at the Bay District track
at San Francisco, Nov. 9th, when she
trotted mile in 2:l0JS. This lowers the
3-year-old record Of 2:l2 recently made
by Axtell. During the last few weeks
horsemen have been greatly interested in
the approaching test Of Sunol's capabili-
ties. and when the FLY was brought out
this afternoon there was q fair crowd
present to witness her performance. She
was accompanied by runner during the
trial. The start was made with the latter
about q furlong behind Sunol. The FLY
reached the quarter in 81 seconds and
went to the half in los, and 1t then
seemed certain that, barring break, she
would succeed in lowering the record.
Her time to the third quarter was 1874.
The runner pressed her closely down the
stretch, and Marvin, her driver, applied
the whip, but the colt did not make the
slightest skip, and passed under the wire
in 2:l0L. When the time was announced
there was wild scene among the specta-
tors, and the enthusiasm continued sew
eral minutes.
