Except by those who have had
experience in the rich milk-giving
qualities of the Jersey as q family
COW, and her gentle, easy-going
habit and docile affectionate dispo-
sition, that seem almost insepara-

little idea can be formed of the
real luxury and solid comfort to be
derived from this source of neces-
sary supply to the family needs.
Every family requires milk and
cream, and IN cities in almost every
section of the country the univer-
sal cry goes up condemning the
quality of these articles as furnish
ed by the average dairyman; hence,
those whose surroundings and cir
cumstances are favorable, adopt
the more satisfactory plan of OBJ
tanning the supply from their own

Tie services at the dedication OF the
Good Templars' hall Thursday night,
were most interesting. The address of
Milo z. Ward was listened to with most
intense interest by every one present.
Mrs. Mcintyre sang with her usual sue
cess. The address of Grand Chief, Rus.

Miss Bell StockaGd are worthy of note.
Miss Annie Lindsay acquitted herself
creditabIy in the recitation, "A soldiers

lady was in fine voice and received con-
siderable applause. Perhaps the best

PORT TOWNSEND.

For many centuries the Straits of Gi
braltar was the Western boundary OF The
Old World. Ali eyes turned TO the east
Every dream OF empires; every thOuRt oi
power; every mode of improvement
every topic of riches, Of glory or fame
shaped its way to the Orient The gold
and precious stones of l. liza were in the
east, the Learning of Arabia and the mys-
teries Of Egypt were in the cast. East
. the Urugaders swaTmed to take the Holy
city, and even Columbus was seeking
the east when he discovered the west,
! and turned the finger of destiny to the
Occident
For four centuries now the sweep OF
western world has grown up the greatest
nation IN the worlds history, and there
seems no bounds to the pcsaihlli'!es OF
the fnture, so long as the natural in
crease of the earth exceeds the decrease,
so long will the steady current fiom
the sast TO the west continue. The old
world will continue tn pour its surplus
into the new and the east into the west,
seeking equilibrium. The Atlantic re-
giou will become dense with people, the
Mississippi valley Will be filled and the
Pacific coast grow rich ana popuious.
here and there great trade centers will
adjust themselves III an evenly balanced
continent. Near the poi Mt where th
straits of Fuca merge into .hst eaperb
stretch OF sea water known as Puget
Sound, nature has marked the site for a
city, where one as large as New York
can stand.
Port Townsend already has q plgce on
the map and u recognition among men

ing events cast their shadows before in
clearer outline than in this little city Of
the strait and sound, These are some
of its advantages:
THE FIRST AND LAST HopsR OF 0ALL,
1t is the first American mainland

whilst on the other hand it is the last

FISHING ADVANTAGES.

1t is nearest to the coming fisheries Of
the North Pacific coast, which must be-
come a vast insxhaustible source OF
wealth. New England fishermen have
already made this their headquarters.

THE OPENING FOR BUSINESS.
Port Townsend has more than one
string to her bow, but we de not wish to
mislead the reader with the idea that
everyone can catch Oh; that there is n
fortune or even an opening for men
without regard to capacity or calling,
Good wages await trained mechanics,
laborers and domestic5, but there is no
great demand for professional men.
clerks or tried men; the outlook too is
poor for mere office-seekers or Ioungers,
but for farmers, gardners, stock raisers,
lumbermeu, capitalists, fishermen,
miners, manufacturers and practical
men in all productive fields the openings
are numerous.

Given one good crop and the farmers
of Kansas would be on excellent good
footing. The people of Kansas are hard
up but not poor. The failure of crops
has initiated against the farmer to the
extent of emptying his pocketbook and

can thank his stars he has credit. When
q crop is sold it will not take much to
repair the breaks in his credit. and iii

a great many people in this world much
poorer than the Kansas farmers. In fact,
where one is richer. ten are poorer. The
Kansas farmer can farm on much less
