TOBACCO CULTURE.
Success OF the Experiment. Made At
Yakima.

Yakima.
The Tacoma Ledger says: The success
OF the experiments in the tobacco culture
on the Mckee plantation at Yakima is
worthy OF special note. There was little
room for doubt that tobacco Of fine quail
ity could be grown on the fertile soil of
that valley, but the curing of it was
problem of great importance and upon
Its solution the success of the business de.
pended. IL has now been shown that ar.
ti6cial control of the moisture of
the atmosphere during the pro.
cess OF curing tobacco Is as
practicable as the irrigation of the grow.
ing crop. Bv the means of steam aud the
distribution Of spray the tobacco can be
cheaply cured without the risks attending
the process iD Maryland and virginia.
The tobacco thus prepared has been found
to be almost equal to the choicest product
of Cuba, and the manufacture of cigars Is
to be added to the idustries of the Mckee
plantation. The value of this experiment
TO that part of the territory can hardly be
estimated. There is large tract of land
in the Yakima valley which will be of
III uch greater value If it can be cultivated
with tobacco than with any other staple
except hops and fruit. The average cash
value of farm products in the United
States for the year 1885, taken
from tue report or the commis-
sioner of agriculture. is as follows:
Corn, IS SO; wheat, $s.O5; rye, s. OF
oats. 81 So; barley. SIP 04; buckwheat.
So 70; potatoes, S34 40; tooacco. S57 40;
bay, $987 cotton, Sl4 IS 1t will be seen
that with tue exception of potatoes tobacco
is more than -four times as valuable than
wheat or corn, and If it should prove on a
large scale of cultivation that much su-
perlor quality eau be produced by the arti-
fetal control of the growth and curing of
it, the value of the Yakima product will
far exceed the average here given. IL ia u

NORTH IDAHO.

The Lewiston Stars and Bars says.
There is u constant stream of immigra-
tion pouring into, Washington territory
from the East. The objective points of
these immigrants are Spokane. Tacoma
and Seattle. They do not know Just where
they will locate, but they are bound to
make settlement in the paradise of the
Northwest. Very few of these people
know anything about the superior re-
sources of North Idaho, and are surprised
to hear that North Idaho is really part
of Washington territory. Those who do
not stop at Spokane generally move on
westward instead of branching of into
the rich agricultural fields OF Idaho This

EDITOR REVIEW: would like to call
the attention of the generous people of
Spokane Falls, through the columns of
your valuable paper. requesting them to
contribute toward raising fund for the
purpose of having an elevator put in this
hospital. Many patients who are con.
valescent would be greatly benefited by a
little out door exercise and fresh air In
their enfeebled state, especially in cases of
fever, but they have not the strength to 90
consequently have to remain in close con-
6nement. The building is three stories
high and the lady patients are all on the
third floor. There are two wards and
eighteen private rooms. Gentlemen also
occupy rooms on this floor. From four to
ten patients arrive daily. Some are so
weak they have to be carried up in a chair
by two men, putting and blowing under
their heavy burden, causing great dis
comfort to the patient and un-
necessary pain to the wounded
and crippled This is the only
institution of its kind in Spokane Fall---a
blessing to the public for either sick or
wounded patients. None but the most
skilled physicians attend the sick. and
nothing but the kindest treatment and
tender care is shewn everyone. These
angels of mercy treat all alike, regardless
Of religion or station. The county poor
receive the same gentle cheering words
and tender care that is bestowed upon the
private patieuts who pay the most.
would suggest that some of the bust.
ness men of Spokane Falls take this matter
in hand They will find no difficulty ia
raising the necessary funds to have an ele-
vator put in this building Immediately.
IL il to every persons interest to see that
this urgent necessity Is promptly attended
to. This ~ great advantage to the city.
Much credit and praise Is due to the noble
Sisters of Charity who tramped day after
day soliciting aims never tiring in their
efforts until they had accomplished their
mission and collected sufficient funds TO
build this hone for the afflicted. These
Sisters did not spare themselves anv labor.

their courage.

heart OF every true citizen ct Spokane

Flowers In Midwinter.

West Texas thus far the present season,
has fairly rivaled Southern California in
climate. Peach and pear tree leaves are still
green on the trees, while roses and even
more delicate flowers are not rare. We
were forcibly reminded of these facts this
week by the presentation by our friend,
Mrs. Gid johnson, Of large and elegant
bouquet Of choice tea roses of several diff
ferent varieties. Although In mid winter,
it would grace the spring time any day.
The grounds about the ouse Of Mr.. and
Mrs. johnson, although in cultivation only
couple of years, are already famed for q
profusion Of choice flowers, as they will
soon be for fruits also. Nor is this case ex-
ceptional in Texas, for the same blessed
morning in came Master Daniel Murchison,
son of our friend NJ. H. Murchison, with
another bouquet Of roses and other flowers,
also of fine varieties while diversified in
color. Mr.. M, not only has grounds adj
mirably "set off" with flowers but is one of
our most successful growers of grapes and
other fruits.
We wonder what our friends ut the north
will think of our winter gardens hore in
Texas.
