LINDEN, WASHINGTON TY, April

LINDEN, WASHINGTON TY, April l..
To the Editor of the WESTERN KANSAS WORLD,
DEAR SIR:--There are many who are
looking for letters from me; and, as we
are very busy getting our machinery in
place, I have not time now to write to all,
so I will write this for publication. I
will give plain statements of the facts as
1 see them.
There is heavy tide of immigration
here. Some are well pleased, some unde-
cided, others disguised. Nevertheless,
this country is developing very rapidly.
Farm land ranges anywhere between gov
eminent price and $500 per acre. The
low land is the best for farming, as it is
very productive and easily cleared. The
up land is nearly as productive, but is SO
hard to clear. 1t will cost from SIS to
500 per acre to hire itScleared. But If a
sawmill is near, the timber will more than
pay for clearing.
Seattle and Tacoma are doomed SO
high that property is out of reach OF the
laboring classes or people OF moderate
circumstances, and real estate exchanges
are in the hands of married men. But in
most of the smaller towns there are splen-
did opportunities for men OF moderate
means to do thriving business in any of
the staple lines. Business is so brisk
that in many places merchants turn their
entire stocks into cash on an average
of from once month to five or six times
a wear. In our town the demand for
goods is greater than the supply. The
day laborer has not as good chance
here as if he had some money, but there
is an abundance of work to be done. The
trouble is, most of the laborers so to Sc
attic and Tacoma; and, of course, they
can not all get work, while other towns
are in need of hands. We have need OF
all kinds of mechanics. We need timers,
blacksmiths, butchers, carpenters, paint
ers, etc. I have seen a number of oppor-
tunities for men to do we'll in the above
lines.
Groceries, dry goods, ETC., are about the
same price as in Wa-Keeney. Wages per
day-laborers, from 81 to $3.50; carpen-
tiers, s. to $3.50; teams, Sc and steady
work. We need in our town a good
dairy, another butcher shop and a tin
shop.
There is a heavy trade in lumber all
along the coast, and prices are advancing.
New mills are starting up every day, but
the demand is growing rapidly. Timber
can not be had in large tracts. have
heard of no option deals in this part OF
the state. From four to eight quarter
sections are the largest tracts in body
owned by one party. Timber land ranges
in price from Sa50 to $4,000 per acre;
usually, $500. We have fourteen kinds
of timber here, but an abundance OF FIR,
cedar, maple and cottonwood. In some
plaees we find birch, ash, hemlock, alder,
etc..
We like it here pretty we'll. Some
things we don't like, and some we do.
Taking it in general, we like it better
than Kansas or Nebraska. Our mill is
about ready for business, and we have
orders for goods so numerous that we
have lost track of them, and quit promis-
we ara in good health and enjoying
ourselves finely. Will write moro pres

I do not. A hen that lays 100 eggs per

OF fresh water at the door of tie hem

off to feed and forage, and also on their

poultry are supplied in this way with

cusson OF the law bearing upon the letter alleged 10
have been written by Colonel Dudley, although no
direct reference was made TO the letter. The charge
was long, and in II the Judge held that the mere
sending by TO another of letter document
containing advice TO bribc voters or setting torth
scheme for such bribery, however bold and repre-
hensIbe, is not ndIctable. There must be shown IN
addition attempt by the receiver Of the letter, or

Identification this morning Just she yesterday,
she still asked the mob not to hang him, she might

was because she shrank from the responsibility u
