feet of lumber are So vsd at the mills of
this county annually and shipped west
ward. Mr.. kuteman, one of our promi-
nent millmen, told us the other day that
his shipn ents of lumber extended as far
north as Kansas City and southwestward
TO the far interior of Mexico.
Another important industry is coal
mining near Abba. on the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railway. A large ex-
tent of the surrounding country is under
laid with coal of Il good quality. 1t is
near the surface, easily accessible and
in good demand at commemorative
prices. We learn from Mr.. Howard,
one of the stock holders of the mine, that
four carloads, containing from fifteen
to TWENTY-FIVE tons each, of coal, are
shipped out West from Abba every
week.
On the red hills, east of Quitman and
Mineola, are abundant surface indica-
tions of coal and iron. And it is thought
by experts that a rich find will here re-
ward some enterprisng mineraiogist in
the near future. The state geologist
might be protitably employed in this To-
oality for awhile.
A few years ago near large spring on
his plantation in this vicinity, our well
known pioneer, Col. G. II. H2suesss3is-
covered quite a nupAsy nHseifcs 81 by
gone age, iggaaidsag indian pottery
beads and 46mahawks and old gun bar
sysIssatd silver coins of ancient date aud
with Spanish Inscriptions. All these Curl
osi;ies are kept by Col. Haines In a
careful state OF preservation subject to
inspection by all iuquirins patriotic Tex
aus. His theory, and il is plausible, is
that the guns and coins were left at the
spring by the De Soto party of Spanish
explorers who entered Texas from the
east in 1912 or '4S. This might be an
interesting item to the future historians
of Texas.
MIueola, our commercial metropolis, Is
busting city of 2090 people, on the
Texas and Pacific railway, with fine
graded schools, aud with several thriving
manufacturing enterprises already In
full blast. But the chief glory of Nine
ola is in being the best cotton market
in Eastern Texas. The highest
cash prices paid for cotton
did the work, and the trade area
of the city has almost doubled during
her liberality and fair dealing has in
ing, aud her supremacy as a cotton
market over all her rivals may be easily
maintained in the future.
Besides her products of the field Be
forest and the mine. Wood county has
contributed something in the way of
men to the greatness of Texas. Among
the distinguished citizens who have
sometime resided here may be men,

''fscile prlnceps inter pares, - cut short
in his useful career by untimely death !;
and, last but not least, Governor-eleot

For the better development of our
latent resources, our people recognize
the need OF immigration and of capital
and both would be heartily welcomed :.
1t is hoped, however, that with the
change of political power at Washington
will come the necessary ksist

advantages so long neutraliZed by bad
legislation will fully assert themselves,
her great Industries will awaken to the
hum of a new life and her waste places
Will blossom as the rose.

TO ENCOURAGE MANUFACTURES.
Seattle Industrial and Realty Board
Already at Work.

Last evening the real estate dealers OF
the city held well attended meeting IN
the Chamber of Commerce for the purpose
of organizing their association. j. w.
elise presided and L.. d. Ross acted as
secretary. After considerable discussion
il was decided to form corporation to be
known as the Seattle Industrial and Realty
Board. The stock will be divided into
shares of 500 each, and the capital stock
will probably be $i00.000-unless more
than 100 members ioin-in which case
there will be an increase. The SUBJ
scribers to the capital stock win be
asked TO pay but a small portion down.
The object of the association will be to
bind the real estate men of the city to-
gether for the purpose of encouraging in
dustries here and aiding the work of the
Chamber of Commerce. These points
were discussed at some length by d. b..
Ward and Percy w. Rochester. Finally
the subscription books were opened. and
twenty-eight put their names down Tor
shares of stock.
Then committee of five was appointed
to name trustees. who will be confirmed at
next Wednesdays meeting of the board.
Young, d. O'Hara, u. A. Mckenzie, A. b.
Llewellyn and John B. Denny. They will
also solicit stock.
L. Ii. Dempsey, r. E. Mccoy and Doug
las Young, special committee, made Il
report on the matter OF establishing
uouring mill in Seattle. They found:
First-In talking with parties who signided
their desire and intention of taking a consider
able portion of the stock, they universally favor
a 50o-barrel mill
Second-That a mill OF this capacity, exclusive
OF the site, together with wharyes, elevators and
warehouses, would not exceed $1,000, and with
an equal sum- with which 70 buy and earry
stock, the total to be invested need not exceed
Sl50,O00.
Third-The head of Wa Chong & Co. Conc OF
the largest exporters in the Northwest, stated
that last month they shipped Goo tons OF -four
from Portland to China, and this month have
Chartered the entire capacity OF two Canadian
racine steamers, amounting 70 over Ito tons,
for which they pay spot cash from $3.50 10 $3.50
barrel in Portland, according to quality. The
freight rate from Portland 10 China, VIA Van
cover, is IS ton. E. W McGinnis. the local
agent OF the Canadian Pacific, stated that he did
not believe there would be trouble to get Can
aslan Paclflc steamer TO take flour direct from
this port If the quantity were sufficient. Thus re-
loading would De avoided.
Notwithstanding to the figures from Port
land The cost OF Isl pounds OF wheat-which
makes one barrel OF -four, is s2.sI The sacks
cost 70 cents, milling 20 cents. and insurance -
cents; total OF $3.44 From that comes one bar
reiof flour worth So 49, and eighty iour pounds of
iced worth ~ cents, total OF S4-59. subtractng,
there is difference OF $lI5 for profit
The report was received. and then Mr..

An EIIensburg Editors Views OF the
Senatorial Situation--The Pass
ing Throng--Personals.

Mr.. S. T. Sterling, formerly publisher of
the Daily State Register, at Ellensburg, IS
stopping at the Snoqualmie hotel. In the
course Of conversation last evening he
said: after four years of hard work
have retired from the newspaper business
for the present. have leased my plant,
and | may ultimately sell it,
THE people over our way are consider
ably worked up over the railroad blockade.
In the Palouse country, further east, there
is more wheat than the roads can handle,
and at Ellensburg not enough cars can be
found to ship our grain and hay. You
know we go considerably on the raising OF
hay.
II think that the members of the legisla-
ture from our part of the state will be
strongly backed in an effort to have state
railroad commission appointed TO have
charge, as in other states, of the railroads
and eiev ators and to regulate freight
charges and fairs. The farmers feel as II
they were at the mercy of the railroads.
Speaking of railroads, the Great North
ern is going to open up a tine agricultural
and fruit country to the north of US. that OF
the Wenatchee, and it viii all be tributary
10 Seattle too. In fact all of the region
around Ellens5urg, but more especially the
territory through which the Great North
ern passes. will serve as afeeder for Seattle.
"The question of issuing bonds for irri-
CATION is receiving considerable attention
among us, and we feel that so much terri
tory can be reclaimed by irrigation that
the issuance of the bonds is very strongly
urged
"Ellensburg is now in hope of getting
emelter. Some of the ore from the Gle
elllm mines has been melted there, and it
makes very good iron. So we are prepar-
ing for furnace to reduce the ores from
these iron mines. The railroads are trying
TO change the name 'Cle-elum, as the old
settlers spell it, 10 'Clealum.'
''How are we on the senatorial contest?
Well, one Republican and one Democrat
were returned from our county and /
think the Republican leans toward Sena-
tor Squire. Calkins is personal friend of
mine, but favor Squire because he has
done well in this short term, and because
he is Washington man; that is, he has
been here for years, he knows the needs of
the state, and his interests are bound up
with It's prosperity"

IN some years the taxes have not been
levied; in some years they have been
levied and not paid, and stin there has

revision
We also believe that the harbor strip in
