Senator Voorhees, is said to be rousing
the echoes of the Wabash with the charge
that theIFarmers' Alliance is an auxiliary of
the Republican party. Fear that the alli-
ance may hold the balance of power IN the
election of United States Senator proba-
bly, has something to do with Mr.. Voor-
hees's action.

A Little Farm well Titled.

AS an indication of the capacity for
productveness of the valley lands of
Washington, we would call attention
saws the Washington Farmer, to the fig
ures following, representing the results
of a seasons work. Mr.. Hooper, last
wear, rented twelve and half acres OF
land near Stuck, giving one-third crop as
rental. The produce already sold amounts
10 $4,000, and there yet remains to be sold
100 loads, worth at IL very low estimate
$4,000. This makes the gross results
$4,000, giving $1,000 to the owner as rent
al or $l6O per acre. The products of the
above land were vegetables, arranged as
to succession so as to have one crop sue
coed another as far as possibly reasonable.
The land which will produce a rental Of
S1GO per acre must have Il heavy intrinsic
value. Ten per cent of ST. 600 per acre
for land is largely in excess OF the returns
OF the very best of eastern agricultural
lands, and it is certainly apparent that
real estate having this productive capac-
ity is good thing to get hold of at tic
present time. The above shows also con-
clusivcly that work ing man cannot do
better than invest his funds to some extent
in small tract of five or ten acres as a
place where he Can earn handsome re-
turns if his other occupations fail.

Keen an Eye on Quiniault

Tue Ouiniault and Humptnlips country
lies TO the north of Gray's Harbor, ano
should be made tributary to 1t. Tue
waller WAYS flow from the north to the
south into Cray's Harbor. and as far as
shipment of lumber and future agrlcul-
tural products are concerned, this pom,
has every adv antage over all others. Al
present the only tangible effort being
made to tap this vast country north OF us
is bv logging railroad running west
from an arm of the Sound. intended to
tap the very heart center of this tributary
country. Such road, completed TO the
Humptulips river. and the newly plated
town of Ouiniault would seriously draw
from q quarter ut present making Gray's
Harbor their source of supplies. 1t is
stated that this brOad-guagc logging road
81 already within twenty miles OF the
Hump!ulips, and possibly may reach 1t,
and maybe. come south to some point
Oh the Harbor-lIoquiam for instance.
This north country is fast filling up
with settlers, and with the natural and
pondcrous supply Of timber, 1T is too
grand fell to be overlooked or TO al
low to be forced TO other quarters Tor sup
plies and for market.
Then what snail trays IlarUor pcopie
do about it? Steamboats, now run up the
Huquiam river distance Of ten or twelve
miles-more than half the distance to
the Hnmptulips river. The divide is free
from hills and comparatively level. Al
least a good road might be maintained
across the divide, and possibly a railroad
I'D and across from here may be a result
of the near future. At least it is well
that our people be thinking of these mat
tiers, and thinking to some purpose, take
action in due season. Look we'll 10 the
