tlnuo long, Spokane Falls will be
getting II reputation as II summer
resort. The explanation Is found
In the deep SHOWS Of last winter,
portions Of which still lie upon the
loftlcr ranges. The lakes, natures
reservoirs, are brlm full OF Icy wa
tcrs, the streams arc high, and the
result Is seei In the prevailing cool,
moist weather that Is doing 80 much
for the growing crops. q.
Here we are given n pncticai
illustration of the climatic changes
that will come with the reclamation
of the arid region. The moisture
from the melting SHOWS, instead OF
rushing away to the sea, VIII be
turned into the thirsty desert, cool
Ing the atmosphere and temperlng
the rays Of the summer sun. Ihus'
with increased wealth and pros
perity, we shall enjoy the comforts
Of more equable climate.
The future greatness OF large
portion of the Pacific Northwest
lies In the lofty ranges surrounding
Spokane Falls. 1t is not confined
to the timber that covers their long
slopes, nor to the metals that lie hid
den In their veins, nor the tall nu-
tritious grasses that cover their innu-
morable glades, 1t Is also to he
found In the deep SHOWS that lie for
months, untroddcn and nnsullicd,
upon every lofty peak and deep In
every lonely gulch. As yet, we
have scarcely begun to dream of the
possibilities of this vast storehouse
of one of the most essential elements
OF wealth. Nature, with q wisdom
too profound for the immediate
comprehension Of man, has planned
for the future with n generosity that
Ia truly magnificent. 10 the south
she has spread her broad plains.
Ten years ago we styled these plains
the deserts of Eastern Washington,
Oregon and Idaho. Now we know
that part of them are arabic, and
that the greater portion of the re-
maindcr can be mado surprisingly
productive by the application OF
water, and that the soil of these erst-
while "deserts' is the richest upon
the iace of the globe. A generation
hence we shnll know this region as
the garden spot Of America.
This Ia the soil, and nature has
not failed to provide the moisture.
Away to the north, extending half
way to the arctic circle, lies q great
natural reserve or storehousa OF
water. Within this broad domain
the SHOWS OF ON arctic winter are
held until the summer sun unchains
their icy bands and sends them on
their long race TO the sea. With a
wisdom that Is admirable she di-
reefs the course of every little
stream, so that 1t finds its way to
the great watercourses that flow
through the heart OF the arid re-
gion. Here the elements oil wealth,
fertile soil and an inexhuus,ible
supply of water, are brought to-
gether for the beneiicent uses ol
man, and all that is required OF him
Is the labor essential to the rewards
that nature has offered.

A DANGERO US DRIFT.

Day by day the contrasts between
poverty and wealth are growing
sharper and clearer in the cities.
Yet the great army of poverty
cursed people Is growing larger and
larger in the big towns.
The Henry George theorists say,
"Glve them land. That Is the PAN
acea for all the ills Of poverty
And so II would be, If they would
take the medicine, which they will
not. They cling TO the cities, with
all their misery and vice, rearing n
dangerous brood of idle and vicious
children, and shrink from the
bright, free life OF the fields and the
woods ns the Russian convict
shrinls from lifelong Punishment
to the mines Of Siberia.
This Is no thoughtless fancy, no
child of gloomy imagination. IL
Is observed in the East, and like
wise in the West. Labor agitators
"a short time ago sent out false and
alarming reports that hundreds of
men We're pnrading the streets of
this city clamorlng for work. Ifso,
they must have done the parading
in the dark hours Of the night, when
no one was looking, and their clam
or must have been quite mild. And
all the while the farmers down in
the Palouse were securing the coun-
try for help, and railroad con tractors
were advertising for thousands of
men and offering the highest wages.
The Rochester, n. v, Herald re
ports that the executive board Of
that city is overwhelmed with men
who beg for work, many Of them
with the desperation of hunger.
Yet within walking distance OF
Rochester there is work enough for
all who have the energy and deter
mnation to labor.
The Herald says that the wages
the farmers have to pay for labor
will generally give the employe
more money at the end of the year
than Is possessed by the employer,
and attributes the depreciation in
New England farming lands to this
tendency of the masses to DRIFT into
the cities. In old Massachusetts
farms are advertised 10y the score for
as low as 50 an acre, and often are
sold for less than the actual cost of
the improvements thereon. There
is reason In the explanation Of the
Herald. Immigration into the West
liz responsible for much of the depre-
citation in farm lands and the rush
to the city for the rest.
The city utterly units poor man
for country life. The farmer, the
pioneer, must rely upon his own
efforts for nearly everything. He
must be his own butcher; his wife
must bake her own bread, and cut
and tit the clothing of the entire
inmily. No millsman will come 10
their door In the morning, ind Ia
all ordinary cases of sickness the
family must do its own doctoring.
This sort of lifeis calculated TO make
men strong and self.rcliant. A boy
bred upon the farm learns to depend
upon his own efforts for success,
The reverse is the case with city life
Take the average poor man who has
been brought up In the town, turn
him loose upon the best homestead
In the West, and he would starve I,

To add to Mr.. Thornpson's diffl-
culties, he gained his nomination
only after n bitter factional fight be-
tween tho rival political bosses of
Portland, and II Is more than prob
able that the Simon wing OF the

inaries, played their cards for re-
vcnge, and "knifed" the man re-
sponslble for their defeat.

Chinese record, and also strengthen

farmers and laborlng men," That

laid before the national convention,
and II would not be at all surprising

L0oxzN0 AHEAD.

Wnile tho Agricultural collcgo ana
scientific and industrial schools
have been generously endowed by
tho United States with an imperial
gift of public lends, those lands win
not be available for some time, per-
haps not Tor years. They have not
ne yet been surveyed. Then the So
lections will have to be made befor re
title passes to the institution to be
benefited.
But even then, II 10 probable that
the college win be unable to realize
an available fund upon the grant.
BY the terms Of the enabling act not

sold for les than $40 per aero. Ultl-
mafcly they will bring that, and

the national government, at $i.25
par acre, 20 II IL not probable that
toe wild lands that will fall to the
college can be disposed Of Mt the
minimum price for number of

more than It's 100, 900 acrcs OF land,

And still another point should
not he overlooked. II the institiI-
tion Is placed in the suburbs OF Spo-
kane Falls, 1t would enjoy the nd
vantage OF being able to draw It's
puplis from IA center Of population.
The city and the college would im-
mediately be connected by means Of
rapid transit lines, and hundreds of
pupils would attend the schools
from their homes in this city.
1t will not be long before complete
free libraries will be established
here, and the pupils Of the state in
stitution would enjoy the advan-
tage Of being able to turn to them for
sources of information not found
within the walls of the college.
An impression, erroneous and uu-
foanded, is entertained by some that
the chief object OF this institution is
the teaching Of young men in the
practice of farming. Nothing could
be wider Of the purpose. Practical
farming will be taught only so far
as II may be necessary TO teach the
science of agriculture. Washington
has within her borders thousands oi
practical schools. every farm is one,
