new form when IL says: awhile It would be
both foolish and untruthful to claim thgt Weatr
ern Washington 10 free from al Objectionable
features - place in which to reside aud en-
gage in business of all kinds. yet It is fact BE-
yond question that there are few sections Of
country within the United States to which .
less number OF objections can be raised than
Washington west Of the Cascades. This fact IL

neither heat nor cold; the summers-so hot and
disagreeable in many other places-are here the
most delightful Of all seasons Of the year. The

free advertising-and 1t is the advertising 1t Is
after, it cares nothing for the change Of name
per se-we refrain from any direct reference to
either town or mountain"
