CHEHAL1s COUNTY FARM.

We take pleasure in introducing TO our
readers the second article OF the series ON
.sChehalis County Farms" description
Of Mr.. A. Boyer's ranch on Black river
A. Bowers ranch is located at Porter
creek. about seven miles east of Elma,
and is another specimen OF what farmers
can achieve, if they viii, in this wonder
fully productive locality. Mr.. Boyer en-
tered upon his farm duties three years
ago. at which time there were only about
ten acres not more than half cleared. To-
day, out OF 100 acre farm, 40 acres, all
bottom land, are under cultivation, and
its productive pioclivities are amply
proven by Mr.. Boyer's own figures. A
great many people think this is no wheat
region, yet Mr.. Boyer tells us that from
two acres he realized S71a bushels OF
wheat, making an average OF over forty
bushels per acre. His barley crop even
exceeded this, 755 bushels being raised
from twelve acres OF land, or an average
of nearly sixty-three bushels per acre;
while OF oats 100 bushels per acre is the
average per acre ON five acres for this
years harvest; little over 80 bushels
were raised on IL acres last year. Truly,
these are not discouraging figures. This
does not sound as though cereals were a
failure in this vicinity.
Mr.. Boyer's hay crop for this season
was also exceedingly good. The ample
hay.mow creaks under its heavy burden
of 321a tons Of hay reaped from twelve
acres of land. Enough potatoes were
raised for family use.
Mr.. Boyer has out an orchard consist
ing OF 100 trees, which are not bearing yet.
He has also succeeded in gathering
about him considerable stock.
He now owns five horses, consisting OF
one heavy Team, a span of colts and
years old, and one riding horse. Also
four COWS, and several head of young
stock, besides six very fine thoroughbred
Chester hogs.
Mr.. Boyer has not toiled three years in
vain. Neither need any other man who
is equally energetic and persevering. On
soil where vegetation grows so luxuri-
antly and where climate and mother
earth are equally good, such farms as
that of Mr. Boyer's should be more nu-
merous. Democrat.

ACCOMPLISHED FACTS.

Although the still undeveloped re-
sources Of this country are SO vast, we are
not among those who point only to the
future, in spite OF the disadvantages of
poor communication which have hamper
ed Aberdeen's growth, the location was
too fine to be overlooked and pioneer en-
terprise has established itself here. Five
years ago the site on which Aberdeen is
built was covered with virgin forest /;
to-day it is the only city in southwestern
Washington. In the race for supremacy
it has SO far eclipsed all rivals that it is
to-day the manufacturing. marketing and
money center Of the great Grays Harbor
Basin. A resume OF what has been done
:. Aberdeen shows:
Four saw mills running, with daily
capacity of 200, 1000 feet.
A foundry and machine shop kept con-
stantly busy.
A shingle mill being constructed with
an annual capacity of 2 200, 900 shingles.
Two sash and door factories at work
employing 50 men.
A ship yard, at which three-masted
schooner, with capacity Of 100000 feet
of lumber.
Three salmon canneries whose annual
output is $4,000 cases.
The best electrically lighted city in
Washington, a system OF fire protection
and water works. The electric light COM
pany have capital Of $4,000, and two
dynamos, one for arc and one for incan-
descent lights.
A pay roll OF $50, 900 month.
Two first-class banks.
Aberdeen is the only place on the;Har-
Dor where wharves can be built along the
shore line.
Aberdeen has five times as much
wharfage front built as all other places on
the Harbor combined.
THE WAY TO ABERDEEN,
A reference to the map of Western
Washington will show where Aberdeen
is located. There are four routes to reach
Aberdeen from the East; go to Tacoma
or Olympia and take the steamer Multi
nomah from either place for Kamilchie,
where the steamer connects with the Pu-
get Sound & Grays Harbor railroad at
Montesano, close connections are here
made with the steamer that arrives at
at Aberdeen at 5 p. M, or take the Asto-
ria steamer at Portland for Astoria, then
cross to nwaco, take cars to Shoalwater
Bay, then steamer to North Cove, then
stage along ocean beach to Peterson's
Point, where the steamer will then bring
you to Aberdeen; or you can take the
steamer Alliance at Portland and have
an ocean trip around and she will

. More About Fire Guards.
Editors western Kansas World:

Editors Western Kansas World:
DEAR SIRs:-In continuance of the SUBJ
jet Of legislation respecting the depre-
dation Of fire, allow me to say that there is
already law, not generally known, vest
ing the power in townships to vote q tax
for the purpose of making guards against
fire. Said tax not to exceed mills, to be
voted at the general election at the in
stance OF petition of one-third resident
electors within said township. 1t further
allows any tax payer the privilege of
working out the tax. The machinery is
somewhat cumbersome but still good in
general effect if carried out. 1t is to be
regretted that people do not generally re-
alize the destructive nature of fire to the
agricultural interests, else this would have
been attended to. Did they but feel it
as truth they would need no arguing to
carry granted powers into effect. 1t is
not enough that the law makes it posi-
bic; it ought to be obligatory, There is
another thing that is to be regretted, and
that is that no action can be taken before
the November election. I think however
that the people of our township. Wilcox,
will certainly take the steps then, and
for enc would like to see it taken up by
all within the county.
Remember this, every resident can
work out his tax, non-residents may COM
plain that taxation is not fair; then let
them come out and live here as we do.
1t is their land that needs the protec-
ton and we are willing to pillow their
fire guards if they pay for it.
In addition to the above let our repre-
sentatives take up the matter as soon as
possible and make it requirement for
each section to be protected by the own
or or owners thereof, and they made re-
sponsible for any damage caused by fire
spreading from their land, or crossing
the same to joining land, unless the due
precaution has been observed.

The Popular Line

To the east is the Burlington Route
(Hannibal & St Joseph R. RI. The SER
vice by this line has been constantly i'm
proved until it has reached a degree of
excellence surpassed by none; and equal
ed by few. The BurliDgton's "Eli' is
probably the most popular train running
between the Missouri river and Chicago
being solid through vestibule train of
Pullman sleepers and free chair cars.
Leaving Kansas City, Atchison and st.
Joseph after supper, the passenger ar
rives in Chicago at 9:15 in the morning.
Having taken breakfast on one of the
Burlington's world renowned dining cars
ample time to make all eastern connec-
tons.
For the convenience Of passengers from
Kansas City the ELI takes dining car
out of Kansas City on which east-bound
passengers are served with a supper
which is equaled by few hotels.
The Burlington's st. Louis line though
comparatively new, is becoming better
known and growing in popular favor
every day until it bids fair in the near
future to be the favorite line between the
Missouri river and st. Louis. This train
consisting OF through sleepers, chair cars
and coaches leaves Kansas City, Atchison
and st. Joseph after supper and puts the
passenger In st. Louis for breakfast, and
ample time to make all connections.
You are also requested to bear in mind
that the Burlington KANSAS City st. JO-
seph & Council Bluffs r. r. is the only
line running through Pullman buffet
sleeper between Kansas City and st Jo-
seph and st. Paul and Minneapolis. This
is the short line between Kansas City,
st. Joseph and Omaha. Through daily
trains with sleepers and chair cars.
In whatever direction you travel be
sure your tickets read over the Burling-
ton route, thereby insuring yourself the |
