A COMPARISON of the claims of
the two sections Of country repre-
sented by North Dakota and Wash
ington and Oregon does not give all
the good points to either. Western
Washington and Oregon offer princi.
pally timber, good soil and mild eli
mate. The eastern parts of those
states differ very little in climate
from North Dakota and portions of
them present to the observer a far
more desolate, treeless waste than
the latter. Although the country
west of the Cascade mountains boasts
of a milder winter than we have
here, it is at the cost of the cheerful
sun. The days follow one after
another in gloomy, cloudy, wet mon.
otony, when it seems that a man
would give anything for a few hours
of blessed sunlight. The soil there
is rich and fruits, grain and vegeta.
bles grow abundantly, after the land
is cleared of the immense forests.
A poor man going there to open up &

FROM some reports in regard to the
cattle market ut Chicago, it looks rs
though only the best of stock could
bring anything like Il good price. No
feeders arc wanted, only fat, young
steers are desired. This state of
things will not discourage the cattle
men of western North Dakota, OH the
contrary they have cause to rejoice,
for the feed, always good, is This year

that is greater than usual. If the
cattle from this section do not bring
the highest price paid for range stock

Judge Henry. at Chamberlain, has
