CHANCES
IN THE =
NORTH WEST.

1t would seem, without
requiring much study of the
subject, that young men Of pluck
energy, snap and judgment, and
capable of becoming, In some way
producers, and not a tax on the
community, ought to make a
success of 1t in the Northwest.
Take for example a good young
farmer, or mechanic, IN the region
of about the parallels of 46o and
40 of latitude.
In Minnesota and North
Dakota there are the great wheat
prairies Is producing a race of men
and women of whom any section
may be proud.
In Montana and Idaho are
stock ranges unequalled elsewhere,
and raising the finest beef and
mutton to be found.
In Washington and Oregon
are fertile Wales, and mountain
slopes and foothills that bring
forth golden grain and delicious
frouths. The young farmer that
has sufficient means to make a
fair start can find good opportu.
mites in the Red River Valley IN
Minnesota and North Dakota; the
Gallatin aud Bitter Root valleys
and mountain pastures in Montana;
the Palouse country, Big Bend
region, or the Kittltas or Yakima
valleys IN Eastern Washington.
The Puget Sound Country offers
still another chance for good
location.
The many cities both large
and small found in this extended
belt are steadily growing as the
country is settled up and the
mining industry thrives, and offer
to the macblnest and tradesman
frugal and thrifty habits, chances
for getting on.
All in all this is a remarkable
country, and its superior scenic
features lend it an added charm,
for inspiring scenery IS a great
adjunct to prolific fields and
grazing grounds of rich herbage.
If anyone desires to investi-
gate this further he will be
rendered all assistance possible by
CHAs. S. FEE, Gen, Pass. and
Tkt. Agent of the Northern
Pacific r.. R., who upon appllca-
ton will gladly send folders maps,
and publications bearing or the
subject.

This is what the "W. d. Boyce Bureau

you, and without one cent Of cost for
the service. Some trustworthy person

they are comfortably and pleasantly

CITY CouNCIL.-The first regular
meeting of the City Council since last
July will be held tonight. During the
recess the chambers of both boards
have been renovated, and they now
present a most inviting appearance.
The walls have been artistically and
tastefully papered and the furniture
vanished. The cornices in the cell
ings have been rendered secure and the
unsightly gap in the south wall of the
Aldermen's chamber no longer exists,
nor do any of the cracks or apertures
that were visible in both chambers a
few months ago. Mayor Strauss will
send message to Council tonight in
which he will make sundry recommen-
dation, among them one regarding the
use of the old Sun engine house for po-
lice purposes, and another respecting
the stone in what was once the Alex
audria Canal The Mayor suggests
that the stone be utilized for improving
the unpaved streets of the city, and
that the members of the chain gang be
employed in breaking it up.
