Colony being Formed to Take up the Vacant
 Lands.
 Among our readers the new town of Bridgeport, Washington, and surround ing free government lands is proving an interesting matter. We publish with this issue picture of part of the exhibit at the company's office, 43 Cannon street, as well as portrait of the president of the company. Already about 70 people have filed their names at the companies office as desirous of immigrating to Washington and taking up the lands sur rounding the town. This is going West under the best possible auspices as there will certainly be q considerable colony from this state. Seven start on April 19, and those desiring to go with this little party should address the Western Land & Improvement Company immediately. Some that will go later will enter into business at the town, taking up land as we'll. Land that will produce such pro- ducts as are on exhibition at the compan- ie's office should easily be worth eventu- ally $S000 claim of 16O acres, which is an item not to be sneezed at by a wage worker here. Bridgeport surroundedb by such resources and being the gateway to either the Big Bend farming country to the south or the Okanogan mining coun- l try to the north should certainly expert ence very healthy growth. The Con-
 necticut company. who own the township display great faith in it's future for they
 have invested over $S7 ,000 in it already
 and expect to invest thousands more.
 The fine brick hotel provides the town with fine accommodations. It is the head
 center for stages into the mining coun- I try,
