mony in the colony and all the mem
bers seem perfectly satisfied with their
companions and with the organization.
Further particulars are given by the
Spokane Chronicle:
The building of a sawmill, cutting
lumber and putting up twelve or fifteen
new houses will keep everybody busy
the coming spring and summer. There
is also plenty of work to be done about
| the farm. The orchard, nursery and
vineyard are to be cultivated and ex-
tended. Fruitraising is to be the prin-
cipal occupation, after few acres have
been set aside for poultry and vegeta-
bles. Grapes especially are to be culti-
vated, as the leaders believe they offer
surer returns and larger profits than any
other fruit.
Next year it is probable irrigation
bitches will be dug. The land yields
, well without them, but can be easily ir-
rigated and the farmers say it will pay.
Little by little they propose to increase
their colony and buy more land. For
the present they think twenty families
are enough to try the experiment.
The direct control of the colony's af-
fairs is vested in the board of directors,
which consists of Mr.. and Mrs. Jewett,
| Mr.. and Mrs. Hunsecker and Messrs.
Pierce, Mann and Campbell. These are
expected to assign the work of each
member of the colony. So nearly as
possible all the necessary industries will
/ be represented The colony includes
men of all trades, blacksmiths, carpen-
ters, an engineer, an architect, Jew
eler, etc. All the unnecessary trades
are to be abandoned for the present, till
the community is able to afford luxu-
ries. There is a school house at White
Salmon, near the farm, and for q, year
or two the colonists' children will at
tend the public schools. After that
separate system may be planned.
Just what arrangements will be made
FOR religious services is uncertain.
It is proposed to build a town hall
in the new village for entertainments
public meetings, ETC., and it is ex-
pected that regular Sunday services
will be established in the near future.
The plan of cooperation leaves each
] family to regulate its home life as il
chooses. Only the husband is required
to work as the executive board may di-
rect, though if the wife wishes to pay
her initiation fee and devote her time to
the general work of the colony the
family will be allowed double pay.

Business Foresight.

Pease & Mays are plungers in the ad-
vertising line. At time when a great
many merchants of the city have dis
continued their advertisements, under a
mistaken notion lof economy. Pease &
Mays have doubled their space and are
reaching out for more patronage through
a medium which they have tried and
not found wanting. For two years they
have advertised continually in THE
CHRONICLE at great expense, but the
phenomenal increase of their patronage
has justified it. Their trade is more
than local one, as for distance of two
hundred and fifty miles settlers come in
to place their orders at the great dry
goods and general merchandise empor-
ium of Pease & Mays. Their announce
ment today should be of value to all our
readers, who will Appreciate good story
of business foresight by which they are
to be the gamers.

THE WORK BEGUN.
Mr.. j. Stadelman Believes that Oraniza-
tion Only Will Help Fruitgrewers.


Mr.. J. Stadelman, well-known fruit
raiser of this section for many years,
takes a lively interest in the recently
organized Northwest Fruitgrowers, who
held their initial meeting at Spokane,
and believes that organization only will
protect the fruit men SO as to make
their avocation profitable. He says he
has lost great deal of money every year
through the methods.of the transporta-
ton company. The railroad company
hauled his fruit in an ordinary box car,
and this was part of the local freight.
As consequence his fruit spoiled before
reaching It's destination, by reason of
the great changes in emperature of the
night and the day.. He believes that
one man is powerless to prevent this
treatment, and is willing and anxious to
identify himself with body of men,
whose numbers will insure fair treatment
at the hands of the transportation COM
pany. Heretofore, he says, we could
not compete with California-grown fruit.
Not only is the freight tariff as low or
lower from San Francisco to Spokane
than from The Dalles to Spokane, but
they have been furnished refrigerator
cars on fast freight time which arrived
at their destination in advance of cars
from this point.

why They Are So Good.

IL is well-known fact that unless
beeves are In the right condition before
slaughtering the meats obtained from
them are unwholesome. The proper care
in handling meats To insure their being
nutritious and healthful. is usually given
only where modern refrigerator system
is in operation. In such a plant, like the
one operated by the Pacific Meat Com
pany at Meeker, this care to insure the
meat being in condition. begins as early as
when the cattle are selected by the buyers,
and never ceases until the beeves have
been cut up and sold at retail In the many
markets in this and other cities on Puget
sound. Absolute cleanliness is main
tanned throughout every stage, and as a
result the refrigerator meats are placed
before the purchasers in wholesome con-
dition, being firm, tender and nutritious.
This method of handling meats is. very
much superior and decidedly more health
ful than the systems employed in ordinary
slaughter houses. and the people of Seattle
have not been slow in learning the vast
superiority of the refrigerator meats. You
can secure genuine refrigerator meats at
the Pacific Market House. sos Front
street. Try them once and be convinced.

NEW ROAD To THE soRTHwARD.
City Engineer Recommends IL From
Woodland Park to city Limits.

City Engineer Thomson has submitted
to the city council report on the pro-
posed roadway from Woodland park north
TO the city limits, fayorably recommend
ing IL and estimating the cost at 81 800 for
a twenty-four foot road TO connect with
the county road extending further north.
The proposed road, he says, would be
one mile long and the presen road follows
approximately the line of section along
an old county road which cannot be made
TO harmonic with any north aud south
streets. Woodland avenue sonth of sec
ton 8 runs 30 feet east of and parallel
with the west line of section T. while the
county has made road running north d.
rectly along the section line. By a slight
detection westward across Greenwood
cemetery Woodland avenue would form a
direct connection with this county road.
Mr.. Thomson says the owners of I'M
plated property in section are Homer
NJ. Hill, Mrs. ID, l.. Moody, William
CaTnes, W. +. PritchaFd and the Green
wood Cemetery Association. all of whom
have deeds to a sixty-foot street along the
described line ready for delivery 10 the

propriate money 20 improve a twenty-four
foot roadway from Woodland park to the
