John Lcary, OF Seattle, says better
times are coming, and have already
set in.
"You will remember" he said Sat

lower California had good times, and
later the good times worked up into
this State and Oregon.

self. Times have been good for some
time in lower California, and in 3
short time there will be a big stir up
here. The good times have set in,
and slowly but surely things are going
to pick up.
al agree with those who say good
times are coming when the lumber
business picks up. From inquiries
made of various mill men learn that
orders are increasing at the mills, and
business is better than it has been for
a long time. When there is plenty of
orders for the mills in this country it
will not be long before all other lines
of business feel it.
al believe we will have in this State
inside of ten years 100000 popula-
ton. In the past, the country west OF
the mountains has always had 70 per
cent. of the entire population of the
State, and it will remain the same in
the future; therefore, when the State
has 1.000,O 900 population the western
part of the State will have 100000.
"Of this population in the western
part of the State Seattle has had %
per cent. and Tacoma 90 per cent. At
that rate Seattle will have about 49,
600 population in 1905, while Tacoma
will have 10000.

said we would never recover. But we

Zone reason for believing that bust
ness is picking up on the Sound is
the fact that few days ago building

another for $4,000. These are genu.
inc real estate deals OF the more inn

ator Palmer for his attitude on the
money question, and was wildly cheered
at the conclusion of his remarks.
Ex-Congressman w. j. Bryan, OF
Nebraska, said in part:

are not here because we love him less,
but because we love our countrymen
more. cloud spplauss) We are not
here to say anything against the rights

the language used in letter written
by Grover Cleveland, published in this
mornings papers, indicating that it is
indecent" for man to hold Office
under this administration without
bowling to the dictatorship Of the head
of it.
"This is the first official declaration,
my friends, that to hold Office under

Democrats from interfering in politics
to defeat Republican-it is the first
announcement that Democratic Office

He then paid his respects to Senator

leader had gone, and that he had no
following among the Democrats. The

AN ARTEsIAN WELL ON THE RAMP
AGE.-The Martensen well, bored by
Barton & Co., on the mudflsts under
the property on Cherry street known
as Union Block, is gush ing forth q
steady stream from a depth of 80 feet,
but unfortunately the flow comes out
side the casing. instead of from
the pipe, and the vexatious question
is how to confine the stream so as to
raise it to the elevation required. 1t
is said that q mistake was made in u.s.
ing drill that was too large for the
casing, and the result is that the
water finds freer exit from the hole
bored than the pipe. Whether it will
be possible to lamp . filling around
the pipe that will resist the pressure.
or not, is q question on which there is
a wide difference of opinion. The feaI
is expressed by those who have flow
ing wells, that the tapping of the sub
terranean reservoir by puncture that
cannot be controlled may open up an
escape that will seriously impair theiI
own supply.

EASTERN SECTION.
The past week has been the most
favorable thus far this spring; the
showers that occurred being much
needed, giving great start to vegeta-
ton, and moistening the ground to 3
considerable depth. The nights re-
manned q trifle cool, and light frosts
occurred, but did no damage. In
Stevens county apple trees were in
bloom, and there will be an abundance
of small fruits from the looks of things.
In Douglas the nights were too cool
for the best growth of vegetables. In
Adams spring wheat looks first-rate;
winter wheat not 80 good, as it is thin.
In Lincoln the rains have been of great
benefit; the week warm, no frosts,
and ranges are now at their best. In
Spokane it was . good week, the
growth of fruit trees. and prospect tor
berries was never better. Fall wheat
is still the best; barley is No. l. The
hay crop will be light. In Whitman
vegetation freshened up wonderfully.
Earlier Gown fields are showing green
but grain is advancing slowly, consid-
ering the favorable weather. Only a
few fields of potatoes have yet been
planted. In Kittitss sheep steering is
progressing. The pastures are fine.
Corn is mostly planted. A large
crop of strawberries will be ripe in two
weeks. In Yakima, Garfield, and
Walla Walla counties the long.looked-
for rains came, and the prospect is
very encouraging. In Columbia there
was not enough rain. In Asotin there
was the first good growing weather
this spring; crops advanced more than
during the three previous weeks to-
pether
