Questions Worth Considering.

Put on your thinking cap and sit
down on your front porch for while,
and see if this magnificent young state
is not as good place to live as can be
found anywhere on this green earth.
this is not idle talk, meant for people
living elsewhere, but for those who
make this state their home. Did any
one ever see better climate than we
have? If so when and where? Did
anyone ever live in healthier state
than Washington? If so, when and
where? Did anyone ever see larger
crops raised? Where? Did anyone
ever see more people making living
from small acreage, in proportion to
population? Tell us of it. Did any
one ever see young state as we'll sup
piled with transportation facilities and
better market for produce? And
future prospects. Never mind them.
When one gets TO thinking ABOUT them
it is hard to convince himself that he
is not romancing, so bright are they,
because of the many advantages which
our state possesses. Just take the
state as it is, hard times and all, and
tell us where you can find its equal.
Eastern people talk about our wet
winters, but one single storm in
single locality in the east causes the
loss of more lives and the destruction
OF more property than all the storms
that have occurred in. Washington
since the first white man set foot on
our soil. There are many things worse
than Washington winter and moth
ing better than a Washington sum-
mer.-Immigrant.
The Mason County journal. [volume] (Shelton, W.T.) 1886-1927, 1896-05-15

IMMIGRATION efforts will pave the
way for many new home builders, and
altogether the outlook excites big
hopes that brighter days are coming.
Shake yourself together little earlier
in the morning, stick to what you
have to do and put some style into the
doing it, save penny where you can,
spend dime where it will do the
most good, read your Bible and Re-
porter regularly and carefully, have a
whole lot of faith in yourself, and with
good will for your neighbors and a
merry heart in your bosom, be ready
to meet half way the happier days
ahead.-Nooksack Reporter.
