A Letter From WASHINGTON.

SEATTLE, WASH, April %, 1897
EDITOR JOURNAL
Dear Sir: Many of my friends in
and around River Falls wanted to
know how found things in Washing
ton. You will therefore oblige me by
publishing these few lines.
There is plenty of good government
land to enter under the homestead
law, but west of the Cascade range it
is all very heavily tim bered. Saw
mills are scattered everywhere along
the Sound, employing thousands of
men. Good honest, able-bodied men
who are willing to work need never be
idle. Men who can handle cross-cut
saw and swing an AK are the men who
are in good demand here. Wages do
not average as high here as in Wis
conSin and Minnesota. East of the
Cascade range there is good prairie
land near Colfax, Garfield and Spo-
kane, Wash. There are some SPLEEN
did valleys in Idaho. In east WASH
ington all the good farming land is
taken up, but you can buy tracts of
10 or 20 acres very reasonably. ]
would advise no one to move his fam
lily here before looking the country
over, because what would suit one
might not suit another
Three weeks ago, when L arrived at
Seattle, / found the apple trees in
blossom, and the flowers, in bloom,
seattle is lovely city. There are SO
miles Of electric street car tracks.
From Seattle can be seen Mount Ia
coma, sometimes called Mount Rain
ier'. 1t looks as though it was only
seven or eight miles distant, but in
fact it is 60 miles from here. 1t is
IA, 440 feet in height, and its top is
covered with snow the year round.
My son and | went all through the
battle ship "Oregon," which is IN the
dry dock at the navy yard. She is a
beauty and a credit to our navy-a
great improvement over our noble
wooden ships Of 80 years ago.

Scion L. Perrin has been appointed
receiver of the Consolidated LanC
Company. This is known as an East
End organization, with capital stock
of three million six hundr"d thousand
dollars. 1t was Organi. in boom

Will Eiuht II.

The recently elected mayors of
tie cities of Madison, Oshkosh and
Superior do not take kindly to the
provision made by the legislature
for civil service reform in the police
and fire departments of cities of the
second and third class. Their
principal objection to the law is,
that it went into effect a few days
too early in the season. They
wanted first to reorganize these de-
partments in their respective cities
and then appoint the civil service
commissioners afterwards. In SUI
perier the city attorney decided that

RIVER FALLS, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY. MAY g. 1897

the new law was no good, whereupon
the mayor appointed a new chief
for the fire department. The com
mon council refused to confirm this
appointment, and then the mayor
recognized the law by appointing a
new board of police and fire COM
missioners. This gives Superior
two boards of commissioners, one
of which was appointed as the law
directed, by the outgoing mayor,
and the other by the incoming
mayor. 1t seems probable that
nothing short of a Supreme Court
decision can fix the exact status of
the attempt on the part of the
legislature to provide for greater
efficiency in the police and fire de-
partment of cities.

Some little curiosity as to the exact
nature Of the Order Of American
Crocodiles has cropped out here and
there about town, until we have felt
it an imperative duty to show up the
menaeery in true and unmistakable
eolors-that Is, so far as a layman is
able.
Strictly speaking, the American
crocodile is, of course, nothing but an
alligator wide, Webster, or Frank
Webster's Standard. Not to spill
any crocodile tears over this fact, how
ever, we are safe In saying that the
order had its birth on the evening of
March Sth. Even the mem bers adj
nit this much.
From an unsophist.cated reptile,
who has not been long enough Initi-
ated TO become callous, we have even
learned the names Of the charter
members and the more essential "ob-
jects" of the club. These

drive away the best teachers.
