Agriculture.

Have we, then, no agriculture in this
end of the statef Yes, but very largely
in the shell. Development is slow, be-
cause it is difficult to clear the ground.
But the fertility is prodigious. The
ground is so rich and moist that the
farmers just toss the seed out on the IN
plowed lands and prodigal nature does
the rest. Our Puyallup and White river
valleys are more productive than any
other part of the Pacific coast, not except
ing the famed Santa Clara valley OF
California. So say the experts, but it
will take development to prove its truth.
Fruits and vegetables are all of gigan-
tic size, a common feature to all these
Pacific coast products, but whether it is
not quantity at the expense of quality
is an open question. A head of lettuce
will fill a bucket, but it is heavy and
soggy. The same is true of the celery
big, but wet and stringy. not crisp. like
the eastern article. Potatoes and cab
bage-in fact, all garden growths-have
the same weakness. taste for them
has to be laboriously cultivated by an
eastern man. Much the same is true of
the fruits and berries, though not to
such degree.
The recent death of our beloved Ange-
line leaves the white man in sole and
undisputed possession of the vast Cas-
cade empire. Angeline was a princess
of the Indian blood, daughter of Seat
tie, last chief of the peaceful Duwamish
tribe. He welcomed the pioneers, and
they gave his name to fame. Angelina
could not tell how old she was-a tot
tering old child of nature, almost sight
less and clad in little more than a wrin-
killed. parchment skin. But the princess
never had a want unsatisfied. By law
made years ago she had but to pick out
anything she cared for, and the bill
went to the city fathers.
Once a year we have brief redskin
revival, in October. when few canoe
loads of the Pacific tribes paddle all the
way down from Alaska to pick the Pu-
gallup hop crop, their vested privilege.
They draw their wages when the sea-
son enils, live very fast modern life
for few days and then paddle home
dead broke. S. P. BUTLER.
