The Coming Harvest Our Greatest in Six

rhe Coming Harvest Our Greatest in Six
Our grain harvest just commencing
in the western portion of the county,
without doubt, will see the greatest
amount Of wheat garnered in the coun-
ty since the harvest season of 1891
when both lines of railway were COM
pletelv choked for period of SIX
months. Reports from all parts of the
county tell the same story of magni-
ficient prospective yields. This has
been an unusal growing season, and
it has served to accentuate the differ
ence between the various portions OF
the county. Our early cold weather.
followed by long rainy winter AMI
late spring, put lighter lands OF the
west, southwest and northwest por-
tons OF the county in ideal condition
for the growth of grain. Both fall and
spring sown wheat could not we'll look
better. With the heavier lands to the
north, northeast, east and southeast,
the winter rains seem to have run the
ground together, so that fall sown
grain started its growth late. 1t is now
all looking well. The wetness of the
soil delayed spring sowing, but wheat
put in April 30 throughout these por'
tions of the county are looking splen-
didly. The very late spring sown grain
only is uncertain as to yield and quail
ity.

tons of the county farmers have start
ed their binders.-COlfax Courier.

PIERCE COUNTY FAIR.

ness This Year.

Designed to Be of Exceptional Attractive
ness This Year.
AS the time approaches for the an
nual fair of the Pierce County Agricul
tural Association in Tacoma, Septem
Der 5-11, inclusive, much interest is fell
in the matter. AS this will be the only
county fair in Western Washington
it has been determined to make il an
occasion of general public interest, as
well as an object lesson to visitors from
abroad, by the exhibition of the evi
dence of our vast resources of forest
mountain, sea and soil-the develop
ments of a sparsely settled infant com.
munity. It is the ambition of the
management that the 1897 fair shall
excel any previous exhibition held in
the state, and this can be done if the
people of the county and vicinity go to
work at once in earnest to make it a
success. A little work by each farmer,
fruit grower, poultryman, dairyman,
florist, manufacturer, and in fact, by
every man and woman who can help
to illustrate the glOrles and riches of
this region, will accomplish great re-
suits.
The board of directors and officers
are as follows: G. w. Chamberlain,
president; Frank Alling, vice-presldent;
o. F. Cosper, secretary; H. Knatvold,
treasurer; e l.. Heriff, Robert Had
dow, Frank b. Cole, F. j. Cheal,
directors.
The superintendent of the various
departments as far as elected are:
Borses-Thomas Higgins; livestock,
Guy Mel. Richards; poultry, Robert
Donald; fIuit, Frank Alling; minerals,
E. P. Ferry, T. g. Van Eaton; machin-
cry and manufactures, j. r. Turner:
lumber, Frank b. Cole.
Woman's OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, etc.,
Mrs. G. Harvey Wright; Tacoma
mandatory goods, Mrs. Julia M.
Slaughter; Indian curios, Mrs. James
Wickersham.
There is also an advisory committee
made up of practical men.
The program and premium lists show
great care in preparation. All the pop
ular features of last year have been
retained and new ones added. The
effort has been to bring business con-
ditions into the management, giving
each department its proper proportion
to the entire exhibition and equa!iza-
ing the various features with due
economy in order to render the fair
pecuniarily successful.
rhe experience of last year deter
mined the popularity OF the Pierce
county fair; great interest was taken
in it by the city and county. This
year it will do better if the citizens
second the efforts of the management
by helping it along, making early en-
tres, and donating little time to talk
ing the fair up among their neighbors.
1t is all enterprise that concerns the
entire community and cannot fail to
be pleasant and profitable as a means
of developing production, social inter
course and business relations.

Work in Grain Fields.

Hundredsof men are passing through
the city OH their way to the wheat
country, where work is plentiful and
wages good. Farmers are in the city
in large numbers looking for men to
RIM binders and mowers. Further up
the country as high So and board is
being paid and men are scarce at that;
In speaking about the abundance Of
grain and hay this year, and the
scarcity of men to store it away, g
prominent farmer Of Walla Walla

The dry regions of the east, where
less than twenty inches fall in a year

The population has multiplied most
rapidly with a rainfall of twenty to
thirty inches. in the great plains ex-
tending from Texas to Dakota, where
the density has increased 16 to 1871 per

These figures show that, as might
naturally be expected, in the variety

Very little is obtainable at those figures.

The results of the last census have
shown that the distribution of the pop
ulation in the United States is regu-
lated by the abundance or scarcity OF
rain. The largest part of the popuia-
ton is distributed in those regions
where the annual rainfall varies from
thirty to forty inches. These comprise
three-fourths of the people.
The density of population diminishes
rapidly where the amount of rainfall
differs considerably in either direction

as of mean value.
