Hop picking will commence some
time between the 9Th and 10th of Sep
TENDER, and the Hop Growers Associa-
ton have issued call for more pickers
in Yakima county. Good wages can be
made at this work by men, women and
children.
The oat harvest in western and the
wheat harvest in eastern Washington
has fairly begun, and harvest hands are
commanding good wages.
In Seattle and Tacoma the demand
for workers in the various mills and
factories continues good; and wages
fair.
If the demand for help in the lumber
industries is any indication there has
been quite a revival in the various
branches of that business. The 1st of
November generally sees a shutdown
for the winter in most camps of the
Sound country.
This is wonderfully productive
State. a few acres will furnish all the
living for an average family with
comparatively small amount of labor.
Land is cheap and there are splendid
chances for people with limited capt.
tai who are willing to work.
With the tide of immigration setting
this way, as it appears to be, various
business and manufacturing enter
prises will give very fair returns for
capital invested. The days of the boom
are over, and steady growth has set
in which promises much.
With the advanced ideas regarding
political reforms which our people
have, the outlook for Washington is eX-
ceedingly bright. Come, reformers,
and help on the good work.

y railroad has been surveyed past
Harmony, crossing the river six miles
below at which point it Is expected
there will be a station.
Atpresent the nearest station is
Napavine, "a miles away; the trading
point is Chehalis, 30 miles distant.
While wheat, oats and hay do well,
the haul is so long that hops, poul-
try and live stock are the chief in
come of the farmer.
Dairying would do well, but it will
require considerable capital, in cows,
creamery, etc. The people at Har-
mony are ready to put in $500 each, If
the incoming members will do the
same, The larger the fee the larger
will be the capital, and so the income
of the colony, and the higher the
standard of living.
The site is at quite a distance from
the railroad, but with a good sized
colony, two or three hundred people,
good store, daily mail. good
schools, church, doctor and other
adjuncts of civilization, living will be
much above that of the single pho.

A Proposed Colony.

Last week Master Workman Swi-
CART spent several days looking over
the site of the proposed colony of
Harmony, a point on the Cowlitz
river in Lewis county, 30 miles south
and - miles east of Olympia
a temporary organization was eff
fected by the election of 5. NJ. Dunn
as president and a. T. Mcdonald as
secretary.
They wish at once four farmers and
blacksmith, each candidate to have
fee of sl60 These fees are to be
wholly invested in stock and other
productive enterprises, and members
joining should be able to sustain
themselves till next spring,
The location land and prospects
are about as follows;
Twenty-Five acres of land are under
pillow.
Forty-6ve acres additional are in
pasture and can easily be gotten UNI
der plow by spring
Twenty acres of pasture will need
to remain in pasture for couple of
years yet till the stumps are rotted.
Twenty acres are IN timber.
For these 10 acres the present own
ers ask 800 cash, to pay off a mort
gage, and three memberships.
Several hundred acres additional
are available on very similar terms,
adjoining and in the immediate vi
entity.

more space north of the equator than

Imagine that, for the illustration,
you have drawn the circles and con-
tinental outlines on a ball. and through
its center have passed an axis with pro-
truding ends so that you can easily turn
1t with the right hand, while a half
cocoanut shell, by which you are repre-
senting night or darkness, remains in
one position in your left. Now as you
roll the axis your ball will turn, as the
earth does, in the direction of its par

north of the circle then, two days are
merged into one, so that the day lacks
but few minutes of being forty-eight
hours long, A glance southwark shows
that. on June y, Rio Janeiro's day Is
short and that of Cape Horn still shorter

arctic Circle is in darkness-a night of
almost forty-eight hours over the whole
space, corresponding to the day of near
ly forty-eight hours in the north.

B. 6. G. STEAMBOAT.
GLE you only had a steamboat"
We have heard that remark a

We have heard that remark a
thousand times at head
quarters during the last six months;
we have hearu it so often and
from so many persons and sources
that we have concluded that we MUST
have that steamboat.
Reason No. /. The freight trans
portation for the B c G and the colo
nists has cost us directly and indi-
rectly hundreds of dollars, and nearly
every frac ton of that amount has
been lost to our treasury. Had we
owned boat hundreds of dollars
would have been saved and earned
and added to our exchequer.
Reason ,. The business of trans
portation on upper Puget sound is
one of the most lucrative of all the
local industries. Tons and thousands
of tons of oats and hay and other pro-
duce are to be transported this fall
and winter from point to point along
this coast, and the competition in this
graln-carrying trade seems to be ex-
ceedingly slight. Why should not the
B c c get large share of this re-
munerative business?
Reason g. We are offered for head
quarters of the B G C at Anacortes-
the shipping and grain-freighting
seaport and center of this section
the use of two commodious build
ings lone for the offices of the ma
tional board of the B G. c, and the
other for INDUSTRIAL FREEDOM and
three-year lease (free) of 300 feet
of fine water front. The facilities
offered to US are extremely valuable
and advantageous for our headquar-
tiers, and our use of them would mean
a largely decreased expense for the
B c c, and a largely increased accom-
mediation; but we cannot avail our
selves of the water front with ad-
vantage until we have THAT BOAT.
Reason 4. Think of the effective
propaganda that B G G steamboat,
bearing the banner of Industrial
Freedom, and plying up and down,
and in and out, and all over the
waters of this magnificent Puget
Sound, must of necessity accomplish
What a splendid adjunct to the mis-
sion wagon on land would be the mis-
sion boat upon the sea.
With $500 in the steamboat fund
the B c c could complete arrange
ments for the purchase or building of
a suitable boat. Already we have on
our list of b c c members a number of
persons capable of constructing and
running our boat-ship carpenters.
marine engineers, machinists, pilots,
etc All we now need is the money.
If the members of the Brotherhood
want that boat surely there should be
no delay or difficulty about getting it
as soon as the association quickens to
a knowledge of its needs. If every
member of the B c c subscribes 80
cents or more to this fund we shall
easily have sufficient sum to permit
us to procure our steamboat at once.
Do We Want Boata
Send US your subscription and your
suggestions.
The local union or the individual
member that does most to procure for
US the necessary amount to purchase
our steamboat shall have the privi-
lege of naming this B c c vessel of
Socialism.
