About Lincoln County. Washington,

EDITOR PLAIN DEALER;
DEAR SIR:-As many of your neighbors i'll
Howard and Winneshiek counties are aware of
our having made trip to the state of Washing
ton. they would no doubt like to know what We
think of the country after a personal, visit and
we know of no better means of letting them
know than through the prees.
We left st. Paul on January 18th, and arrived
at our destination in Washington on the 19th,
travelling over the Northern Pacific, which runs
through Dakota, Montana, idaho and Washing
ton.
The counties we passed through and
examined in Washington, Spokane, and Lin
coin consist of beautiful rolling prairie
land with black loan soil, the richest we have
seen anywhere. We have seen large crops OF
wheat in Iowa when 1t was q wheat growing
country, ALSO in Minnesota and Dakota but the
largest we ever saw there was but moderate In
comparison to the immense wheat crop we saw
in this part of Washington. There are aiso
raised abundant crops of barley, oats, rye, and
some flax.
The country is also specially adapted for fruit
raising and grapes, apples, cherries, prunes
peaches, nectarines. etc., grow abupdaptly. al
we'll as all kinds of vegetables. The climate Is
an excellent one. During the time we were
there, we were at no time required TO wear an
overcoat during the day. There was excellent
sleighing with about six OF eight inches of snow
On the ground. This sleighing, the people living
| there say, sometimes last as long as three or
four weeks; and as In Iowa, a coating of snow
for three or four weeks they consider beneficial.
The average temperature for the month of
January 1897. was IS degrees above zero, this
year the average temperature will be somewhat
| higher.
| 1T in our opinion, the best state in the
union for poor man to go to if he wishes to
make good home for himself and be indepen-
dent.
The prices of land run from 50 to $40 per acre
| for unEmproved lands, and from S. to sis and $40
per acre for improved lands with buildings, out.
| houses, etc.
| In word. what we saw there compels lis to
admit that MIR. O'Niel, of Cresco. does not over
estimate the advantages of the state of WASH
| ington. but rather underestimate them if any
thing.
We both intend returning to Washington
early this spring. n 81.
| Yours truly

Proposition for General strike IL
New England Not Favored.

Proposition for General strike In
New England Not Favored.
Boston, Feb. 16.-The proposition OF
the American Federation of Labor to
order q general strike in the textile
mills Of New England seems to meet
with a decidedly cool reception in the
manufacturing centers where at pres
emit there is no trouble. There are two
reasons put forward for this: First.
that the operatives do not see what they
are to gain by it, and, second, they have
pledged in the best of faith their
financial help to carry on the struggle
In New Bedford. In several cities Mon
day night the operatives of cotton mills
met to discuss the general strike
proposition. Only in New Bedford was
any sympathy shown for 1t.

TOPEKA LETTER.
Editor Graphic.

Editor Graphic.
Dear sir: In accordance with your
request I will attempt to write you a
short letter.
I left Kinsley on the eight o'clock
train, which was about one hour late,
on Wednesday morning, and enjoyed
a pleasant days ride. l arrived in
Topeka about p. N. and Immediately
went to the Capitol, where, after in
quiring.- found Samuel Williams.
The next morning Sam and l went
out to the Asylum. The superintend-
ent was out and | had to wait until in
the afternoon for him. After examin-
ing my rec emmen5ation papers and
sizing me up, the supervisor, Ocken-
boen, of the brick building took me in
tow and put ne under Hueim, first
man on ward E 2, as third man, or at
tendant. Our work here is very light
and so far have found it not very dis
agreeable, but l have not been here
long enough to Judge properly yet.
To be plain 1 would much rather have
different work, but 1 shall try and do
my duties properly and faithfully and
not bring discredit upon the irstitu-
ton and administra alton by negligence
or misconduct while here. And as
for the time, will stay as long as l
cannot do better elsewhere.
Our Insane Asylum is a great in
stitution and a credit to the great
state of Kansas. [ hope, when you
come to Topeka you will make a call
at the asylum. You will find our SUI
pervisor and Doctor. very fine gentle
men. 1 had the honor with the rest of
of our attendants, to attend an oyster
supper, given by NJ. D, Wellman,
which we much enjoyed. the last fea-
ture if not the least of which was a
toast by the Hon. w. L. Brown, Pres.
of the State Board of Charities.
One feature of life here is regular
dance, once Or twice a week, attend
ants with patients and v. V. with
thanksand best wishes. Yours truly.
FL. P. Alexander.
