FAIR ADAMS COUNTY.

Adams county has been attracting
'nsiderable attention the past year
the large crops OF wheat raised
I'd the great amount of business
me within her borders, which has
used q rush OF immigration from all
trts OF the country to this, what
AS formerly. considered an almos
orthless portion of the state of
Fashington. Until the last few
ears this county has bten used al
lost entirely for cattle raising and
ntil the last two years farming here
as been practically an experiment.
nc people believing that fall sown
heat could not be got that would
and the hard winters, but low it
as been Thoroughly tested and that
I'll sown wheat will not only stand
he winters but it is much more
ardy'and. surer crop and every bit
# land that is capable of being farm
d is being taken up and put under
Utilization, making this one of the
'est counties in the state. Nothing
oes to show this any more than the
ondition Of the business in the towns
throughout the county and especially
iere in Ritzville, and the condition of
The farmers themselves. Within the
past two years business has increased
over two-hundred per cent, and every
thing is on the increase still.
The town OF Ritzville has increased
in size and population almost a hun
lred per cent. The town Of Lind has
increased from little station of a few
small buildings to a fourishing little
Town OF bout hundred inhabitants
and is rapidly growing. The small
inferior class of farm buildings have
given place to large fine dwellings and
general handsome farm buildin gs.
Some idea OF the amount of business
done in the county can be had from
the fact that adams county alone
pays out almost half a million dollars
to the Northern Pacific annually for
freight.
The murmurings OF discomfort and
the cry of hard times is no moro heard
within our borders, but has been sup
erseeded by looks of content and plen-
4y. The farmers no more have to run
large store bills and pay high rates OF
interest but instead have the money
to pay for what they get and a num-
Der of them are now loaning money.
Two years ago half OF the buildings in
town were w cant and people were all
DESTROYS OF selling and getting out,
but now there is not an empty build
ing to be had large number are in
course of construction and more
waiting to get carpenters to build
them. Instead OF people wanting to
sell, there is big demand for proper
ty throughout the county and those
who were SO ready to sell are now buy
ing more.

In the issue of Sept. h. asked. not of any one in particular. but of the general public, how long the Custom House scandals were going to exist ill this place. Right hefe l might repeat the question. Being from child, of an ,uiul,itiye turn of mind, q remem Der. when about six years old. sitting tine leather of a pair of bellows to see where the wind came from. l like to enquire into the causes and effects of events and not rush head!Ong into print on mere heresay. Following this habit have iefrete1 out one or two strange facts i'll relation to the above named scandals.
 In my last writing made no accusa- tjon of thett against any one simply be. cause nothing WAS stolen, but rebuked certain parties for the littleness of their otfense. Since that writing 1 learned that two of the Customs employees, who were discharged, demanded an in yestiEatiou of the charge made against them and this the Acting Collector pos itiyely refused. This demand bears on the face of 1t proof of innocence. No one committing crime. however small, Nt'hS dil tll'IAli9 IItO HiS COuuuCt. NOW the question arises-if these em ployees are guilty why not prove it by thor Ough investigation If they are innO- cent. why were they discharged Aye. there's the rub. The real truth of the matter iS that, in my way of thinking. the accused parties are too upright and honest to be retained in the service so they had to git lest they might know too much and tell it abroad
 One more question, when was the ue% customs law passed authorizing the chief officer to collect twenty five cents on each trunk passing over the Government wharf, and to what ac- count is the collection passed; that is to say what becomes of the money thus eXtorted? It seems to me that the public has a right to ask for re- ply to these queries.

NAVAL NOMENCLATURE.

An expert has called attention to the popular mistakes in naval nomenclature. AS our navy is now the object of world wide admiration and the subject of dis cussion in all manner of company. it is well to be set right on certain technical terms descriptive of it's militant opera tions.
 When we speak of fleet the experts understand us to mean a company of twelve or more battle-ships A mosGuito fleet Is composed of twelve or more small boats. A squadron Is composed of less than twelve battle-ships, and is often part of fleet, such as the van, center or rear squadron. A hotilla is composed of twelve or more men-of-war, some of which may be battle-ships.
 According to these definitions the Unit ed States have no fleet; neither has Spain. Admiral Dewey commands a squadron. The ships destroyed and cap tured from Montejo In Manila Bay com posed squadron Admiral Sampson commands a f1otilla. Admiral Cervera commanded and Admiral Camara com mands 8 squadron.
 Not until we expend a great deal more money for battle-ships than is now being put into that character of craft can we properly claim to have a fleet under the most formidable concentration we could make of our navy. In a few years, how ever, we will have enough battle-ships of the first class to compose a feet.-St. Louis Republic.
