We Want Farm Produce
Many women throughout the country


Many women throughout the country
make pin money out of their chickens /.
We have known of women who have
clothed the entire family with the pro-
ceeds of the poultry yard, and some
have paid off mortgages and others
bought their homes by intelligent
management of their focks. Every
body interested in chickens should get
Bicycle Poultry Book. 1t is so full of
helpful suggestions and short cuts to
success. and has so many years of
costly experience boiled down for its
pages that it is poor economy to be
without it. 1t will help increase the
income from the poultry yard, and
has started many an amateur or mis-
guided professional on the right track.
The price is so cents, free by mail; ad-
dress the publishers, Wilmer Atkinson

Special Agent Alfred Gaskill of the
government forestry division is at the
Hotel Tacoma. He came in yesterday
with ten Of his forestry students from
their Olympic camps near Matlock
and Shelton. They have been some
time working about the camps Of the
Simpson Logging company. The re-
mainder of the forestry party, six IN
number, under the instruction OF spe-
cial agent I. III. Sherrard, have been
up on the Nisqually in the virgin tim
Der. They will come in today. E. T.
Allen, formerly of The Ledger, iss.s. one
of the latter party.
"Mr. Sherrard, whose homo is at
Morristown, N. j." said Mr.. G'skill,
"and Messrs. Allen of this city, K. I.
Fisher of Boston and w. C. Hodge OF
Buffalo, N. Y, are now going to the
California red woods for couple of
months. Their study there is at the
request of the California Redwood
Lumbermen's association. They may
be there even three months. A lively
interest is being taken in this work by
the California lumbermen.
II believe I saw the biggest Wash
ington fir tree you have got out here.
1t was over thirty mine feet in clrcum-
ference. This was on the Satsop river.
1--WE have been studying the young
growths and burns around Matlock.
There is plenty of young growth
wherever the fire has stayed out for a
few years. You certainly have some
'slashing' good timber in this Puget
Sound region. 1 would not like to
venture a haphazard guess; but I
should not wonder if it is possible to
cut $4,000 feet to the acre.
"The logging camps of the Simpson
company are not cutting at higher
altitude than 900 feet, I should judge,
but there is good timber all the way
up to an altitude of 1900 feet. The
timber is better above where the log
ging camps are cutting. 1t does not
get high enough to become 'scrubby.'
The fine higher timber will come later
on. OF course, we made quite num-
Der of measurements, but it will take
some time to make GU: our reports"
Mr.. Gaskill says he feels much bet
ter for his experience in the Washing
ton woods. and has gained several
pounds in weight. He has been here
since June II. The forestry students
have been out since July 10.-Ledger.

OBITUARY.

Died, at the home of her parents
in the south part of this city on
Monday evening, August II, 1889
Mary Willis. daughter of Richard
and Elizabeth Willis. aged sixteen
years, ten months and two days.
Mary was i'll only about a week
and although the best of medical
skill did all that was possible, yet
the work and efforts were ia vain.
Mary Willis was good girl-a
regular good Samaritan. When she
was needed in the sick room, there
she was found. When somebody in
the neighborhood needed help or
CHEEKY words Mary was always
ready. She was the pet of the com.
munity in which she lived and her
death is most keenly felt by all who
knew her.
Funeral services were held on
Tuesday afternoon and the remains
were inferred in the Baxter Gem
etery.
