The State of Washington

Is known as the Evergreen State because
of its vast forests. Outside of the limited
areas of BIG TREES in California. there are
no such forests of pine, fir, hemlock, spruce,
cedar. etc.. as are found here. The trees
ars long and straight, and the massive tim
beers and fine shingles made from them are
shipped all over the world.
Washington Fruit is product of great
value. Its flavor and color are unsurpassed
East of the Cascade mountains the climate
is dry and warm. and irrigation is neces-
sary. This makes the farmer INDEPENDENT
of rain West of the mountains irrigation
is unnecessary and the rainfall is ample for
all purposes. Canneries and fruit drying
establishments can be operated profitably
in this state. Grain, hops and alfalfa are
very profitable crops, and beet sugar is
rapidly making Roadway.
Washington is a coming empire. Brains
are in demand in all professions, and labor
is wanted and is paid remunerative prices
Fuel. coal as well as wood, is abundant and
cheap. Schools and churches abound, the
