in a live young city such as ours. We
have a perfect climate, dry air, tonic
| summer days with invariably cool
nights. The winters are mild and
short.
Adams county, beautiful, undulat-
ing bunch grass prairie country, lies
very nearly the center OF the great
wheat. belt of Eastern Washington
and embraces 81 townships. For rich
ness of soil and the production OF
crops, it is unsurpassed by any section
in the northwest. The average wheat
yield is yariously estimated from 20 to
30 bushels per acre, and its excellent
quality is attested by the fact that
large milling companies are securing
warehouses at all the shipping points
in the county with view of getting
their supply of grain as largely as
possible from this section. The har-
vest season is usually very dry and the
immense crop is always harvested
without loss by the elements.
The county is as yet only about one
half in cultivation, and unimproved
land sells very cheap and on easy
terms. There are many fine home
steads yet free to settlers who are not
DESTROYS OF securing larger tract of
land
Various kinds OF fruits can be
grown profitably, and on drive
through the older settled portions OF
the country one sees great many
nice bearing orchards. There is no
section OF the state where farming has
proven more profitable. The soil
works easily and the cost OF producing
crops is very lew. Irrigation is not
necessary.
Investors seeking Il fresh field where
moderate sums will yield heavy re-
wards, and families searching for new
homes should visit Ritzville, Adams
county, in the Evergreen state of
Washington, where there are oppor-
tunities to engage in lucrative bust
ness and diversified farming. Come
where you will be welcome among a
good class of people, where, if you are
energetic and Industrious you can at
least soon make home.

Young men may learn Il lesson of
value from the advancing tendency
among railway and other great cor
porations to insist upon sob iety
among employees. A sweeping order
along this line, and covering another
equally important condition; has been
issued by the superintendent OF the
Dubuque division OF the Chicago
Great Western Railway company. 1t
prohibits employees using intoxicating
liquors in any form, OF at any time.
1t applies to trainmen, station agents,
foreman aud Others who hold respon-
sible positions with the company, 1t
prohibits them from entering saloons
Oh using liquor, whether on or off
duty, and the penalty for any Violate n
of this law is immediate discharge OF
the offender. The order also commands
all employees to pay their honest debts
and any failure to do so will cause inn
mediate discharge, unless a reasonable
excuse can be given. This is a some
what radical departure, it is along
the line OF present trend OF sentiment
among large employers OF labor. 1t
is becoming decidedly unpopular for
young man to be known as tippler,
and it is likely to be equally so to
acquire reputation as dead beat.
