DAMS County, a beautiful,
II productive, undulating prai-
kde rie 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 variously estimated from 20to
30 bushels per acre, ami 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 II 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 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 q
good class OF people, where, if you are
energetic and Industrious you can al
least soon make home.

have to take two or three days to de-
ciIe whether the woman has Il good

thinks she has.
