THE TOPOGRAPHY.

The topography of Kittitas count!
differs from that OF almost any other
county in the state. Lying as 1t does
between the Columbia river on east
and the Cascade range OF mountains
on the west, it contains low Valleys
elevated table lands, narrow canyons
down which course mountain streams
alive with trout: some ''scab" lana, III
only for grazing, agricultural lah"s'
where the finest of hay, grain and frult
are grown: mountains within whose
bowels arc found coal, iron, ana precl-
Gus metals in abundance; rolling
prairies of waving grass, upon which
herds of cattle, horses ana sheeP arc
grazing: and mountains covered VIII"
dense growth of fir, pine and cedar
timber. The northern and wester"

was practically the wilderness of Wash
ington Territory. having not a single
mile of railroad within its borders and
no immediate prospects OF any. All
supplies from the outside world were
frelghted from The Dalles. Oregon, in
wagons. and there was nothing grown
within its borders that it would pay to
ship. Cattle We're raised in abundance,
but they were driven to market over
the mountain trails some times being
weeks en- route. The few inhabitants
however. had faith in the country, and
industriously improved their farms,
built huts and barnes. brought in small
irrigation bitches and prepared for the
good times they knew would come if
they only had the patience to stay with
it.
1t was not until the spring of 1856
that the Cascade branch of the North
ern Pacific railroad reached kittitas
county. and it is only from that time
that we can date her growth. With
the railroad came the merchant, the
doctor, the lawyer, the Spectator, the
sport. the prospector, the townsite
boomer. and last but more important
than all. the hundreds of laborers who
earned their wages by hard knocks and
amid privations of every kind, but

The city of Ellensburg, which at the
organization of the county contained
less than l75 people, sudden assumed
the airs of a railroad town, with Its
ores, saloons. gambling resorts, dance
halls, and a population of 1000 souls.
Strangers were attracted to our
beautiful valley, the old freighters'
trail to the The Dalles was Abandoned
and Kittitas county at once TOOK rank
as very important part OF the bright
group of counties which made up the
territory of Washington.

Examination.

when Captain Bent entered the gallery
room with his prisoner he found Cromwell
seated at the table, his head bowed over
some pages Of manuscript on which he was
busity- writing. The general did not look
up for a full minute. until he had finished
the sentence he was indting, then he raised
his head and said quietly to the captain:
Go"
For one brief and lamentable instant the
discipline which held the captain in its
bonds relaxed. and he replied I'm surprise:
And leave him unguarded. sir?'
Cromwell said nothing. but look of such

gray eyes that the captain staggered as IL

Cromwell moved the further candle to
a place beside it's fellow, then stood again
on the spot his prisoner would occupy.

gallery. The general walked to the end Of
the room. threw open the door and re-
turned to his seat in the tall chair with the
carved back.
