KENNEWICK
The California of the
Northwest.

You are going west, and the ques-
finn is. Where to stop" Let us give
Won a few reasons why kennewick,
Washington, under the new irrigation
system of the Northern Pacific lrri,
CATION Company affords the best op-
nortunities for family seeking a new
home or capitalist seeking an in
vestment.
FIRST.-kennewick lies in the cen
ter of district comprising 14,0O0
acres of land, now being put under the
most modern and complete system of
irrigation that is possible by the com
bination of experience and capital.
SECOND.-Its location gives it un-
surpassed markets for its products, be-
ing midway between Spokane and Sc
attic on the line of the Northern Pa.
cifc Railway.
are ldl
cheaper than any similar lands can ne
bought, for the reason that the Irri-
cation Company is closely allied with
the Northern Pacific Railway, and has
had in view the upbuilding of a pros
porous community on its line, and has
therefore given the public the benefit
of any possible saving in cost.
FOURTH-The climate is ideal.
While only 365 feet above sea level, on
the beautiful Columbia River, its prCx.
unity to the snow clad Cascade
mountains makes it land of sunshine.
with air pure and healthful, where
malaria and kindred diseases are prac-
tically unknown, while those suffering
from any bronchial or rheumatic af-
lection find here instant and perman-
ent relief
FIFTH.-The low altitude makes
the winters very mild and gives the
earliest growing season known in the
entire Northwest, enabling the farm
er thereby to deliver his products into
the markets in advance of all other
parts of the Northwest. 1t is unneces-
sary to state the advantages obtained
by the first delivery of berries.
peaches, grapes, melons and all classes
of fruits, the prices realized making
the adage THE early bird catches the
worm" only too true in this case.
SYXTH.-While many farms in this
country are successfully raising crops
of grain, fruit and vegetables without
irrigation, on lands costing only five
to twelve dollars per acre that are
better and more prolific producers
than most eastern farms, still the ma
ture of the soil and climate is such
that with irrigation (artificial water
ing) the yield is increased both in size
and marked value at least Ave fold.
1t is impossible, in this small space,
to tell you of the many wonderful ad-
vantages accruing to the early settler
in the Kennewick country. A per-
sonal investigation will more than re-
pay you.
Bear in mind that similar land in
Older irrigated districts is now selling
at from three to ten times the prices
now asked here. AS this district has
more favorable conditions than any
Of them. lands here, in very short
time, will unquestionably increase
very rapidly in price. and it will pay
you not to delay your coming.
Any further information will be
cheerfnlly furnished on application.

manly in him to tell the publisher,

ELECT OFFICERS
Annual Meeting of the
Aberdeen Chamber
of Commerce.

The annual meeting of the chamber oil
commerce. Tuesday evening, had the
largest attendance OF any meeting for
some time, about 80 members being pres.
ent. Considerable enthusiasm prevailed
over the outlook for Aberdeen during the
coming year, and the work OF the cham
Der since its organization.
A letter was read from w. G. Wing, of
Neenah, Wisconsin, stating that he rep
resented large paper manufacturing
concern, and had seen press statements
regarding the proposed mill at Aberdeen,
and requested complete information as
to the advantages offered here for the
paper manufacturing business. The
secretary was directed to supply the re-
quired information.
]. G. Hogan reported that the people
of Cosmopolis had not yet had the peti.
ton to their town council, asking for an
election to determine the annexation to
Aberdeen, signed up; that many who
favored the scheme were afraid to sign,
but it was believed sufficient number of
signers would be obtained, and said his
committee believed Aberdeen should de-
fer action until the initiatory steps had
been taken by Cosmopolis. The report
was adopted.
H. D. Crawford reported for the river
and harbor committee. that the report OF
the engineers, recommending the COM
petion of the south jetty, and an appro-
priation for preliminary work on jettv
OIL the north side, went farther than the
resolution of the chamber, and the com.
mittee was directed to prepare a resolu.
ton endorsing the report of the
engineers.

The president was authorized to pro-

believed that at least so applications
will be acted upon at the next meeting.

A RISE IN SILVER
PORTLAND OREGONlAN'S ERRO.
NEOUS VIEWS ON SILVER
Exposed by Bryan's Commoner. A Few Of
the Leading Commercial Nations Could
Easily Maintain Its Parity With Gold II
so Disposed.

The Portland Oregonian has the fol
lowing to say in re gard to a probable rise
in silver:
But the operation of natural laws
alone will bringe about the rise. Silver
cannot profitably be produced as cheaE
by.product. The low price destroyed
silver mining as such in almost every
country in the world except Mexico
There is always a certain demand for sill
yer in the arts as well as for subsidiary
coinage. The continued shortage Of the
supply will sooner or later be felt and
when the demand comes within sight oil
the supply mere men and governments
may arbitrarily say it shall go no higher,
but natures law will have it's way and
the price will 60 up just the same.
Commenting on which the Commoner
s,ys:
The trouble with the Oregonian is that
it apparently fails to comprehend the
fact that demand created by legislation
has the same effect upon the price Of
silver as demand arising from any other
source. The demand for silver to he
used in Philippine coinage was a demand
created by the government. If demand
for limited amount of silver would raise
the price few cents, would not the free
coinage Of silver have far greater effect !?
In buying for Philippine coinage the
government went into the market and
bid for silver with other competitors, but
under free coinage the government offers
to coin into legal tender money all the
silver brought to the mint. Why would
any one sell silver for less than $l.29 SO
long as the government will coin it into
money at that price? The fact that
Mexico has not been able to maintain
the parity is not conclusive argument
against free coinage in this country, be.
cause the United States is far greater in
population and in commercial strength.
The international bimetallist recognizes
that the United States could do some
thing, but insists that the assistance of
other nations would be required to main
tain the parity. The advocate of the
gold standard, on the other hand, seems
blind to the effect that the government
demand has upon the price Of the precious
metal, and some gold standard advocates
90 SO far as to say that all the nations in
the world could not, by restoring BIZ
metallism. increase the price OF silver or
by demonetizing gold decrease the price
Of that metal. The absurdity OF such a
statement ought to be recognized by any
one who considers the matter at all, hut
it is no more absurd than some OF the
other positions taken by the advocates
of the gold standard.
