LIFE In THE NORTHWEST.


Ii you have any idea of changing
your iocation-go into the northwest
where life is worth living.
1t is the coming empire of this eoun-
try. Climate and elevation are found
In great variety and will never be as
low price d again as 1t is now. For
farming, fruit raising and grazing no
portion OF our country equals it. Irri.
cation makes the farmer independent
where irrigation Is practiced and the
finest irrlgable part of our lands are in
Montana ami Washington. The towns
and cities are growing rapidly in the
Northwest.
Let me know what you want and
we will try and help you. There are
all sorts of places and kinds OF land
in the Northwestern states through
which the Northern Pacific runs. Don't
walt until it is too late to go. Low set
ers rates sre in effect during Septem
Der and October. Write to me wher
you want to go and will tell you VII at
costs.

THE EDITORS SONG.

How dear to my heart is the steady
subscriber,
Who pays in advance at the birth of
the year;
Who lays down his dollar, and offers
it gladly,
And casts round the office a halo of
cheeri
Who never says "Stop it, I cannot af-
ford it,"
Or, "I'm getting more papers than
read"
But always says, "Send it, the family
all like it
In fact, we think it a household
needi''
How welcome he is when he steps in
the Sanctumi
How he makes our hearts throb
How he makes our eyes dance,
We outwardly thank him-we inward
ly blesS him
The steady subscriber who pays in ad-
vance.
