will be beautiful clear lake in
summer, surrounded by gravel walks

Improvements are being made every
day. The railroad will soon be
ready; 200 men are at work near
here laying ties and rails, and in
Stockholm buildings are going up.
We will soon have good town.

Farmers Elevator Burned.

The old Farmers elevator, which
for years has been conspicuous
figure near the depot, was destroyed
by fire last night. The fire was
discovered shortly after twelve
o'clock by George G. Johnson who
turned in the alarm. The fire de-
partment was soon on the scene and
had two streams of water from the
hydrant at Holm's corner, playing
on the fire, but the wooden struc-
ture burned like kindling and could
not be saved. The building was
empty and belonged to F. W. Carl
ton at Lower Snake, and had been
leased to D. r. Whitaker for this
season. There was small insur-
ance on the building. How the fire
originated is a mystery.

The Red Lake County Fair, held

one OF the most successful of the

bles, grains and different varieties
OF apples grown in the county.
The Ladies hall was also well filed
with needle and fancy work in
countless variety, paintings and or
namental work, culinary products,
ETC., etc. Many fine and fast racing
horses, from different parts of the
state, pleased the people with the
races, both trotting, pacing and
running, although the track was
heavy good time was made. The
balloon with parachute jump, the
high dive and trapeze performance
satisfied the curious. Eastern Mar

in all exhibits. The speech of Sen

applause. The association manage
ment deserve great credit for the

North Yakima, Wash.
Written by w. Il. Ingalls.]

July 15:-According to my prom
ise when I last wrote you, I will
now write a few lines about this
country as look at it today.
This valley is very nice and crops
look fine. We found our son and
family all well. .-.
The hay crop is immense. They
hay here from June to October.
Some have cut one crop OF alfalfa
and it is up again, some of it as high
as my waist, will be fit to cut in a
week. That land will cut four crops
this season; timothy cuts two crops
each year; corn is all sizes, from 6
inches to 5 feet high, as they plant
most any time they want to. Straw
berries were all gone when we got
here, but raspberries are in full
blast; blackberries are just begin
ming to turn. One of my sons
neighbors sold his crop OF cherries,
since came here, for 500 per tree;
one sold what strawberries grew on
one acre for $1,000; my son sold his
hay in the field, cured, for SO per
ton. Apple trees are so loaded with
fruit that the limbs touch the
ground, so are pear and peach trees.
We went fishing for mountain trout
and caught two, while the rest of
our party caught many. There are
men here who make it a business
hauling hay to town. It is three
miles from here. Hay is all baled
and a man hauls, with four horses
and two wagons, six tons each trip.
All crops have to be irrigated.
Roads are very dusty. The soil is
very light color; one would hardly
think it would grow white beans,
but it is very productive.
North Yakima has about 5000 peo-
pie, Spokane over 10000, so they
tell US. 49, ~
We passed through six tunnels
coming so far. We went to Port
land last week. The whole train
was loaded on a boat at once, nine
cars and two engines.
The country is rough all the way.
We passed through five more tun-
nels to get there. We found sis
ter-in-law in Portland whom we had
not seen in 45 years. We were
there three days, then went to Ia
coma and Seattle, then to Ballard to
visit with a nephew and niece that
we had not seen for over rs years.
We always called for fresh salmon
whenever asked what we would
have for breakfast, dinner or sup
per, and we got it, too. twas good.
We are now feasting on honey at
our sons, as he keeps bees and hon.
ey is as free as water. BY the way,
I do not like the water here, as all
use the water that is used for irri-
eating. tits warm when it gets here
and not fit to drink. I never saw
so many saw mills as there are on
the coast. Every town has lots of
them and there are lots of them
where there is no town.
While at Seattle we took a boat
and went over to Bremerton toyisit
the government works and see those
large boats. There was only one
large boat in port when we were
there, the Philadelphia. The gov
ernment is making it over into a
transport The dry dock there is
an immense thing. It took our
boat one and one-half hours to go
over there from Seattle. Land sells
from $3.50 to $1,000 per acre, accord
ing to the buildings and the or
chard on it, and one can hardly buy
a $1,000 farm as the men who own
them have a snap with their fruit.

Why Not Marshall County, Too:

r
In a number Of counties of the
state, special exhibits of grains and
grasses are being arranged to be
shown at the St. Louis Worlds Fair
next year. The plan is for a COM
mittee of two or three of the bust
ness men at the county seats to re-
ceive all specimens offered. These
when collected by the committee
will be turned over to an agent of
the State Board OF Managers, Messrs:
Conde Hamlin, St. Paul, J. M. I'm
derwood, Lake City and Theo. T.
Hayes, Minneapolis, who will have
them properly grouped, arranged
and displayed where they will equal
in excellence the samples from other
counties. Not only will the county
but the farm from which the samples
are gathered, be given due credit.
# this is good thing for other coun-
ties it is for this one, and with pro-
per care in the selection Of samples
no county can excel ours. All
grains and grasses should be secur-
ed before quite ripe, and should be
cured in dark room. Only enough
of each kind is needed to makea dis.
play bunch the size Of a mans two

desired. Three ears Of a kind IS
