Climate, Timber, School, Etc.

The climate of Custer county is very delightful-ight snowfall
in the valleys; short winters and most charming winters. At
Chalis, with an elevation of |, 400 feet, sleigh rides are we'll nigh
impossible. Creditable to our county is our plethoric school fund.
Each district has its school building and we'll paid teacher. AT
Chalis the high school studies are taught
Probably onefoarth of the mountainous territory of this county
is heavily timbered with spruce, fir and pine.
With large tracts of farming and grazing land uncultivated; with
a list of taxable property annually lengthening with giant strides;
with Increasing revenue and decreasing taxation; with railroad
building; with good schools and churches. and little crime; with
of luxurious vegetation; with an admirable climate
to health; with a fertile soil, rich in fruitful products:
and with a vast mineral wealth in gold. silver. copper, lead. iron
and the precious metals-Cuser county is blessed with natural
aud advantages that will prove its brief though Y gorous ex

Agriculture and Stock-Raising.

Agriculture ably supplements the mining industry in enriching
this county. The Salmon river. rising in the Sawtooth mountains
north of Wood river, enters on its south western border, and pur-
suing a zigzag course in a general north.easterly direction, receiv-
es the waters of ten large creeks besides the East Fork. These
streams, together with Lost river and its tributaries, flow through
thousand of acres of arabic land still uncultivated. Since the hand
of man is forced to supply what nature withholds, irrigation takes
tie place of rain; and the water that annually goes to waste would
make verdant fruitful valleys out of deserts, would convert the
the silence of desolation into the sounds from many homes. Agri-
culture, like all other industries of the county, is in its infancy,
The time is not distant when large irrigating canals will be taken
out OF Salmon river, which has an endless water supply, and many
thousands of acres of rich sagebrush land along the river will be
reclaimed. The farms of this county produce wonderful yields of
hay, oats. wheat, potatoes, etc. per acre, and large crops are
harvested each year.
Stock growing IS one of leading industries of the county, and
with the usually mild winters in the valleys and excellent summer
ranges, has become a very remunerative industry, and the county
each year derives its largest amount of revenues in the way of
taxes each year from the stock. growers.

jOrity in every community, should be
heartily ashamed Of the showing which
their county, through the action Of it's
tax officials, is making before the state.
1T really looks as though Whitman
were raising the cry Of Stop, thief!
against the railroads in order to cover
up its own attempts to defraud the
state and the other counties in the
matter of taxation
AS the railroad assessment in Whit
man county is the same as agreed
upon by the commissioners of this
county and by the state board of equal
ization-S792O per mile-the structures
of the Post-Intelligencer apply as we'll
to Walla Walla county as to Whitman.
In fact they apply to every county in
eastern Washington and all the people
east of the Cascades irrespective of
politics, are virtually branded as frauds
and swindlers by the Intelligent
Ger.
1t is evidently the purpose of the
mana cement of the Observation-Disclosures
to arouse Il feeling of prejudice and
resentment among the voters of the
west side counties against the epOple
of the east side on the question of tax
alton but it is doubtful whether the
effort will succeed. However, one GER
Washington vote more sOlidly than
ever for the democratic state and leg

m WAS \ GLORIOUS MEETING

The Turner-Judson rally at Armory
hall Saturday night Was the largest
and most successful meeting of the
campaign so far, and it is extremely
doubtful whether it's equal will be seen
in Walla Walla this year. 1t was a
non partisan gathering. In the au-
dience were as many republicans as
democrats and all joined heartily i'll
the applause that frequently greeted
some hit of the speakers. No refer
ence was made to national politics and
nobody seemed disappointed at the
omission The minds of all We're con-
centrated on the paramount issue i'll
this state, whether the people or the
corporations shall rule.
Senator Turner's speech was mas
terpiece of forceful logic and OF calm,
dispassionate, convincing eloquence
He held the closest attention of his
auditors and not a voter left during
the two-hours address. His common
dation of the manly, honest and cour-
ageous conduct of Governor Mcbride
was cheered to the echo by both re-
publicans and democrats, and the
speakers promise that if elected gov
ernor he would follow the example OF
his distinguished predecessor in urg-
ing the legislature to pass a railway
commission bill and if it failed to dis
charge it's duty he would denounce its
recreant members in every county OF
the state, was also greeted with en-
thusiastic applause.
Steven Judsons short speech pre-
ceding that of Judge Turner made a
en-strike with the audience. In spite
of his 20 years honest old Steve is as
full or fire as ever and he never opens
worth hearing. The people who know
Steve Judson feel certain that il
through any contingency he should
succeed to the goVernOrship, he would
make one of the best executives the
state has ever had
Even the political opponents of Tur-
ner and Judson admit that the rally
Saturday night was a magnificent sue
cess. and that it will be no easy mat
ter to overcome the impetus that i
mas given to the democratic campaign

BRANDS FARMERS AS SWINDLERS

The Seattle ost-Intelliegncer has
evidently abandoned all nope of carry
ing eastern Washington for the rail-
road ticket and it is now making open
war upon the eastern Washington
farmers for the alleged lodging of
their taxes. 1t is especially severe in
its CenSure of the farmers of Whit
man county. republicans as we'll as
democrats. In Sundays issue the
Post-Intelligencer says:
whitman county lacks, in this re-
spect. the slightest instinct of justice
and fair dealing. 1t is trying to swim
die the other counties in the state by
forcing them to pay a larger proper
tionate share of state taxation than
they should. and it is trying to swindle
the railroads. which it processes to be-
lieVe are not doing the fair thing.
whitman county on this showing is
a sef-confessed fraud. and it's decent
people, who are always in a large ma
