Spokane, Wash, March 13.-The
Inland Empire of the Pacific north
west comprises a territory as large
as the states Of New York and Penn
sy1vania combined and contains rich
mineral, marble and timber re-
sources and the most fertile fruit and
farm lands in America, all being
tributary to Spokane, the Imperial
City and commercial metropolis - a
city Of thrift and beautiful homes.
Nearly 100000 was spent during
1905 in and adjacent to Spokane in
physical improvements and better
nents, such as new buildings, public
improvements, power plants. electric
railways, bridges and new machinery,
all of a permanent character. More

Sugar Production.

ouSdT
Over 225 car loads Of refined sugar,
having a value Of over 100000, was
produced in Spokane county during
1903, at D. c. Corbin's sugar refinery

$4,000 tons Of sugar beets which were
used, were paid over 100000 for the
raw material, and a pay roll of over
five hundred men was kept employed

" As. to Climate.
The climate Of eastern Washington
is regarded as the most delightful in
the United States, where the four sea-
sons are marked. During the past
two years the coolest weather was
four degrees above zero, and the
warmest weather in summer but 81
degrees. It has been demonstrated
that the climate is an absolute specific

cept that more thorobred, stock was
imported than ever before.
Hogs are receiving more attention
in the northwest, as it has been dis
covered that the finest pork in the
world is raised here.
The breeding of horses has received
more attention of late than before. 1t
Is estimated that over 100000 was
realized during 1903 from the sale of
horses raised in this region.

{ THE TESTsOF VALUE,

The above table is taken from the report
Of the United States Secretary of Agriculture
for 1901. The value of land is governed by its
productive capacity, while temporary conditions
may affect its selling price. The best farm land
in Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota sells from
$50 to 500 acre. In this favored district
land be bought for SIS to SEQ because there
are not enough people in the county to cult
vate it. According to Uncle Sam an average
acre in Washington is worth more than an aver
age acre in any Of the other states mentioned.

Irrigation Becoming a Factor.
Irrigation was introduced in 1903
as factor in the development Of Spo-
kane. Water was taken from three
lakes in the Spokane valley and con-
veyed to nearly 1000 acres. The re-
suits exceeded the expectations of the
projectors, as. the gravelly loan yield
ed immense crops when brought I'M
der water. Many homes were made
on five and ten.acre tracts on the
Rathdrum prairie, Idaho, and at
Greenacres, just ten. miles east Of Spo-
kane. Irrigation works are being con-
structed on large scale to bring from
10000 to 10000 acres under water.
When the big project is completed a
few years hence, the Spokane valley
will be green from end to end and one
