To Write Up the State.

One of the features in preparation for
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, to
be held at st. Louis next year, is an
authentic publication describing the
state of Washington and the territory
of Alaska, covering thoroughly the re-
sources and business opportunities of
these sections. This exhaustive maya
zine will be at least of $50 pages of ordi-
a-y magazine size, illustrated 9TH
many halftone cuts of the different Sec
lions of the state and of the industries
that will be of great interest to those
who desire to become informed upon the
progressiveness of and the opportunities
in this much talked of portion of the
United States.
The work of compiling and arranging
the matter is in the hands of the Gowell-
Kelly Advertising company of Seattle,
and the book will be printed by the Met

A New Tunnel and Double Track.

The Tacoma News prints the follow
ing important information as to the
intentions of the Northern Pacific to
make costly improvements on the ] n.
OF its road from The Columbia river Ell
the Cascades:
Anticipating that some day the Har-
riman lines would seek Puget Sound ter
minals the officials of the Northern Pa
cifc have not been idle.
Some time ago line was surveyed
on which it is proposed to bore new
tunnel through the Cascade mountains.
| This line is about three miles north of
the present Stampede tunnel, and it is
said that it will give route 1900 feet
lower than the present tunnel saving
a haul up and a drop down of nearly a
third of a mile on all freight hauled over
the mountains. It. is estimated that the
reduced cost of operation made possible
by this tunnel will much more than
equal the interest on the cost of con-
struction, as the cost of hauling freight
per ton per train mile would be greatly
reduced
The Northern Pacific now has a dou-
BILE track from Tacoma to Palmer, one
track being the old line from Meeker
Junction to Palmer and the other the
Auburn cutoff Railroad men say that a
double track across the mountains is
needed. and two alternative propositions
are under consideration. One is to dou-
BILE track the line as it now stands
through to the Stampede tunnel and the
other is to use this line for one track,
as now, and build another line through
the proposed new tunnel.
"The question of a double track over
the mountains, as we'll as the question
of building bridge across the Columbia
river at or near Vancouver, are under
stood to be in allegiance pending a decis-
ion on the question. which Mr.. Mellen
hau under consideration for two years,
of building down the north shore of the
Columbia from Wallula to Vancouver
and thence across the peninsula to Port
land. The terminal property in Port
land for srch line was purchased two
years ago. By building such line down
the Columbia the Northern Pacific would
have a route over which all Oregon bust
ness could be handled more economically,
and if that line were built the construc-
ton of new tunnel would probably
| not be necessary for years"

ropniitan Press, Of that dty, At least
$4,000 copies of the work will be issued.
The facts and data will be carefully
gathered, and it is expected that 1t will
require all the time between now and the
opening of the exposition, May l. to
complete the publication.
Every county in the state of Wash
ington will be represented in the book,
it being one of the stipulations of the
commission in arranging for the work,
that every portion of the state of Wash
ington be carefully outlined and that
the description of Alaska be of a
character to give the actual facts and
conditions that exist there. 1t is believ.
ed that those living in the east who are
anxious to obtain reliable information
relative to the Pacific Northwest, will
find in this book just what they want,
and as no Partially will be shown as to
localities or cities, those who read with
the idea of coming to Washington or
Alaska will form an opinion from the
publication that they may depend upon
for their guidance.

Sunnyside Farmers Institute.

At the farmers institute at Sunny
side last week, Professors n. O. Booth,
Elton Fulmer and George Severance of
the state agricultural college were the
instructors. They handled their various
subjects with such simplicity, so devoid
of technicality, that farmers greatly ap-
preciated the addresses. One of the pro-
fessors. who has attended eight insti-
tutes thus far this season, says that in
point of attendance Sunnyside is ex-
celled by but one, while it stands easily
first as to local discussions and manifest
interest.
Among local issues discussed were
drainage. So much water has been ap-
piled in seeding the large area of the
ashley land in this vicinity that with the
addition of the intermittent creeks COM
ing from the Rattlesnake hills, it is
found necessary to cut large open
bitches, to be joined and carried on to
the river. A drainage district of about
10000 acres is being established.
A special meeting for the organization
of hay growers association was called
by the institute. The questions of a
railroad and the extension of the Sun
nyside canal, as proposed by the Wash
ington Irrigation company, for the re-
clamation of the $4,000 acres of state
and other lands, were live topics. Res
olutions were passed favoring Land
Commissioner Callvert's plan for irri-
eating these state lands.

Dear Sir:-For many years an editor
myself, 1 address you by request and
as a simple duty. A great discovery has
been made in this city. 1t is fraught
with SO much Importance and yet is Sd
hard to believe, that those who are per-
sonally cognizant should add the weight
of their influence, be it great or small.
not only know by CONTACT with many
of the beneficiaries but was myself res
cued from Bright's Disease by it. The
cure has been found, and the difficulty
in believing it is costing many lives. It
is astounding how far our prejudices car
ry us. But the great fact is here, and
acceptance means recovery.
After my own experience releasecmf
After my own unexpected release /
wouldn't let my friends rest and several
took the treatment and recovered. One
was Charles F. Wacker, the Sixth street
merchant. He had Diabetes and thought
he was going to die. He got well ami

1 say to you as a brother editor that
those of your friends who have Diabetes
or Bright's disease, and every one knows
of some, that they can recover. / will
be glad as one of many survivors out

Resolutions.

The following resolutions have been
passed by North Yakima Camp No. $3.50,
NJ. w. A.:
Whereas, in the all wise providence
of the great ruler of the universe, it has
pleased him to take from our midst, our
beloved and esteemed neighbor and cit
izen, Arthur A. Waite;
Therefore Be it Resolved, That we
tender to the bereaved widow and or
phans our sincere sorrow. We know we'll
and feel what she has lost, what she has
suffered and is suffering, and yet has
to endure. The same trials have taught
us that for ills so Unreasonable, time
and silence are the only medicine. We
will not by useless coincidence, open
afresh the sluices of her grief, nor, al
though mingling sincerely our tears with
hers, will say word, but that is of
some comfort to all of us, that the time
is not very far distant at which we are
to deposit in the same cerement our
'oiio"S "hu ouHciiHS pouico, dHu " as
cend in essence to an ecstatic meeting
with the friends we have loved and lost,
and whom we shall still love and never
lose again.
And Be it Further Resolved, That
copy of these resolutions shall be spread
upon the minutes, copy to be pub
lished in each paper in the city of North
Yakima, Washington, and copy to be
sent to the official paper of the Modern
Woodmen of America, and that the
Charter shall be draped in mourning for
the period of thirty days.
