The Iouued-off Lands.

The man of small means will find
upon investigation that he can readily
become an independent farmer by
buying a tract of logged-off land in
western Washington. The initial in
vestment for good-sized place is not
large, and while it will require time
and labor to make a highly improved
farm. still it is his own property he
is improving and every stroke of work
makes his place just so much more
valuable. 1t should be borne in mind
that the area of land in western Wash
ington, accessible to transportation, is
not large The population of this Sec
ton will certainly increase with won
derful rapidity. 1t will not be many
years before the population of the
cities of Puget Sound will reach a
total of three-quarters of a million,
giving an unexcelled home market for
all farm products. Alaska, too, is our
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1905-10-01

exclusive market, and is constantly in
creasing it's demands.
When these facts are taken into con-
sideration it can readily be seen that
farming land in western Washington
cannot fail to be good investment.
Until comparatively recent period
the big timber companies have been
refusing to dispose of their logged-off
lands because they did not want set
tiers to come in, claiming that it in
creased the danger from forest fires,
thus causing great destruction to
standing timber. Now, however, wher
ever they have tracts that have been
cleared of timber they are putting the
same on the market at very reasonable
prices, making easy terms of payment,
so that anyone with comparatively
few dollars can become the owner of
an embryo farm.

The Policy Holder Foots the Bill.

The Policy Holder Foots the Bill.
The scandals being unearthed in the
big life insurance companies brings
to mind an incident which happened
at the Hotel Washington two years
ago. The writer was engaged in con-
versation with Jas. A. Moore, proprie'
tor of the hotel and one of the city's
most successful business men, when
about twenty young men attired In
evening dress, filed by disappearing
into a private dining room. They were
agents of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society, and were being given BAN
ouet by the state agent, w. M. Elem.
ing, of course at company expense.
One of the company's special repre-
sentatives spying Mr. Moore, could not
resist the opportunity to come over
and try to sell him some life insurance.
Mr.. Moore very pleasantly sidestepped,
however Wishing to draw an ex-
preston of opinion from this able H.
nancier, the writer asked:
"Mr. Moore, do you understand how
it is that these big companies can ar
ford to maintain the finest offices In
the city, with dozens of highly-paid
men. and giving at frequent intervals
costly banuuets, as we'll as expending
large sums in the most prodigal man
ner for entertainment and general pro-
motive work, and still be able to make
their insurance policies profitable
investments"
"I do not consider life insurance a
good investment" replied Mr.. Moore.
81 recognize that in a great many cases
the amount secured from the life IN
surance policy is the salvation OF the
family where it's head has met an I'M
timely death, as it is the only provls-
ion against financial distress. The
amount paid in on their annual prem
ium would probably have otherwise
been dissipated. In such Instances
life insurance certainly is blessing.
It's value, however, is purely protect
i've. But no insurance agent could ever
get me to take out an insurance policy
with the idea that it is a good form or
investment. I can make so much with
the same amount in business enter
prises.
cts the policy holder who pays for
these sumptuous offices, pr1ncely sal
aries. wine dinners, etc. The policy
holders don't seem to realize 1t, but
after while they will wake up to the
actual facts, and then there will be
complete revolution in this life in
surance business. 1t costs from $50 to
$50 per thousand dollars Of insurance
now. where it ought to be not more
than $40 or SIS, if the companies
were to do away with all this extrava-
CANT waste of money. Life insurance
should be as cheap proportionately as
fire insurance"
In the light of recent developments,
Mr.. Moore's statements read like a
prophecy.

The Ranch warmly cOmmends the
Seattle Daily POst-Intelllgencer TOT the
amount of space it is devotlng TO the
logged.off land question. That journal
is bringing forcibly to bear upon the
minds of our people the opportunities
for home-making by clearing and put
ting these lands into cultivation. Inc
editorials and articles it is publishing
will undoubtedly hasten their develop
ment and thus add greatly to the
productive farming territory OF west
ern Washington.
The announcement made by the new
chief of engineers statloned aI oeaF
tle Gen. Mckenzie, that Lake WASH
ington will be kept at its lowest SUM
mer level throughout the year, Dy
keeping the gates at the outlet open
is good news to the farmers and resi-
dents of the Duwamish and Wnlte
river districts, because 1t Will prevent
the disastrous floods that have hereto
fore prevailed nearly every season.
This action will make cultlvaDle
many thousands of acres OF very rlch
farming land that is now too wet Tor
anything but pasture.
Irrigation farming and cropping the
logged-off lands seem to be the Things
that are attracting most attention III
the real estate world at the present
time. While thousands OF acres OF
common land. are offered for sale
cheap in the humid belt of the Cana
dian west we have here in the arid
and timbered regions steady call
by preference for lands where irri-
CATION is needed for the growing OF
crops, or where the rich virgin SOIL
has Just been cleared of logs. These
lands will always have the call so
long as men have the price.
One of the daily papers OF Belllng-
ham says that after carrying milk on
his back for more than five years e.
M. Whalen, farmer living near the
northern city, has ordered an auto
mobile from the east to transport the
tactical fluid of his herd to the rail-
road for shipment to the creamery.
Whether the Bellingham reporter was
indulging in a pipe-dream or was CIV
ing us the gospel truth regarding the
farmers intention to use an auto we
will not state-but the suggestion or
using automobiles for hauling in the
country contains something of more
than ordinary interest. That auto
mobiles can be used for a great variety
of purposes in the country, goes with

out question. With the good roads
for which many sections in the north
west are noted the auto would prove a
very handy vehicle; and we predict
that when the prices have come down
a few notches the more wealthy farm
ers throughout the northwest will be
showing their city cousins few tricks
with the chug-chug machines.
