GREAT NORTHERN OFFICIALS.
Out on Il Tour of InspectiOn-G Gather
ing Information for the Passen-
ger and Advertising
Department..

A party of Great Northern railroad
officials, in the private car Wisconsin,
passed through on No. Wednesday
afternoon, going east.
The party had spent the past ten days
on the coast line of the road on tour
of inspection and at the same time
gathering data and information to be
used in promoting the interests of the
passenger department of the road.
In the party were G. E. Stone, gen
eral passenger agent, G. N. Ry., St.
Paul; j. f. Marrow, general adyertis-
ing agent, ST. Paul; F.. W. Graham and
wife, Seattle. Mr. Graham is travelling
freight agent; Mr.. and Mrs. S. G. An
drus. Mr.. Andrus is on the staff Of the
Chicago Record-Herald.
There we're others in the party whose
names we did not learn, among them
Photographic artists and newslal er
men.
They were all highly pleased with
the trip and frequently remarked upon
the rapid development of the railroad
field in this state and the splendid pros
poets for large crop and the general
prosperity of the country.

A Kansas Farmer Gets Ahead OF the
Trust.


Some time ago says the Great
Bend Register, representatives
of a bloated corporation invaded
the wheat field of an old hay
seed to put up some telephone
poles. The old farmer objected,
so the story runs, to having his
grain trampled on, but was
shown a paper and told that it
gave them permission to go
where they pleased.
The old farmer started back
for the house thinking hard
things of corporations and
trusts. All at once an idea came
into his head, as they will come
into the heads even of farmers.
The old farmer had large
bull which he was compelled to
keep penned up for the reason
that he would fight every other
bull in the neighborhood. This
beast he turned into the field
where the men were at work.
The dust that the men were kick
Jag up soon attracted the bulls
attention. He evidently thought
this a defiant paving up of
the earth by his rival, so he gave
q few bellows, histed his tail and

impossible TO Make the Best Rread.9
One of the best hOusekeepers in this
or any other town made the above re-
mark when her husband sent home a
sack of flour that he had been persuad-
ed was ''just as good as Peach Bios
som. If there was any other -four ''iust
as good" as Peach Blossom then the
prize for being the BEST FLOUR
would never have been awarded the
gold medal at the great st. Louis Elk
position in competition with every so
called best -four in the United States,
but the committee said Peach Blossom
was the BEST. This was the verdict
of impartial judges. Do not let mer
chant impose on you by sending you
something 'just as good" The reason
for this lies in the fact that his profit is
larger in the other flour. d. M.
Thomas & Co, the local agent, is in
structed to supply every dealer with
Peach Blossom -four, If your merchant
will not get it for you, d. NJ. Thomas &
Co will send it to yonr home, aud you
will have the BEST BREAD. 2St2

If evidence Of the productivity
of the Cascade Orchard lands is
needed, to convince the skepti-
cal, it lies just across the Icycle
river on the farm of Geo. Bris-
key. One day last week the
writer had occasion to walk
through this place 1t is one Of
the Oldest in the valley, having
been settled by Mr.. Briskey
some eighteen years ago. About
forty acresi is devoted to timothy
hay and some fifteen acres to
corn, potatoes and various kinds
of vegetables. None of the land
is under irrigation, yet notwith-
standing Mr.. Briskey has raised
a magnificent crop of hay which
he is now cutting and curing. 1t
is from two and half to three
and a half feet high and stands
as thick on the ground as it is
possible for grass to grow.
The potatoes, corn, beans and
vine crops look as thrifty and
promise as large a yield as the
average crops in the Wenatchee
valley lands when they are irri-
gated. OF course it must be
taken into consideration that
there was an unusual amount of
raiufall this year. This only
goes to show that under proper
condition the land in this i'm
mediate vicinity is as productive
as it is anywhere in the state of
Washington.
