The Switzler horse range, extend
ing for about 200 miles along the
north side of the Columbia river in
Klickitat and Yakima counties in
Washington, is to be the subject for a
series of descriptive articles to be
published in a syndicate of eastern
newspapers during the coming year.
Arthur Putnam of st. Louis, passed
through the city this morning to Ken
newick, Wash, equipped with came
ras, kodaks, riding boots and all the
necessary paraphernalia for riding
over the Switzler ranges in order to
gather data for the articles.
Mr.. Putnam is a syndicate writer of
considerable popularity and will de-
vote month to the study of the
Switzler range during the roundup
season of the spring in order to Sc
cure excellent range photographs and
that he may see the vaqueros, mess
wagons, herds of horses and the cor
rails and water places at the busiest
and most picturesque period.
The Switzler horse range is said to
be the largest enjoyed by any indi-
Vidual company in the world. II
reaches from the Rattlesnake hills in
eastern Yakima county around the
bend of the Columbia river through
kllckitat county for a distance of
nearly 200 miles and includes a typi-
cal western desert district. All over
this vast extent of range are scattered
the corrals and watering places and
on this range are found between 5000
and 10000 head of horses of all kinds
and breeds, from the pinto outcast to
the finely proportioned roadster
which has been bred by the Switz-
lers during the last few years.
At one time the Switzlers owned
$4,000 head of horses which ranged
on this vast region, but several years
ago they sold 5000 head to the Linton
cannery and since then have gradual
ly bred for a larger and better class
OF horses in less numbers.
1t is said to be one of the most nic-
turesque ranges in the world. At
times in the summer season, herds Of
1000 head of horses may be seen rae
ing to Snake river to their favorite
watering places and at other times
during breeding season dozens of
fierce stations engage in fights
which last for hours and which are
described as very exciting events on
the range.

OVER 1000 MEN
NOW EMPLOYED
ON THE NORTH BANK ROAD
ABOVE CASCADE LOCKS.
Exact Route Not Yet Determined Be
tween Cascade Locks and Nancou-
ver-Thc Whole Enterprise Means
Little Direct and Immediate Benefit
to Local Business Interests. as the
Contractors Manage to Monopolize
the Trade-Ties and Bridge Timber
Are Imported.

"There are now 1000 men at work
on the Northern Pacific north bank
road between The Dalles and Cascade
Locks" said ]. H. Dunlap, of the
Wind River Lumber company. this
morning. Also, Mr.. Dunlap states
there is even more than that number
now at work this side The Dalles,
many being opposite Arlington. Be-
tween the Cascades and Vancouver
little is being done now excepting
surveys, as the route has not yet been
determined.
According to Mr.. Dunlap the large
number of workmen on the north
side of the river has little effect on
the towns in the vicinity, as the men
are supplied with nearly everything
by the contractors. He declares that
the st. Paul contracting firm which
has general charge of the work
makes its money more from furnish
ing supplies than from actual con-
struction work. They ship practically
everything from st. Paul and own the
steamers that distribute the freight
to the camps along the river Even
the ties and bridge timber are shipped
in from other places, so the mills
along the Columbia derive little good
from the work now in progress.
Practically all of the men employed
in the construction work are shipped
out from st. Paul They are given
the trip free provided they will go to
work for the company, and hun
dreds of men are being sent out on
this basis. However, Mr.. Dunlap
says many of the men merely take
advantage of the offer to get the free
trip and quit work after few days,
declaring they are dissatisfied. They
then seek work in the mills and other
industries in the neighborhood.

Walla Walla, March 6.-The Walla
Walla Traction company, through its
president, !. w. Anderson, this morn
ing authorized the statement to the
public, that the company is now about
ready to begin the construction of 90

the city limits of Walla Walla and the
suburban line to either Milton or
Freewater built as soon as possible.
1t is proposed to begin the construc-
ton as soon as the material can be

first-class in every particular and it Is
the hope of the company to have the
road in operation at the earliest date
possible.

Chicago, March 6.-The pure food
crusade was yesterday taken up by
the Federation of Labor and an in
vestigation OF the manufacture and
sale of adulterated products was au-
thorized, which, 1t is hoped, will bring
to the attention of the 10000 organ
lied workmen and their families some
of the evils resulting from violations
of the pure food laws of Illinois.
The federation proposes to interest
the consumers, and believes that a
campaign participated in by the va
rious local unions would have an i'm
portant effect in restricting the wide-
spread sale of impure products.
All the delegates present at the la
Dor meeting gave their warm support
to the proposed crusade. The SUBJ
ject was introduced by Charles u.
Wheeler, one of the older labor lead
ers, who called the attention of the
body to the fact that workingmen,
ested vitality in the question of pure
food.
Mr.. Wheeler's suggestion for reme-
dying the existing conditions were
two. He advised n canvass of all re-
tail dealers of the city to discover
where the impure articles are on sale
The list, he said, will be tabulated and
distributed to every workingman's
family in the city. With such data
In hand, he asserted, boycott
against adulterated goods might cas-
lily be made effective.
