ELLENSBURG, WASH, Mch 10, ,C6.
My DEAR Son JOHN:
| have put in the past week looking
over this beautiful Kittitas valley, and
l must say it is the finest valley have
ever locked upon. The soil is rich and
enormous crops are produced. Wheat
yields from 40 to 60 bushels per acre,
oats so to $50, barley 40 to so. Wheat
is now worth soc, oats Poe, and barley
3Oc. The beauty of it all is that the
farmer makes his own season.
There is no government land that
can be farmed, left in this valley.
Besides, if there was, it would be too
!, far from market hence, it is better to
buy and secure this advantage.
1t costs about the same to live here
hat it does back east. Clothing, fuel,
breadstutf, ETC., are as cheap here IS
there.
Farm hands are paid from $35 to $40
per month. Harvest band get 1926
per day of 10 hours. and the same price
prevails in the haying season.
Fruit trees are as cheap here as at
home, everything considered.
This is fine dairy cOuntry-in fact,
the finest in the world. Tons of butter
are made here every year. Five large
and we'll equipped creameries are run
the year around, the result of which
brings thousands of dollars in to the
farmers pocket every month. From
monthly reports of those plants | learn
that the five plants averaged 4S, coo
pounds Of butter per month last YET; r,
or for the year, 5000 pounds.
Apples, pears, plums apricots, peach.
es prunes, etc., besides all kinds of
small sruit grow prolifcally and in
abundance.
Good horses, and there are great
many here, weighing 1000 to | 400 al e
worth from S400 to $50 per span.
Cows, common to good, $50 to $50 err
head.

Fierce Wind Does Damage

From the Yakima Heard we learn
that the storm of Saturday, Sunday
and Monday did much damage, uproot-
ing trees, demo,ishing outholses,a large
Warehouse in the Mckee valley, smash
ing signs. plate glass windows, ect. the
wind blowing like a bowling blizzard
and at the rate of 60 miles per hour.
Little or no damage was done in this
city or valley, but the cold wind was
very disagreeable.

the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der, because under it the small private
schemes which would limit develop
ment for. personal gain must give way
to larger works of greater general
benefits.
"Finally because it gives each man
land enough to support his family and
no more; the reclamation act is the
most powerful of all foes to monopoly
of the land.
"Forest destruction and land mo-
nopely are among the most actively
dangerous of all enemies to the pros
perity of the great West. Land mo-
nopoly in various forms and by various
devices has been and still is encour-
aged or permitted by the land laws.
This must be stopped, and whatever
changes are required to stop it must be
made. Upon this point l commend the
report of the public land commission
ers to your careful attention. No man
should be permitted to take or occupy
more of the public land than he can
put to beneficial use.
"And so far as it can be done with
safety to the great interests of the ma
ton, every man who will put public
land to it's highest use by making his
permanent home upon il should be al
lowed to take enough of it to support
that home, of course under the neces.
airy restrictions.
son the other hand, we must beware
of letting the public lands pass into
private hands for fictitious reasons,
such as have commonly and successful
ly been urged in the past. Above all,
the government must use no undue
haste in getting rid of it's lands, but
must make absolutely sure that the
land it parts with shall go to the max
ing of homes, and not only that, but to
the best homes that each par
ticular kind of land can be made to
support.
SPY your advocacy of forest protec-
tion you are doing great service to
the West. Give your hearty support
to the forest service, which is engaged
in protecting both the present and the
future of irrigation, by protecting and
using the forests. Its task, like that
of the reclamation service, is difficult
one. Both services need, both deserve
and | am certain both will have your
vigorous backing and assistance.
81 congratulate you again upon what
has already been accomplished, and
join you ia the confident expectations
of still greater success.

notified the city authorities that he
has in his possession 81, 500 of city war

warrants and may decide to resist the

the statute books, that he would see II
enforced if it took every dollar in the
State treasury.
He said that the statement that the
Sturgis commission had cost $4,000 up
to July was absolutely false, as it had
only cost $4,000. He also spoke on the
increase in State expenditures, and eX-
planned it by saying that the people to-
day are constantly demanding better
highways and better schools, and that
these improvements cost money.
Gov. Cobb was followed by Hon.

State senator. Mr.. Sewall spoke brief

the State expenditures, on the latter
subject following the lines of Gov.
