Elma, Wash. Oct. 6 1907. II you
will allow me space in your paper
will try to give you a few items OF
interest about Elma. a town OF 5000
inhabitants, situated on the Cheha-
lis river about 25 miles from the
Pacific. 1t is strictly Western in form
and habits though blest with modern
schools and churches. and like most
other Western towns supported by
lumber and shingle business for
which it is very admirably adapted
having an abundance OF the finest
hemlock and fir for the manufact-
ure of lumber. and the finest OF red
ceder for shingles. Wages here are
good ranging from $3.50 to $500 per
day. and labOrers are scarce.
There is considerable attention Civ
en- to farming, raising all the prin-
cipal products excepting corn and
sweetpotatOes. We have all the fruits
here. There is considerable game here
yet, such as bear. deer wild cat cou-
gar and red squirrels.
People here are quite different from
the people of Kentucky in manners
and customs. There are uqite a few
Kentuckian's here, and as has been
said and truly so a Kentuckian is a
Kentuckian the world over. Wishing
success to the News and all our
friends in Kentucky. and hoping o
hear from them often through the
medium of the News. we remain very
Respectfully Jim and Jay Hayes.
