STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY DESERVES AID
A Devoted Effort Of Number of Men and
Women Has Brought Together Large
Amount Of Valuable Matter-Memoirs OF the
Early Commonwealth.

Like most OF the younger states, the
commonwealth of Washington has
hitherto sadly neglected the work OF
collecting and preserving the materials
Of its early history. Here, as else
where, this very important duty has
been left mainly to the enthusiasm and
intelligent foresight of few citizens,
while the state itself profits by their
public spirit, but refuses them its sup
port. This, in a nutshell, has been the
history of the Washington State His
torical society and its efforts to save
the records OF Washington's territorial
and state progress. BY private effort
a number of devoted men and women
have brought together large amount
of valuable matter-early newspapers,
letters, manuscript, memoirs, relics Of
pioneer days and other memorabilia of
the builders of the commonwealth.
They have given to this work much
time and no small total in money.
During last year alone the society col
lected and spent $1,000 for its varied
enterprises, including the Lake Sequa-
ltchew monument. But to all this
worthy effort the state has given no
aid deserving the name.
In his inaugural address TO the pres
ent legislature Governor Mead called
attention to the desirability OF mod
crate appropriation to enable the So
ciety to provide for the arranging,
binding or otherwise preserving of its
Invaluable data now stored 10 the city
hall. This work must be done now if
much OF the material is not to be lost
1t should be properly classified and
bound in simple, durable style, so as to
be at all times accessible to citizens
and students in search of information

The party will travel.
The young ladies will 60 over the
Canadian Pacific Railway to Buffalo
where they will visit Niagara Falls,
then on to New York c ty, Washing
ton and jamestown. While in Wash
ington the young ladies will meet the
President of the United States with
whom Mr.. Bates recently made the ar
rangement.
Any young lady in our county can
enter her name for the trip by writing
Mr.. Bates at Portland, Oregon. The
method of choosing representatives, for
this trip rests wholly with the young
ladies of the counties. They are all
entitled to compete for the honor. 1t
is a simple proposition depending en-
tirely upon the amount of the young
ladies put in during the next six
months in obtaining subscriptions for
the Pacific Northwest. The cost of the
paper is fifty cents year or
three years fOr one uOIlar, ana from
our present knowledge, the Pacific
Northwest is the best farm monthly
west of the Rocky Mountains.
Mr.. Bates will take carload OF
Oregon girls to jamestown, leaving
Portland May l. The Washington
girls will leave September TO- The
estimated cost of the trip is in the
neighborhoed OF sl0000.90, and can
not help but prove wonderful adver-
tisement for our State. The Pacific
Northwest from month to month has
several pages on our resources by the
Secretary OF State and is bringing a
large number of enquiries from the
East as well as many settlers.

Mr.. Bates, of Portland Oregon, to Organize

of the State OF Washington is now IN

known publisher, Philip S. Bates. who

Mr.. Bates will take one or more
young ladies in September to the
jamestown Fair free OF all expenses,
from each OF the agricultural counties
OF Washington. 1t is expected these

PEACH TREES NOT HURT
s. v. Naxsy, Fruit Inspector Thinks That
The Peach Trees are Not Injured.

There is report to the effect that
that the peach trees in portions OF this
valley are badly hurt as a result OF the
severe weather in January, but in an
interview with the county fruit inspec-
tor, 5. ". Maxey, he, in sum and sub
stance said; The people are unduly
alarmed: have examined the trees and
buds in my orchard and find the trees
uninjured and fully half Of the fruit
buds safe as yet. The inner bark at
this season OF the year is naturally OF
dark brown color, 1t is well enough to
prune up the trees, removing surplus
limbs and those that are actually dead,
but don't cut the tree down until it is
actually dead. 1t is my opinion that
no trees were killed in Kitttas valley
as a result OF any cold weather. I, is
my opinion the trees will be all right
aud produce fine foliage in due
season"
