From C. A. Ramsey.

Minkler, Wash, Jan. 24, 1908.
 Editor Tribune:- We have been in this land of high moun- tains, deep canyons, rich valleys and tall timber now for five years.
 I am not able to give your readers a graphic description of the country, but may be able to give some idea by few scatter ing notes. There are lots of trees here that measure 15 feet in diameter at the butt, and many trees are over 300 feet high. Many trees show to be over 2000 years old, which would make them over 100 years old when Christ was on earth.
 We live % miles from the bay and 30 miles from the line of British Columbia, so it is an easy matter to get out of the United States pretty quick. like this country and would like to ex- tend the right hand of fellowship to my old friends in Arkansas. Times have been good in this country ever since we have been here until now, but have been fortunate in that have saved up something to live on awhile whether school keeps or 1 not.
 Everything is high in this country, especially groceries. They are like the man that was born on top of a ten story build- ing, they come high, but we have to have them. Butter 40 cents, eggs 50 cents, meat 20 cents, is the way prices run. It costs us $20 8 month for groceries alone, besides house rent, cloth ing, etc., but when I work l get over S70 per monht, besides Town land here that brings me in something.
 This is the year of politics and warm times. Bryan is strong in this country and will stand a good show to carry the coast states.
 As it is looked upon here something has to be done with the Japs. I think when Presi- dent Roosevelt gets the fleet here he will bring them to terms That is the only salvation for the people here, but they are a treacherous lot and would use any means to destroy the fleet, and then they would take the country. If there were a few more Arkansawyers here there would be some dead Japs here il they ever start a raid up this valley.
 I have just jotted these lines to let my old Arkansas friends know that we are still alive With regards and best wishes for The Tribune and my ole frien ds, I am, Yours truly,
 c. A. RAMSEY.

FROM DreSent 3Dnaaran,

FROM present appearances it would seem that W. J. Bryan will be the next Democratic nominee for President if he wants it. No other candidate arouses as much enthusiasm in the party as Bryan.
