In small centers of population where none
but the most general laws govern it is neces-
sary to form an improvement society to look
after the health and we'll being of the people
as hole, says the Los Angeles Times.
The laws of hygiene must be observed. Both
sewers and surface drainage should be pro.
vided by the people as whole, and where no
city government exists this is splendid work
for live society for civic betterment.

FAR FROM HOME
A Former Carroll countian Writes Of
His Experiences.

WENArcHEE, WASH, Jan. Is.
Dear Advocate and Readers:
We have not had any rain this fall, but
plenty of snow. There has been good sleigh
ing since the 10Th of December, 1907.
The people living in the canons have been
hauling wood. but the ranchers in the valley
haven't much to do at present, for it is toe
early for pruning fruit trees. There is going
to be plenty of work in the valley next season.
To get help is the question with the ranchers,
for help was scarce last season. Good hands
on ranch GET $40 to $50 month and board,
ten hours work day. Day laborers get 50. 25
to 81. so per day.
We seldom have any rain in the valley.
The trees are watered by irrigation, the water
being brought nineteen miles out of the We.
natchee river 10 irrigate 5000 acres. The
summers are long, warm during the day, but
nights are cool. Some can sleep comfortably
under quilt or blanket.
Yours truly.
