here, left North Yakima four years
ago for Kennewick, where he bought
| land and set out an orchard. This
year the orchard will come into
bearing, and if the past year is any
criterion for the future, the returns
should well reward his four years
hard work. Mr.. and Mrs. Bartlett
are both of unusual culture and
taste, and their North Yakima home
was among the most artistically fur
tished in the city. Mrs. Bartlett
has done some extensive European
travelling, and souvenirs of her trips
added to the interest and attractive
ness of her home. Louis Quinze
treasures and Florentine mosaics
hidden away in little house in tn.
sagebrush are among the incongrui
ties of the north west.

Money In Chickens.
Rev. Leon d. Green has a ranch,
of course, but he has devoted him
self especially to the chicken bust
ness. There's money in it," is Mr..
Green's pleasant declaration. He
was manager of the recent chicken
show here, where he exhibited some
of his famous Houdans. In l.lis
breed Mr.. Green claims to have the
best birds in the state. For one pen
of 16 birds, which he raised himself,
he has a standing offer, he says, of

has a number of colonies of his own,
and rents colonies of neighboring
