The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-08-15

RecordHerald objects to the plan and insists that
the choice pieces of land should be put up at
auction or be appraised and sold as would be
done by private citizen in the due course OF
business, and that the government of the United
States should not be guilty of setting an open
and notorious example of public gambling. Ana
the Portland Journal declares that the land lou
teries are an appeal to the gambling spirit. They
set just vicious an example before the country
as did the Louisiana lottery. AS a result there
has been presented the spectacle OF thousands OF
DerSons iourneying thousands OF miles to register
for the drawing. Great sums of money have been
spent in railroad fares and other expenses, all OF
which will be lost except in the cases OF the Few
who hold lucky numbers
On the other hand, it is urged that the plan
adopted avoids the rush and violence incident to
former land openings The scenes that were en-
acted in Oklahoma are fresh in our memories ana
were disgrace to our civilization and our States
manship. Far better to "cast the lot, talrly ana
souarely and abide by the result. 1.-The lot
causeth contention to cease, and parteth between
the mighty"
II is true that for the state lands Of Washing
ton the auction plan has been used with financial
success. That method, however, tends to narrow
the field of APPLICANTS to a more limited line OF
men with more prominent monetary interests anu
influence whereas it has always been the poncy
of the United States government to place the
public lands on the market at price within the
reach of any citizen, and to give special induce
ments to those who are home-seekers ndeeu. IL
seems to that the plan adopted is wise ana
efficient and free from the prenicious elements
that surround and pertain to real gambling or lot
teries conducted by parties with a direct interest,"
in the outcome.
"Safe is the nation that is rich in home owners
Wise is the counsel that advises multiplication
and extension of irrigated areas. The home
owner is soldier for good order The more Oh
them the safer is the social structure. EVERY
tenant transformed into land owner by supdlVl-
sion of a large freehold is one more bolt TO
strengthen the foundations of commonwealth or
nation"

THE RANCH AND THE PICNIC

The Office force of The Ranch has had picnic.
Together with the workers in the various branches
of the Metropolitan Press Printing Company
business and their friends, the members OF the
force attended a very enjoyable gathering at the
newly completed summer cottage OF Mr.. and MRS.
H. G. Pigott, Saturday, July 81. The cottage IS
located in charming spot on the shore of Puget
Sound, not far from one of the beautiful CITY
parks Constructed of log and rustic work, ana
surrounded by splendid forest growth OF maple,
fir and alder trees, the two story structure COM
mands fine view over the ebbing and flowing
waters of the Sound and provides restful place
for retirement and recuperation from the Tolls
and cares of a busy life, and has been called
Maple Grove Cottage.
The company of fifty or more were royalty en-
tertaired by Mr. and Mrs. Pigott and their sister,
Mrs Niehoff. The afternoon and evening were
spent in quiet enjoyment of the scene and It's
associations Toward the abundant supply OF
choice refreshments, the following friends OF The
Ranch were contributors of choice fruits: A. D.
Blowers j. W. Bowen, California Commission Co.
H. S. Emerson, E. c. Klyce & Co., and D. b.
Powles An evening bonfire frightened the oc-
casion and the guests departed wishing Mr. and
Mrs Pigott years of enjoyment of the beautlful
place.

A COUNTRY LIFE.

1t seems to me I'd like to go
Where bells don't ring, whistles blow
Nor clocks don't strike, nor gongs don't sound,
And I'd have a stiffness all around
Not real Stiffness but just the trees
Low whisperings, of the hum of bees,
Or brooks faint babbling over stones
In strangely, softly tangled tones.
Or maybe cricket katydid,
Or the songs of birds in the hedges hid,
Or Just some such sweet sounds as these
To fill a tired heart with ease.
If 'twerent for sight and sound and smell
I'd like the city pretty well;
But when it comes to getting rest,
1 like the country lots the best.
Sometimes it seems to me must
Just quit the citys din and dust
And get out where the sky is blue,
And say, now, how does it seem to you!

COMING TO THE FRONT


Conservation mas been defined as putting
things to their right use" Conservation of our
natural resources has been taken up for earnest
discussion and is being put into form for applica-
ton in practical work. Conservation bids fair
to become the dominant note of the twentieth
century activities
Conservation is susceptible of wide applica-
ton In our home life it can be applied to many
things that make for health and happiness. 1t
has to do with the household arrangements and
with the of food, clothing and amusements.
Right use have effective application to our
home duties and activities
At the recent meeting of the Loggers Assoc1a-
ton on the A.-Y.-P. grounds, DR.. w. Belt OF
Troutdale Oregon, said that impure water, poor
cooking, improper care of the food and poor
sanitary conditions are striking evils or the log
gng camps. He advised the construction of bath
houses, club houses and even gymnasiums, saying
that it would pay the companies in the long run
10 provide these agencies for better health condi
tons If that be true of our logging camps, how
much more is it true of the home in which we
pass lives.
In a recent government publication, "a Report
on National Vitality" Prof. Irving Fisher, of Yale
University discusses the national waste in lives,
and states that there are 100000 persons need
lessy and continuously ill in the United States
and that this condition might well be prevented
by strict attention to even the simplest hygienic
measures. He states also that tuberculosis alone
is responsible for 100000 persons being continu-
ally and that it is entirely possible that this
scourge be wiped out within one generation. ~
phoid alone costs the nation 50OOOOOO annually,
and this is a disease that can be wiped out by
attention to neglected details.
Conservation also pertains to the preparation OF
the soil for crops; to the selection of the seed
that will produce the best results; to the culture
and handling of the crops as to reduce expense
and increase returns. 1t has important applica-
ton to the selection and feeding of our
domestic animals so as to dispense with the ex-
pense of handling Improbable live stock and to
increase the income and profit of this branch
of agriculture 1t has equal application to the
q farm fertilizers.
Some of these matters have already been taken
up for consideration by our farmers in their or
CARNATIONS and in the farm press. Others are to
be presented at the meeting of the National Con-
servation Congress, and will be taken up by the
farmers all in due season. All in all, the matter
of conservation is securing firm hold on the
thought and interest of the American people

THE NEED OF THE HOUR

The BeIlingham Chamber of Commerce is dis
cussing ways and means OF securing manutac-
turing plants. 1t is considering means OF raising
subsidies to encourage such plants to locate in
that growing city. The same questions confront
other progressive cities of the state and are OF as
much importance to the farming population sur
rounding those cities as to those VINO dwell
therein
AS The Ranch has remarked before the estab-
lishment and development of manufactures is an
essential need of the Pacific Northwest. Fac
tories are needed both to supply the wants OF
the growing communities of enterprising citizens
by the transformation of abundant materials into
useful products and to build up an active home
market for the products of the forest the field,
the mine and the nearby waters. Through
varied line of properly conducted and located
factories, the mutual interests of town and coun-
try become thoroughly blended and inter-related
so that their best progress is made and true and
permanent prosperity is firmly established.
1t is through this we'll balanced development
that our country has ceased to be a subsidiary
dependency the WhimS and caprices OF foreign
monetary centers 1t is through the same line OF
development that the Central West has been
able to throw off the financial domination of New
York and to stand up and demand or Congress
attention to the needs of it's industrial and trans
portation interests. The same results will follow
in the wake of progress in the Pacific Northwest
if rightly balanced and directed The sources
of it's prosperity are marvellous and should not
be diverted into other and distant channels but
should be developed at home

Miss Anna G. Ward Vows She'll
Fight Essex Park Board
to a Finish.

N. Keen and her past Is one worthy Of
mention. She Is just the reverse Of
Miss Ward and her one aim in life Is
to be associated with strangers all the
while. She was bousekeeper to Lord
Abbenger at Valocky Castle, Scotland,
and also at the castle of a lord in
Ireland.
A glimpse into the Ward homestead
reveals a dilapidated- looking shack and
it Is said to contain wealth untold.
This was verified by a personal glimpse
of the rooms, for there are barrels OF
valuables put away in rooms which
are never allowed to be opened and into
which not even the servant has access.
The furniture is all valuable and there's
enough of it to furnish an entire city
block. Miss Ward was a belle in her
youth, but through some within she has
secluded herself from the outer world
and all her time is taken up in read
ing and looking after the wants of her
feline family.
Now, old and gray. Miss Ward has
appealed to the circuit courts, through
her attorney, to interfere with the con-
demnation proceedings which the park
commissioners are about to institute.
She Is estimated TO be worth about
800, 900. "In case that the commission
ers are successful" she said, they will
have to take me out by force, for I
simply will not get out. ! know that
the public is in sympathy with me and
will not allow an old woman to suffer
such insults"

not know what would become of her
and her other child If her husbands
injuries proved fatal.
This Is awful" h moaned. What
shall we do now? Why, 1t was only
this morning that 1 vas telling Joe
how good 1t was that his finger, which
had been smashed, was getting better,
And he was glad. too. Now, to think
that he is In the hospital and our baby
girl going TO be buried today"
She broke down again and wept, and
would not be comforted. even by her
aged mother, who told her that Heckel-
man had not been seriously hurt. and
hat before the day was over he would
be out of the hospital and at his home.
She would not believe it, and she ran
out and ~telephoned to the hospital; but
the physicians could not tell her very
much. They thought he would not die,
but one could never tell in these acct
lent cases, where half of the danger is
In the shock.
This is the second time that a smash
has occurred at the Hill Bread Com
pany's switch. Two years & a drill
1pgine crashed into some cars and its
tender pitched into the street.

as If to obey any of her commands. A
welcome extended to her cook, and the
task of eating, as Miss Ward puts it,
Is commenced.
Defes the Park Commission
The Essex County Park Commission
is experiencing difficulty in procuring
the remainder of a tract of land to
complete the new grounds that it
wishes to establish for the children in
the Down Neck section. Miss Ward
has resided at the Frederick street ad-
dress all her life, and refused to ac-
cept the money and all consideration
that the commission have offered her
to vacate. A sum said to be $12, 900 has
been offered, and she refused same.
Il will not leave this place, my dear
old homestead, if I carry the case to
the Supreme Court she declared. Il
understand that the men of the Park
Commission are all church members
and believe in the gospel. Now, If they
are churchmen, do you think 1t Is right
for them to try and put an old woman
out of the home-the only thing she
has dear to her-and compel her. with
her family (meaning the cats), to seek
new quarters. 1t will kill me, and
do not wish to leave this good old earth
as yet" She burst into ears.
"Why do you not go out and enjoy
life? You are wealthy and can afford
many luxuries."
II am a Doc woman" h replied
land nave not stepped over the thresh-
hold of that door in twenty years. The
outside world has no charms for me
and I am always content to remain in
doors with my pets, who are true, and
do not deceive me. You see, men .-o1
today are very deceitful, and I have
no confidence in them. / am not 9
man hater, but their company is moi
! desired about these premises"
Miss wards woman Friend.
The only female companion in the
| house beside Miss Ward is Mrs. Mary
