LETTER FROM SEATTLE.
SEVENTH GRADE PUPIL DE-
SCRIBES CITY AND STATE.
One of Series of Letters Exchanged
Between Pupils of DEBORAH
and Seattle.

During the past few weeks the
pupils of the seventh grade of De-
corah and Seattle, Wash, have
been exchanging letters for instruc-
ton and improvement in letter
writing, and just to show what a
seventh grade pupil can do, we
print the following letter received
last week:
Seward School,
Seattle, Wash.
March 5, 1909.
Dear Sir:
| would like to draw your atten-
ton to Seattle, the metropolis of
the west, with it's beautiful sur
rounding country and magnificent
buildings. The country surround
ing Seattle is fine farming and
timber land Orillia, Auburn,
O'Brien and Sumner have fine farm
ing lands.
In the White River Valley and
Snoqualmie Valley there is mostly
dairying Skagit county is a great
wheat country and in some parts
they raise 125 bushels to the acre.
Puyallup is famous for its berries,
-raspberries and blackberries be-
ing the most important. These are
just few of the hundreds of pro-
ducts. There is never poor crop
or failure in growth in Washington.
Every county west of the Cas-
cades has fine timber land, and in
some places there is in a quarter
section from 100000 to $4,000
600 feet of lumber. Fir, cedar,
hemlock and spruce are the most
important woods. They get fine
coal in Benton, a suburb of Seattle,
and other places through the state
there is mining but the mines have
not been worked very much. There
is some gold, silver and copper in
these mines, but they are yet un-
developed.
There are fine fisheries on Puget
Sound and crab and shrimp fish
cries at Dungeness. They take the
crabs and shrimps as soon as they
are caught and put them in boiling
water. If they waited until the
crab was dead it would be unfit to
eat. After they have been in the
water they are sent to large cities
and put on the market.
Now there is going TO be a big
fair here in Seattle called the Alas
ka-Yukon-Pacific Exposition and
that will show you some of the
great products of the state of Wash
ington. Now you must come and
see for yourself and be convinced.
The fair is built so that it is on
the edge of Lake Washington. Most
of the states and foreign countries
will be represented at the fair. 1t
can be reached easily and there
will be fine car service to the
grounds.
There are six high schools and
ga grammar schools, so you see
there is no lack of education for the
children.
There will be boating and swim
ming and amusements of every de-
scription at the fair. The street for
amusement and principal street is
called PAY Streak"
1t is wonderful the Improvements
that are being done. 1t is very hill
ly and in many places they have cut
these hills down making it level.
The streets are paved in most plac-
es and they have cement side walks
all over.
The Fair will be the finest ever
given. Won't you come and see it?
Yours respectfully,
HUGO SLETTENGREN.

Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak 1t needs help;
you must help 1t by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.

But this food must be digested,
and 1t must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
