The proper time to cultivate
land is before the crop is planted.
Then there is nothing in the way

manner is, as a rule, always up

1t has been shown from eXpe-
rience and extensive observation
the man who owns and works a
small farm with his own hands
and gathers his crops with his
own force is more successful, as
a rule, than he who farms more
extensively and with hired help.
The cause is not far to seek.
Hired help never takes as much
interest, nor does as well, as he
who owns the poperty operated,
and in case of failure, he who
hires has his help to pay, which
usually throws him benin d
financially, while he who does
his own work only loses his labor
and, in case he is successful, his
work is all clear gain, while he
who hires must pay his hands
out of the proceeds of the crop, a
no inconsiderable item of ex.
pense, frequently absorbing all
the profits.

EXCURSION ON ". Y. & n. Ry
More Than Hundred Take Advantage of
The Opportunity FOR an Outing.
Everybody Enjoyed the
Trio

Promptly at 9 o'clock last Sunday
morning an engine and two cars pulled
up at the foot of Ninth street where q
hundred of the business men of Leav-
enworth with several officials of the
Great Northern Ry were waiting to &c
on the promised excursion to the Bea-
yer creek divide, between fourteen and
fifteen miles from this place.
The train was in charge Of Engineer
R. J. Wynne and Conductor E. A.
Wood. The engine was the new one
received a short time ago, none oi
your little dinkey affairs, but a large
powerful machine. The cars were
flats fixed up for the occasion and
made very comfortable.
The trip to the summit Of the di-
vide was made in SIS minutes and was
by everyone pronounced most enjoy
able. The scenery along the route,
something over fourteen miles, is in
spring and delightful. Substantial
ranch homes surrounded by green
fields, with wooded hillsides for a back
ground formed most pleasing per
spective. An hour was spent on the
summit from which a magnificent view
of the Wenatchee and Chewawa river
valleys may be had. To the north,
some "a miles the lofty snow covered
Cascade range, little to the right the
less prominent Entiat mountains. We
had pointed out to US Red Mountain
where extensive mining operations are
carried on. When you look at it you
come to the conclusion that it is called
Red Mountain because it is white,
which is a perfectly satisfactory reason.
Lake Wenatchee can not be seen from
this point, the view being obstructed
by high ridge, but you can see Dirty
Face moautain, at the foot of which
lies the lake. The summit is just
about half way between the lake and
Leavenworth. Track laying will be
DELAYED for a short time on account oil
several trestles to be built, some ol
them OF considerable height and length.
Numerous were the expressions ol
regret that the road was not completed
to the lake. When the road is COM
pleted to the lake, during the summer
months at least, it will be immensely
popular with the entire population o.
the Wenatchee Valley. When the
track is once in good condition and
the road bed settled, the distance be-
tween here and the lake can be Gov
cred in an hour and a half. Leaven'
worth people and people from lowe
down the valley will make up excursion
parties every Sunday during the sum
mer. The road is also sure to do con
siderable freight traffic when completed
