This is not news. The American

Great interest and activity is
manifested among a certain class of
real estate men in the Evergreen
State, who seem to be a great deal
more interested in the development
OF the western part of Canada than
they are in that of their own State
OF Washington. Some of these men
are of the manner born and it
would appear as reasonable that they
would naturally feel greater inter-
est in the development of their own
commonwealth than in that of any
other place in the wide world. The
work of these men can only have one
effect, namely, to discourage home
seekers with the possibilities and op-
pOrtunities afforded by Washington
State, while. in fact, there are TO-
day greater advantages to be pos
sessed by people locating in this
State than may be found in any
other of the Union. These agents"
say. in their voluminous advertise
ments, of the wonderful soil of AL
berta. N. W. T., Canada, how many
bushels of onions and potatoes can
be produced by it and expiate upon
the fine climate-forgetting to men
tion that in the winter it gets SO
cold that it would freeze the North
Pole, and even the ice surrounding
it, until the pole itself would burst
and split, while the ice surrounding
it could be used as shaved ice for
iced drinks without any labor what
ever. as it would be already pre-
pared for use by Alberta's winter
climate and even give some space to
the splendid schools. church accom-
modatiOns and excellent sassiety
and many other things which possess
drawing property in order to in
duce our people and people of other
States to take chances in Canada-

disadvantages which they will find
far overbaiance those which exist in
Washington State or any other CON-
monwealth OF the United States.
There are some mountains in Wash
ington and also some valleys-farm-
ing country. as well as in Canada.
BY this it may be seen that all the
land in Washington State is not
marvelOusly fertile-as it is in the
Alberta, Canada. country, according
to these real estate agents" who
l am speaking about-neither is it
level. 1t is. however, of just such
character as the modern agricultur-
ist and horticulturist, who might
wish to engage in those lines after
the all around manner, would desire,
and which would render their bust
ness a success. There are thousands
of acres Of land in this State which
only need be irrigated and cultivated
upon scientific principles. in order
to become as fertile and as produc-
tive as any soil in Canada, or the
world, for that matter. See the re-
suits o. irrigation in the Yakima
country for proof of what l say. and
other sections of this State. Wash
