Growth of Washington

''The rapid growth of the state OF
Washington in the last 10 years
serves to indicate how attractive this
state has become to the homeseeker
and the home-builder. In 1900 the
population of the state was 500, 900;
to-day we have population of 1,250,
900 while the assessed value of all
property has increased from $3.50,
600, 900 to $3.50, 100000. There are
now 45O 900 acres of land under ditch
in this state, not all cultivated by any
means, and there are now projects
projected that will give water to
800, 900 acres more, 327, 900 acres OF
which will come under government
projects. The irrigable lands are not
confined to the Wenatchee, the Yak
ina, the Spokane and the Okanogan
valleys. Throughout the length OF
the Columbia the SAME results can be
obtained, in Stevens county, in the
extreme northeast, to Klichtat, IN
the south. The same conditions ex-
list along the Snake and Spokane riv-
ers and particularly fine orchard
district is now f1ourishing around
the city of Spokane, one Of the chief
cities of the state, with a population
Of 125, 900 and the greatest railroad
center in the state. The state is pro
vided unusually well with transpor-
tation facilities. It has more than
1000 miles of steam road and SIX
transcontinental lines enter and ira
verse the state. In addition. inter
urban lines radiate from the prln-
cipal centers throughout the sur.
rounding county, adding $50 miles OF
electric roads to the steam. "-Gov'
Hay, in the Ranch.

box, the first layer is started with
three apples and the second with
two apples, and SO on alternately.
This pack takes the place Of the
straight pack of 112 apples to the
box.
In the box of 125 apples, there
are twenty-five apples in the layer,

of 113 apples.
In the box of $50 apples, there
are thirty apples in the layer, six in

In the box of 163 apples, there
are thirty-th apples in the first
layer, thirty-two in the second.
thirty-three in the fourth, and
thirty three in the fifth, or top layer.
In packing this box. the start Of
each layer in just the same as in the
box of 113 apples, the box Of 1873
apples, or the box of 163 apples.
In the box of Its apples there are
IS apples in the layer, seven apples
in the row.
In the box of 1873 apples, there
are 33 apples in the first layer, 80
in the second layer, 33 in the fifth

the start Of each layer is just the
same as in the box of 113 apples,
the box Of 1873 apples, or the box Of
163 apples.
In the box Of 1913 apples. there
are six tiers of thirty-three apples.
Buyers and distributors of fruit
favor the diagonal method because
it does away with one apple resting
squarely on another, as in the
straight pack. By experience, they
have learned that peaches and apples
packed in diagonal style carry better
in wagons and cars, and reach the
consumer in an undamaged condi-
tion.

Gated q few months ago upon 100
acres of sage brush land under one
of the big irrigation bitches in
southern Idaho, near Shoshone. The
first cost of the. land is nominal
only fifty cents per acre, one half
payable at the time Of filing and
half when final proof is made and
title obtained. Before final proof
at least five acres must be placed in
cultivation on each 40 acre tract, a
good house of certain dimensions
must be built and some other rea-
sonable conditions complied with.
The perpetual water right costs
$500 per acre, payable upon easy
terms. The land when well irri-
gated produces immense crops Of
grain grasses, fruit and vegetables.
It is particularly well adapted to
the growing of alfalfa and $50
bushels of potatoes per acre is said
to be a common yield, The eleva-
tion is about $500 feet and the cli-
mate healthful and delightful.

WHEN LlONS EYES ARE KIND
