In pra;se of the Eskimos.

Commander Peary in the narrative
describing his discovery of the north
pole devotes a very long chapter to
the Eskimos, with whom he has had
intimate dealings for eighteen years.
He tells us that though they are saw
ages they are not savage; that though
they are without government they are
not lawless; that though they are I'M
educated they exhibit a remarkable
degree of intelligence. He assures US
that they have no religion, yet he
describes them as destitute of vice and
ready to share their last meal with the
hungry. He thinks it would be impos'
sible to Christianize them, but they al
ready possess the cardinal graces OF
faith. hope and charity, for without
them they could never survive the six
months night and the other rigors OF
their home"

How "Thon" Would Work.

"Thon" is the word which has been
suggested for use as an English pro-
noun Of common gender, a luxury
which the English language has thus
far had the fortitude to forego. 1t was
considered suitable for English be-
cause 1t came from the Greek. Its use
may be illustrated as follows:
II q parent desires to spank thon's
(his or her, as the case may b9 child
thon Che or she) should take thon (him'
her or IT. across thon's knee. Then
thon should remove thon's slipper, and
after explaining to the child the repre-
feasibility of thon's conduct thon
should apply the slipper to that por'
ton Of thon's anatomy which from
time immemorial has been dedicated to
that purpose.

beyond the view and sound of the

All summer long, from May till late
September or early October, there is
practically no rain, always gentle

refreshing, there are no mosquitoes,
no snakes, very few flies, no destruct

sultry heat, seldom any strong winds
and no severe storms, rarely any
tightening or thunder-in fact there
is nothing to fear and everything in
nature yields enduring pleasure.
Everywhere delightful camping

There is opportunity for yachting,

PEARS FOR WESTERN

| have been requested to write
something for The Ranch on the
varieties of pears adapted to Western

to say that pears of all kinds do we'll
in this part of the state. 1t is sur
prise to me that more pears are not
raised west of the Cascades. They
will not ripen quite so early as they
will in the hot, dry climate of We
natchee, Snake river, Walla Walla and
Yakima valley and possibly may not
sell quite SO high for the eastern
trade. Some pear grower in this Sec
ton could settle that point better
than [ The Sound cities and Alaska
consume many pears in the late sum-
mer and winter and | see no reason
why they should not be grown here.
The best all around pear any where
for money making is the Bartlett.
The Clapp's Favorite which is few
days earlier and quite good pear
does not sell as we'll as the Bartlett.
Flemish Beauty is a very prolific pear
but the quality is much inferior to
both the Bartlett and Clapp's. The
Idaho is big rough pear OF pretty
fair quality but it is too big and
coarse looking to sell very we'll. The
Clifford is very early pear getting
ripe with US iE July and the quality
is pretty good but it rots so quickly
when it begins to ripen that 1T spoils
before it can be sold. Good one day
it may be rotten the next.
When it comes to winter pears,
know nothing that can equal the
Winter Nelis in quality 1t is good

is bad When 1 ship the Nelis over
from my fruit ranch in the Yakima

on the Sound it may keep better,

Easter is big fine looking pear of coed
quality, the Tree is vigorous grower
and bears we'll. 1t does not keep long
when [ ship it from east of the Cas-
cades. 1t may keep longer if raised
on this side.
There are many other good pears
but with the ones named | am better
