WHEAT YIELD GOOD
L. j. Coonan says that the Badger
Mountain District Averaged IS
Bushels per Acre.

l.. J. Coonan, who is farming three
quarters of a section OF wheat land
on Badger mountain, states that the
yield for the entire district was better
than the growers generally expected.
The total yield will average about Is
bushels per acre. and the wheat
growers on Badger mountain are'very
we'll satisfied with the results, con-
siderins the fact that there has baen
no rainfall since last spring.

eve have received more inquiries
and have sold more land during the
last six weeks than in any like period
of time in our history" This is the
statement made this morning to a re-
porter Of the Daily World by Henry
c. Ewing, manager of the Seattle real
estate firm of Calhoun, Denny &
Ewing.
Mr. Ewing arrived on the boat this
morning with his son Junior, return
ing from visit of two days to his
friend, c. P. Bissett, owner of Kopa
Chuck lodge, the famous ranch on
Lake Chelan. Calhoun, Denny &
Ewing is one of the leading agencies
of the northwest, and has been very
successful in rapidly selling one large
irrigation project after another.
Their operations have been confined
mostly to the Yakima valley up to
this time They have recently taken
the exclusive sale of a O,0OO-acre
project on the Columbia near North
port, 80 miles north of Spokane. This
will be placed on the market at once
with a big selling campaign which
will be carried on mostly in the east.
All indications are that the north
west will witness a great influx of
buyers during the coming eight
months" continued the Seattle man.
"Our office at North Yakima has
been crowded with homeseekers for
the past three weeks as it never has
before. Many of these come in an
swer to advertising done in the east
some time ago. Correspondence is
pouring in from eastern people who
say they are on the way or are soon
to start.
IF Wenatchee is not getting its
share of the immigration now coming
into this state" aided Mr.. Ewing.
something is wrong. For several
years it has been very noticeable to
me that Wenatchee is always better
advertised than North Yakima. Espe-
cially at the exhibitions is this the
case. Yakima valley has been in a
sort Of lethargy. The people there
knew they had the goods and it has
been hard for them to realize the ne
cessity for publicity. Now they are
waking up and greater effort is now
being made than ever before.
Perhaps Wenatchee may need to
learn the same lesson. The minute a
community begins to think We're it,
that moment it has started to retro
grade. The impression has come to
me that Wenatchee is quite satisfied
with itself. If this is true, or par
TALLY true, it is ample explanation
why your real estate men are not sat
isfied with conditions"
Mr.. Ewing was asked what is the
method which his firm will adopt for
the sale of the Northport project. He
explained that corps of solicitors
accompanied with stereopticon outfits
will work almost entirely in towns OF
5000 and less all through the states
OF the Mississippi valley. He has not
enjoyed as good results in the large
cities as in the smaller towns.

THE SENATORIAL SITUATION.

THE SENATORIAL SITUATION.
torial contest in its present aspect
without combining a sense of humor
with an appreciation Of the tremen-
dous significance of its outcome must
belong to the type of the most
straight-faced Puritan. For weeks
the acknowledgement, the organ Of
John L. Wilson, has been charging
Judge Burke with being a democrat
whose candidacy is supported by the
Seattle Times, a democratic newspa-
per, and now in order to strengthen
the standpat cause and bring about
the election of a Simon pure repub-
lican, Mr.. Wilson withdraws from
the contest.
From the standpoint of the poll
tician the withdrawal of Mr.. Wilson
simplifies the situation. From the
standpoint of the voter it perplexes
it. But the final outcome Of the con-
test will be settled by the voters and
not by the politicians.
If by his withdrawal Mr.. Wilson
hopes to give the senatorship to Sc
attic, then from his standpoint the
interests of Seattle are paramount to
the interests of the state. Whether
the cities on the coast outside of Sc
attic will stand for the practice of
Seattle hogging it alr' remains to
be seen. In view of the stand which
the Post-Intelligencerh has taken with
reference to Judge Burke and the
serious charges which it has made
it can consistently support his can
didacy should 1t now decide to do so.
AS to the candidacy of Tacoma S
candidate, General Ashton, the with
drawal of Mr.. Wilson will have a
tendency to strengthen it. Inasmuch
as charges of democratic learings
have been made against both Judge
Burke and Judge Poindexter, those
voters, Mr.. Wilson included, who in
sist on having candidate whose re-
publicanism is untainted have the al
tentative only of voting for Mr.. Ash
ton on the presumption that the
withdrawal of Mr.. Wilson included
that of his man Friday, Mr.. Humph-
ries, also. '.t-
The withdrawal of Mr.. Wilson
from the contest will not affect ma
terially the fortunes of Mr.. Pofndex-
ter. It's effect will be to bring more
clearly into relief the issue of re-
dictionary and progressive republi-
canism. On one side is arrayed the
corporation candidates, on the other
the candidate of the people. The is
sue is, shall the people rule? Judge
Poindexter is a young man in the
vigor of his manhood who had the
hardihood to risk his political future
in fighting to the last ditch the
strongly intrenched Cannon machine
which now the national administra-
ton has repudiated. He stood side
by side with Dolliver, Beverage, La
Toilette, Bristow, Clapp, Cummins,
Murdoch, Norris, Hayes and other
progressive republicans in insisting
that Roosevelt principles be written
into the laws passed in the recent
session of congress. And working
hand in hand with this valiant band
against tremendous odds he had the
satisfaction of forcing the Aldrich-

opinion of the speaker, this ratio
ought to be reversed. The purpose
of the Laymen's Missionary Move
ment is not to raise money, but to
educate the laymen so that they Will
become interested in the work. When
this is accomplished, the promoters of
the movement feel that plenty of
funds with which to carry the mes
sage that God is King, to all parts OF
the earth will be forthcoming. At
the convention to be held in Daven-
port, April l to 8. some of the lead
ing missionary workers of the world
will be present. Mr.. Stirling asked
every man in the congregation to at
tend the convention and to become
interested in the good work to the
extent that he will give OF his
wealth to bear the message to all
the earth"
Systematic giving to the Laymen' s
Missionary fund, Mr.. Stirling said.
would accomplish the task. Little
denials in the way of the small com
forts of life with the money so saved
deposited in the missionary box
would bear the message that God is
King to all the people of the earth.
There were FIVE things given by the
speaker that man, woman and child
might put aside just once to make up
his or her weekly contribution to the
fund for the accomplishment of this
great undertaking-one nickel cigar,
a Sunday paper, a street car ride, an
admission to a nickel theatre and
package of candy. These things
seemed trivial and yet the amount so
expended given by the individual
each week regularly would evange-
lie the world in a generation. Yet
in the face of this there are people
who feel that they are doing their
duty in giving to the Lord what they
would not offer to a sleeping car por-
ter.
1t was time. the speaker said, when
the men were given chance to do
their part and not leave it entirely to
the women.

WILSON AND HIS POLICY
Governor-elect of New Jersey Promises
Just Administration.

Il feel very deeply the great honor
the people of New Jersey have conferred
upon me-" said Governor elect Wilson
at noon Wednesday Il feel quite as
deeply the responsibility it imposes upon
me and upon my colleagues on the Dem
ocratic ticket. | shall, of course, put
every power | possess into the service
of the people as Governor of the state.
1t will be my pleasure and privilege TO
serve them not as the head of a party,
but us the servant of all classes and of
all interests, in an effort to promote the
common welfare.
Il regard the result of the election as
splendid vindication of the conviction
of the Democrats of this state that the
people desired to turn away from per
sonal attacks and party manoeuvres,
and base their political choices upon
great questions of public policy and just
administration"
DIR. Wilson received telegram of con-
9ratulations from the defeated Repub-
lican candidate, V. NJ. Lewis. 1t read:
Accept my heartiest congratulations
May your administration be a most sue
cessful and happy one.'
Mr.. Wilson said he had not received
other kilograms of interest to the public
that he wished to give out Il wired
congratulations to my four fellow gov
ernors-Foss, Harmon, Dix and Bald
win," he said.
