LOOK OUT FOR sEATTLEl

1t Expects to Beat Chicago i'm Ten
and New York In Twenty Years.
| Seattle people thoroughly believe that
they will have New York bested in size
and in commercial Importance in a
few more years, probably two decades.
| There are dreamerS ON the sound who
religiously believe that some day the
shores of the entire upper reaches will
be one gigantic municipality formed by
throwing the neighboring cities into
the melting pot
| Already Tacoma, which has taken
in several small towns to double her
population, is pushing her limits up
close TO the edge of the orbit encsm-
| passing greater Seattle When the
two cities ultimately get winded in the
contest over whether Mount Rainier
shall be called by that becoming name
or by the sonorous Indian appellation
of Mount Tacoma they may mutually
| get together, says the Bookkeeper, and
discuss the benefits of consolidation or
| annexation.
Twenty years ago Seattle was a
small, unpretentious village. When the
| Alaskan gold strikes were made it
| was nothing more than a small sea-
port. To-day it is city of nearly
100000 souls and one that is doubling
it's population increase annually. Seat
tie people will gravely tell you, with
out smile too, that Seattle will be
bigger than Chicago in ten years.
| If you smile askance you are likely
| to get torrent of abuse. This OPP
timism is what they call Seattle spirit.
a thing which is commended in ma
! tive, but which is sometimes looked
upon by strangers as one might look
upon an ordinary CRATER.
Ones dollars go quickly in Seattle.
But one must remember above all
things that Seattle spirit is the proper
thing if he is going to live there and
breathe their atmosphere. 1t is the
thing which is building up more big
cities on the sound than are being
reared on any other body of water any
| where.
Seattle, like Rome, was built on
seven hills. Seattle people objected to
| hill climbing, and the city engineer,
R. H. Thompson, an engineer of ma
! tional reputation, devised a plan to
| remove the range. 1t is being washed
| by a hydraulic water system into the
| bay, the project being known as the
regrade system and paid for by the
property owners on the principle that
their property is being enhanced in
| value At first many owners refused
| to enter into the scheme, but as the
hills were washed from beneath their
| neighbors, leaving the homes of the
obdurate ones standing high in the
air, all gradually came around except
| ing two very hard-headed owners who
| now have to climb hundred feet or
more to reach their houses.

ON BOARD A LEPER SHIP
Three thousand Afflicted Were
Transferred to Philippine Iso-
lation Pen.
sT0E.Y OF AMERICAN SAILOR.
Heartrending Scenes When Rela.
tives and Friends Attempted to
Rescue the Victims.

"Alf" Jorgenson, second mate of the
American ship Atlas. in port from the
far east, is back in his native land
after an absence of three years, with
thrilling narrative of his experience
during that time, says the New York
Evening Telegram Jorgenson halls
from Seattle and shipped on a sailing
vessel from San Francisco three years
ago. He landed in the Philippines, and
there attached himself to one of the
numerous coast guard steamers main
tanned by the government to patrol the
coasts of the islands and keep down
the piratical Moros, whose main de-
sire in life is to murder the pearl
divers and destroy the native indus
tries of the Philippines.
After year on various coast guard
steamers doing patrol duty said
young Jorgcnson to-day, Il was trans
ferred to the Basilian, also a coast
guard vessel, which, however, had
been detailed to transfer lepers from
the various ports of the Philippines to
Culuon island. For three months we
transferred hundreds of the lepers to
the isolation pen on Culuon.
While the American officers used
every kindness and gentleness in the
work of taking away the unfortunates
from the villages and towns to the
lonely island, they often had to use
force to prevent rescues by friends
and relatives. Sometimes the scenes
were heartrending when families had
to be separated because there was no
room for the lepers to take their kin
to Culuon.
I'm many instances the Moros, un-
der the pretext of assisting the friends
and relatives OF the lepers, would at
tack us, and on one occasion a nu.
merous force surrounded the Basilian,
but were repulsed.
"As leprosy is not contagious to the
European or American, none of us
were afraid to handle the lepers.
Three months of this was enough for
al of us on the Basilian, and to a
man we asked for a transfer to an
other steamer Capt T. A. Hillgrov,
who, by the way, is New York man,
was in command of the Basilian All
in all, we transferred about 5000
lepers in the three months we were on
this detail. l quit the leprosy transfer

Don't Guess--Know.


Lots of men miss it by not trying
to find out how much their hogs cost
them to raise. A man in Michigan
runs no such risk. This is the way he
told it to me:
AT the beginning of the week
drive my hogs on the platform and
weigh them. l have scales close by
the yard so that can do this without
too much trouble Then | weigh all
the feed l give them and figure up
the cost for the week. At the end
of the week l drive the hogs on again
and weigh them. The difference is
what they have made me in the week
in return for the feed | have given
them. If TIE results are not what
they ought to be, l change my feed
to bring a profit"
THERE'S business for you. No guess
work about that While we may not
all do thiS each week, we may keep
careful account of the cost of the
feed we use for a given number of
weeks, say, and then, by getting the
weight of the hogs when sold, and fig
uring up the money they bring us,
we may get pretty close to the actual
profit or loss. / am satisfied that if
we did that for single season it
would make US open our eyes and set
us to doing things on a more business
like base.
The day is coming when we will
have to bring all our farm work down
to a system. The haphazard method
is always a dangerous and a very ex-
pensiye method That is why so many
farmers do not get ahead much. They
never know; they guess. Let's know,
not guess, fellow farmers.-Agricul-

Number of Mich Cows.

The number of mich cows given by
the United States government report
is 21,S01,00 being $1,000 more than
in the previous year. There has been
a steady Increase in the value of mich
cows per head, which is an indication
of the greater interest taken in the
dairy industry in more recent years.
In 1910 a mich COW is said to be
worth $3.50, while in 1909 the price
was 1926, and in 1908 $30.67. The
total valuation of milch cows is placed
at $3.50, 3OS,O0O.
New York heads the list of mich
cows with LII 900; Iowa follows with
100000; Wisconsin, 100000; Penn
sylvania, 100000; Illinois, 1,232,O00;
Texas, 1,197,0 900, and Minnesota, 1885,
900. The smallest number (19,00O) is
found in Nevada The highest valua-
ton per head is in New Jersey, where
the figures are S47.50.

pro,action from stable Filth.

Filth on the udder and hind quar-
tiers of the cows is not only unsightly
but unsanitary both for the COWS and
those who use the milk produced from
such animals. There are several de-
vices for preventing a COW from lying
down in her own filth.
The most common is the gutter be-
hind the animal for receiving the drop
pings. Another plan is to place 2x4
plank across the stall at the rear
about even with the cows hind feet.
When she lies down she will always
lie in front of this board where the
droppings fall. The floor should slope
from front to back.
