LAND TRADE IS
 GETTING BETTER

State Land Commissioner Dye reports that the receipts of his otflce for the month of August were the greatest on record, amounting to about $6,00O The months since then have been al most as good, and on the average business has been getting better all the time. The annual re celpts of the office are amounting to S40,000 to S45,00O, and under the present arrangement the ac- tual running expense of the office Is about S475 month.
 The receipts from the Land of. flee go into tbe state capitol fund and the salaries and expenses of the office are paid out of the gen. eral revenue fund. The law pro- vldes for a commissioner, dep- uty commissioner and four clerks. The last Legislature provided for the salaries of all, but the governor vetoed the item of salaries for four clerks. Com missioner Dye thereupon dis charged two clerks, and is bor- rowing the money with which to pay the salaries of the remaining two, trusting to the next legisla- ture to make up the deficit. He says that his present force is do. ing the work, because the vol, ume of work has been greatly reduced, and only the actual re- quirements of the office at the time are being met. A great deal of filing and other clerical work that will have to be done later, is being permitted to ac- cumulate because their is no one to do it.
 The state now has in round figures about 350,O0O acres of land on it's books, and the in- crease from forfeited lands at annual tax sales about keeps pace with the annual sales.

A Woman 0rChardiSt

The most significant and per> haps the most cheerful fact that has come from the east relative to the land show which has just closed in New York is to the eff feet that a woman has been awarded the honor of being the the leading orchardist of t h e world.
 Mrs. Ella D. Rowland of Zillah Wash, was awarded this honor, and in recognition of her excel. lence in the field she has adopted she was presented with $500 in gold and 5000 silver trophy cup. The gold prize was f.om President Howard Elliott of the Northern Pacific Railway. while the trophy cup was the gift of Mr. A. c. Hananer of Spokane.
 There are positions occupied by women today which are viewed askance by the majority of men who profess to entertain the fear that woman, by her ann bition and energy, is standing in her own light because she is doing the work that men are bet ter qualified to do.
 There can be no such objection, however, to the impulse which takes woman back to the land.
 Adam and Eve were equally of the garden; and ever since the world began, woman has held her own in those patient and beautiful processes by which the cal tn is made fruitful.
 Mrs. Rowland of the far Pa citic Coast offers message O. good cheer to women everywere, in that she has excelled in wholly modern avocation, and has held a light for the feet oi women everywhere.

baby with US. After being in Ireland
few days q nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to doc
tor who gave US medicine for him.
The trouble started In the form of a
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face. at different times. It
frritated. and he would scratch. it with
all his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and we were
afraid 1t would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when We reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change of food
and climate. and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better. and 1t used to
itch and burn at night so bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with it at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised US to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement, and baby
is completely cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. We have no fur
ther trouble with baby's skin. Moth
ing stopped the itching, and allowed
baby to sleep but Cuticura Soap and
