HE SAVED THREE STATES.
Result Of Stormy Meeting In Oregon Territory
In 1e43.

A few words of hurried conversation between
two French settlers had important part IN
deciding the question whether the far northwest

ton, Oregon and Idaho were formed, should De-

governor Of Oregon, tells about it in his book.
Fifty Years in Oregon" and quotes from the
story of F. x. Matthew who saved the day for
the United States, says the Youths Companion.
On a cloudy May day in 1843 1902 settlers and
Hudson Bay trappers, coming from near ana
far, crowded into log building at Champoeg, and
held stormy meeting. The Americans stood for
an organized government and acquisition OF the
territory by the United States. The Hudson Bay
men stood as firmly opposed and when vote

Crop reports brought forward TO
the day of going to press are the most
encouraging to the Pacific Northwest
ever known. f. A. Huntley, state
commissioner of horticulture, who
Just returned from Eastern Washing
ton says that fruit crops of the state
will excel by one-third any crop ever
harvested and will bring to the fruit
growers fully S15, 10000 Equally as
optomistic are the returns from the
grain sections. The last report from
Walter G. Paine, second vice presi
dent of the Spokane q Inland Rail
road, in a very careful estimate gives
the states of Washington, Oregon and
Idaho 70, 600, 600 bushels of wheat or
Is, 600, 600 more bushels than last
years crop and 5, 900, 900 greater than
ever harvested before. Unless some
unforeseen trouble arises, the Pacific
Northwest is going to be the most
prosperous section of the United
States next year.

The Ranch criticized, in a recent
issue, the unbusiness like methods
which were shown at the burning OF
the Cheney Normal school, when the
loss was practically complete, on ac-
count of no insurance being carried.
We have since been informed that
the governor and his administration
we're not at fault because the build
ing was not insured. but the fault
lay with the legislature which did
not make an appropriation for this
purpose. This, however, does not
excuse the unbusiness like methods
of our state. No sensible business
man attempts to carry on business
without reasonable amount Of IN
surance. The present state ad
ministration, however, has taken a
broader view of state institutions and
few frame buildings are being erect
ed.

only drawback was that in some places
the ground was too wet to be worked
and weeds gave the farmer a hard
battle In the third week of May
occurred three among the hottest
days ever recorded in that month and
vegetation made a wonderful growth.
The only damage done was the op-
portunity afforded for forest fires and
considerable damage was done and
uneasiness felt until Sunday the Goth.
when pouring rain began which kept
up for several days resulting in
quenching all fires and again filling
the soil with moisture.
The grain crops we're never better
and east of the mountain fruit crops
are reported to be the finest ever
known at this time of the year. The
June drop is now in progress and the
result will soon be known, but from
all appearances there will be an i'm
mense amount of money spent in
thinning the crops in Eastern Oregon
and Washington. On the westside
fruit has not set as strong as expect
ed. Many orchards of pears, prunes,
plums and cherries will produce a
much lighter crop than was promised
two weeks ago. The cold April rains
we're undoubtedly the cause of this.
The berry crop, however, seems to be
far above the average. The present
outlook is that Washington will pro-
duce the largest crop of it's history.

GOOD ROADS PROGRAM.

The executive committee OF Wash
ington Good Roads Association met
in Spokane last week and took up the
matter of good road improvement in
the state of Washington. After a
great deal of study they have recon-
mended the building of three great
highways. The first is known as the
Pacific Highway and extends from
Blaine, the Northern boundary OF the
state, through the cities of Belling-
ham, Everett, Seattle, Tacoma.
Olympia, Chehalis, Kalama to Van
couver, Washington, a distance of $50
miles.
The second is to be known as the
Sunset Highway. This extends from
the Idaho line through Spokane,
Davenport, Waterville, Wenatchee
and across the Snoqualmie Pass to
Seattle, a distance of 400 miles.
The third great highway is known
as the Inland Empire Highway and
extends from Spokane through Pome-
roy, Walla Walla and Pasco to Ellens
burg, a distance of $50 miles.
This would mean 1000 miles of hard
surface roads in the state. The cost
of these roads they estimate at ten
million dollars and they recommend
ed that this be raised by making a
three mill road levy which would
raise about $3, 900, 600 year while the
roads were being constructed. They
recommended that IS per cent OF the
entire state fund be used on these
highways. The only objection that
The Ranch has to such program OF
road building is the fact that wise
system of road building has not yet
been worked out in this state. We
are still in the experimental stage.
We believe that the state convicts
and prisoners in every county should
be put on state roads. They would
be much better off so far as their
health is concerned; they would be
more contented at work; it would re-
duce the cost of their maintenance
and in a few years give the state
magnificent system of roads.

PREMIUM LISTS RECEIVED.

MUM lists or the dlHerent counties
of the state and is glad to note that
county fairs are becoming better
established every year. The premiums
offered this year are much more
numerous and greater in amount than
ever offered before showing that
county fairs are becoming firmly
established and appreciated by the
farmers and businessmen of the
several counties.
We had occasion in our last issue
to speak of the splendid premium
list just issued by the Puyallup Valley
Fair Association. This was not only
valuable as a premium list but had
some we'll written and valuable arti-
cles of information for the farmers.
1t is one of the best.,T premium lists
we have ever seen. Copies can be
had by addressing John Mills. Secre-
tary.
This week we received the Clarke
County Fair premium list. This is
only the third annual fair presented
by the farmers and business men of
Clarke county but it shows great ad-
vance over the last two years. 1t
looks as though this was one of the
firmly established fairs of the state.
This year the counties of Cowlitz and
Skamania are joining Clark county
and the fair is given under the
auspices of the three counties. The
fair will be held at Vancouver Septem-
Der 9th to 18th, where excellent
grounds have been prepared. Any
one desiring information regarding
this Association should address the
secretary, George p. Larson, Van
couver, Wash.
The.State Fair has also issued it's
annual premium list and is offering
larger number of valuable premiums
than ever before. This fair, as usual,
will be held at the State fair grounds
at North Yakima and an especially
strong program has been arranged.
Probably the most advance this fair
has made is the school exhibit depart
ment. A special premium list is to
be published later, showing some
$4,000 has been set aside for this pur-
pose. The fair management will also
conduct an egg laying contest with
I'll. H. Collier, the we'll known poultry
man, as superintendent. All pens
must be in Yakima by July 18th
and the contest will close September
Goth. They are making special effort
to get list of live stock entries.
This fair is to be held the week
from the 23rd to the 28th OF Septem-
Der and we believe new record will
be made this year at the State Fair.
Copies of this list can be had by ad.
dressing Fl. B. Averill, Secretary.
We are also in receipt of the Inter
state Fair premium list. This has
grown to be one of the great fairs of
the Pacific Northwest, and is held
this year from September Both to
October 9Th, at Spokane. The list of
premiums this year seems to be fuller
than ever before and the program of
sports is especially attractive. No
great fair has grown faster in promi-
hence than this fair, because it has
had the undivided support of the
leading businessmen of SnOkana
