Senator's Martin and Swanson
Discuss Probable Appointments
With Secretary McAdoo.
Especial to Tho Times Dispatch ]

IL.
Washington, u. c., October 3l.-A
visit which Senator'S Martin and Swan
son made to tho Treasury Department.
to-day. at which time they discussed
with Secretary McAdoo. il is under
stood. tho appointments of Peyton ST.
Clair and Il. l.. G. Moncurc. to be col
lectors of internal revenue for the two
Virginia districts, and Norman Il. Ham
ilton for collector OF customs, gave
rise TO considerable speculation as TO
whether some good Federal plums
would not be dropping soon for the
'raithfur' in Virginia, who have walt
cd patiently for something to come
their way. An hour was spent with
Secretary McAdoo, but after the con-
ference neither of the Virginia Sena-
tors seemed inclined to take the pub
lie into confidence regarding what
TRANSFERRED. II is known, however. that
IT may not be much longer until IL
number Of Virginia appointments will
be m;ide. There have been good rea-
sons for not Shaking the plum-tre
IN Virginia very vigorously up to the
present time. but If information which
IL now available here counts for any
thing. the list OF nominations sent to
the Senate soon will contain the names
Of several Virginia aspirants
In Virginia, as elsewhere, il has
been tho purpose OF the President to
have all tn. congressman and tho two
senators come together and agree upon
the appointecs whenever this wns pos
Siblc. The same thing has been done
~ other states with good results. When
delegation would be divided and it's
members were told that nothing would.
be foi Incoming until such division was
healed, the result has frequently been
beneficial Tho men who want tho
places have been eager tn have nll the
members oC their delegations agreo SO
that something might be accomplished.
To- days visit TO the Treasury is
vicwod by those who know tho Vir-
Ginia situation TO DO of considerable
Significance, and although the Sena-
tors are inclined to say little concern
ing what may be looked for In the
ncar future. II is entirely probable that
tho new men for the positions OF col
lectors OF Internal revenue and Gus
toms, as we'll as tho district attorneys.
may be hlled at an early date. At least

Professor Tormey, under the au-
thority of the state agricultural de-
partment and with the assistance of
the state college and the Western
Washington experiment station, has
been doing some notable work in the
school for farmers which have been
given in all parts of the state during
the past two months. This is prob
ably the most practical work that has
ever been done for the farmers Of the
state and in nearly every section
great inter est was manifest. In King
county the lectures we're not as we'll
attended as was hoped, but in Lewis
and Skagit counties there was
splendid gathering of farmers who
took great interest during the en-
tire week in which the lectures we're
given. We believe that in another
year the attendance will be doubled.
Being practically new thing this
year the people were unprepared to
take advantage of the splendid OPP
portunities presented.

active and it is said have assurances
that large tracts of logged off lands
in Lewis county can be made avail
able. In Chehalis county the Hump
tulips river valley, one of the richest
in the state, has been investigated by
Mr.. Van Zanten and he is said to
have been greatly pleased. The Hol-
landers are a class of citizens the
state could we'll afford to make spe-
cial efforts to locate. They are natur-
al dairymen, industrious and econ
omical and would soon become tax
payers. 1t is hoped the owners of
logged-off lands will meet Mr.. Van
Zanten half way, and not boost the
price of land, in order that a colony
of high class citizens may become
residents of this state. Our logged
off lands have been held too high as
the cost of clearing is excessive.

The Good Roads meeting held at
North Yakima during the third week
OF November showed plainly that the
taxpayers is at last being heard In
the matter of better roads. Governor
Lister very plainly told the meeting
that the state was tax ridden and
warned the road enthusiasts that
there must be less expense in road
building He said that he was OPP
posed to any more bonds for road
building and that the one mill levy
for state roads and one and one-half
mill levy for permanent roads should
suffice. Highway Commissioners w.
j. Roberts made a report OF work
done in his office. He reports there
are 228O miles of primary roads"
planned by the state and that per-
manent roads in the state have cost
on an average of about $40, 900 per
mile. Mr.. Roberts has just resigned
and his resignation has been accepted
by Governor Lister. The resignation
is said to have been suggested by the
governor who believes that not
enough roads are being built for the
money expended by Mr.. Roberts.
Retiring President John P. Hartman,
of Seattle, also gave some pointed re-
marks about the waste of road funds
and upheld the position of the state
grange which declares that the first
duty in road building is to reach the
most populous agricultural districts
rather than scenic routes. 1t IS
pleasure indeed to see that at last
the State Good Roads Association is
taking these practical views OF road
building. We all want good ROADS,
but we don't want to be made bank
rupt in building them.

NEW BOOSTER BOOK.

The legislature at the last session
appropriated 1876, 600 for the publica
ton of book which would place be-
fore intending settlers the advantage
of Washington as home state.
Secretary of State I. M. Howell,
commissioner of statistics and emil
grafton, assisted by Harry F. Giles.
deputy commissions have been at
work since the legislature adjourned
on this subject and the work is now
in the hands of the printer. Mr..
Giles has had the personal supervision
of the work. They have sent trained
newspaper men throughout all parts
of the state getting accurate data
which would be useful to the incom-
ing immigrants. The book will con-
tain a great amount Of statistics per-
tanning to the resources of the state,
but these are not to be colored In
any manner.
They are making an especial strong
effort to get the co operation OF the
people of the state in placing these
books among class of citizens who
would be useful to our growing state.
The book will be divided into such
subjects as "Physical and Economical
Descriptions of Counties; "Statis-
tics of Washington in Narrative
Form; Opportunities for Settlers
and Investors, etc. Already parts
of this book have been published
separately. These are "Dairying,
Poultry and Stock Raising, - Log
ged-OH Lands of Washington, and
"Irrigated Lands of Washington.
Mr.. Giles shows that there are TO-
OOO,O)O acres of rich productive land
in the state which, awaits develop
ment. Every section of the state, in
fact every town of any size is to be
treated separately, showing the popu-
lation, banking and business statis-
tics, advantages, etc.
Every citizen of Washington who
desires to bring the greatness OF our
state before friends in the East or else
where should send his name to Sec
rotary Howell, Olympia, and the
book will be sent free of cost. They
will also be furnished to Commercial
Clubs for mailing to proposed settlers
and to any citizen who desires them
for mailing purposes.

THE LOGGED-OFF LAND ELECTION.

The logged-of land election in
King county will be held December
9th. The voters will then decide
whether King county shall become an
agricultural district for the purpose
of clearing logged-off land as provid-
ed under the new law.
The Ranch has always believed that
the new law was sound in principle
where applied to local districts OF
contiguous territory. We have op-
posed the making of county district
in King county for the reason that
there is possibility OF the commits
sioners levying big bond issue.
With this danger staring the voters
in the face, many of them have been
opposed to the formation of the dis
trict. However, the three men who
have filed as agricultural commits
sioners have publicly announced that
in no case would they issue bonds to
a greater sum than 5000, 600 for trial
of the plan. Knowing personally
these men, we are satisfied that they
are not only capable, but are men OF
their word and there would be NO
danger of their violating their pre-
election promises. This being the
there may be no danger in making
test of the law and ii the
voters approve of the formation of
the district the new law will be thor
oughly tested in King county.
The need of such a law has been
apparent for many years and many
able men have given this subject a
great deal of study. Most OF them
are satisfied that the law has possibil
tiles of accomplishing great good.
The Ranch has given considerable
information about the law and we
suppose the voters are fairly we'll in
formed. Under the provisions of the
law any settler owning land can sell
it to the commission at not to exceed
500 an acre; have it cleared for not to
exceed 500 an acre, and buy it back
at cost plus per cent interest in
twenty annual payments.
