cold.
| Near Victoria the waters were
alive with fish which could be seen
in all directions jumping into the
air. This, a resident of Victoria,
informed me, was the annual sal.
mon run for which the canneries
had been anxously waiting since
the fish We're over due for several
| days
Victoria is an English city. Its
carriages and livered drivers, its
stores and methods of business, all
impress one with the fact that you
are in a foreign city. The streets
teemed with ia panese and Chinese,
as is seen in no city in the United
States. A war vessel belonging to
US was anchored in the harbor,
and as the streets were swarming
with "Blue Jackets" we after all
felt safe. In our stroll through the
city We visited the capitol building
and its grounds. Needing a few
stamps for some post cards I was d.
rected to the postoffice which occu-
pies a large building. Once inside
looked vainly for a stamp window
and finally with a tip Of my hat
I enquired how and where to buy
stamp. I was directed to a lady
who occupied an open booth where
I modestly asked for one cent
stamps. She replied, 81 can only
sell you or 10, since we have no
pennies for change" So 10
bought, when Z, 7 needed.
Well inland from the coast in
the Cascade range there are several
famous snow capped mountains,
separated from each other by many
miles.
Mount Baker in the north. plain
" seen from Victoria, Is some IS
miles northeast nWashington. Mt.
Rainier, altitude 14,440 is south
east of Seattle in Washington. Mt.
Hood is east Of Portland in Oregon,
while Mt. Shasta is in northern
California. These are refreshing
sights on a hot day, and make eI-
cellent summer resorts for the coast
people, and the person who has
scaled their heights, never Wearies
of telling Of the adventure. While
seeing all four Of them, we climbed
up to the foot of Mt. Shasta one
day by train and n crossing the
Cascades we suddenly saw to the
left Of us the dazzling top of Rain
Ter as it were by our side, though
in reality it was many miles away.
|. Here along the coast the sun
rises and sets two hours later than
in Iowa. If we arose at 500 a.
m. it was really 500 at home.
When noon came our iowa apps
tite was insistert, but it was only
1000 o'clock. If we ate supper at
500 o'clock il was 1000 p. NJ. in
Iowa. This is one way to account for
extra appetite, rather than credit
all to the wonderful western eli
mate.
Like music the great west is
made up Of variations. No two
places being exactly the same in
temperature, Soil conditions or
products. Within a. few miles
these changes are very noticeable.
Some favored spot will raise Sue.
cessfully certain fruits or vegeta-
bles, while not far distant they
would be failures. The attitudes
and proximity to the ocean, the
mountains location, and soil. all
help to decide the question of pos
sibilities. But Jew can do as they
please as they can in the east. and
to think that almost anything will
thrive is great mistake, The one
thing to know is what will succeed
and DO that thing we'll.
There Seems to be one universal

certainty that in summer it wilt.
not rain. Clouds come up and
threaten. The parcled ground
pleads for moisture. Vegetation
languishes or dies, but after a mist
or sprinkle the sun appears and all
is over. In the mountains and des-
art more rain fell last spring and
summer than usual, which perhaps
paved the way for the heavy winter
floods of southern California.
When the western farmer wants
rain he goes down in his pocket and
puts up from S. cents to $1,000 per
acre, and tries to think he has it
'better than he did back east"
where rains come free Thus ON
an 80 acre farm he pays from $53
to $3.50 for the seasons water.
o, you eastern GROWERS, UNI
thankful to smiling Providence for
rain, and mud and grass, go west.
go west and get cured. If rain
and mud is wearisome go where
there is no rain or mud and you
will find little else. If the heat Of
the summer annoys you go to the
mountains wheree snow and frost
is due every month in the year.
If the winters are too cold go
where the winters are warm and
the summers roast you.
If you are tired OF milking
cows and feeding stock go to parts
in the west where for miles, no liv-
ings animals are seen and milk and
butter are luxuries.
If you complain of too much
work. It would not be difficult to
find a place where there is nothing
doing.
You will often hear the western
man say, "When I was back east
was out in the rain and mud, the
cold and snow, and endured tlose
not nights in summer. you could
never get me to go back and suffer
such things again." So he sits
down in the dust and drought Of
summer and wastes his pity on the
folks back east where everything
is green and flourishing because Of
ho- nights and blessed rain,
Irrigated fruits and vegetables
are Of inferior quality and flavor
as compared with the non-irrigated,
and on the market prices are fa-
vorable to the producer Of tie nom

few.
\ strange aged lady in Portland
from Iowa declared to US that she
had not had good tomato for Is

The west tina" produces so much

\ man from Iowa invested in 80

acre. The stumps are practically
imperisha Die and before the ground
can be utilized the scumps must
De removed. His nephew told me
that it was we'll worth s100 per
acre to dynamite them out, and
with fire destroy them, but the
uncle did not want to pay the
price, still has the stumps and
don't know what to DO with them.
A royal welcome is waiting for
the eastern man. Everybody Is
glad to see him come. for in his
pocket is the success of much of the
west.
