couraged the prospective investors,
and the plant was located at Ever

cure this condensery for Lynden. and
everyone Interested in a greater Lyn-

EXASPERATINC.

In referring to the Swiss colony.
which recently bought logged-off
lands in Thurston County. near O.
lyInpia, and is going to settle there.
the Arlington Chronicle says that it
Is almost exasperating when We are
scheming how We may find an easy
land-ciearing way for the fellow cit
izens whom We wish 10 lure upon
logged-off areas, to read of the ar
rival of colony of Swiss farmers
who have acquired 10000 acres of
stump land in Thurston county and
are going at the job of developing
ii without even stopping 10 deplore
the difficulty OF the undertaking.
Apparently they never have heard of
the $4,000 legislative appropriation
for a state powder factory for the
production of cheap blasting ms
terial for the logged-off land settler.
and it appears to be their intention
to go right ahead digging out The
stumps by main strength. Or per-
haps they will leave the stumps and
cultivate between them. They are
stolid lot, those Swiss, and very
likely they will plod ahead and
transform the 10000 acres into
productive and profitable home
steads while the free-born American
citizen waits for the state powder
factory and other subsidies which
sympathetic legislators are disposed

land problem over which We have
cogitated so long is one for Swiss
and Scandinavian solution. These
people never have bothered about
obstacles. They have gone upon
the blizza rd-swept plains Of the mid

steadily making headwsy despite ad-
verse conditions So ii seems the
logged-off lands must have been set
apart for them. The transforma-
tion of 10000 acres in Thurstor
county into fruit and dairy farms
will make a great change in the
status of the logged-off land prob
lem in that county. No doubt be-
fore the job is half completed other
Swiss settlers will join in the work
and make it 100000 acres.

THE HERITAGE.

Ii you would find the souls high
resting places,
Go out into the world and seek for
troubled faces;
Search out the hearts of those VINO
sorrow and travail
Bring joy and hope TO them; IL
surely will avail
Thee more than all the riches or
the world-Truth must prevail!
Somewhere a father sits alone with
thoughts all sad,
Longing for the little girl, and for
the laughing lad
That made the golden summer oi
his day.
Somewhere wife or sweethea I
kneels to pray
For the dear one loved so we'll,
and gone astrsy.
Hold out your hand and lift the
fallen desperate one.
Somewhere mother hopes Tor heI
beloved son.
In all the world there is no girl
so reckless or SO low
hut SOuleoHe iVSeS Ici iio'N
all-God wills it so;
Give smiles and helpful words te
every one you know.
Pick up the little children and wipe
their tears away;
Give food and drink to those III
need, today-alway
To the crippled girl and boy bring
endless bliss
They need your stories and your
help, your tender kiss.
1t is their rightful heritage-so ma
ny things they miss.
Remember, gentle Jesus helped
the needy and the low;
Sing out a gladstone song no mat
ter where you go.
Smooth out the trouble wrinkles OF
every suffering brow;
Give all the best you have TO give
and do it Now.
You then will find the souls hlsi
resting place,
And radiant smiles will greet yot
on every human face.
This is your heritage.
