The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-05-15

No city in the state has been SO
slow to recognize the value of the adj
jacent farming country possibilities
as Seattle. Her citizens received with
great acclaim the news of the proposed
development of Alaska. This is per-
fectly proper but at the same time
there are thousands of acres of land
within few miles of Seattle ready
for development. Ii such develop
ment was made it would yield a
revenue that would probably make a
much better showing than the mines
in Alaska. Seattle's business men
some years ago began to realize that
she was losing the good will of large
part of the farming interests of the
state and in order to overcome this
apparent lack Of favor has been max
ing annual junketing trips to Eastern
Washington and other parts of the
Coast. No doubt these have produced
some good results but nothing like
they should have produced. We are
not sure but what the farmers of
Eastern Washington resent. somewhat
this method to gain their good will.
These business men should devote
more of their time to creating mar
ket for the produce of farmers
throughout the state and assist in
every way in handling these products
and at small cost. Farmers are quick
to appreciate any effort of this kind.
A splendid example of what could be
done is shown by Mayor Gill's visit
to the meeting of farmers over OH
Sequim Prairie last week. He came
home enthusiastic over the splendid
showing Of diary cattle and success
full farming he saw there. The efforts
to cultivate the good will of the farm
ers should not be confined to annual
junkets, but these efforts should ex-
tend over the entire year in practical
assistance TO them every day of the
year.

Montana's move to consolidate its
university. it's agricultural college
and its school of mines could we'll be
copied by several other Western
states. Paris Gibson tells in brief
communication in this issue of The
Ranch how the people of Montana
have at last awakened to the hopeless
ness of three such institutions ever
being of any Importance or standing
and are going to combine them all on
one campus. When the taxpayers of
the state Of Washington examine
their tax statements it might be we'll
to reflect on the wisdo N of following
the example Of Montana in eliminat-
ing some OF the institutions which
we're scattered around the state by
the genial whole souled pie cutters
of the early days.

THE KAIsERs pUNCrUALITY

Madame de Hegermann-Linder-
crone, author of The Sunny Side OF
Diplomatic Life" tells how at the
marriage of the German Crown
Prince their carriage was late, and
knowing the kaiser's punctuality, she
tried to hurry up the long stairs.
There were several turns in the
staircase. Il grasped the tail of my
ball-dress in one hand. she says, and
my heavy court train in the other,
and prepared to mount. on each turn

the eagle on the top of the Emperor's
silver hemlet. We hurried as / never
hurried in my. life, for if his Majesty
had got ahead of us on any of these
turns where the two flights meet and
part we would have been shut out
from the chapel. AS it was, one door
was already closed. They opened it
for us, and we were the last TO enter
before the princes. We crossed the
chapel, to reach the estrada on which
stood the Corps Diplomatique. In my
hurry | forgot to let down my dress,

finally I did reach my place I was out

EPIGRANIs OF THE STAGE

An actor has to be a saving man.
For not every role that comes his way
has coffee with it.
II you don't believe that the movies
are running this country. ask some
dramatist whose play died on Broad
way
When an actress accepts her first
character" part she no longer fibs
about her age.
A dramatic critic is man who
watches your acting through reversed
opera glasses.
An actor and ball player are
much alike They each strive for
hits and long runs. and both are
happiest under flies"
The burlesque field offers a wom-
an bare chances for advancement
Marry in haste, repent on the stage
Most actors carriages are easy and
graceful-although one or two have
| to ride in side-door Pullmans.
If there is anybody on earth who
doesn't believe that war is awful, let
him view some of the hurriedly made
film dramas on that subject.
Good actors don't blame their poor
work on the director.
There are so many beautiful wom-
en- on the stage to-day that the audi
ence loses lots of the best lines
watching other lines
An actor is Il man who is always
playing benefits for somebody, but
who himself is often refused even
the benefit of n doubt
