Editor Courier Reporter:
When I mentioned in my last letter
the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific
railway officials, said / could mention
others, and strange as it may seem,
had in mind the two cities Mr.. Puder-
baugh referred to: Tacoma, the city
of Destiny, of recalls, the cat's-paw of
Seattle, asleep at the switch when OPP
portunity is ever knocking. Why was
the Duwamish river made navigable,
and why did they turn certain torren-
tial streams into the Puyallup river
to be emptied into the beautiful, well
sheltered bay, where thousands of
tons of silt are deposited annually
yes, fighting away at all who come in
to the confines of their precious king
dom; and why did the Puget Sound
Electric railway, starting with their
Orting branch, leaving the main line
at Willow Junction, passing thru Nc
Aleen and Ardena on its way to Puy-
allup, thru one of the most fertile
valleys in the Northwest, where scores
of Japs, ct al, are seen working, pay
ing $40 to $50 rent an acre every year,
where straight ahead lies beautiful
Mt. Tacoma, reckoning you to come to
her, and why did they stop at Meeker
Junction and put in a wye, leaving the
valley between there and Orting lay in
its virgin state, so far as transporta-
ton facilities are concerned?
Dear reader, ] again exclaim in ac-
cents loud, no more do the kings of
finance roar thru our precious domain
to gain rights of way. Tacoma, saw
ing at the spigot and wasting at the
bung!
Oh, dear reader, how plain it is,
could l tell you all, it would put Sem
ator Vests eulogy on the dog to rout,
Grey's elegy would no more hold first
place in English literature!
Cleveland, Ohio-how long to see
the old place-the second Pittsburg.
How I long to be out on dear old Eu-
cid avenue, with its palatial homes
and my Elizabeth, with our four-in-
hand and good old August Lonerbaugh
our coachman, and Timothy Burns
place, down on the lake front, where
/ used to work lift. And now, dear
reader, who owns the Pittsburg, Bes-
semer & Lake Erie Ry.? Who owns
the Duluth, Messabe & Iron Range
Ry., and the ships that connect them
to give them their cheap fuel, and who
owns the Pittsburg & Lake Erie Ry.,
where enough coal passes daily to
dam the Columbia river? And who
owns the Cleveland & Pittsburg; the
L. s. & M. S.; the Big a and all the
great iron mills? What a contrast
between Tacoma and Cleveland. Oh,
if John D. would only come to Finley!
And now as to prices regarding
water:
Cost of laying Gin pipe line,
distance by hypothenuse,
3070 feet, at zoe per foot, la
Dor included. ............$6 14.00
Cleaning fish and moss out of
sweir and fumes. ......... 14.00

are located in what is known as "dry"
farms where there is total absence
Of forage or any suitable arrange
ment for pasturage, and these farmers
are just as badly handicapped. In
other words not over twenty per cent
of the farmers in Eastern Washington
now raising hogs are prepared to stay
in the business proitably thru thick
and thin and sell their fattened hogs
as cheaply as they are sold at Omaha.
Mr.. Bohosky in his article practically
admits that this will have to be done
if the hog output is kept up to the
present level and I think he is right.
But what about the 500 above des-
cribed hog ranchers? With them the
question of reduced number of hogs
needs no advice or suggestion-it will
solve itself. These people have sim
ply got to get out Of the business.
They have already used all their avail
able credit to keep in the game the
past year, hoping for better conditions
later on. The banker in this country

the result of the Iowa experiments, pre-.

Through years of experience in the

tween Unborn sensory capacity and &C.

DOUBLE HEADER BALL
 GAMES WILL BE CUT
Management Argues That It
 Is Best to Send Fans Home
 Hungry than to Feed Them
 too Much.

After trying out double header base ball games for three weeks and find ing that the attendance at the games has not increased as a result and that many of the fans only stay for one game anyway. those in charge of the baseball games here have decided to send one team to Douglas each Sun day and keep the other tears hero to play one nine inning game.
 Last Sunday, inspite of the fact that for the most part both games were good exhibitions. only about half the people who witnesses the first game stayed for the second, and by the time the game was half over scarcely a dozen fans were to be seen in the grand stand.
 It is argued also that a great deal closer tab will be kept of the games if only one is played here and with the added excitement of having a team away from home each Sunday the ball players as well as the fans will show a quickened interest in the game.
 The Sunday game, this week, will be between the Junction players and the Copper Queen ball tossers. These teams are about in the same class, 50 a hot tussle is looked forward to by the fans and players. Manager Hal bert says he is sure his team could win if they could steal. borrow or beg n pitcher and holds that with this it gives the Junctioners about an even break with his players.
