Like ell new sections of the country, therailroad system of Washington is not yetthoroughly established. The main line ofroad of the territory is the Northern Pa-cific. which is the first transcontinentalline completed through it. Its main linetraverses the territory from its eastern

limit westward through tiie Cascaderange of roountaina to Tacoma on PugetBound, thence southward to Portland,Oregon. Its main Hue is 048 miles inlength and its branches? Rosiyn 5 miles,Bpokane A Palouse 104 miles, and threeother short branches aggregating about 10

miles?l2s miles, making a total length

of 702 miles of standard guage.The Oregon Railway A Navigation Com-

pany lias 382 miles of standard gunge

road in the territory, extending from theOregon state line to Wallula, Walla Walla.Riparia, Dayton, Pomeroy, etc., making

a total of 1,045 miles of standard guage in

the territory of those two lines. In addi-tion to these two lines there is the Seattle,Lake Shore A Eastern that has completed

68 miles between Seattle and Spokane

Falls; Columbia A Puget Bound line 44

miles from Beattie; Puget Bound A Grav?sHarbor 10 miles, making a total of 124miles, besides the Big Bend branch of the

Northern Pacific from Cheney westward

to Davenport, some 60 miles.Of narrow guage there are 40 miles in

operation, making a grand total of miles

of both guages in 1888 of 1,107. This is

an increase of 137 miles the past year.

The present year the increase will le

much larger and will continue until thegeneral system of the territory is pretty

well established.? Tacoma Real EttaleJournal.

Alfalfa fiftwMg.

A correspondent of the Pacific RuralPrett gives his experience as follows:

First, I always sow early in spring?-about' the time of the last frost?as it isvery tender when young.

After sowing I harrow in, same as forgrain. For this reason it covers well andgives it a good chance to root before beingexposed to the sun or frost. Put onplenty of seed?you need not lie afraid ofgetting too thick a stand. You cannotreap unless you sow; that?s the drawbackto most of farmers. The first year youwill be able to cut two crops of fine hay.

After the first season, I take'a sharpliarrow when the alfalfa begins to sproutinspring and give it a thorough harrow-ing. This loosens op the soil and tearsout all the foul seed. Itdoes not injurethe alfalfa root. You will find that itwill pay you for all your trouble.

I always cut my hay just before itblos-soms, for this reason: You willfind thestems much finer, and the strength re-tained inthe stalk instead of inthe blos-som ; besides, itwillstand up much Ilet-

ter to mow. What you will lose in cut-ting early, you will gain in cutting itmuch cleaner. Of course it will not yieldso much to the acre, but you will find itwill keep mote stock to the acre, for they

will eat every sjiear of it.I consider alfalfa hay the liost in exist-

ence for young stock, as it always keepsthe bowels regular. It is more like nat-

ural grass. 1 feed noother hay, and when

my neighbors? horses are all sick, mystock come inat night as they do in thespring of the year, withtheir heels in the

air?you don?t know which end is goingto get in-first.

I have found from long experience that

grass is not fit for mares which you want

to breed, for as long as they feed on it youwillfind they are very hard to get withfoal. Cows are the same way. Put themin a dry pasture a few weeks before youbreed them, and you willfind your mares

willget with foal much quicker.As to the best mode of curing alfalfa

hay, I find it is to not let it lie too long

after being mowed. Rake it into wind-rows and let it dry as much as possible in

the windrow before lieing put in the cock,then haul it in immediately, for if too dry,

the leaves drop off. Be sore to have itthoroughly cured before putting in the

barn, for if the least moldy or damp it

willsurely give your horses the heaves or

a bad cough. This Iknow from experi-ence of green farm hands. Balt it wellwhen it is put in the barn?that will stop

it from molding if too damp when hauling.

It contains within itselfall that is necessary for the growing ofany crop without fertilisation, and therecan be no drouth to harm where the watertrickles down the corn row instead ofhanging suspended in a cloud that failsto precipitate. The opportunity for thefarmer, or "rancher,? is, of course, alongthe Talleys, though there is one exception

to this rule?the Big Bend country. Herethe land naturally grows bunch grass;and where bunch grass will grow wheatand the other cereals will flourish undercultivation. In fact, two-thirds of theland taken during the *>aat year haslieen in the Big Bend, as the greaterpart of Douglas county is called. Bo faraa I am informed the hundreds who fiavebeen cultivating the land in that regionare doing well. The Wenatchee valley,where the Wenatchee river puta into theColumbia, is also a most remarkably goodagricultural point. The climate is mildand winters short, and fruits of all kinds,'excepting tropical, do well. There areseveral fine vineyards there. In the Kit-titas valley, around Ellenaburgh, thereare miles and miles of lovely fanningland, especially adapted to raising hay andgrain. Kllenshurgh is itself a smart town,full of life and business energy.

To the man who wants to know about

the climate: At this moment ray neigh-bor is plowing and it ia holiday week.How is that for a cocumber? What hasIjeen said to the stockman will give afaint idea of the open winters, and yetour Eastern friends arc slow to believethe fact w hen told them. In a ceuple ofmonths from now the next year?s gardenin the Yakima valley will he sprouting.This is God?s truth, because he built thecountry that way. Sweet potatoes andpeanuts mature beautifully, and tobacco

has been successfully raised on tbs great

Moxee farm for the past two years. Theclimate ia perfect?better than that of

Southern California for the reason that

there ia a nice little distinct winter sea-son, w hen it geta as cold as sero and a

few degrees colder sometimes for two or

three weeks. It ia dry and clear so muchof the time Uuu, as Longfellow said ofsome island or other:

In response to your request, I willendeavor to furnish you such factsas will be of general and particularinterest concerning the North Yakimaland district. In order to do thisfully and within the space of a news-paper?s daily allowanceon one topic, Icanthink of no better way than to give, asnearly as may be. the pithand substanceof such letters as I have from time totimewritten to personal friends of mine in thevarious walks of life. Such letters are freefrom the booming tendency, and (pardonthe remark) free also from the newspaper'sinky love for giving its own locality thatfull, round tone of importance that itslocal gods so dearly love tosee. One doesnot write bis friend with a view of get-ting him into trouble, nor yet does hewrite him with a view to keeping himaway from the country. The troth comesmore nearly from knowledge it filteredthrough the fine and even texture of afriendly letter to one who wants to comeand live cloee by us in Wsshington Ter-ritory.

To save space, and avoid vain and use-less repetition, let the reader take It forgranted that the subject matter replies toquestions in a letter not produced ineachinstance. Emerson says, "Give me friendsinconversation who take many smallermatters for granted, that I may not wearymyself and them ta> by saying over whatwe all ought to know."

roa HIMWHO WANTS TO KNOW.

To the man who wants to know howlarge the North Yakima land district isand how much of it is taken:

It is 210 miles long, north and south,extending from near the Columbia riverwhere that stream flows past Wallula tothe northern lioundary of the UnitedStates, and itis 180 miles wide, with the ,summit of the Cascade mountains for itswestern lioundary, reaching to the easternline of Douglas county. It includes Yaki-ma, Kittitas,Douglas and Okanogan coun-ties, and lies inthe very heart of the greatterritory of Washington. What is nowOkanogan county was until about twoyears ago the Columbia or ?Moses? In-dian reservation. It was opened to set-tlement by an executive order, the condi-tion being at the time made that settlerscould take the land only under the home-stead act. The Indians of the reservationwho did not want to go upon the adjoin-ing reservation, in Stevens county, werepermitted to select claims from the landsof their old home, and many of them did

so. There is still one Indian reservationin the land district?that of the YakimaIndians, which includes within its boun-daries 800,000 acres of the beet land inthe world. Itought to be thrown opento settlement, and whyit is not, God andthe sentimental statesmen are the onlyones who know. These thousands ofacres are now given over to the uses or

non-usee of a comparatively few Indians

?not one to each 1,000 acres. Enough

of them are prosperous ranchmen anddrovers to prove that they can do betteron a man?s-sise farm than to roam andloiter in town, while the rest are notworth so much more than an ordinarycuss as to be given a thousand acresapiece. The opening up of this reserva-tion at an early day is one of the thingsthat is expected from an outfit at Wash-ington that is purely republican, from thebrass woman on the top of the capitol to

the underpaid roan who pulls out the

drawers of the Indian bureau. At pres-ent the settler has no rights on the mag-nificent hay land of the reservation,though he gets there just the same, now

and then.FOB THB STATISTICIAN.

To the man who wants statistics: Dur-ing the year 1888 207,300 acres of landhave been filed upon at the United States

land office in North Yakima. This hasl«en taken under the various acts of con-gress giving away land, as follows: Pre-emption, 644 entries; homesteads, 806;timiier cultures, 290; desert land, 19; coalpre-emptions, 6; coal land purchases, 3;mineral land, 2.

llesides this showing, there have beenapplications to enter under the desertland act, which are now before the secre-tary of the interior on the question ofprice per acre?whether it shall be fljtf,as formerly held, or |2.60, as required

under the Sparks ruling. These applica-tions cover some 50,000 acres along theleft bank of tbe Yakima river.

One hundred pre-emptors have proved

up, fifty-one Immestcaders and elevendesert land claimants.

To the man who wants to know aboutthe prospects for a farmer: This districtsliounds in demonstrations of success and

is rich in opportunity. No one who hasever been here will dispute this, with,

perhaps, the exception of the cattlemen,

who dislike very much to see the landfenced and tilled on their former fine

ranges. It requires a different kind offarming from that to which eastern menare accustomed, but the same that is

practiced In tbe irrigating districts ofCalifornia. This is the territory where

irrigation is possible. The abundantstreams flowing from the mountains, withtheir great (all, make the taking out of

"Tbs ysto beslth-seeker flodetb thereTbs wins ol IlfsIs its pleasant sir."

It woold be pleasant to tell more of this

North Yakima Land District, concerning

which yon have asked me to write, hutthere is not room enough over in yourland district to print all I might say on

paper. When one talks the matter may

expand upward, but in writing it keepsdown to business, so I will now only tellan occurence of to-day, which will, 1 setter

than any amount of bracing argument,?how how well people who come to thiscountry get along: I waa standing this

morning in the postoffice while the mailwas being distributed, when a gentleman

who makes glad each Christmas by a tree

In the church, to which the town turns

out without regard to religion or politics,said to me: ?Give me the names of

some poor children who are not likely to

be remembered this year, and we will see

to it that our Christmas tree has some-thing for them.? For the life o? me I

could think of none, and it struck me sostrangely that I asked the gentleman,

?How many such have you on the list??

?I declare,? said he, ?there is but onefamily In town that is poor enough to 1«remembered on that account, and we feel

a bit delicate about it in that Instance.?

There are none who have not plenty to

e«t; and not enough who go without

drink to overbalance those who get too

much. This Is the fact about the oppor-tunities of the Yakima valley. There aresome gorgeous specimens of the deadbeat, here and there In this land district,but not one pauper, so far aa I know, andI know them all.? L. 8. Howlett »n Spo-

kane Fallt Review.

...m vnn, Hun,agricultural region in the district [and inthe territory) lies about the city of NorthYakima, and is known aa the Yakima val-ley, though it really include# several val-leys. Here you will find fruits and vege-tables in abundance. The land ia toovaluable to be given up to grain, whichshould be left to the Big Rend, WallaWalla and Klickitat regions. The rail-roads take the garden stuff raised in theYakima valley to the coast cities ina day,and there is never a time, from the middleof Jane to the end of October when themarket is slow. In fact, the Bound cities?re coming each ancceediag year to relymore and more upon the Yakima valleyfor those fruits and vegetables which for-merly came from California. Many ofthe newcomers prefer to stop in this val-ley and take land, rather than go fartheraway from iht railroads and city schools.Here ten acres willgive »family as go*nlsupport aa a market garden near an east-ern city, witha surer thing of it, year inand year out, on account of the irrigation.While all tills is true, it is also true thatthe resources ol the valley are not yetone-twentieth part developed. The 160-acre ranches are gradually subdividinginto sinsll farms as the origins! ownersprove up. The city of North Yakimacontains one of the best public schools inthe territory, and has one of the besthotel buildings just completed. Thestreets are broad and beautiful, and linedfor miles with shadetrees and littlestreamlets of clear water. It is generallybelieved that the capital of the newstate will lie located at Yakima, it lieingin almost the exact center of the territorywith reference to geographical lines andthe distribution of population and havingmany other advantages, rendering it themost eligible for that honor.

The following well considered article is

from the Colton EagU, of Eastern Wash-ington, and presents the grand future ofWashington in a clear, correct and forci-ble manner, thus:

In considering the future of Washingtonterritory it should not be forgotten thatone of the greatest factors in the develop-ment of our resource* and the populatingour domain is advantage of location inre-

lation to the commerce of the world.Capitalists of the East are beginning torecognise the fact that ultimately the

greatest commerce of the seas will be on

tbe Pacific ocean. Study the geographyof the world and you will find for your-self that the raw material that is neces-sary for the sustenance of manufactoriesis to be drawn from the countries whose

shores arc washed by the Pacific. Lookagain and find, if you please, that Wash-

ington has the liarbor of the world?thegreat Puget Sound. Consider, again,that Washington, Oregon, British Colnm-

Ida and a part of Idaho can produce the

building, fuel and food supply that isnecessary to support unlimited manufac-turing industries and a population toovast for us to comprehend by an expres-sion of figures.

Consider these things and then tell ns

not that we are too sanguine when we

say that the greatest city of tbe world is

to be built on the Mediterranean of Am-

erica.We might go on and name reason after

reason to support what may seem only amyth to many, but the reasons given aresufficient. You cannot investigate with-out reaching the conclusion we make, ifyou will use reason, facts and history foryour?guides. j

To the man who wants toknow whatkind of a country itia (or stock: Beforeanswering such an inquiry,I once turnedto a friend from a remote ranch «ndasked him. His reply, couched inthevernacular of the country, was: ?It is agood country for cattle and horses, butit's hell on sheep.?* I bethought myselfthat he had made a snug fortune in cat-tle, so I knew the first part of his remarkmust be true; and on inquiry I foundthat he might revera the phrase and stillhave it true. The one thing necessary toharmonise the statements is to kee; thesheep and the cattle apart, as they do thesheep and the goats in the ideal pasture.The valleys of this district have been aparadise for stockman for the past thirtyyears. During all that time there havenot been over five winters in which it baa

been necessary to bring the stock off therange to feed. It is an all-the-year-roundcattle country. The

roRTi Ncs or the runmmWill, however, have to be made infencedpastures, and with a better grade of stock.Experiments inthis direction are provingvery satiafactory and remunerative.

and cedar; rich, rolling prairies, wheremore wheat is grown to the acre thananywhere in the United States; exten-sive plains too dry (or fanning, but good

for pasturage; an ocean coast line of 300miles and a much longer coast line onnavigable bays on that beautiful inlandsea called Puget Bound; mines of gold

and silver and big navigable rivers. The

climate to as mild in the eastern part as

that of Virginia, and in the western partit closely resembles that of the south of

Ireland. On Puget Sound they have tomanufacture ice by artificial process, al-though the latitude to as high as that of

Maine. Washington will make a superbstate. Bhe hag coal and iron, lumber,wheat, fruit,'cattle, fish, oysters, hops,barley, gold and silver. Her people arenearly all of American birth. Her prin-cipal towns are Beattie, with 20,000 in-habitants; Tacoma, with 18,000; Spo-kane Falls, with 8,000, and Walla Walla,with 6,000. Olympia, the present capi-tal, to a pretty village of 2,000 people.The new state capital will probably be atNorth Yakima, because of its central lo-cation on the Northern Pacific trunk lineroad. The town to in a fruitful irrigatedvalley and has 2,000 inhabitants. Wash-ington to heavily republican. She hasbeen represented incongress of late by ademocrat, but he was elected on an anti-railroad issue, which was a temporaryerase and played no part inthe last elec-tion, when a republican was chosen by alarge majority. The present populationof the territory to not far from 276,000.Nearly 40,000 immigrants have come induring the past year. Washington willsupport 1,000,000 peoplcrbefore her greatarea to at all crowded. In time she willbe as rich a state as Pennsylvania.?A'.

into Okanogan?is an Indian name,meaning ?rendezvous.? ami was applied

to the Okanogan lake?the source of the

river given the same name ?where theIndians or the various tribes in Wash-

ington territory, British Columbia andeven os far northward as Alaska, assem-

ble in ?potlatch? and secure their supplyof fish and game, a custom they still con-

tinue.The name ?Booyos,? applied to a lake

inthat region, means ?narrows.? Theetymology of thia word has been corruptedinto ?O Booyos,? which destroys its

beauty. The lake is one of tlie finest flail-

ing places in the territory.

To the prospector: The new Salmonriver mines are in the northern part ofthis district, and they are coming on well,as everybody knows who knows anythingabout them. The (act that ore has beenfound there is as much an accident as

such things generally are. The greatmineral field on this eastern slope of theCascades bolds locked in its mysteriouscaverns wealth such as tlie lover of TonDuchicela never saw in the Andean cav-erns to which the old girl led him.

Within the past two years deposits of coalhave been opened up which are supply-ing the market from St. Paul westward,and there are unopened deposits strungalong from the headwaters of the Klicki-tat river on the south to the British linoon the north, many of which have beenpecked at just enough to show that it isthere. These finds will be developed byrailroads, as the one ai Ruelyn was. TheNotches valley coal is the moot promisinglayout known just now owing to Its near-ness to the railroad. It Is only thirty-five miles from the Northern Pacific, atNorth Yakima. The iron mines nearCle-Blnm will lie somewhat developedduring the coming summer by a foreigncompany. The mines of the Peehastiarange are known to be rich, and there isevery reason to suppose that some oldprospector will uncover gold and silvergalore when be goes knocking at therocks hard enough; but no land officercan tell him Just where to begin.

The comet Indian name of "Conco-nnDj? ia "Sklow Onliman,? which means"money hole.? thus given by the Indianabecauae of the abundant beaver found in

that locality in early tiroes, the akins ofwhich brought them much money. But,the same locality?the Conconnully orOkanogan country?has proven to be a"money hole" for the white race in the

way of the rich gold and silver minesfound there.

"Yakima? is an Indian name, mean-ing a "great socataah garden,? and alsoapplied to a tribe of Indians thus named.

"Klickitat? is an Indian name, mean-ing a "cove of salmon,? it also being ap-

plied to a tribe of Indians inhabiting theeastern part of the territory along theColombia river.

At the Herald's request, Dr. Neviusgives the following description of thebuilding:

St. Michael's church, of North Yakima,ia Gothic in style, is built of rough atoneand is a part of the nave of the greaterchurch, for which we have the plant andwhich willbe built in sections as neadedin the future. For this reason tbe chan-cel end ia built of wood and will be re-moved as the cbnrch is extended.

The building is forty-eight by twenty-five feet, with twelve foot walls and highpitched roof. The chancel Is eighteenfeet wide by sixteen feet deep, includingthe sanctuary, and ia apaidal with throewindows, the center of which Is a figureof the crucifixion. The front gable of thechurch (west end) is carried up above theplanes of the roof in three equal stages ofsix feet each, and to surmounted with alarge stone cross and haa throe long nar-row windows. The windows are all ofcathedral glass, from Coulter A Sons, Cin-cinnati. The outer wall of the chancel tocovered with shinies in cheram ontongue and grooved casing, and will waitfor ita inner wall until the church to ableto properly complete the same. The roofis supported on heavy trusses and to opento the peak and ia ceiled under the pur-lines vertically, with narrow tongue andgrooved fir. The walls are massive, andthe church is unique and quaint. In fact,Italready looks s hundred years old andwhen It is covered with ivy, as it Is Mg-'**,it may soon be, itwill stand well for thehoary antiquity of the church, and will apresent an anomalous appearance in atown not yetfive years old, still glitteringin *

fresh brick and new paint.Just so much of the future church as to

needed for present use has been built. Theenrichment of ornament and the enlarge-ment are left for the larger and richer con-gregation of the future. The church toseated for a congregation of 126 persona.

The building has cost about S4OOO, ex-clusive of its two valuable lots, whlahsrjn, _

given by the Northern Pacific RailroadCompany. Of this amount about $460wan supplied by the Women?s Guild of themission.

Four hundred dollarahas lieen given by non-rerfdenlproperty owners. live hundred dol-lars willbe carried by the mission on along loan from our church building fluid.Seven hundred and fifty dollars, yal doe,we hope to raise without intermitting theefforts which have led to results reported
