Like ell new sections of the country, the railroad system of Washington is not yet thoroughly established. The main line of road of the territory is the Northern Pa- cific. which is the first transcontinental line completed through it. Its main line traverses the territory from its eastern limit westward through tiie Cascade range of roountaina to Tacoma on Puget Bound, thence southward to Portland, Oregon. Its main Hue is 048 miles in length and its branches? Rosiyn 5 miles, Bpokane A Palouse 104 miles, and three other 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 the Oregon 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?s Harbor 10 miles, making a total of 124 miles, 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 the general system of the territory is pretty well established.? Tacoma Real Ettale Journal. Vwfcn rf WulriigtN.

Alfalfa fiftwMg. A correspondent of the Pacific Rural Prett gives his experience as follows: First, I always sow early in spring?- about' the time of the last frost?as it is very tender when young. After sowing I harrow in, same as for grain. For this reason it covers well and gives it a good chance to root before being exposed to the sun or frost. Put on plenty of seed?you need not lie afraid of getting too thick a stand. You cannot reap unless you sow; that?s the drawback to most of farmers. The first year you will be able to cut two crops of fine hay. After the first season, I take'a sharp liarrow when the alfalfa begins to sprout inspring and give it a thorough harrow- ing. This loosens op the soil and tears out all the foul seed. It does not injure the alfalfa root. You will find that it will pay you for all your trouble. I always cut my hay just before it blos- soms, for this reason: You willfind the stems much finer, and the strength re- tained inthe stalk instead of in the blos- som ; besides, it will stand up much I let- ter to mow. What you will lose in cut- ting early, you will gain in cutting it much cleaner. Of course it will not yield so much to the acre, but you will find it will 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 keeps the bowels regular. It is more like nat- ural grass. 1 feed noother hay, and when my neighbors? horses are all sick, my stock come in at night as they do in the spring of the year, withtheir heels in the air?you don?t know which end is going to 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 you willfind they are very hard to get with foal. Cows are the same way. Put them in a dry pasture a few weeks before you breed them, and you will find your mares will get 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 it thoroughly cured before putting in the barn, for if the least moldy or damp it will surely give your horses the heaves or a bad cough. This I know from experi- ence of green farm hands. Balt it well when it is put in the barn?that will stop it from molding if too damp when hauling. X rf Wiu lm Since the Outlook has sojourned in the Okanogan region it has, inits intercourse withthe native Americans, learned some- thing of the meaning ol various Indian names applied to streams, localities, etc. The ?scholars? of Chief Moses? tribe say that "Okanlkane??now angloeired RICH IN LANDS. ditches an easy matter, and the sage brush land when watered is the most ;>n> dactive of any. It contains within itself all that is necessary for the growing of any crop without fertilisation, and there can be no drouth to harm where the water trickles down the corn row instead of hanging suspended in a cloud that fails to precipitate. The opportunity for the farmer, or "rancher,? is, of course, along the Talleys, though there is one exception to this rule?the Big Bend country. Here the land naturally grows bunch grass; and where bunch grass will grow wheat and the other cereals will flourish under cultivation. In fact, two-thirds of the land taken during the *>aat year has lieen in the Big Bend, as the greater part of Douglas county is called. Bo far aa I am informed the hundreds who fiave been cultivating the land in that region are doing well. The Wenatchee valley, where the Wenatchee river puta into the Columbia, is also a most remarkably good agricultural point. The climate is mild and winters short, and fruits of all kinds,' excepting tropical, do well. There are several fine vineyards there. In the Kit- titas valley, around Ellenaburgh, there are miles and miles of lovely fanning land, especially adapted to raising hay and grain. Kllenshurgh is itself a smart town, full of life and business energy. THE BEST ANDMOST EXTENSIVE THE CUMATK. 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 has Ijeen said to the stockman will give a faint idea of the open winters, and yet our Eastern friends arc slow to believe the fact w hen told them. In a ceuple of months from now the next year?s garden in the Yakima valley will he sprouting. This is God?s truth, because he built the country that way. Sweet potatoes and peanuts mature beautifully, and tobacco has been successfully raised on tbs great Moxee farm for the past two years. The climate 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 much of the time Uuu, as Longfellow said of some island or other: v«*f> rf tk WU Miu Lul Mrtrirt -1 flint* Sipmw U That rf Saitbcn Calibnii. A Lss4 sf Peace wart Plenty, Where Kveryharty Prospers, and Nst Oas Paaper Amany Them. In response to your request, I will endeavor to furnish you such facts as will be of general and particular interest concerning the North Yakima land district. In order to do this fully and within the space of a news- paper?s daily allowanceon one topic, I can think of no better way than to give, as nearly as may be. the pith and substance of such letters as I have from time totime written to personal friends of mine in the various walks of life. Such letters are free from the booming tendency, and (pardon the remark) free also from the newspaper's inky love for giving its own locality that full, round tone of importance that its local gods so dearly love to see. One does not write bis friend with a view of get- ting him into trouble, nor yet does he write him with a view to keeping him away from the country. The troth comes more nearly from knowledge it filtered through the fine and even texture of a friendly letter to one who wants to come and live cloee by us in Wsshington Ter- ritory. To save space, and avoid vain and use- less repetition, let the reader take It for granted that the subject matter replies to questions in a letter not produced ineach instance. Emerson says, "Give me friends inconversation who take many smaller matters for granted, that I may not weary myself and them ta> by saying over what we all ought to know." roa HIMWHO WANTS TO KNOW. To the man who wants to know how large the North Yakima land district is and how much of it is taken: It is 210 miles long, north and south, extending from near the Columbia river where that stream flows past Wallula to the northern lioundary of the United States, and it is 180 miles wide, with the , summit of the Cascade mountains for its western lioundary, reaching to the eastern line of Douglas county. It includes Yaki- ma, Kittitas,Douglas and Okanogan coun- ties, and lies in the very heart of the great territory of Washington. What is now Okanogan county was until about two years 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 settlers could take the land only under the home- stead act. The Indians of the reservation who did not want to go upon the adjoin- ing reservation, in Stevens county, were permitted to select claims from the lands of their old home, and many of them did so. There is still one Indian reservation in the land district?that of the Yakima Indians, which includes within its boun- daries 800,000 acres of the beet land in the world. It ought to be thrown open to settlement, and why it is not, God and the sentimental statesmen are the only ones who know. These thousands of acres 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 and drovers to prove that they can do better on a man?s-sise farm than to roam and loiter in town, while the rest are not worth so much more than an ordinary cuss as to be given a thousand acres apiece. The opening up of this reserva- tion at an early day is one of the things that is expected from an outfit at Wash- ington that is purely republican, from the brass 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 land have been filed upon at the United States land office in North Yakima. This has l«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; coal pre-emptions, 6; coal land purchases, 3; mineral land, 2. llesides this showing, there have been applications to enter under the desert land act, which are now before the secre- tary of the interior on the question of price 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 the left bank of tbe Yakima river. One hundred pre-emptors have proved up, fifty-one Immestcaders and eleven desert land claimants. To the man who wants to know about the prospects for a farmer: This district sliounds in demonstrations of success and is rich in opportunity. No one who has ever been here will dispute this, with, perhaps, the exception of the cattlemen, who dislike very much to see the land fenced and tilled on their former fine ranges. It requires a different kind of farming from that to which eastern men are accustomed, but the same that is practiced In tbe irrigating districts of California. This is the territory where irrigation is possible. The abundant streams flowing from the mountains, with their great (all, make the taking out of "Tbs ysto beslth-seeker flodetb there Tbs 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, hut there is not room enough over in your land district to print all I might say on paper. When one talks the matter may expand upward, but in writing it keeps down to business, so I will now only tell an occurence of to-day, which will, 1setter than any amount of bracing argument, ?how how well people who come to this country get along: I waa standing this morning in the postoffice while the mail was 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 so strangely that I asked the gentleman, ?How many such have you on the list?? ?I declare,? said he, ?there is but one family 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 are some gorgeous specimens of the dead beat, here and there In this land district, but not one pauper, so far aa I know, and I know them all.? L. 8. Howlett »n Spo- kane Fallt Review. ...m vnn, Hun, agricultural region in the district [and in the territory) lies about the city of North Yakima, 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 too valuable to be given up to grain, which should be left to the Big Rend, Walla Walla and Klickitat regions. The rail- roads take the garden stuff raised in the Yakima valley to the coast cities in a day, and there is never a time, from the middle of Jane to the end of October when the market is slow. In fact, the Bound cities ?re coming each ancceediag year to rely more and more upon the Yakima valley for those fruits and vegetables which for- merly came from California. Many of the newcomers prefer to stop in this val- ley and take land, rather than go farther away from iht railroads and city schools. Here ten acres will give »family as go*nl support aa a market garden near an east- ern city, witha surer thing of it, year in and year out, on account of the irrigation. While all tills is true, it is also true that the resources ol the valley are not yet one-twentieth part developed. The 160- acre ranches are gradually subdividing into sinsll farms as the origins! owners prove up. The city of North Yakima contains one of the best public schools in the territory, and has one of the best hotel buildings just completed. The streets are broad and beautiful, and lined for miles with shadetrees and little streamlets of clear water. It is generally believed that the capital of the new state will lie located at Yakima, it lieing in almost the exact center of the territory with reference to geographical lines and the distribution of population and having many other advantages, rendering it the most eligible for that honor.

The following well considered article is from the Colton EagU, of Eastern Wash- ington, and presents the grand future of Washington in a clear, correct and forci- ble manner, thus: In considering the future of Washington territory it should not be forgotten that one of the greatest factors in the develop- ment of our resource* and the populating our domain is advantage of location inre- lation to the commerce of the world. Capitalists of the East are beginning to recognise the fact that ultimately the greatest commerce of the seas will be on tbe Pacific ocean. Study the geography of the world and you will find for your- self that the raw material that is neces- sary for the sustenance of manufactories is to be drawn from the countries whose shores arc washed by the Pacific. Look again and find, if you please, that Wash- ington has the liarbor of the world?the great Puget Sound. Consider, again, that Washington, Oregon, British Colnm- Ida and a part of Idaho can produce the building, fuel and food supply that is necessary to support unlimited manufac- turing industries and a population too vast 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 a myth to many, but the reasons given are sufficient. You cannot investigate with- out reaching the conclusion we make, if you will use reason, facts and history for your?guides. j To the man who wants to know what kind of a country it ia (or stock: Before answering such an inquiry, I once turned to a friend from a remote ranch «nd asked him. His reply, couched inthe vernacular of the country, was: ?It is a good country for cattle and horses, but it's hell on sheep.?* I bethought myself that he had made a snug fortune in cat- tle, so I knew the first part of his remark must be true; and on inquiry I found that he might revera the phrase and still have it true. The one thing necessary to harmonise the statements is to kee; the sheep and the cattle apart, as they do the sheep and the goats in the ideal pasture. The valleys of this district have been a paradise for stockman for the past thirty years. During all that time there have not been over five winters in which it baa been necessary to bring the stock off the range to feed. It is an all-the-year-round cattle country. The roRTi Ncs or the runmm Will, however, have to be made in fenced pastures, and with a better grade of stock. Experiments inthis direction are proving very satiafactory and remunerative. and cedar; rich, rolling prairies, where more wheat is grown to the acre than anywhere in the United States; exten- sive plains too dry (or fanning, but good for pasturage; an ocean coast line of 300 miles and a much longer coast line on navigable bays on that beautiful inland sea 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 part it closely resembles that of the south of Ireland. On Puget Sound they have to manufacture ice by artificial process, al- though the latitude to as high as that of Maine. Washington will make a superb state.

She has been represented incongress of late by a democrat, but he was elected on an anti- railroad issue, which was a temporary erase and played no part inthe last elec- tion, when a republican was chosen by a large majority.

Washington will support 1,000,000 peoplcrbefore her great area to at all crowded. In time she will be 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 the Indians or the various tribes in Wash- ington territory, British Columbia and even os far northward as Alaska, assem- ble in ?potlatch? and secure their supply of fish and game, a custom they still con- tinue. The name ?Booyos,? applied to a lake inthat region, means ?narrows.? The etymology of thia word has been corrupted into ?O Booyos,? which destroys its beauty. The lake is one of tlie finest flail- ing places in the territory. To the prospector: The new Salmon river mines are in the northern part of this district, and they are coming on well, as everybody knows who knows anything about them. The (act that ore has been found there is as much an accident as such things generally are. The great mineral field on this eastern slope of the Cascades bolds locked in its mysterious caverns wealth such as tlie lover of Ton Duchicela never saw in the Andean cav- erns to which the old girl led him. Within the past two years deposits of coal have been opened up which are supply- ing the market from St. Paul westward, and there are unopened deposits strung along from the headwaters of the Klicki- tat river on the south to the British lino on the north, many of which have been pecked at just enough to show that it is there. These finds will be developed by railroads, as the one ai Ruelyn was. The Notches valley coal is the moot promising layout known just now owing to Its near- ness to the railroad. It Is only thirty- five miles from the Northern Pacific, at North Yakima. The iron mines near Cle-Blnm will lie somewhat developed during the coming summer by a foreign company. The mines of the Peehastia range are known to be rich, and there is every reason to suppose that some old prospector will uncover gold and silver galore when be goes knocking at the rocks hard enough; but no land officer can tell him Just where to begin. The comet Indian name of "Conco- nnDj? ia "Sklow Onliman,? which means "money hole.? thus given by the Indiana becauae of the abundant beaver found in that locality in early tiroes, the akins of which brought them much money. But, the same locality?the Conconnully or Okanogan country?has proven to be a "money hole" for the white race in the way of the rich gold and silver mines found there. "Yakima? is an Indian name, mean- ing a "great socataah garden,? and also applied 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 the eastern part of the territory along the Colombia river. I'.

The chancel Is eighteen feet wide by sixteen feet deep, including the sanctuary, and ia apaidal with throe windows, the center of which Is a figure of the crucifixion. The front gable of the church (west end) is carried up above the planes of the roof in three equal stages of six feet each, and to surmounted with a large stone cross and haa throe long nar- row windows. The windows are all of cathedral glass, from Coulter A Sons, Cin- cinnati. The outer wall of the chancel to covered with shinies in cheram on tongue and grooved casing, and will wait for ita inner wall until the church to able to properly complete the same. The roof is supported on heavy trusses and to open to the peak and ia ceiled under the pur- lines vertically, with narrow tongue and grooved fir. The walls are massive, and the church is unique and quaint. In fact, Italready looks s hundred years old and when It is covered with ivy, as it Is Mg-'**, it may soon be, it will stand well for the hoary antiquity of the church, and will a present an anomalous appearance in a town not yetfive years old, still glittering in * fresh brick and new paint. Just so much of the future church as to needed for present use has been built. The enrichment of ornament and the enlarge- ment are left for the larger and richer con- gregation of the future. The church to seated 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 Railroad Company. Of this amount about $460 wan supplied by the Women?s Guild of the mission. About f«00 has been given by personal friends (non-resident) ofthe mem- bers of the mission and the minister in charge. Four hundred dollara has lieen given by non-rerfdenl property owners. live hundred dol- lars will be carried by the mission on a long loan from our church building fluid. Seven hundred and fifty dollars, yal doe, we hope to raise without intermitting the efforts which have led to results reported **The minister in charge and tbe bufld- ing committee (Col. Prosser, Mr. Bcudder and Mr. Bteinweg) take this opportunity will be preserved in the records of the y mission. . ... .rff-JOE I
