Friend Hagan:
After so long a time I will try
and let you know we are all alive
and well, except myself, and it
may be that my ailments are im-
aginary.
I h>ve traveled the coast lrom
B. C. down to Portland and I be-
gin to imagine that this part of
the roast is "just a joke." Times
are very dull all along the coast.
in fact you can't buy a job unless
il is with the big lumber com-
panies or i ail road, and they lay J they are lucky.
^ | one gang oft one week and anoth-! box of tools in
ther the next.
The men are ,ust barely mak-
ing a living and do not know
where else to go to better their
condition. TheRanchmenehange
work among themselves and do
not hire anything done. The
land sharks have bought nearly
all the good land as the loggers
lett it lor $7.00 to $10.(XI per acre
and are asking $100.00 for it.
This leaves a man with small
means a poor chance to invest.
I have investigated this land at
Bellingham, Mt. Vernon,Everett
Seattle, Taeonia, Pu.vallup, Cen-
tralia, (Jhehalis and other small-
er places with the same result,
cotnes.
We left LJyman on the morn
ing of the 24th for Seattle and
layed over until evening and the
boys took in the town. We ar
rived here at l0:ili> p. m. and
next day rented furnished house
keeking rooms. Found Mr. T.
A. Pickering, an old Ked Kork
friend, living here and prosper-
ing, also K. H. How, who used to
ive at Bliss.
Tell all the boys who work at
Cat-punter work in Red Hoc.*, if
they are making a living at it
A man with a
this country at
the present time is handicapped j 'B scattered throuwh the flooded
for there is no work in the pacif-
We have at, all times a' vveli selected stock of
desirable patterns in 1 vknttutte, Mattings
and Linoleums.
The Prices and Quality will
satisfy you.

I then ca
and fonnd one of the finest little
cities I have yet run across. A
place of ItiOOO people on the Yak-
ima river. Viti the finest orch-
ards loaded with l'ruit of all kinds
I don't expect to buy anything
here for land is worth $230.00
to §4000.00 per acre here.
But if my health permits and
God is vviliing vv e expect to work
through the fruit season lierc us
we have tile promise of a job for
all hands as soon as peach time
ic north west. 1 have traveled
and i know whereof 1 speak.
Harvest is just petrinning south
of here and wages are going to
be pretty good so the.v say. F.
B. Glasscock is thinking of going
down to Horseheaven to try it,
and Lester wants to go but I
don't think I will let him.
Well friend Hagan this has
been an expensive trip for ns
so far but I don't regret the
money it cost for I think it will
be worth the money when we
get through,any way for the boys
We will probably be here three
o North Yakim nonths and I am going
Oregon Mt.
I like the climate on the ccast
tine and 1 can't hardly give it up
yet Bh- r may find something
here, but it gets pretty hot here
every day and I don't think there
is anything doing in tftie winter
here at ail. Wishing you all a
line time at the celebration, 1
will close fortius time.
Respectfully Your Friend,
W. J. Code.man,

A letter from Georrj M. Grace,
who formerly was connected
with a local commission house,
states people in the floohed dis-
tricts of Louisina are in a desti-
tute condition His letter, from
Winnsborro, tells of thousands
°f cattle perishing in the flood
and that losses for want of feed
are equally as great. -Mr.Grace
lias been in Louisina thirty days
and says, he will soon leave for
Oklohaaia, bringing some stock
caLtle which he will deliver in the
Panhandle country. He says:
"1 have been here for thirty
days buying cattle, and have
spent most of the time on boats.
For ten duys at a time all the
land 1 would see would be the
levee from tento twenty feet wide.
Tiie.y are holding as many c.ittle
aspossbleon these small strips
of land, feeding inoss and leaves
from trees which they gather by
boat. Lots of cattle are starving
to death. Wild deer driven b.v
starvation to populated districts,
are herded with he cattle. [ was
in a town named Naples and here
a part of the place was wash-
ed a way .while only the house
tops were visible of what remain-
ed. At Washington, La., seventy
miles from the Mississippi river
the water is deep enough to allow-
big steamers clearance. 1 vvasou
a government reserve boat for
some time, and we went ull thro
the flooded districts. Went over
farms nlongside two story houses
We would toad the boatwith refu-
gees untill we got a load and then
take them over to Natchez, Miss,
a town on high land,
"I've heardsomeshark stories,
but they have the real thing over
here. Noting uncommon to see
sharks ten to fifteen feet long,
and aligators, laying on to]) of
houses and bar&es."
Mr. Grace, encloses a clipping
from a newspaper which says:
..People are beginin.g to return
to their homes, now the high wat
erscare isover, although many of
them have to reach their houses
after miles of travel via skiff or
flatboat. Sunday nifht 400 refu-
gees from the camps at Baton
Rouge aud other points landed
on the leveo at Morganza
and made their way with ! eir
government rations to their hou'i-
iection between Movganzi and
Torras. Some of these families
return to homes, the second sto-
ries only of w hich are habitable
as yet, and many will have to
wait ten to twenty days before
they catch from their front por-
ches their first glimpse of land
above the water.
The river at Morganza has drop-
ped more than four feet, which
means that Bayou Sara is begin
ing to emerge from her unwel-
come bath.
"'V number of two story houses
in Bayou Sara have ocupar.ts on
the second floors. Traines have
been running into Bayou Sara
now for more than a week, The
station being well above the eity
proper, on tlio sloptj that ascends
to Mt.Francisville."—Live Stock

In the announcement column
of this paper will be found the
announc ement of J. F. Yowell,
seeking the nomination for sliei -
ilT of Noble County at the demo-
cratic primary in August.
Mr. Yowell is a resident of
Oakdale tow'iship and is held in
high esteem by his neighbors-
lie stands at all t imes for ecnomy
and lower taxes, and as for
clerks, he expects to have none
and only one deputy and he will
he paid for What ho does only.
Ha will take the otfi.ee of jailer
and tend to that himself, thereby
saving the county that expencr.
Mr. Yowell is well known bv
many of our cit;z >ns who will
vouchforcHpbbillty. Mr.Yowell
has been an advocate of democra-
cy for years and deserves
support of every lo)al rtemoor
in the county and he willapprt
iate the support and influence ]

worthy and an economical tnal
If the duties of the home
not allow the wife or inaid
