Trip to the Great Northwest
By A. T. GREEN r
Friends and Neighbors —
1 have just returned fiom my west
ern visit and will give you a little sketch
* t what I saw and bow the country and
t rops looked. ,
We started from Coyle Jun> :i, over
t ie Santa Fe H. It. I kept a close watch
^ct crop conditions all the way The
t ‘inch bugs were very had all the way
t rough Oklahoma* and Kansas. In
n auy places the people had set tire to
• t eir wheat Helds and burned them off.
Alter we crossed the Colorado lire Into
t e Irrigation district the crops looked
bfter, although most of the alfalfa was
io t on account of the cloudy, damp
w ather. The same conditions existed
all along the route we went.
We went from here to Denver from
f o Repair River Bridge,
1. The river bridge at this place
which lias been in bad condition
for the past several months, is to
be repaired at onee. A meeting
"f Coyle citizens will be held to-
passed over to the Yakima river country gight and arrangements made to
where we found some good farming land I,, *. ,, .

and everything looked nice—the build-
ings having a homelike look We next
passed to a little village called Toppeo-
ish in a rich valley under irrigation, the
chief crop being alfa fa with fruit of all
kinds. Now we come to the , beautiful
town of Ellenshurg in the most prosper-
ous country we saw along this routef
We then passed into the mountain coun

high onn can hardly see the lops of them.
We will now give a sketch of the route
from Seattle to Portland, Oregon.
The first few miles is through a con
tinual gardeo, the finest we ever saw,
berries of aV kinds, cabbage and pota
toes as far as onj can see. Next some

am 9 and Billings if what I would call a
wa te—not even a grass country
We saw the battlefield where Custer
and his army was massacred. There is
a tig monument erected to his memory
on the very ground where he was killed.
From Billings we took the Northern
Pfcific via Butte, Montana, from there

along the R. R. here. Now we come to
a burnt over country. This is a sad
sight to 8.:e, the land covered with dead
stumps from 10 to 100 feet tall, burnt
black. We pass this by then come to
