Dear Sir: In a Fehrurry Ihhuo of your valu able ptiper f notice a communication from one out west who holds out the Idea that there are M-rhaptt a large number of Muckers In the Illinois country, and the writer Is particu larly anxious to tip his friends off bo fore they lilteat the bait and swallow the hook. We believe that the people of Me county are as Intelligent ns any class of people In t'le I'liited States, and that it is presuming on the in telligence of any community to take the role of a self-appointed wiseacre to tip them off relative to invest ments that concern them alone. c It Is well known that that there Is no more fertile section of country iu the L'nited States than Is found In Western Washington and Western Oregon. The Willamette, Kogue River and Hood Kiver Valleys in Ore gon, and the Wcnatchee, Yakima, Puget Sound and Klickitat Valleys la Washington are without a super ior anywhere In point of productive ness and profitable resources. (iooil land del red that can tie had for from $1."0 to $200 jkt acre Is cheap enough. A frugal man can take from such land from to $1,000 per acre each year. The Sears Jc Dorter or chard of this place, the oldest com mercial orchard here, has netted bet ter than $nj) per ncre each year for the past 10 years, and it requires no specialists to care for nn orchard here where the work Is all done along well established lines and un der accepted method The literature sent out by the com mercial clubs ami development leugucH of the various sections Is thoroughly reliable and the cities of the west are not becoming parties to any bunco schemes. Authentic del ailed information that Is reliable can be secured from any secretary of any of the commer cial bodies of the west. If some fellow has fallen Into the hands of bunco men and has proven an easy prey, and then sits down and howls calamity and lavishes advice because he got "stung", he should uot presume that every one else will do likewise, and to partially satisfy his weakness, seek to discredit the great Pacific northwest.

The location of the new structure, which is to 1 knowu as the Woolworth build ing, Is the southwest corner of Broad way and Turk place. The ground upon which it will stand was acquired at a cost of $2,000,000, and it Is estimated that the building itself will cost ap proximately $5,000.0(10. Like many of the more modern sky scrapers In New York, the Woolworth building will seek to apply old recog nized forms of architecture to new con ditions. The architect has discarded the familiar renaissance type nnd will treat the facade In Gothic. He be lieves he has worked out a design that will stand as an example of the archi tectural possibilities in lofty steel con struction. In order to support the tre mendous weight of forty-five stories it will lie necessary to carry the founda tion down to liedrock, a depth of prob ably 100 feet lielow the street. Among other things, the plan calls for a large swimming pool In .the base ment, nnd It Is likely that there will also be a gymuasium. MASCOT OF THE LINKS.
