the following account of tho establish
ment of a negro colony In Klickitat
county: An Afro-American colony in
tho state of Washington that will in
time number GS.C00 souls is tho
dream of Samuel Burdcttp. . of this
city, It is not altogether a dream,
either, for tho first settlers have nl-
ready taken up their land lr tho
eastern part of Klickitat county,
where It Is proposed to lccato a col
ony. Here, if Mr. Ilurdette's schomo
goes through, some soven townships
will eventually bo occupied by color
ed farmers. A town will be built,
but tho community will be primarily
an agricultural one, and tho Inhabi
tants will depend principally on tho
fertility of the soil for their prosper
ity. Tho scheme has been a pot one of
Mr. Ilurdette for years. In explain
ing his project yesterday, no said:
"Wo simply want ,to establish n
community whero us colored folks
can live, whero wo can make our
homes and turn out usoful and good
citizens. I sent out circular letters
all over the south explaining the
scheme and I got 17,000 answers.
Down south they have got colored
folks to burn and they burn them.
Over hero wo want to make a place
for them, whero they can live and
be good. If they're not good, wo
won't burn 'em, but we'll slap 'em in
Jail and give 'em a fair trial.
"Most of (he settlers will como
from Missouri, Tennessee and North
Carolina. Wo won't have any snlft
less, good-for-nothings. Any man lo
come must show us that ho Is able
to sustain himself for six months. If
he can't, we don't want him. If ho
ran' keep hlmsulf that long, the
Washington soil will do tho rest.
"Wo are going to locate our town
this summer, but I don't expect It
will amount to much beforo next
year. Tho big immigration won't
begin before a year or so. Wo will
have street cars, electrle lights and
everything that goes to mnko a first
class town. Wo will work up a com
morco with other parts of the state
and wo Intend to be a valuable sec
tion of the commonwealth.
"Wo have the Northern Pacific on
one sldo 12 miles away and tho O.
It. & N. on tho other seven miles
away. In time the railroad Is bound
to come right through our section,
'"'t until then we will have a stage
line.
"I have been working at this for
tho past 12 years and now It's bound
to go. It is no wildcat scheme. The
colored people of tho south are op
pressed. There Is no place for them
and we want to glvo them n chance
In Washington."

Crook County Cattlemen Will Make
an Effort to Secure Extended Limit
to Reserve.
It is probable that If the Bluo
mountain withdrawal becomes per
manent and is set aside in a forest
reserve, there will be a six-mile
limit attached to It for stock pur
poses, says tho Crook County Jour
nal. Efforts will be made to induce
the interior department to give this
amount of room for the stock inter
ests and Judge Biggs, who recently
left for tho East will go to Washing
ton ln tho interest of the cattlemen
who favor the withdrawal.
Tho movo Is In accordance with
tho rules governing the Cascade ve
servo with the exception that the
limit will bo doubled. Tho Cascade
reserve is surrounded with a three
mile area for uso only by .the stock
men In adjacent districts, and it Is
proposed to extend this limit an ad
ditional three miles If possible, when
the Blue mountain reserve Is 3et
aside.
The proposition meets with ap
proval on the part of stockmen Inter
ested and especially by tho cattle
growers who uso the area within tho
withdrawal for summer rnge. it is
expected that an order will soon lo
