Polls and politics mix with land surveys and wool
A wide array of topics fills the page: Franklin K. Lane outlines railroad land grants surveys by 1916. Washington state figures show unappropriated lands and potential acres for roads and reclamation. a Yakima wool clip report cites profits and prices. C. C. Dill rises as a Democratic congressional candidate with a detailed bio. a California fire policy dispute with a Chinaman highlights insurance satire. and Spokane officials pledge tighter checks via initiative No. 7 backed by the state grange.
