by our water falls, lights our cities and farm homes, draws our
street cars and some railroad cars--pushes most of the machinery
used in manufactories, to the great satisfaction and profit of
our citizens.

The State of Washington was once a paradise for the sportsman in

craving for the excitement of the frontier. The state has deemed
