For the past week lie has been guest of Matt Welsh at Filbert, an old school mate, and will spend the next few days with the Trodden family on Highland avenue. -Mr.

Reilly formerly lived in Bessemer near Mount Pleasant. He was 17 years of age when his father decided to shake coke dust, pull for the Golden West and engage in farming. Tom has been longing for a trip to ids native state and returned for a two stay among his old school mates and neighbors. Ile visited ins old home at Bessemer, finding the coal worked out, most of the houses, store, removed and his old scattered to different sections of Die county and country. Most of his old neighbors lie located in our Klondike liege of a fishing station have become millionaires through growth of the industry.

There are no sections along the beach for at present, Mr. Reilly says he has frequently seen 175,000 salmon averaging 7 to 25 pounds caught in a net twice a week during the season. They receive an average of 25 cents each from the canneries. Reilly will spend a few weeks in Pittsburg and take in some of the National league games. The growth of the west can be realized when one considers that Seattle 20 years ago had a population of 8000 and today boasts of a population or 250.000 and is leading all other western cities in the rare for supremacy uot excepting San Francisco.

AT THE HIPPODROME ut Bessemer James Devlin, his superintendent of bygone days, and William Burns are still there. While Mr. Reilly is glad to Im among his old friends he prefers west. He is impressed with the improvements made in the coking industry such a thing as electric harries, coke drawing machines and loaders being unheard of in his time. He notes the tendency toward cleanliness at Die coke plants compared with former times, green lawns, flower and baseball grounds instead of disheveled ash dumps near the stores and houses, particularly the Frick plants.

Among those that Tom will call on are J. P. Brennen, who was general manager, of the old McClure company when Bessemer, 20 years ago, was making the hest coke in the region. When Mr. Reilly went west his fattier purchased a small farm paying $27.50 per acre which was covered with dense timber.

Timber in his locality averages 7 to 9 feet in diameter near Die base. To improve the land the great question to get rid of timber by burning and otherwise. The were about to give tip and return to Pennsylvania soon after arriving in Washington but Tom said to stick it out. And after years of toil and perseverance thev now own two large farms of 160 acres each valued at $150 acre. Mr, Reilly goes in for dairying having 40 cows and raises hay and oats.

He states that in the Wenatchee and Wakima Valleys fruit is raised exclusively, one acre of fniit land being valued at to $400 per acre.
