FRUIT DRYING.

Before the fruit season is upon us,
it would be we'll fer those who contem-
plate preserving this product by some
one of the patent processes of acknow-
lodged merit, to obtain all the inform
alton they can in relation to the several
machines now before the pnblic. The
Alden and Plummer Dryers, have both
established reputation, but the cost
places them beyond the reach of fruit
growers of small means and their ca
opacity is much greater than the neces-
sity would warrant The cost of these
machines with patent right, amounts to
several thousand dollars. There are
however, several new machines of Cali
fornia make which are being tested with
favorable results, that can be furnished
at about one-fourth the cost of those
which have pioneered the way for bus
mess that will revolutionize the mode of
preserving fruit.
If these tests are successful any Or
charlist of moderate means can supply
himself with q machine and manage
the business with far more satisfaction
and profit to himself, than if a more
expensive apparatus is used, owned by
a company that it compelled to absorb
a portion of the crop for toll.
A canvasser for the sale of fruits
dried by the Alden process visited this
place few weeks ago, and the quality
of his samples elected the admiration
of all who saw them. The fruit was
lighter and cleaner in appearance than
any We ever saw preserved by the old
process, and of course would commend
corresponding value in the market
when competing with the ordinary
dried fruits. It is claimed that almost
any product of the soil can be cured
by these machines and transported
with safety to any part of the world,
the length of time during which the
preservative principle remains being
practically unlimited. If this is true,
no crop need be lost through a glut in
the market. When stagnation ensues,
the crops can be stored away until such
time as ready prices make it an object
to sell for profit. It is gratifying to OBJ
serve that the progress made in the i'm
provement of agricultural implements
and appliances within the past few
years, the thorny life of the tiller of the
soil has been immeasurably relieved of
many Of its weary burdens.

A CORRESPONDENT writing from Tenino
under date OF 18th inst, says that Mr.. Thomas
Hewitt, the obliging Conductor on the
North Pacific Railroad, is ill., 1t is to be
hoped that his indisposition will be of short
duration, as his services are invaluable to the
company. Mr.. Farguson shipped carload
of hooppoles yesterday, and has two more
loads ready for shipment. Doctor Davep
port says that every good home wife has a
place where she throws all the suds and waste
water from the kitchen; but he thinks Wash
ington Territory receives all the waste water
from the great kitchen of the Universe. 1t
is thought that the surveyors engaged in the
survey of the Puyallup Railroad will COM
plete their work this week, unless delayed by
the snow.
MEssRs. Macleay & Co. received this morn
ing carload of groceries by the steamer

The operations of this firm are doing more
to create business and develop the resources
of this vicinity than any other influence, and
indubitable evidences that their enterprise
is meeting with an adequate reward.

NIL DESpERiNDUM.

In the course of conversation with
one of our most philosophical citizens,
a few days ago, he declared that the
stagnation of trade in his own partic
ular line of business had we'll nigh dis
couraged him, and that unless de-
cided improvement speedily set in, he
would cndeayor to seek new field of
operations. Now we submit, that it is
the manifestations Of just this spirit of
discomfort which has in some degree at
least, impaired public confidence in
our future prospects. The true SOL
der does not allow his comrades to
share his misgivings. Many battle
has been won simply by a determina-
ton to win; by supplanting shadows
with the genial, warming, healthy-be-
slowing rays of hope. There are in
Vulnerable reasons why our people
should feel renewed confidence. The
shores of our hay are dotted with log
ging camps, giving employment to
scores of men, an industry which few
years ago was unknown at this point.
Tie large shipments of hoop-poles IN
dicates that in that business dozens
more find lucrative employment. The
high prices and ready sale for farm
products, shows that farming may be
made to yield an adequate reward for
the hardy efforts of the husbandman.
The general interest manifested, and
inquiry made, for new fields of labor
demonstrates that better order OF
things will speedily ensue.
This is as it should be. Soon we
will be in direct communication with
an exhaustless market for all our pro-
ducts, and to maintain and ensure this
great desideratum, quite as much as in
the immediate profits derived from
each new enterprise, united effort
should be made now. Why repine,
while the light glimmers in the distance
Why hold back now when steady,
determined pull together promises such
important results? Everybody car
aid in this matter, and the first thing
to be done is to stop repining. Do moi
unnerve your neighbor by fruitless
complainings. Let him, if you will
not, endeavor to do something.
If a person habituates himself te
look only upon the dark side, he be-
comes in time chronic grumbler, ant
his influence subdues and neutralizes
the enthusiasm which should pervad'
all good works. During a residence O.
nearly quarter of century in this
place, we have never observed a sea
son pass, which was not condemned by
somebody. The cry of hard times
is as old as the hills, and is hcedlessly
used quite as often by those whose
worldly goods have steadily increased
in value, as by those who may have
felt the pinching influence Of want.
We are no believer in extremes O
any kind. Too much enthusiasm i:
liable to blind the Judgment, and leat
to disaster, but far more potent clos
to enterprise is disposition to fine
fault without suggesting and acting
upon some vigorous means of relief.
