Ed. ISTELLIGEScER.-Terad has re-
ceived as he deserves) from many of
your reader. great credit for his we'll
written letter in the INTELLIGESCER,
headed, Let the People Investigate. "
You will find, Mr.. Editor, scores OF
your readers adopting the idea that q
dollar is dollar. not altogether be-
cause of the intrinsic value Of the me-
tai or paper Of which it 10 made, but
because OF tue power of the Govern
ment TO make it q dollar. This seems
TO be the only poin. upon which Terad
and myself differ. will give Terad a
nut to crack with his intrinsic value
theory: Copper cents to the value of
$3.50 were coined out of . pound of
copper the intrinsic or commercial val
ue Of which is only twenty-five cents
Here is difference of $l.35 between
the commercial and legal value of the
metal. Another Eut: Five dollars
wsrth of nickels are coined out of Q
pound Of nickel metal, the intrinsic or
commercial value of which is only sew.
enty cents. So the difference between
the intrinsic and the legal value of the
metal 10 $3.50. What becomes of the
idea that money material must neces.
sarily possess intrinsic value.

A GENTLEMAN from WILDLY Island
Informs US that the crop prospects were
never better there than now. With the
exception. perhaps, of potatoes, there
is largely increased acreage in nearly
all crops. The prospects for a large
fruit crop. he states. are excellent, and
much better than last year The late
frosts. which nearly destroyed the fruit
east OF the mountains and along our
river bottoms. and in neighborhoods
adjacent to fresh water, appears to have
been scarcely felt there As stated
heretofore. he says there are only two
logging camps now running on the
island.

POTATOES. - Usually one extreme
follows another; thus when an unusu-
ally high price obtains Tor aAy given
article Of produce for one season. it 10
generally followed up by correspond
ing depression in the market the next.
as high price brings on an increased
production. For some years potatoes
have been a drug in the market, and
producers are finding j. Improbable 10
raise them. Suddenly and rather un-
expectedly the price shot away up
above the wented figures last Winter,
and continued to advance until rather
fabulous rate was touched. 1t was gen.
orally conceded at the outset of the
season that these high prices would in
vite an immense crop Of potatoes into
the market the coming Fall, sufficient
to glut it completely and bring abou.
an unusual depression in prices. But
from what we can now learn this il net
tn be the case. and to use q current
phrase, potatoes will be potatoes
again next Fall" Although a large
acreage was planted in California last
Winter. in consequence of the high
prices there obtained. the blight, il is
said, has fallen on the vines in that
State and Southern Oregon already, and
the prospect bids fair for q
short crop again there this season.
We had supposed, however, that the
acreage on Puget Sound had been in
creased this Spring to such an extent
as to insure a large increase above the
usual product here. This. i. appears.
is not the case. We are assured that,
granting the season to be the mos. ia
vorable, the forthcoming White river
crop will fall below last years. Mr..
X. &. Smith who cultivated thirty five
acres of potatoes there last year. has
planted forty-fve acres tins season.
His is about the only considerable in
crease IN acreage. and what is true Of
White River valley is true Of the whole
Puget Sound country, 80 far as we can
learn. The high price obtaining nat
urally took all the potatoes out of the
country last Winter. and when plant
ing time came the farmers could not
get seed enough TO increase their acre
age, excepting at rates which they were
unwilling to pay. Potatoes are now
quotable here at 2l3 cents. Gu. own
farmers will begin to bring in new ones
in two or three weeks more. New pc
tatoes from California are already ar
irving. and as they come in, the price
declines

IL An Historian now in the city
gives rather gloomy account of the
future prospects of the Columbia river
fisheries. He says there won't be any
money in the business there this season
for the canneries, fishermen or anyone
else. The salmon fisheries on that
river are exhausted. he states. and they
will never be u source of profit to any
one again, on account OF the few sal
mon that will be caugh there hereafter,
and the hot competition in the bust
ness which must of necessity DO kept
up for some time to come. The great
salmon canneries of the future. he says,
will be established on Puget Sound and
the Yukon river i'm Alaska
