Port Townsend is approaching
that state in It's development as a
city when prices of real estate are
sure to advance. This. however
should be steady increase governed
by the demand and assured bus ness

that immediate speculative benefits
mGy be gained is mistake not eas-
lily corrected and sure 10 produce
disastrous consequences. BY SELL
ing at prices which are at present in
accordance with the advancement and
prospects OF the city good profits on
previous purchases are possible and
those buying can hope for a measure of
profit commensurate with a safe and
advantageous investment. The ten
deacy 10 raise prices in anticipation
OF Il boom does far more harm than

talned is the Improvement of pur-

induce this values cannot lie based
upon prospective condition which

our advantages and resources. Pros.

1t is becoming mora evident every
day that tho future prosperity of
Port Townsend is assured. While
possessing natural advantages which
are vast IN magnitude AMI varied ia
character the zeal of her people to
make these available increases daily.
Too much emphasis cannot be put
upon constant activity in public inns
provements and the deyelopement of
our magnificent resources. A new
era has dawned and only Tie most
stubborn neglect Of great oppor~
tunity can prevent the progress of
this city to Il place OF controlling
commercial Importance in the North
west. But 10 attain this there must
be new capital, and new enterprise.

advertising our splendid advantages.

The democracy of Washington
Territory have demonstrated how
hollow and hypocritical were all
their pretentions in favor of woman
suffrage. Two years, ago, when wo-
men had votes, they were fiattered
by profuse democratic professions
in behalf OF the equal suffrage law
and Mr.. Voorhees, was posing in
favor of equal suffrage, declaring in
the strongest possible terms in his
speeches for the principle He was
also strong temperance nan(wher-
ever he spoke in temperance COM
munities). This year, when The
women are dis sfranchised, the demos
cratic convention laughs down re-
quest from the women that their
rights be recognized. 1t is safe TO
predict that Voorhees, will try the
straddling game On this question
this year. Two years ago Mr. Brad
shaw was slaughtered by the women,
on moral question, and now they
ale getting their reward from the
party they aided. 1t makes one
almost reconciied to their disfran-
chisement

The demand FOR houses to rent is
increasing daily IN this city. Were
there many mop ready Tor tenants
there would b, no difficulty in rent-
ing all readily. While this Is true of
the present season it Is certain that
next spring and summer there will be
far greater increase in population
and a proportionately larger number
seeking houses. Such being the case
the necessity for building more rent-
able dwellings, is very plain. Those
having capital can find no better in
vestment in the line of building i'm
provements than the erection of neat
and convenient cottages. When
money can be used in the buying and
selling of real estate at large profits
there is reluctance to put it into
buildings of any kind. Bat wLere
growth is as certain ~ aeci.ns to be
the case here rentals will Gyt only
pay a Large profit, but the building Of
| houses on lots of moderate cost tc
be sold is plan bringing beth gocd
financial returns and teaeIits to the
city. The otysntion of our capitalists
is urgent to consideration of this
| point and the Importance of promp,
action IN the direction indicated.

VIII Farming Fay?

There are farmers who succeed and
become Independent in their circun :
stances, and many more WHO do not.
The cry goes forth : Farming does not
pay" Those who succeed seem to do
- on the merit and muscle and are not
outside spectators. The basis OF .. ]
prosperity being agriculture, it is logically
true that if farming did not pay there
would be no prosperity possible. 1t is
true that the average Of profits is small
and the question is whether the farmer
feaps his share Of benefits. If be does
not tho remedy is in his own hanis and
10 must insist on his own rights. This
would require intelligen. &c. operation,
which is not always possible in fact,
though simple 10 theory. Let US look
10 tho various kinds Of farming 10 every
community. Some are shiftless and
blame their fortunes when they are them.
selves alone to blame for not doing good
work TO deserve success. To grow good
crops requires thought and judicious
labor. Experience is valuable and every
man must have the experience Of Others.
Il y safe to assert that the farmer who
plants we'll and labors well, and neither
wastes time or money, will succeed. He
must save manure and use it on bis land;
keep stock to eat wha, he grows; make
butter and sell fowls and eggs, vegetables
and fruit, and follow mixed husbandry
that will give him means to meet current
expenses and not run in debt. Then his
staple crops will bring price that he
can deposit in bank or use for practical
advantage and improvement.
This is topic that is inexhaustible
The farmer who succeeds generally has
customers anxious to secure his products.
while the one who does not is obliged to
cell and has no anxious customers. The
one anticipates every harvest and the
other often leans him money on his com.
Ing crop. The one pays cash and gets
eli his supplies at bargain rates, while

Death Of Roscoe conkl,n.

Ex-senator Roscoe Conkling, after a
brief illness died, at his home, April Is
* l:S0a. n, aged So years and six
Hoaths. The Oregonian has the fol
lsv;sg upon his lite and character and
public services:
Roscoe Conkling was born at Albany,
New York, October 30, 1929, and was
Ne ron Of q distinguished lawyer, Alfred
Conklipg, for many years United States
district judge. Young Conkling received
. high school education, but was not a
college graduate. He removed to Ctica
in 1916, rose rapidly in his profession Of
che law, was elected mayor eof Utica in
1858, was elected to the thirty sixth
congress tor the twentieth New York
district in November 1858, and with the
exception Of one term, when he was
beaten BY Francis Herman for reelection,
represented his district in the lower
house until March 4, 1867, when he
took his seat in the United States Senate,
succeeded Ira Harris. He was re-
ted in 1873 aud in 1879, and re.
sign in consequence Of his quarrel with
President Garfield in 1881.
No public speaker Of the last twenty
years ever hello an audience for two hours
20 completely under his command as
Conkling; no mans speeches we're more
effective as comprehensive campaign
documents. He had tn rare gift as.
-cribed by Bancroft to Chatham Of max
ing the "scorching lightning Of sarcastic
Wit play along the iron links Of argu--
ment Conklinff's speeches and personal
effort il 1872 saved the state Of New
York to his party; and he saved New
York and the election to Garfield in
1880. When Conkling was re elected to
the Senate 10 1873 the New York
World, bitterly hostile to his politics,
said that no citizen OF the empire state
ever had cause to blush for Roscoe
Conkling By hearing that he was open to
any form Of brides, Or stopped to political
jobbeiy, or any kind Or degree Of poll
teal or personal trickery.
