Strawberries bloom as early as April

It has a picturesque location
Look which way you will an en-
trancing view of wood, mountain and
water meets the gaze. To the east
Mount Baker is seen, a monarch OF
the Cascades, whose snow-whlte
summit pierces the thin air of eter-
nal winter, with a jagged line OF
snow-peaks leading off hundred
miles to another sentinel-Rainier-
while to the west the Olympic range
throws its white caps against the sky
which the evening tints with charm
beyond eur pen to describe. To the
north, across the waters of the Straits
of Fuca, the blue mountains of Van-
couVer Islsnd-far beyond Victoria,
the sleepy old capital of British Co.
lumbia-fsde away on the horizon.
At our feet the busy town and
wharves with ships and steamers
from far countries while here and
there along the shores columns OF
rising smoke tell Us of saw mills, fish
canneries and other industies.
To the south and west there is
wide range of land capable of pro-
ducing all of the crops of the north
temperate zone, an area whioL, when
brought under cultivation, will sup
port thousands of families. Wash
ington Territory already leads the
country in the yield per acre of po
tatoes and wheat, and to enumerate

fruits and vegetables would De to re-

agriculture-are possible near Port
Townsend. For men who are willing
to work and assist nature. this Sec
ton certainly offers q diversity OF
opportunities.
The nearest railroad to Port Town
send is the North Pacific, just across
the Sound, but local line has been
surveyed to Portland, 207 miles, with
no grade exceeding forty>five feet to
the mile. This new road, the Port

Of construction, has secured 4O0
acres of terminal grounds and water

Port Townsend has more than one
string to her bow, but we do not wish
to mislead the reader with the idea
that everyone can catch on; that
there is fortune or even an opening
for men without regard to capacity
or calling. Good wages await trained
mechanics, laborers and domestics,
but there is no great demand for
professional men, clerks or tired
men; the outlook, too, is poor for
mere Office seekers or loungers, but
for farmers, gardeners, stock-rsis-
ers, lumbermen, capitalists, fisher
men, miners, manufacturers and
practical men in all productive fields
the openings are numerous.-Moses

POwderly's Letter. {.

The letter of Torrance V. Powder
ly, General Master Workman of the
knights of Labor, to National As
sembly No. 800 of that order, de-
serves more thought and considera-
tion than it is likely to receive in the
hustle and hurry of the closing hours
of our Presidential campaign.
Mr.. Powderly says. among other
things: Il am q protectionist, aud
in many respects differ from those
who are preaching protection in this
campaign. Were it not for the labor
organizations there would be no
protection for the mon who work"
These are pregnant words, and
the question which naturally arises
upon reading them and rejecting
upon them is this: How can any
man who believes in organization
for the protection of labor support
any party but the one which has for
quarter of century shaped legis~
lation for the protection of Ameri-
can labor7 To put the question in a
concrete form: How can any Knight
of Labor or member of any other in
dustrial organization make up his
mind to vote for party which has
declared its intention of exposing
American workingmen to unrestrict-
ed foreign competition?
1t is not necessary to point out to
any intelligent American working
man that it is precisely the same
to him whether he has to compete
with workmen who receive bat half
the wages he gets or with the pro-
ducts OF such half-price labor. In
either event he must go to the wall,
for human nature is such that the
employer will use cheap labor aud
the importer will buy cheap goods if
he can. Now American workingmen
have organized in their own behalf
and compel the employer to pay fair
wages, and they have Sc far succeed
ed that American wages are, as
rule, about double English wages
in the same kinds of employment.
At this stage of the game the Dem
ocratic party comes along and says
to the American workingman: "Vote
for US and we will not legislate to
lower your wages. although We will
remove the import duty from for
eign articles of the kind that you
make" What would be the conse-
quence? The goods made by half
price labor would food the country,
taking the place of American made
goods, and the American working
man would have to do ono of two
things-work for English wages or
go without work, These are plain,
every day facts, which no one can
gainsay. Can any workingman,
then, who believes ID organized la
Dor vote for the party which would
surely accomplish the disorganiza-
ton and ruin of American labor?-

The disagreement between the
English and American branches of
the Ancient Order of Foresters, has
at last eliminated in an irreparable
break between the two bodies. The
American branch persistently re-
fuses to e1punge tho word "white"
from ita constitution and by laws,
and accept negroes as members, and
the English members are equally
determined upon enforcing this de-
mand. AS a result the English
High Court has recalled all its for
mer signs and passwords, and has
issued new ones, so that no Ameri-
can Forester can now be recognized
abroad. The fourteen Thousand
courts of the United States will now
organize as a separate order, and the
Executive Council of the High Court
in Chicago will issue q new pass
word and key.-Nanaimo Free Press.

Editor Harsons Mistake.

The following from the Skagit
Nears is significant:
The NelUs has very carefully re-
Trained from mentioning MIR. Voor-
hees heretofore. and never has made
any disrespectful illusions to that
individual. As a reward for its care
in this respect, the Ne,cs came in
for it's share of the venomous fling
at country papers" The trouble
was we had been laboring under the
delusion that Voorhees, was gen.
tleman, instead of which we find him
to be only a blatant demagogue. He
will find that the "pencil pushers'
will assist in burying him SO deep at
the coming election, that he will be
past all resurrection.

At Petersburg Far.

In spite of rain, that prevented
any attendance upon the grounds
the first and last days of the fair, the
w. G. T. U. Dining Hall was a
signal success.
Its management was success
from beginning to end. The ut
most housewifely care was exhibit
ed in the arrangement of pantry,
kitchen and table. The fare was
varied and excellent. The serving
was prompt and polite. And the
results were more successful than
the most sanguine expectation of
the Union, under the untoward
circumstances. Two or three things
contributed to this end.
First, the liberal response of
friends to those soliciting donations
and the disposition on the part of
many to accommodate in every
possible way.
Second, the judgment and sys-
tenn displayed by Mrs. Neptune
and others in charge CT the Hall.
Third, the excellent manage
ment of the Ice-Cream and Lunch
Stand. Mrs. Logan more than sus-
tanned her well-earned reputation
in this line, and as a result of her
managerial skill, the stand Melted
almost as much as the Dining
