Profits of Fruit Raising.

In nothing else is this county so
backward as in fruit raising. In fact,
in the whole Puget Sound basin the
total amount Of fruit raised is not
more than sufficient to supply The
country population, leaving an
amount equal to all required TO sup
ply the towns AMI cities to be import
ed. That is. 10000 people on Puget
Sound must depend on foreign fruit or
go without. Nearly all the country
along the Northern Pacific railroad,
from its eastern to its western ter
minus, should be supplied with fruit
raised on Puget Sound. At present
over l 100000 people would pay ready
tribute to this region, and procure
their supply from it, if we were ready
to furnish them. Ten years from now
there will be from five to ten times
this number to be supplied. Only
SUI ficient fruit is now raised on Pu-
get Sound to supply about 100 600.
The profits OF fruit raising are
greater than on hops, hay, grain, dairy
products, poultry, vegetables or any
thing else produced on II farm. The
cost of starting an orchard is slight.
Almost the only serious drawback is
the deadening on part of the trees, or
black spots formed just above the
ground, because most farmers Will put
out their orchards on undrained land
Should every one able to raise fruit
on the Sound, go into this business, it
would be almost impossible to supply
the rapidly increasing market now
offered for all kinds Of fruit.
Apples, pears, plums, pruncs, cher
ries and most kinds of small fruits OF
the finest quality CAN be raised, and
in immense quantities, as cheaply as
anywhere else in the world. While
not specially suited for grapes OIL
peaches. the earliest kinds ripen' per-
fectly and can be successfully raised
here. The largest and finest peaches
in the Snonomish market last yeal
were raised in this valley. With prop
er care and skill one acre in small
fruit, after the first year, can be made
to yield from $500 to $500 each sea-
son.-Ellridge Morse.

The Steamer Beaver.

The Steamer Beaver, which will be
remembered by old Puget Sound pio-
neer, lies on the rocks near Vancouver,
British Columbia. When she first
came to the coast, she frightened the
wits out of the poor Indians, who ran
into the woods and hid themselves
when they saw her. They thought it
was the devil that came up smoking;
putting and steaming; but they soon
got over that, and it was necessary to
put up boarding to keep them away.
Old Capt. Rudlin, who commanded
the Beaver thirty yeats ago, recently
said of the vessel "The Beaver used
to carry only from two and half to
ten pounds. | have towed vessles with
a pressure of between two and a half
and five pounds. I mind one occas-
ion, the engineer told me there was "a
hole in one of the boilers l asked
him what we sheuld do, but he said he
thought he could fix it. He got two
or three sacks. rolled them together
and damned them into the hole. We
were towing the w. H. Bessie, Il yes
sci carrying about LOO tons of coal
and we got her in. To show you
what little steam she carried, there
was one winter, it was pretty cold
coming up the gulf, when the steam
gauge of the engine Was frozen on
several occasions. OF course this did
MT interfere with her running. jim
my Wallace was engineer at the time.
The pipe was frozen as we'll as the
gauge, but went along right enough.
The old Beavers piston's used to be
packed with rope, which was burned
out, or the steam would blow it out
sometimes, and, no matter where we
were, we would have to stop and fix it.
Now they have everything fitted up
with rings and plates in splendid style. u

Cost of Clearing.

Land in this county can be cleared
at figures which make them good val
ues when once prepared for the pillow.
A we'll known farmer near Chehalis,
whose land was thickly covered with
ash, alder, maple, cottonwood and I'M
derbrush, says the clearing cost about
$50 per acre, and that the profits
made from the first and second years
crops paid the bill Clearing iir or
other heavy timber costs more, and IN
some cases would cost SIS or even
500 per acre if the work is all hired.
The timber on such lands will often
sell for more than the larger amount,
SO that in the end it is not costly clear
ing. What is known us brush Lands
and river bottom and swale lands are
cleared for from SO to $50 per acre.
Of course prairie farms or land ready
cleared can always be purchased, and
now at reasonable figures. Large
farms are not needed here as in many
colder and less productive countries.
The farmer is not obliged to labor SIX
months in the year to raise feed tor
his stock the other six Then the
yield is so large and prices so good
that the products of a few acres make
a larger income than hundred III
many of the prairie states. The far
mer who has twenty acres cleared can
make il good living for his family; he
who has fifty has Il source OF revenue
from which the store for the "ralny
day" can be laid by Gf it ever cOmes);
while the hundred-acre farmer has in
deed a mine of wealth. A favorite
way is to clear off an acre or two for
garden, then slash and burn as rap
idly as convenient, seeding down to
grass behind the fire, and then the
rancher has pasture which will keep
more head of stock to the acre than
h. ever dreamed Of in other lands. In
time the smaller stumps will decay
and can be easily knocked down while
the larger ones can be removed at
leisure. Thus many Il farm has been
opened up at small expense and
even profit, besides aifording good
living to the family in the Interim
Folder.

Bond the County.

The proposition Of bonding the
county is before the taxpayers of
Mason county for consideration
and we believe they will take a "a
vorable view of the question. The
amount proposed is $4,000, which
will build substantial Jail and con-
struct the necessary roads in excel
lent shape. This county has
grown to snch extent that we
need Jail, and we are behind
nearly every other county in the
state on that point. The cost of
supporting any prisoners in the
Jail at Olympia is no inconsider-
able amount and a big saving could

pay for itself in the three years to
come, and we must have it. 1t is
only by bonding that we can
ever have good roads. Farmers in
all sections OF the county have fire.
quent complaint against the roads
they must use, and the means of
having good roadways is now in
their hands.
1t is suggested why not order the
Jail and roads built and issue war
rants in payment for the same. Be-
cause warrants draw interest at the
rate of ten per cent yearly, while
ample money could be secured bv
bonds which would only draw in
terest at the rate of 81 or 4 per
cent per annum. Besides the tax
necessary to pay the interest, which,
by reason of short time, must be
made up in two or three years, the
principal must also be paid; while
with bonds which would be for
long term, this interest would
be about one third. aud the bonds,
which would be for long term would
fall equally upon tt ,se who be-

ture and have equal ben1fit of the
improvements. On the other
hand it is claimed that by, reason

taxes on the roads the farmers are

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER

We have frequently pointed out
the necessity of doing something
Immediately to obtain a supply Of
water for domestic purposes and
protection from fire, and while a
little talk has been INDUCED in, NJ
move has been made in the desired
5direction. A number OF young Cit
lies in this country are in similar
] condition to Shelton in this res
pect, but their supply must be
brought long distances while ours
as near at hand, and-most of these
places have formed companies and
will put in suitable works at once,
without waiting for to be caught
with large fire and nothing at
hand to quench it. The charter
provides that the city may contract
for supplying the town with water,
Or to acquire, construct, repair and
manage pumps, acqueducts, reser-
voirs or other works necessary or
proper for supplying water for the
use of such town or it's inhabit-
ants or for irrigating purposes
therein; also may provide fire en-
glnes aud all other necessary and
proper apparatus for the proven
ton and extinguishment Of fires.
Enc law further does not permit
towns of Shelton's class to assume
an Indebtedness to exceed five per
cent. OF its assessed valuation, so
that it would be impracticable, at
this, the necessary time, tor the
city to undertake this matter.
There are several men of means in
Shelton who will join a company,
or aid in putting this scheme on a
substantial basis, and the city the
needed water supply. The solu-
ton OF the problem seems to be
that the city should offer proper
parties liberal franchise for q few
years, and encourage the parties to
take up the matter. Experience
shows that it is much better for
the consumers if the supply is IN
der the direct control of the city,
SO the latter should reserve the
right to purchase the plant at
tair price, when able.
