TESTIMONY FROM EMINENT sCIEN-

A few years ago call was iSSu-

ber said: "TobaccU is not injurious.
I have chewed il for fifty Years,
and my father for sixty years, with
out prDreptible damage. All this

The actuury answered, "Stap for

DIRECT TRANSPORTATION

The people of the several towns ON Bel
bingham have the opportunity To secure
la themselves rare advantage in mat
ters of transportation II they will hut
unite in accepting the proposition recent
ly made by Captain Brown. representing
the steamer lIaytian Republic. Hereto
fore our merchants aud tradesmen have
dealt largely with San Francisco. hut there
has been no direct means Of procuring
shipments of goods from that point except
by rrhandlug aud reshipping either al
seattle ~ Tacoma. Now a proposition
comes Ia "a To make Bellingham Bay one
of the regular ports Of the steamship Hay

pcn>e of rcshipment and what l. fully ~

The advantages proposed are patent to
ALL aud were there no local iealousies on

ments hesitation in securing the benefits
which are offered
The fact, are that an Investigation of
the waters of the hay. with the present
facilities for landing and distributing
ircights reveals the fact that Fairhaven
j. the on the hay where the Republic aud
ships of her class can land. She carries
l.p tons aud draws with full cargo

there Is but little more.

economically aud speedily done.
Fairhaven. Of course. under these cir
cumstauccs is ready to consummate the
arrangement aud is willing to contribute
I largely toward the distribution ~ freight
T to other parts of the bay.
The only remaining question is whether
the local feeling is So great that the other
points ON the bay would prefer to continue
the present arrangements and suffer the
extra costs Of reshipment at Seattle or

I thus imposed, or whether their freights
shall be brought 80 nearly home that they
can be- looked after and delivered inn
mediately on THEN arrival at the bay.
No more important proposition has been
submitted to the people Of the bay. for II
We can reasonably hope to have a city or
cities ON the bay il is by reason Of the
fact that We are 50 situated as to make IL
probable that by using the necessary aud
proper means We can attain a commercial
importance. Commerce always means
competition with other points, and in
these times and In our situation CONNER
cal competition means freights. With
equal or better freight facilities aud
freight rates we can compete without
them We cannot.

all things purely local let the people Of
the bay foster and encourage pride in
the particular place in which they may
happen Ia live. Let our emolation OF

FAIR REPRESENTATION IN FUTURE


Our enterprising citizen, Mr.. Frank
Wilkeson, has rendered To Fairhaven
service for which he is entitled Ia a vote
of thanks al the hands of every
person who resides ON the bay. by an
arrangement made with the Seattle Post
lntelligeneer and the Tacoma Globe, Mr.,
Wilkeson is now regular correspondent
for those papers, and fairhaven will in
the future he insured a fair representa-
ton in the columns OF those valuable
journals.
The former correspondent of the Post
INTEL igencer has been directed To stand
hands OH 50 far as We are concerned and
to cuntine himself for the future to his
own end of the hay in any misrepresenta-
lions which he desires to make. This is
great step for Fairhaven. for the man
ner in which it has been treated by the
papers mentioned has long been JUS,
subject for complaint by our citizens. Il,
is due To these papers however 10 say that
their seeming unfairness and injustice
toward Us proceeded from the malice of
their local correspondent and not from a
desire ON their part to do ~ any injury.
and to say further that when assured that
/ hereafter they would be furnished with
reliable information and kept regularly
up with the times. they readily and
willingly made the arrangement. Here
after there will be much better feeling
toward the P.-l: and Globe In Fairhaven
aud doubtless those papers Will find .
suhstantantal increase in their business
in this quarter Thanks. Mr., Wilkeson
for this service.

Washington Letter.
TFrom our Regular Correspondent
WARRINGTON, ID, c., Nav 10, 1S9

From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10, 1890.
The President has been indulginS IN
some plain private talk in a pleasant way
on the pension question TO Republican
members OF congress The present status
Of the matter is what brought the Presi-
dent out. The senate has passed the de-
pendent pension bill substantially as it
was when vetoed by ex-President Cleve-
land. The house passed as q substitute
for this bill the Morrill, service pension
bill, which is both dependent and a ser
vice bill. This substitute the senate has
refused to accept and the house has re-
fused TO recede from Its position and the
whole matter has been referred TO q con-
ference committee. The President Is de-
termined that this failure TO agree on the
part OF the house and senate shall not pre-
vent some pension legislation at the pres
ent session II be Can help IL, and he has
been urging the necessity Of such legisls-
ton upon members Of his party. He has
not committed himself In favor Of either
bill, but II is evident that he thinks one OF
the other Of them should become law
without any unnecessary delay.
Personalities have several times been
INDUCED in by the tariff debsters this
week. No amendments have yet been
adopted to the bill, though quite a num-
Der have been voted upon. Everybody is
anxisously looking forward ~ next week
when the bill will be disposed OF as tar as
the house is concerned by Its passage.
The Jones silver bill is still the unfn-
ished business or the senate aud will so
remain until finally disposed OF. A num-
Der of excellent speeches have been made
upon 1t this week, including That Of Sena.
tor Jones in lis favor and oi Senator Tel.
Ter in opposition. Mr.. Jones' remarks oc.
cupied prrt of two days and are gener.
ally conceded 10 have formed the most in.
telligcnt and comprehensive statement Of
the entire silver question ever presented
in so compact form. This bill is the
one over which the Republican senatorial
caucus committee had so much trouble
and so many consultations and upon
which an agreement has not yet been
reached 1t Is believed that it will pass
the senate, but as the house caucus has
approved the Window bill. it will meet
with trouble there.
