Boyd Of the Logan freeman has
recently made frequent use of ex-
pressiOns ike tkIs;
II Dague would refresh his mind with the fact
that he has assisted AID divided a steal on county
printing OF several hundred dollars egch. year hs
might imagine himself hanging literally.
A number of men who know Boyd
best and have known HIM longest IN
form US that when defeated in an
agument he always resorts to false
hoods and slanderOus inuendOes about
his opponent. The facts about the
county printing are that the Com
missiOners decided that the county
printing, for various good reasons,
should be done at the county seat like
the Treasurer's or Clerks business.
Then rejecting nominal bids from
| publishers at KiFWin and Logan on
/ the ground above stated, they decided
to allow sixty per cent of legal rates
! for county printing, and gave the Dis
! patch, the Democrat and the HERALD
20 per cent each or a total of so per
cent for doing the work. Thus the
county printing costs the taxpayers
but little more than half what the
State law says may be paid. The
! HERALD did not make these terms
| we receive only a very low compensa-
/ ton for the work we do, and there is
nothing unfair, unjust or unlawful
about it IN any way, shape or manner
and yet r. n. Boyd persistently,
wickedly, maliciously and repeatedly
prints the SANDER and gross libel that
the HERALD is guilty of stealing
from the county, in the matter OF
county printing. The reason why he
makes these maIiciously false charges
against the HERALD and not against
the Dispatch and Democrat, who
stand in exactly the same attitude as
we do. is not hard to understand.

THE seal is being rapidly exter-
minated iu Danish waters by direct
encouragement Of the authorities.
Rewards of three kroner for the
head of each seal killed, paid by the
fishing society of Denmark, is lead
ing to the energetic hunting and
Strengthening Of these animals. The
reason for this course is that the
seals are alleged to destroy the fish,
on which so many of the popula-
ton depend for food and employ
ment, and DR.. Fedderson, the
Secretary Of the fishing society, has
issued a map showing those parts of
the coast where, owing to the prev
alence of seals, the fishing industry
IL rapidly decaying. On the other
hand, where seal-hunting has been
most energetic, the catch Of fish
during the past summer was much
in excess of former years. On the
island of Hessels alone no less than
$40 seals have been destroyed with
in the ten months during which the
reward has been paid. These are
not fur-seals, but similar to those
which frequent the entrance to San
Francisco Bay.

AADeaeo 'FRONT.' II aopD.
A. A. Judson informs the Lynden
Press, Washington, that his hop
yard, which contains about 20 acres
and is leased to Winkler Bros, is
worth $4,000 this year. This is an
immense amount to be derived from
one field. He says that the cost of
harvesting and marketing the crop
will not exceed $1,000, which
amount will be put into circulation
in Lynden. By the above it will be
seen that the Winkler Bros. and Mr..
Judson will net clear return of
$4,000 or more from their 20 acres,
which far exceeds the return Of any
other crop on ten times the amount
Of land. 1t may be confidently ex-
pected that within the next year or
two hop raising in this valley will
be one of the chief industries, that
extensive fields will be planted and
more care taken in the cultivation
of the same, and thus by paying
proper attention to this industry
the farmers will be able to reap
large returns for their labors.

SUGAR BEETx IN YOUNG ORCH
ARDS.
A Few Facts About the Profits OF Beet
Raising

The Western Beet Sugar Compa-
ny has recently published some
facts gathered from the experience
of last year about jacksonville. The
expenses in this and all other cases
are stated as if paid for in cash at
current rates for labor and teams.
ANY one can see the difference in
favor of the farmer who does his own
work. Here is the record in a case
where one-fifth of the land was oc-
cupied by fruit trees.
The following is last years record
of a twenty-acre patch, one and one
half miles from the factory; sown
second week in May latter the last
Spring rains had fallen), with five
pounds of seed per acre, rows twenty
inches apart, thinned out second
week in June, harvested in October.
Yield of beets, 405 100000 tons,
or 20 5O8-20OO per acre. Yield of
sugar, SO 667-2OOO tons, or 2 1888
1000 tons per acre. Returns $3.50
o., or $50 so per acre, or "a 80 q
ton.
The expenses were, per acre:
Value of rent of ground, say SIS;
blowing, preparing the land and
sowing, IS; thinning, hoeing and
cultivating, 81 so; blowing out at
10 cents per ton, 80; topping at IS
cents per ton, $13; hauling at so
cents per ton, $40; total expense,
$40 SO; net profit per acre, SAL SO.
The beets were planted in a two
year old orchard, and in addition
to the above mentioned profit the
young trees were benefited by the
use of the land and also by the
stirring of the ground incidental to
the cultivation of the beets. Num-
crous more favorable instances
might be given showing profits up
to $40 per acre and polarization as
high as % per cent. but we wish to
point out that even at the price of
"a so a ton beets are good paying
crop.
This clearly shows that orchards
may be grown to advantage, while
an interest of 10 per cent. on $4OO
an acre can be made on the same
land. The cultivation of the beet
saves cultivation of the fruit trees.
The land must, of course, be plowed
deep and be well tilled.-Chico
Champion.

he would regret to see the effort
abandoned, and hopes that it may

No Poetry in Darkest Africa.

That journey was not through po-
etic glades, with here and there
thrown in a bit of messy dell, with
little or no underground and free ac-
cess and an open view into sylvan
wilds. You may remember your
experiences of last summer when you
took an excursion into the woods.
There you found poetic seclusion, a
graceful disorder, messy grounds,
trees of familiar kinds, springy turf,
bits of picturesque skies and the sun
shedding softened streams of light
upon tree and turf.
Ali The African forest furnishes
no such picturesque sights or pleasant
glades. Language is too poor to de-
scribe it. First, think Of the tropics
and climate of humidity and the
heat Of perpetual summer. You feel
as you enter into this unknown region
the robustness of vegetation. There
is a still, warm vapor in suffocating
volumes. First you dispense with
your upper garments and then you
want TO get rid Of the rest.
The gloom is 80 great you can only
compare it 10 the twilight Of evening.
You see the LEAKAGE rising up black
and green, impenetrable rlumps of
trees, some of them rising 10 the
heighth of $50 feet. There is no SYM
metry, grace or sofiness, but all is
wild, uncouth and awful. At every
step You see masses of bewildering
undergfowths, a wonderful variety OF
plants. There is an absence of any
sense of decay, but rather the sense of
the general healthfulnrss Of the plants,
an enduring youth, exhaustless Won

A special dispatch to the Kansas
City Globe says: President Polk OF
the farmers alliance has given up his
contest for the seat of Senator Vance,
the democratic senator from North
Carolina. The farmers alliance and
democratic leaders III that state
practically told him to mind his own
business and leave North Carolina TO
care for her own political affairs.
President Polk will now poke his
nose into the Kansas Legislature and
undertake to dictate who shall sue
coed Ingalls, in the senate. If the
farmers alliance members Of the
Kansas legislature are in need of a
guardian to think for them, vote for
them and act as political wet nurse

Petrlssd sand and Fossil shells.

John Dockar brought down with him
from the headwaters of the Elokomin
recently some specimen Of fossil shells
that be found on the bank Of the creek.
The shells are distinctly salt water in
their origin and are embodied firmly in
sea-sand that has become petrified and
turned to sandstone. Great banks of
this shell deposit can be found at in
tervals along the creek. Sometimes it
lies at an elevation Of forty feet above
the bank and at other times 1t is four
feet below the water. In some prehis-
toric age, when this portion Of Wash
ington had been the bed Of the Pacific
ocean, these shells had been deposited
and as the water had receded they
were left high and dry.-Cathlamet
