HOW MURAr HALsrEAD WORKS
The Great Editor Grinding Out Copy for
Five Hours

Murat Halstead is a shining type OF the
working journalist. He lives at the Bre-
wort house. Every morning he is at the
Standard Union office, In Brooklyn, by 5
o'clock. and sometimes earlier. A dozen
pencils have been sharpened for him. and
he throws off his coat and plunges into
work without any fussy preliminaries.
He writes steadily until 1880 p. m. The
result Is over half page Of strong, yet
graceful expressions Of editorial opinions.
Then Mr.. Halstead writes column
often a two column-letter 10 his Cincin-
natl paper. This he sends every day,
SUNDAYS included. His associates look
upon him with wondering eyes. But Mr.
Halstead says that he has found some
difficulty in filling in his spare time. Fol
that reason he has now taken up some
.'outside" literary work. Some little time
before he left Cincinnati Mr.. Halstead
employed stenographer. But he filled
the steGographer's note book in no time
Then. having so much more time than h'
needed. he would take up his pencil anC
busy himself again. The consequence
was that he did about two mems work
and he was pretty well tired out when hi
day was over. With all his capacity 70
work he Is invariably In good spirits. III

had seen the splendid location and the
many advantages OF the harbor he could
not help but make a favorable report of the
eligibility of Bellingham bay as the site
for the proposed naval dry dock. On or
before November LIST coal bunkers will be
constructed and that very useful article
will be ready for delivery, the iron mines
now being opened will soon be turning
out vast quantities of the finest Of iron
and IL will be turned into steel in the vi
entity of Fairhaven, the vast timber re-
sources which are necessary TO navy

ed Bellingham bay TO be the scene OF
every kind of industry. No other place,
section or region combines so many re-
sources and this fact cannot help but
make an impression on the mind OF Ad-
miral Brown. Ay all means bring the
Charlestown TO Bellingham bay.

respectfully called to the stencil arising

An American Beauty in Ireland

Mrs. Adair, Of Rathdaire. ireland, who
according TO English newspapers. has re-
fused an offer OF sl,7J0,OO0 for her cattle
ranch in Colorado, holding the property
for round two millions, Is the daughter
Of General Wadsworth, OF Geneseo. N. Y:
At one time she was dangerous rival OF
Mrs. Lily Hammersley for the title OF
duchess of Marlborough and such affec-
tions as the graceless duke had TO bestow
with 1t. Indeed, the Oxford Chronicle
Berks Gazette, published at the town
nearest the ducal seat, In its issue OF
September IL, 1885, announced the en-
gagement Of the duke Of Marlborough
and Mrs. Adair. Mrs. Adair was the
widow Of Colonel Montgomery Richie

Existing indications are that this coun-
try will have but a small surplus of grain
and general farm produce this year. Con-
sequently what the farmer has TO sell will
be almost sure TO bring a good round
price. In the end therefore he will re-
ceive nearly as much money as he would
with twice the quantity at half its pres
ent value. Consumers will necessarily be
compelled TO pay more for their stuff,
which will be harder upon them, but Sc
far as producers and traders and general
business are concerned, the conditions ol
prosperity are more favorable than last
year with its immense surplus depressing
the market. Wholesale and retail mer.
chants generally rejoice when crops ar,

they are very large, for they say 1t makei

A CORRECTION
The J. R. Mcdonald Refuses to Join the
Steamboat Trust

The probability that the steamer j. X:
Mcdonald will join the PUGET. Sound
Steambo Association has stirred up the
chamber OF commerce to again take up
the matter of securing moderate rates to
down Sound ports. The committee on
transportation will meet In few days to
concert measures 10 this end. John
Leary's steamer, Bailey Gatzert. which
has cost s1OO.OOO, will be launched In a
month and will 90 into independent COM
petition. and Mr.. Leary volunteers to
contribute this boat and $4,000 towards
the capital stock of a company with
s2jO.OO0 stock, which will build another TO
run in connection with the Gatzert."
The above item appeared In a recent Is
sue OF the Post lntelligencer and was
copied by the Bulletin. The statement
that the j. r. Mcdonald had joined the
Puget Sound Steamboat Association Is
incorrect. as Capt. McGregor, of the
steamer, In conversation with represen-
tative Of the HERALD stated emphatically
that he would not under any circum'
stances Join the trust.

FAIRHANEN. Wash. Aug. a6. 1890.
Editor HERALD: | would like TO ask
through your columns a few questions
touching the welfare of our city. Why
do we have a city government? Why
are laws passed and written on the statue
books? What are police for? Why do
we paw them such snug salaries? shall
the council pass laws and leave IL to the
discretion OF the police TO enforce them?
When will prostitution and gambling
joints be abolished? How long are the
saloons to be permitted TO run with wide
open doors on Sunday? Whose duty is IL
TO prosecute Contractor Burlingame for
carrying on city improvements on sun
day In violation of law? Why should all
public Improvements be let by contract
FOR non-residents TO clean up several
thousand dollars from each street instead
OF having the work done by the city I'M
der the charge Of a competent street COM
missioner when that method would not
not only save money to the property own
ers. but furnish employment TO men OF
families who do not wish to board In a
camp? That is the way the charter
trainers of Seattle have decided shall be
done there.
Who is responsible for the expensive
work being done in the gulch on Larrabee
and Tenth streets, which will all give
way In few months and have to be done
over again? The crib work is being laid
on soft foundation. with no piles or
braces Of any kind TO protect IL against a
washout. Better take a lesson from
Whatcom's dilapidated streets.
When will our health officer visit some
Of the stink pools on several OF the prin-
cipal streets and use his authority to have
them abated?
Ofscourse there are persons who can an
swer these questions and the whilom pa
tient public pauses to hear them answer

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

1T is a long road that never turns"
For several years in succession the con-
tinued depression in prices in the leading
agricultural products of this country has
been such as TO create doleful comment
in public speeches. in papers, in marts Of
trade and in the halls of congress. Every
other kind Of business seemed to be pros
pering more than the occupation Of rails
ing grain and cattle for market.
But the depression which existed was
Of a peculiar nature. II arose not from
want or scarcity. but from over album
dance and low prices which were the
natural result There was so much OF
everything ON hand that the producers
could not get enough for il to make bust
ness profitable. Singular as the state
ment sounds. plethora or glut in trade
circles is fully as destructive and disor-
ganizing as absolute lack Of material.
Prices Of grain reached their lowest
turned. Since last February and March
when the upward movement first started
in slow way. there has been an almos
steady rise in the market value Of nearl!
everything which the farmer raises, ex
cept cattle. Wheat started at about q
cents a bushel aud went into the imme
diate neighborhood Of 81 per bushel
where it is at present, with fair pros
pect Of going considerably higher. Cor
started at about 30 cents bushel, and
now close to 80 cents, with good prospect
Of still further advancement before II
Oats started at about 20 cents, and ar
now in the region Of IS cents per bushe
Potatoes, which all last year dragge
around IS and 10 cents in this market. an
now about sl.25 per bushel. A simils
rise in the value is true Of many vegs
tables and other farm products. In fac
about the only things which are not hie
at the present time are dairy produc
and live stock.
