We all know that there is a "tide
in the affairs of all men which, taken
at the flood, leads on to fortune" but
the difficulty seems to be in getting
into the swim at the proper moment
We desire to call the attention of our
people that the tide is now flowing
which will land them at the high water
mark of prosperity if they will at
tempt the voyage 1t has been thor
oughly demonstrated that ten-acre
orchard properly cared for will yield
more than Il comfortable living for an
ordinary family. Our proposition is
that everybody provide himself with a
ten-acre orchard. Just at this time the
plan is feasible one for any person
who can raise from $500 to $500, and
whose salary or wages will permit
him to lay by a few dollars each year.
The manner of procedure is simple
There are tracts of ground which have
been subdivided into ten-acre lots
which the owner will sell for Il NOM
inal cash payment. with long time and
low interest for the balance. In some
instances no cash payment is requir-
cd if the owner will plant to trees and
care for them properly, the seller wait
ing for his money until after the or
chard is in bearing, thus enabling the
purchaser to pay for his place from
the crops produced. l. will not cost
more $50 per acre to plant and care
for the trees during the first year, or
$3.50 for the ten acres, and this would
be the amount of capital which the
purchaser would require at the Begin
ming. After the first year, $40 an acre
per year will cover all the necessary
expenses until the trees come into
bearing The rate of interest on pur-
chase price, per cent. per annum.
The Legitimate savings of person
getting a fair salary will enable him to
carry this burden with ease, and at
the end of the term he will have a
property worth from $4,000 to $4,000
if he wishes to sell, Or which, if he
lives on it, will yield him an income
of from $500 to $4,000 per annum. II
from any cause he should desire to
sell before his orchard came into
bearing he can dispose OF 1t at a
handsome profit. Many years exper-
fence has settled the proposition that
land when planted to trees will in
crease in value at the rate of SIS an
acre per year, so that, in the plan We
have outlined the purchaser can lose
nothing. On the contrary, after the
the first year he can at any time real
ize a handsome profit on his invest
ment. We present this matter to the
people at this time because the pres
ent season is more favorable for start
ing an orchard than any we have had
for years past or are likely to have for
years to come. It is a sure thing
either for the person who desires to
secure future competence or for the
small capitalist who desires safe and
profitable investment for his money.

The recent state legislature passed a
law, with an emergency clause, max
ing it grand larceny to cut timber
from school lands. Notwithstanding
this fact the work still goes On, and
several parties are known to be cutting
timber on school sections sixteen and
thirty-six in this township The mat
ter has been called to the attention of
Prosecuting Attorney Smell, who laid
the matter before the county commits
toners yesterday. AS a result Sher-
iff Price was directed to notify all
known violaters of the law that tim
Der stealing from state lands will not
lenger be tolerated. This action was
taken that ignorance of law might
not be pleaded. If the theiving is

We, of Shelton, are confident
that we have the finest site for a
pretty city. that can be found On
the Sound. All our visitors think
that way, and rarely it is that a
stranger leaves, without investing
in property, while those hunting
for a location have come TO stay,
as evinced by our increased popu-
lation and building during the past
six monthS.-this unusual winter
season. The Editor desires to see
the people. who have settled in
Shelton to stay aud put some mon
ey in its property, MAKE something
and will give them straight tip.
Pnt your spare cash in town prop
erty, and at once. Our word for
it. property will NOS be any cheaper
than at present. Perhaps You have
'.missed it," and see where you
could have made money, in other
growing towns, at other periods of
lite, and perhaps you will do so
again. All right, that is your own
lookout. for the man who can and
fails TO embrace the opportunity of
improving his condition, that ex-
lists in Shelton at the present time,
deserves to toll for every dollar that
he earns in the future. A mo-
ment's thought will convince you,
that there is nothing to- lose, and
everything to gain. Selah.

What Becomes of the Money?

A correspondent wants to know
what becomes of the large sums Of
money foreign investors are reported
as bringing to this country. Sales of
properties to foreign syndicates are re
ported to the amount of $60,OOOOOO,
more or less, and no corresponding
movement in specie appears. There
are two principal reasons why the
sale OF properties to foreigners does
not bring money this country. The
first is that American securities are
held largely abroad, and consequently
payments for American properties
may be made with these securities and
without handling a dollar of coin. It
Is true debts to the amount of the
purchase have been paid, but there
has been no transfer of gold or silver
to be reported. a second reason is
that the people of the United States
spend, collectively, vast sums in Eli
rope. Not far from 100000 Americans
go to Europe each year, and but few
get off with an expenditure of less
than $1,000. The trip can be made for
less, but II few months are spent in
Europe the thousand one may start
with will easily disappear. In this one
custom there is an annual expectation
OF money greater than the reported
amount of foreign syndicate purchas.
es OF American properties, And then
1t must be remembered that large
number OF rich American women are
supporting foreign husbands in good
style in the old countries. A good
many millions go this Way. Other
millions go for foreign goods purchas-
ed abroad for personal wear, and con-
sequently not subject to duty. Such
goods OF course do not appear in our
foreign trade balances. There are also
quite number of Americans of means
living abroad who are not numbered
among the tourists. In most cases
their investments are in this country
ana The revenues transmitted to order
On the whole it is not surprising that
the sale OF $60,O00,OOO of American
properties does not call for the trans
ter OF much foreign money to this
country.-San Francisco Call.

Much is now being said concerning
the upper sound. 1t is limited that .
road from Gray's Harbor might come
to Tacoma by way of the narrow
lsthmus between Hoods canal and the
extreme head OF the sound. This
would IMPLY the use of transfer boats,
such as are used at Kalama and Port
costa but would also greatly reduce
the distance, and enormously reduce
the cost of construction. Such a line
would control the great agricultural
resources of the great peninsula and
