Aberdeen Bulletin: at needs no prophetic
vision to see that there is not work profitable
occupation on Gray's harbor for such colony
To bring them here without provision being
made for their subsistence would be an act OF
gross injustice not only to them but to the
laborers now there. If the citizens of Hoquiam
are interested In this scheme they are under
obligations to give heed to this matter before
start is made to Grays harbor."
Hoquiam Tribune: 'The proposition Of the
Washington Colony Company as presented to
the citizens Of Hoquiam and Gray's Harbor
some weeks ago by the president, w. c. Gerard,
ESQ.,, of said company. and about which but little
has been said In the local press for the simple
reason that 1t was deemed inexpedient until the
plans began to assume a definite and certain
shape, Is considered by all parties materially in
tered as thoroughly sound"
Puyallup CitisG: "From the experience OF
the past three years 1t is evident that the danger
OF overproducing fruit does not exist, but that
the growing of sufficient to supply the local
market at fair prices viii not be so easily solved
Apples, plums, prunes, cherries and all kinds OF
berries are yearly shipped from California in
large quantities, regardless of the fact that the
home production is superior to any that can DO
imported"
Northern Pacific will shortly secure the Hunt
system. This, of course, was only to DO ex-
pected after the roads passed into C. B. Wrights
hands but it is none the less an important piece
of news. The Northern Pacific evidently recog-
nizes that Washington is destined to be one of
the most important states in the Union, the
New York OF the Pacific coast"
Blaine Journal: 'Blaine wants a better road
system. 1t is a burning disgrace that there is
not passable highway in the northern portion
OF the county. The partial, biased policy OF the
county commissioners is not only discreditable,
but unfair in the extreme. Without better
road system the growth and advancement OF the
northern portion OF the county will continue to
be seriously retarded"
Bellingham Bay Express: Commercial trav-
elers say that business is brisk all over the
Sound, money is getting easier and times are
looking better all around. The report OF the
tightness OF money in the great financial CEN
ters of the East has showed its effect in this part
of the country in one way-the people who have
money hang right to 1t for fear times really
should get hard"
Island County Times: "In order to advance
the public good every man on the island IL asked
to boycott the Chinaman. II has been decided
that this is the only peaceable means to get rio
of them. and if number refuse and still employ
and give encouragement to them the entire
scheme at once becomes Intellectual and inoper-
alive"
spokane Rerieg: ''The prohibitionists refuse
to be side-tracked by the new party movement.
II look very much as If our Democratic friends
would have to do the dying act in order that the
phoenix may have some ashes from which to
spring. So far they seem to be alone in their
conviction that new party is needed"
Mason County Journal: "The opinions on the
lumber situation are equally divided at this
time. We are by no means inclined to take a
pessirnistic view of logging for the balance OF
The wear. believing that the conditions are rather
on the improvement. having passed the lowest
stage"
Bucoda Enterprise: "some day fire win break
out in the business portion of the town, and
what then? If the Lord and good fortune are
not ON our side, the mischief will be 10 pay.
We need protection from fire, and need it
badly
snokane Norsh.csst Tribune: "0ne Of the curl.
Gus signs of the times is that every politician
who happens to own an acre of ground has sud-
denly developed an intense longing TO be known
as farmer.
spokane Northeast Tribune: "By the way,
speaking OF an eight-hour day, we notice that
farmers, railrosd and newspaper men are work
ing fourteen hours day as usual"
spokane Northwest Tribune: elf there were no
dissentions in the church more progress would
be made in G stianizing the world"
