NORTH LANDING RIVER.

Regarding this river. which is in Virginia
and North Corolina. the object is to secure a
channel feet deep and 50 feet wide from
North Landing bridge to Ferraby's Island,

in 1884,. since when tie operations have con
sisted in removing logs abandoned by RATS.
This was finished Inst year, since when

The Local Shopkeepers Refuse

ing the Distress

LONDON, March 1O-The Irish local gov
ernment board has issued report on the
failure OF the potato crop and the condi-
ton of the congested districts. Tie re-
port says that the districts in which the
distress appears comp iSe about half Of
Ireland and that the short crops are due
to the planting of Old Champion seed in
light, dry soil. The crop in some places
is excellent, but in the cold, wet lands and
mountain districts the failure is every
where serious. Corn crops are mostly
good, the yield showing fine average.
Other resources of the farmers are about
up to the average.
The report goes on to show that the
small farmers are in bad circumstances,
being confronted with "a scarcity of pota-
toes unprecedented in thirty years. caus-
ing the deepest distress i'm the congeSted
districts. The distress is aggravated by
the reluctance of local shOp-keeperS 10

mate the failure of the potato crop

meal.
The report gives details as to how the
suffering poor should be relieved, show
Ing that the distress is yet on the Increase
Relief applications are confined to the
cOngeSted districts of the west and the
labOring and fishing classes Of the south.
IL Is expected the pressure will become
more general between now and April.

said:
In again visiting your city, after an
absence OF over Il year, must comment
on the substantial evidencrS of grow h
and Improvement The towns of Wash
ingtOn are pruspprOuSly at the head today
and Fairhavcn ] believe is among the
promising.
As one interested in numbering and
the lumber Industry, my attention is, of
course, called to that business.
Il predict that the two splendid mills
now in operation are only an indication
OF what numbering is to be on the upper
Sound.
Mr.. Mundy, manager of the Bclliug-
ham Bay Mill company, has given ms cyi-
drncc that logs do not suffer from dpyaS-
tationS by the tOiodO as fearfully in your
bay as Is undoubtedly true in other mill
locations. IhiS, II generally recognized,
would be very important.
There is an abundance Of FIR Of the
hnest character tributary to your mill
Siles, and this, combined with your lacil-
tiles for shipment into Eastern markets
via the Northern Pacific and the Union
Pacific, as well as hy water. affords lum-
bermCn here excellent advantages Be
sides yours is the only manufacturing
point In this country having direct rail
conncclion with the Canadian Pacific. a
road that always makes the lowest
freight rates 10 shippers.
There is another matter TO consider
II is the Shingle industry. South Of here
along the Fairhayen and Southern rail
road is some Of the finest cedar have
ever seen grow. There is plenty of il In
this locality. The r,d cedar Shiugle of
Washington is today being used with
satisfaction In every state in the Union
An absolutely clear white pine Shinglc
Is as scarce as an absolutely clear con-
science In the East, and il requires about
as much vigilance TO obtain il. These are
practically all clear.
The shingle business has a future
here, and Fairhaven Is an excellent loca
tion FOR a plant. This, with box fac les.
furniture factories. match factories, and
other wood working industries / doubt
not will come in time and help you
materially.
No class Of manufacturing industries
dl-t ibutcS 50 much money among the
people In proportion TO the Investment as
those that manufacture wood.
Il see the HERALD frequently about the
Sound, and it is true index 10 the
thought aud mirror of the enterprise Of
