THE DIFFERENCE

A few weeks ago some Of the society
people, of New Whatcom, organized
local company to sing THE Little
Tycoon" 1t was announced that the
opera would be given two nights, the
first in Whatcom, the second in
Fairhaven. This was pleasant to
Fairhaven people, as IL gave an oppor-
tunity for some cultivation OF
entente cordidle between the people
OF the two cities. So 1.-THE Little

brilliant audiences that Fairhaven
had ever produced. The HERALD
desiring to be polite and friendly, and
knowing that IL wasn't very likely t.
happen again very soon, made some
little departure from its usual line OF
strict veracity, and actually published
somewhat fulsome article to that
effect.
At the same time some of Fair
haven's local talent were preparing
and rehearsing the beautiful cantata
Esther" for the benefit Of st. James
Parish Ladies' Guild, and 1t was sup
posed that reciprocity would have
most excellent opportunity in the
matter of return engagements. Th'
cantata was produced here Wednesda,
evening OF this week and was bille'

that is to say, last evening. Tn

Gradually it dawns upon one why
Senator Henderson wants an editor In
charge of the Congressional Record.
The increasing illteracy of congress is
what's the matter. Senator Mander-

will have no private secretary, and
then think of the Congressional
Record editing itself. Then also think
Of our handing such literature as that

EVERYBODY RIDE!

A gentleman, writing from Kansas
City to the HERALD a few days ago,
said that there are many people In
that region who would like to come
here, but they are unable to sell their
property, in that country, for enough
TO bring them. Now the fact is that
people who can't raise money enough
to take them from where they are to
some place else, are about as well OIL |
one place as they are another, that is |
to say, il they are where they can do
anything at ALL While it is true that
there is more that could be done here
than almost anywhere else, it takes
some capital to do things with, in order
to get a start. There are thousands
of acres of excellent land in WhatcOm
county, as well as on the Islands Of
San Juan county and numerous other
places in this region, that could be
changed into the finest farms, but
settlers would find it impossible to
live on air while they we're clearing
the land and raising a crop. The air
in this country is no more nutritious
than it is anywhere else. 1t is not as
hot in summer nor as cold in winter
as Mississippi valley air is, for in
stance, but in other respects it is very
much the same.

that sort Of thing. In replying "a
