THE NAVAL DRY DOCK.
SIDNEY. October 8. lss

SIDNEY, OCTOBER 3, 1881.
TO THE EDITOR: The article in today's Posr-
iSTELLIGESCEE entitled "The Naval Dry Dock"
10 highly misleading, and desire to correct the
impression that there II still any doubt a. to the
requirement Of land for the purpose BY the gov
ernment The government has already acquired
Loo acres OF the 300 acres necessary to comply
with the law and titles have been given BY
Jertsens, Hensel and Olsen to the land formerly
owned by them, and the money paid by the gov
eminent for the land. Lieutenant A. B. Wyckofr
took formal possession of the land and raised
the stars and stripes two weeks ago.
The condemnation proceedings referred to In
the observation-disclosures are instituted for the
purpose Of acquiring an additional forty acres
from the Port Madison Mill Company, which
can only be acquired in that manner
In justice to the facts in the case and
in the interests Of property owners in
Kitsap county, hope you will publish this
letter, for without this explanation the article
of October 8 is very misleading Most respect

Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia,
who recently posed as Democratic mis-
sionary in Washington and Oregon, is
evidently understood at home, for when
he started on his mission the Martinsburg
Herald, under the head of "God Save the
West" predicted that Senator Faulkner
would stand for suppression and silence
on number of topics when he spoke to
the West. We quote as follows:
He will not tell them that in West Virginia 1t
cost s40 900 for an extra session OF the legisla-
ture to throw out no votes-"colored man. came
from Virginia, worked for Cooper Il Co., voted
for Gof'-to declare Fleming governor; nor
win he tell them that high taxes and high
licenses are driving the B. e. o. and other indus
tries out of West Virginia, and that the laws
have been so muddled by a. Democratic legisla-
ture that the school teachers and court officers
and attorney general and Governor Fleming
cannot tell what is which and which Is what,
this, that or the other. Farmers OF the West,
our sympathies are with you. Mr.. Faulkner
used to preach here, too.

THE TRUE.

Thus spake the god: ''Taks thou this lutte Of
love.
So sweetly tuned IL It that when thy true
Thou meetest-and she speaks-the strings win
move
In sympathy. The lutte her presence wlll re-
And to no other soul, however fond,
Will these sweet tuneful notes of love respond"
/ took the lutte and went forth on my quest.
Through all the long and weary day the notes
The journey. When the sun sank to the West
The strains were gentle a. the singing Of .
And through the night while burned the
heavenly fires,
Thought rose above the sordid earth's de-
siTeS.
But now the precious lutte neglected lies
Outside the palace gate. Outlines the wind
blows free
And stirs the tuneful strings to plaintive sighs
And yet heed it not-ths notes are harsh to
me,
The True is wont 30 sweet her voice II
wrought
That all else seems discordant TO my thought

LNOR SOME TIME GREAT WANT HAS I been felt by the orange grower of Southern California for fertilizer adapted to this fruit We have been successful in finding just the food, and now offer to the orange grower our "Orange Tree Fertilizer It is an article thoroughly adapted to this tree, consisting of bone, potash, phosphoric acid ammonia and other ingredients, and is a complete manure for growing trees, from time of setting out to full maturity. GOphers will not work where this fertilizer is used, on account of their distsste for the phosphoric acid, which is very helpful to the tree--either orange or lemon. In the growing of other citrus or deciduous fruits in California the use of fsuperphosphstes according to Prof. Hilgard, will be found much better adapted to the purpose than either barnyard or stable manure, in that they contain the neces- sary constituents of which the soil has been de- prived by its long continuance in the cultiva- tion of such crops. In setting out trees, one pound per tree should be used, thoroughly mixed with the soil before irrigating The quantity used on old trees according to the age of the tree-tree years otd, 5 pounds; 10 years old 10 pounds. If the trees are 20 feet apart or more, and the soil be very poor, . greater quan. tilizer may be applied at any time before a rain or irrigating. Price, s36 per ton.
