The Diary business.

The strong prices which have ruled for
butter and cheese during the whole SUM
mer. even in the face OF the worst imam
cial crash the country has seen for litty
Years, are Il wonder To 4 great many.
Every branch OF agriculture has lis ups
and downs, but w have never seen 4
period OF depression in dairy products
that carried the price below proht IN pro-
duction but once in thirtysiN years. That
occurred in the early part OF 1879. when
cheese, Tor some uuacCountdble reason,
went down to ) and 9 cents, but took i
sudden rise in the latter part OF luIy to a
good paving price which it has steadily
maintained ever since. Every hind OF
grain raising. meat production, wool grow
ing. the raising OF hops or tobacco seem
to be affected with frequent periods OF de-
preston, when the price goes below the
cost OF production, This is true at the
present time of WOOL tobacco and wheat
Indeed. both wool and wheat have been
in the dumps for two OF three years.
The produt ton of butter and cheese
presents cheering contrast in this par
titular, For years there has been a
steady profit in the production oil a FIRST
class article, Farmers who are thinking
of engaging in dairying will do well TO
consider this view of the matter. The
dairy business is sure. steadiast, and at
the same time reasonably profitable.
Where the creamery plan prevails, its re-
turns are fire. quent, so that the farmer has
ready cash once month. The increase
of population is greatly in excess Of the
increase OF COWS this fact keeps up a de

1.-THE KIND THAT CURES"

The prejudice of farmers boys against
farm life will be found to exist almost
wholly upon such farms as are given up
to steady round OF work, with no at
tempt on the part of the parents to af-
ford opportunities for pleasure or recie-
alton to their children. In the same cir
cumstances boys would take Just as vo-
lent dislike to any other occupation.
If you want the boys to stay by you, show
them that the farm is just as pleasant a
place as can be found. 1t does not re.
quire much effort to do this mainly a
consideration of the fact that the boy can
not look upon work quite from a mans
point of view. "All work and no play
makes Jack dull boy says the Maine
Farmer.

The time required to produce 4 valuable
growth of forest trees is not so long as
many writer's would make us believe. Ten
to fifteen years will produce a growth o.
European larch large enough to be thinned
out for posts and rails, and five additional
years will make the remainder large
enough for spiles or telegraph poles.
Chestnut trees require about the same
time for the same purposes. White pine
at Is years growth makes fairly good box
boards, and at 50 years makes much
better grade of timber.
As to the fear that our New England
hills will become denuded of their cover
ing of forests, it is more imaginary than
real thirty five years ago, before the use
of coal in our locomotives, the supply of
wood was rapidly diminishing, but since
the general introduction of coal for all
purposes in our cities, except kndIing fires
and a few ornamental fireplaces in the
houses OF the wealthy, the spontaneous
growth OF fire wood has been more rapid
than its consumption, and there is more
wood now ready for the axe than thirty
years ago Good timber, however, needs
more time far its growth than cord wood,
and more care to produce good result.
But when our people become aroused to
the Importance OF forest planting and pres
ervation there can be little doubt that tim
Der will be produced on our waste lands
in sufficient abundance. There is large
breadth of rough and rocky land all over
our country. well adapted to forestry and
to little else except pleasure grounds or
parks.

A MODEL ICE PLANT.
The Diamond Ice and Storage Company
I'm Full Operation.

I'm run operation.
Every person who saw the beautiful ice
exhibited in the mineral palace last July
will be glad to note the fact that the Dia-
moud Company, who furnished the ex.
hibit, has at last completed its plant The
delay caused by the assignment of the
contractors of the machinery has been
enough to ruin many a corporation, but
with determination 10 win, the incor-
porators have pushed all troubles aside
and now have perhaps the most perfect
ice plant on this Coast, if not in the
United States. The process of manufac-
ture is entirely new and the serious objec-
ton made heretofore TO all manufactured
ice, viz: the liability to taste of oil and
leave slime in the refrigerator. is en-
tirely done away with in this new process,
the artesian well water from which they
manufacture this beautiful crystal ice is
filtered some nine times through vacuum
during the process of freezing, insuring as
it does perfectly pure article that Is espe-
cially recommended for the sick, the table
or the refrigerator, while the manner of
freezing does away with the Objectionable
core-that causes ice frozen in cans to rot
so rapidly-and makes the Diamond
ice last longer and give q lower tenn.
perature in the ice box. To secure these
advantages the Diamond Ice and Storage
Company has been to great expense and
at times il seemed as if il would have to
give up. but after many months delay il
has its reward and now has pant it can
we'll feel proud of. affording as 10 does 10
the citizens of Seattle a means of securing
perfectly pure ice ut minimum price.
Persons who desire something fine to
drink can melt this ice and have the finest
artesian water free from any possible sedi-
ment. SO many delays having occurred the
past season 1t is but fair to state that the
plant is now in duplicate, preventing any
further stoppages, and with the ability TO
manufacture some twenty tons daily there
need be no want for ice in the future. The
list of stockholders of this company in
Guides many of the most prominent citi-
gems of Seattle, and it being the only ice
plant in the city should merit the support
OF the people. The completion of this en-
terprise affords a guarantee of cheap ice to
the wholesale fish shippers and insures
support to this industry that is next in
Importance to low freight rates. Ii is but
fair 10 state that the idle rumors of a COM
bination Of this company with any other
company are untrue in every way, and
the people can rest assured of the indie
pendent position Of the Diamond Ice and
Storage company at all times. The citi-
zens should give the company the sup

would redeem herself from the disgrace
thrust upon her.
Ex-Mayor Hall conid add nothing 70
what had been said The people we're tax
ing the proper course, they should act
without deiay.
Melvin G.. Winstock said the fear Was in
such moment that people would allow
their indignation 20 lead them into hasty
action.
Mr. Mcbride explained the process BY
which the accused could be reached. He
had expressed himself as opposed to call
ing the grand jury. and he feared that ii
would only be a hindrance. The legal de-
partment of :he city of Seattle is doing
its best TO reach all who were cuipaole,
and he believed the investigation 50 far
had been very fair. and better than could
have been done by sumnioning the grand
jury. One arrest had already been made.
A number Of other arrests would follow.
and be assured them that the prosecuting
attorneys Office was doing all IN its power.
He begged them 10 postpone for week
the calling of the grand jury. He asked
them TO excuse any divulgeace OF the pro-
ceedings of his Office. but they could rest
oSS1ASa tA9k Sout1 &c eSAt HAiASs3~.
John Fairfield agreed with Mcbride and
suggested that the COMMITTEES be author
lied 10 confer with the corporation coun-
sci, the prosecuting attorney. the mayor
and finance committee. and the desired
end could be reached most speedily and
effectively.
+. +. Blaine also Endorsed McBride's
proposition. He was in favor of the
process of information. Converting of q
grand jury meant that secrets must be
shared with too many people.
Judge H. G. Bond was called upon and
agreed with Mcbride. He understood
why il would not be wise 10 convene the
grand jury at present He favored author
izing the committee of citizens comforting
with the prosecuting attorney. He had
never known a holder and, if he might use
the expression. more vulgar robbery of
a city. He did not believe that any man,
asking and taking thousands of dollars
from the city treasurer, was in ignorance
of the fact that the money belonged to the
city.
Mr.. Blaine's suggestion prevailed. and,
although the resolutions prepared by the
committee were brought in, they were not
presented.
1t was arranged that the committee of
seven meet Mr.. Mcbride and Mr.. Dom
worth At o'clock on Monday morning.
The meeting then adjourned 10 meet at
the same place on Monday evening.
