EurOpe's Interests Made Plain.

A. Becker, of Prussia, was on the
Sound last week, on tour of this
country of which he had heard so
much. He is halloween of the two
largest amber mines in the world. In
an interview with the Tacoma Ledger,
he gave the following information OIL
some interest to Americans:
Mr.. Becker is conservative in
German politics, and takes deep inter
ests In political matters. 81 believe in
free trade" he said. GAIL Europe is
waiting anXiously to see the Wilson
bill become a law The Mckinley
bill had the effect of closing up many
factories in Germany, France and
England, and inf1icting great loss up
on trade" he continued. We can
not possibly send gloves to the United
States now and pay the Mckinley
rate of duty. OF course it is a mat
ter of fact that these industries will
be greatly revived again, as result of
the Wilson bill. We can again enter
American markets. But the McKin-
ley bill hit England harder than Ger
many. Over there, it simply closed
up hundreds of mills and threw thous-
ands of men out of employment.

Home Industry Pledges.

The party press can readily see the
principle in the matter of protecting
and patronizing our home industries,
but when the idea is broadened be-
yond their immediate town or cOun-
try, it is of another color:
People are beginning to look into
home products. They are examining
Spokane dairy products, Spokane
crackers, Spokane cigars, Spokane
candy, Spokane brooms, Spokane
brick, Spokane beer, Spokane baking
powder, Spokane -four, Spokane vine
gar and cider, Spokane paint, Spokane
soap, Spokane trunks and numerous
other .Spokane-made goods that half
the people were not aware were pro-
duced here. The result is that manu-
facturers find trade increasing and
dealers are pleased at the general ten
dency of the people to purchase the
home article, once they are shown the
importance of it. Dealers who never
paid any attention to keeping home
goods on their shelves are getting in
orders for the first time, because old
customers are suddenly demanding
the home article. Once the people
take hold of d thing it is bound tC
move, and that is what the people are
doing with reference to home pro.
ducts.-Spokane Review.

1t will be noted by comparison tt at the pro-
duct of Mason County for the past year, was
| about the same as that OF the year previous,
| and considerably above that of 1884, the pro-
duct of the Sol. G. Simpson Company being an
important factor in holding up the years aver
age, together with that of the Williamson Log
ging. Company, of Shelton which operated
matter of some surprise, owing to the continued
dizziness of the numbering trade and poor sale
for logs, quite a proportion being in stock in
the water, at Shelton and elsewhere. The local
depression was in a part caused by the inability
of 1umbermen to realize promptly upon their
product, the mills generally paying in 8 to
months paper. Most of the stocks in Mason
county are being sold, however, and logs will be
scarce in this section by the first of March.
Thomas Bordeaux, president OF the Mason
County & Granger Lumber Companies, estimat-
ed that on the first of the year, the available
stocks in the waters of Puget Sound or tributa-
owned and contained in the booms of the diff
ferent Mill Companies, which was estimated at
nearly hall that amount At that time the
available logs unsOld in Mason County were set
at 21, 900 900, which figures have probably re-
duced to about Il, 000,000 by sales during jan
uary.
1t is further estimated that Mason County cut
more than One-third of the logs put in on Puget
Sound or its tributaries during the year, of
course not including Gray'S Harbor, but actual
figures from other sections are not yet at hand.

Puget Sound Fir Lumber.

A San Francisco paper in speaking
of the splendid progress made at the
fair grounds has the following to say
of their lumber source of supply:
"The lack of delay in the building
of the exposition is due largely to the
splendid stock of lumber in the yards
of the San Francisco lumber company,
and the promptness with which the
demands were met. The most of the
lumber OF these beautiful structures
was cut by the magnificent large
mills of this company. Their mills
are all Oh Puget Sound, the pine, fir,
ETC. of that region being much super
ior to all others. Their location is as
follows: Old Tacoma, Port Blakely,
Port Gamble, Port Ludlow, Utsalady,
Port Discovery, Port Madison and
Port Hadlock They represent an in
vestment of several million dollars,
and have combined capacity of g.
10000 feet of lumber per day of 10
hours. The mills, being equipped
with electric lights, can, if necessary,
run also at night, thus being capable
of turning out twice the above
amount. Their equipment consists of
all improved machinery and appli-
ances, latest styles of band saws and
circulars, watchers, ETC., with automa-
tic sprinklers in case of fire and i'm
proved fan blowers and carriers to
convey the saw dust to the furnaces,
which burn nothing else.
The trade of the mills carries their
product to all parts of the world and
some of the mills have had as many
as a dozen vessels loading lumber at
one time. The company's trade in
the city of San Francisco and vicinity
embraces almost all the leading con-
tractors. The lumber used in the
Mills building, New York Mutual
Life and the Croker bulldog, are
among the many large buildings fol-
which the San Francisco lumber
company has furnished lumber.

Monmouth White French ArtichOke

The wonderful productiveness and
ease with which these Artichokes can
be produced is always a surprise to
those who cultivate them for the first
time.
They are an excellent food for cat
tie, sheep and horses, and the cheapest
and healthiest hog food raised, one
acre being equal to five acres of corn
for building up large healthy frames
with plenty of bones and muscle.
They not only grow rapidly, but fatten
on them, only requiring corn for a
short time in the finishing process.
The hogs harvest them themselves,
thus saving all expense, even that of
feeding. Freezing and thawing does
not injure them and the hogs will feed
themselves from October first, in this
latitude, until the late spring, when
grass has come. No farmer can do
better than plant piece of ground to
Artichokes without delay. They are
a certain preventive of disease.
On good corn land they produce 400
to 1000 bushels per acre. The tops,
which are produced in immense
quantity, make excellent food for
horses, cattle, sheep and mules when
properly cured.
To destroy them. pillow under when
they have attained foot in height.
They should be planted early in the
spring, cut small like potatoes.
Plant eighteen inches apart in rows
three feet apart. The next spring
break up the ground. The plants will
appear all over the surface. Run
through both ways and leave plants
stand in the hills like corn. Select
well drained lands. Three bushels
will plant an acre.-Field and Stock

Scope for Economy.

The Sumas Vidette thinks that the
salaries of county officials are too
high. There can De very little CUES
ton on that point. With the excep-
ton of the superior court judges, who
are not paid enough, nearly all the
county officials in the state are getting
too much either in salaries or per-
quisites. At the same time we would
not like to see special session of the
legislature called, as our contemporary
suggests, merely to cut down salaries.
We look upon this matter as one re-
curing great deal of consideration,
and the Vidette has done well in
directing public attention once more
to it. Our county establishments
cost entirely too much money and
one of the best services which any
man can render the state is to bring
forward comprehensive plan for re-
ducing such expenditures Seattle
