A Steamboat Which is here to Stay.

See change in Str. Buckley AID. This
steamer carries the mail betwee II Friday
Harbor and AnacOrtes, and is regular,
safe and reliable. Arriving at Ana
cortes in the morning, on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday, she goes on to
the Bellingham Bay cities, and returns
to Friday Harbor via Anacortes, and
the island ports, in the afternoon. On
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday she
leaves Friday Harbor, for Whatcom, at
six in the morning, calling at Orcas,
West Sound, East Sound, Newhall and
Olga.
The people of our county should not
forget that before Mr.. Newhall secured
the mail contract and put the Buckeye
on this route that we had no Anacortes
boat and that from the start he only
charged living prices for freight and
passenger accommodations, and that
any pecuniary advantage we may re-
ceive from "rate war; will be only
temporary and we will have to pay for
it in the end, if we do not patronize
those who have treated us fairly in the
past, and on whom we can depend in
the future.
The steamers Lydia Thompson and
Buckeye are both here to stay, and we
think both will deal fairly with the
public, and should be patronized.

FRUIT GROWING IN WASHINGTON.

Fruit growing in Washington is a
matter that Interests all alike and in
its development is one of the leading
factors that is going to obviate the i'll
effects of low-priced wheat. The state
board of horticulture has succeeded in
organizing branch societies in the prin-
cipal producing localities throughout
the state, and through these sXpects to
develop the industry Systematically
and profitably. Reports from these
various societies have been gathered by
the board relative to the yield and
prospects of the present season, and
and from these an estimate of the value
of the output is made $4,000, 900, con-
siderable increase over 1898, notwith-
standing the fact that low prices have
ruled generally. In the eastern part of
the state the entire fruit crop was large
Prunes were good crop in the prune
districts and berries and all small fruits
yielded well on the Sound. Walla,
Whitman, Yakima and Clarke counties
have sent large consignments to the
eastern markets and fair prices are
being paid in the Sound markets for
fruit well put up. The board advises
the planting of an increased acreage of
winter apples, and, judging from visit
to the various commission houses, there
is plenty of room for improvement in
this direction, provided growers will
produce superior quality of fruit.
While there is a plethora ofapples offer
ing in the market at this time, it is a
noticeable fact that in desirable grades
there is a marked scarcity and that
choice apples are commanding good
premium. The superiority of Wash
ington fruit over importations from
other portions of the coast is also notice
able and the recommendations of the
board will, if intelligently acted upon,
prove of great value to producers, deal
ers and consumers alike.-West Coast

BURGLARIZED

The Swedish Lutheran church has
been burglarized. 1t is not known when
the burglary was committed. The dis
covery was made last night by the Rev.
Mr.. NorrbOm.-
The thieves got in through a window
in the basement An ak was secured in
the furnace room, and trunk belonging
to Anna Holm was broken into The
trunk was partly ransacked. but the con-
science of the burglar or the approach
of some one prevented robbery.
The woman had given the trunk into
the charge of the preacher while she
went on a visit to Meriden. It was
thought that she had money in the
trunk, and this morning when Sergeant
Donovan lifted the lid off the tray there
lay large pocket book. It was filed
with silver and had not been molested-
