that the condition of the crop IS backward.
The government report makes 1t per cent
worse than 1T was a year ago. Whale 1t
is too early, even if the exact acreage
could be known, to frecast the yield of the
crop when so much depends upon later
conditions, the production of cotton during
thep resent season is certain to be made
rally less than that of last year. Cotton
factors generally anticipate a reduction of
at least 100000 bales; and this conclu-
sion is favored by the government crop

THERE are several things which
San Juan county will need to con-
tinue her uninterrupted prosperity.
In the first place we need some
more Eastern farmers. with money,
to locate among us and convert
more of our forests and orchard
land into fields and orchards. Then
we need one or two fruit driers and
a small creamery. And last, but
not least, we want everyone OF the
so-called military Reservations"
in our county opened for settle
ment. 1t is shame that several
hundred acres of land should lay
idle at our very doors, with our
government saying hands Glands
off" with no idea of ever using it
for the purpose for which it has
been reserved.

The Portland Sun has the candOr
and manliness to pay Governor
Pennoyer this we'll deserved tribute:
Governor Pennoyer has been
abused for years by partisan para
graphers all over the country. He
has doubtless done an act occa-
sionally, and made remarks occa-
sionally, that could properly be
criticised; but the fact remains that
for eight years he has served the
people of this state faithfully and
we'll. He has not only stolen moth
ing from them, but he has allowed
nobody else to steal anything. The
state is out of debt. Our peniten-
tiary is conceded to be one of the
best institutions of the kind in the
country. The agricultural college,
the state university, all of the state
institutions have been carefully
cared for, so far as the chief ex-

PERHAPS the last attempt at f.
nancial legislation was killed at
Washington, Thursday, when the
House, by vote of 1874 to 161, re-
iected Cleveland's $5O0,0OO,OOO
bond bill scheme; all parties voted
against it more or less. The pop
ulists voted solid against it. 1t is
not likely that there will be another
attempt at financial legislation dur
ing the present session.

AT present it looks as though the
people of San Juan county would
have to build a cannery and fruit
drier of their own, if we would have
one within shipping distance. 1t
now looks as though the Belling-
ham Bay cannery scheme is doomed
to be failure. A small co-opera-
tive drier and fruit preserver locat-
ed some place in our county would
undoubtedly prove an ultimate sue
cess. By careful management and
a rigid sorting and grading of the
dried fruit the "Island Brand" of
dried prunes would soon find a
very high grade market. Their
extraordinary size, flavor and I'M
commonly good color together with
the fact, that, being evaporated,
they will not get wormy would soon
attract attention and out-sell any
other prune in the market. There
is no doubt but what the Italian
prunes grown on the Islands of San
Juan DeFuca are equal too, if not
superior to those grown in any
other part of the world. With the
proper kind of an establishment
small fruits could be converted into
jellies and jams, rather than canned,
and if a first-class article was put
up a good market could be found.

which reduces the road poll tax

amends the law of 1898, so as to
permit the commissioner to pur-

tax may be worked out at the rate
