Yakima hop-growers find that cost
OF production is this year to be ma
terially less than ever before. Irvine
is much cheaper than it was last year
Indians are most importunate in their
desire to Irvine and string the poles at
SO cents per day; white labor is in
dustriously seeking employment at SIS
per month and board; food OF all
kinds is cheaper, and the cost of
boarding employees is thus materially
lessened. The Herald says hops can
be put in the bale at CT to Z cents.
Diversified farming is receiving a

ten-acre potato patches are almost
universal. This thoughtful selection
OF various crops is great improve
ment over the old way of sowing wheat
on all the land and trusting to luck

Gates OF silver to unite for the great

The effort to commit the Democratic

Warner" he said, to awaken sem
timent in favor of the free and I'M
limited coinage Of silver regardless Of
the attitude OF any foreign govern
ment in the matter. The sentiment
in favor of silver is growing every
where, and every national issue has
sunk into insignificance in compari.

now stronger silver State than Colo
RADIO; Illinois is the same. Wherever
the silver issue is discussed, the free
coinage advocates are soon in the ma
jority. 1t is like the SNOWFALL rolling
down hill. 1t gets larger and larger.
The prairies and the forests are ablaze
with the silver sentiment. We have
the votes to win the fight, if we can
unite them. We are getting mighty
tired OF Grover-Sherman Republican
ism, and the silver men must rally
around one standard and strike to-
gether for the good of the republic. "

A POPULAR DoCToR.-Nearly every
invalid favors the doctor who pre-
scribes palatable doses, but an I'M
paralleled popularity has been at
tanned by practitioner in Iowa, who
maintains and proves by scientific
demonstration that when lads and
lassies-and older people, too-kiss
each other fair and square on the lips,
they do something that is conclusive
to health. This dear, good old doctor,
according to the Sioux City, Tribune,
affirms that ain the act of kissing we
only encounter benefcent organisms"
and that generally speaking, "the ad-
vantages of kissing outweigh its inf
Intestinal risk, for it provides lis with
microbes useful for Digestion" and
while this lovely old disciple OF Escula-
Plus does not say it, it is apparent,
that the more sugary and polonged
the kiss the greater the number OF
microbes. Old fogy doctors will please
quit preaching the theory that kissing
is " dangerous to the health" and say
no more about the "horrors Of infec-
tion," for here is a man who knows
what he is talking about and what he
says goes.

Wheat was selling in Walla Walla a,
40 cents with fair prospect of a sub.
stantial advance. This means a very
large advance over last year."
Speaking of the general prosperity
of the state, Judge Burke said:
"This state is rapidly becoming self
sustaining in nearly every line. In.
stead of importing hams. bacon, butter
eggs, ETC., the people are raising them
and from importers they have be-
come producers and exporters. Hogs
and cattle are now also Iaised east Of
the mountains in large numbers.
Fruit also is looking we'll and the
season is too far advanced to fear
further frosts over there. DIR. Blalock
has fruit farm of 800 acres, forty OF
which are in Strawberries; so that
summing up the situation generally
the outlook in Eastern Washington is
very promising. The fruit crop is ex-
ceptionally large, and that raised in
the Walls Walla valley is of the
choicest and includes every known
variety, including small fruit"

It Choppers" Its Risk.

Already the prediction of the
STANDARD is coming true, and we find
the Olympian preparing to" straddle
the buck" on the financial question.
The issue of Tuesday contains this
significant paragraph:
"Some people are Just foolish enough
to think that if the value can be legisla-
tive out of silver it can be legislated in
again."
Hitherto the Olympian has affected
to believe that legislation was just the
thing needed to relieve the vide
spread distress from tinkering with our
financial system; that the same turn
of the wrist that had dethroned silver
would restore it to its former prestige.
There is nothing "foolish" in such q
belief and it is sustained by the
soundest principles OF logic; still ODE

lately refused to appoint delegates to
the Utah silver convention, it now be.

WRECK OF TUG-BoAT.-A remark
able instance IF the penny-wise policy
is afforded by the loss Of the British
tug Mogul, off Victoria harbor, last
Sunday. After towing the bark Darra
to sea, the tug tried to run alongside
to secure q heaving line worth about
Is cents, when she was struck by the
sailing vessels bow, tearing away her
stem and opening up the seams of her
hull, through which the water flowed
rapidly. The accident happened q
few miles off Cape Flattery, and the
tug, though in imminent danger OF
sinking, headed for Neah bay inside
the straits, but she filled so rapidly
that it was necessary to beach her two
miles inside OF Tatoosh light among
the rocks. Not moment was lost, as
her officers aver she could not have
run another mile. The damage done
in collision and running the tug
ashore cannot be repaired, though the
machinery and boilers may be saved.
