Peppermint Growing In Washington


Tacoma Union.
car load of peppermint roots were
shipped to Kennewick last night by jack
son Hunt of the Tacoma Mint Company.
MIR. jackson was interviewed by re-
porter Of the Morning Union. and said:
This Is the first shipment of the kind
ever made on this coast. In fact, IL is the
first shipment of the kind ever offered to
the Northern Pacific railroad. 1t is not
apt 10 be the last shipment Of peppermint
roots, however. as the business Is bound
to grow and develop in this country
AT presens the only places in the United
States where peppermint and other mint
roots are grown are Wayne county, Ind,
and Wayne coupty. y. Y. But I hear
through 7. r. Osborn. secretary and man.
ager of the Washington Cracker Com
pany. of Spokane. that the roots in both
those places are not doing SO Well as here
tofore. and there is therefore great flu
ture for peppermint farms In this state.
Mr.. osborn's father is an old mint
grower, and he informs his son that he
can only raise ten pounds of fuid. where
he formerly raised twenty-five pounds IL
appears the soil is playing out back there.
The shipment made to Kennewick, east
of the mountains. consists of between 900
and 600 SACKS, containing about 500 900
roots. This will be enough to set out
about ten acres. We have out south OF
the city about nineteen acres of pepper
mint and spearmint. There Is big de-
mand for these oils. The roots do well
In this country. and the mint farm will
be feature OF Washington farming In the
near future"
Mr. Hunt says the roots are worth about
$50 per acre. He is arranging 10 increase
;he size of his mint farm His entire
sract consists Of 81 acres. situated near
American lake, The mint Is harvested
> and ~ fa
vested. Afterwards the fluid is extracted.
| The soil south OF the city and east of the
mountains Is adapted TO the cultivation OF
minis.

Why We should Annex Hawaii.
North American Review


Hawaii u m American state. and Is
embraced IN the American commercial
and military systems. The United States
has for many years past kept warships ~
Honnlnlu. and has exercised friendly
su1erainfy over the islands which - with
out parallel In the history Of the world.
The affisude of this government has been
that OF q de facto supremacy. In reality q
protectorate. The treaties that have been
discussed and ratified between these coun-
tries have been for the closest recirsccity
and fer restriction upon the dispooal Of
Hawaiian bays. hxrbors ard crown lands
TO other nations. and attempts have been
made by both to have ratified treaties OF
annexation. Indeed. for the past nifty
years this has been q question familiar
alike to Americans and Hawziians. and
fts Importance increases with each new
event In the Pacific and with each island
seized there by European maritime pow
ers- In 1856 Hawaii was nearer TO the
United States than to the territory OF any
other country. Now the English posses
sion. johnson island, acquired in 1891, Is
only 800 miles away. England has also
seized and fortified Tanning and Christ
mas islands. forming chain OF possess
sions toward Australia. France and Ger
many have not been far behind Great
Britain. Both have strongly fortified sta
tons In the Pacific. II IL a notable fact
that European powers. especially En-
gland. have been strengthening them
selves more ard more In the Pacific as an
fsthmian canal has become possibility of
the near future. England has. chain OF
fortified stations around the world at In
tervais or 3.0oe miles or less. guarding all
the main thoroughfares OF trade on the
globe. There Is single flaw. the nom
possession OF Hawaii. SIZE Is weaker In
the Pacific than in any other quarter OF
the world The possession of Hawaii
would make her strong where now she Is
weak. would make her the mistress OF the
Pacific an now she Is mistress OF the At
lanlic.

Editor Colfdr Chronicle:
This will inform the public that the con-
cert given by our school was a success.
Indeed, it was far better than many ex-
pected. The concert was opened by
prayer by Rev. Perry Woods. The ad-
dress of welcome was delivered by Master
Oncy Smith and was responded to by
Master Demcy Smith. The programme
was then carried out in full. Many
beautiful recitations, dialogues and
school songs were rendered to the delight
of every one present. The gun and flag
drill was grand. Too much praise can
not be given Misses Sarah and Margaret
Smith for the beautiful school songs
they sung. They sing by note, and are
splendid songstresses. Prof. j. B. La
fargue, of Alexandria, La, delivered an
interesting address. The Professors talk
was strictly confined to the cultivation of
more moral pride and the education of
our boys and girls. He was warmly ap-
plauded. Our worthy superintendent,
Mr.. Jno. A. Williams, visited our school
Friday, the 10th. He found our profes-
sor very busy. Come again, Supt.

through Colfax last Tuesday afternoon.
Their line through Colfax was run be.

true line. as the surveyors made an Off
SGT about mile south of town, in order
to avoid small lake, and the real lire
is therefore several hundred feet further
