ANOTHER defalcation has been
brought to the surface by the final
settlement of an outgoing official.
M. J. Clump, treasurer of Clallam
county, was short 81, 1916 of the
funds that he should have turned
over to his successor. Of this
amount $500 was deposited in a
suspended bank. AS usual in such
cases he will not be punished. His
bond was worthless because of the
failure of wives of sureties to sign
it, so the commissioners accepted
the proposition Of the bondsmen to
make good the shortage On cOndi-
ton that Clump should not be
prosecuted.

BEE-KEEPlNG MISTAKES.
Some Plain Truths Told in q Novel and
Effective Way.

Effective Way.
In the American Bee Journal a
writer says: To think that the man
who never made a success at anything
tried, will make success with bees.
To try to keep 100 colonies where so
would starve. To neglect to give the
bees proper care in spring and fall-in
fact all the time-and hope for gener-
Gus returns. To neglect to put the
bees away into winter quarters in
good condition, then expect to find
them strong in the dawn of early
spring. To rob them of their stores
too late for them to replenish, thus
causing them to starve, then blame
them for perishing and curse your
luck. To try to use all patent hives
and appliances because some Oily
tongued agent tells him to, and ex-
pect to succeed. To ventilate his hives
with cracks in the roof and knot-holes
in the bottom. To keep plenty of
weak colonies on hand, and expect to
escape the ravages of the comb grub
by using a moth-proof hive. 'tNon-
senseH To fail to put on the surplus
cases at the right time. then blame
God, nature and the bees for no
surplus. watch, work and watt"
must be your motto in hoping for
success. To let the grass and weeds
grow so rank around the hives that
the bees can't find them, then expect
to become a prince in the business
To use old fogy dog-box hives, whose
internal mechanism you cannot view
without cutting out the combs, then
expect to become scientific. To allow
dirt and filth to accumulate on the
bottom boards of the hives, as hot
bed for the propagation of moths To
buy an extractor before you know
what to extract from-one pound sec
lions or brood nest. To boast of your
knowledge-talk about drones laying
eggs and the queen being the king bee.
To try to keep bees and not have some
books on bee culture at hand, with
which you are we'll acquainted, and
think yourself bee master To ex-
pect to reap wonderful results with
bees without labor. knowledge, pa
thence and costs. mo excellence with
out labor" To become cranky and
think no one else keeps bees as you
do. This is a progressive age. To
grumble because you have to feed your
bees some seasons.

The bill pledging the faith of the
United States to the construction
work of the Nicaraguan canal
passed the senate by a vote of 81 to
q. The canal is to be built on
nearly the same plan as the trans

government is sponsor for bonds to
the amount of $75,000,000, and
guarantees the payment of all in

How to Handle Poultry,

The Kansas Farmer says: Never
seize fowl by the tail, if fine one.
nor touch the back. but grasp both
legs at once with a firm, tight, quick
hold, and then raise free from the
ground or perch and hang the body
down clear of any obstacle This
method does not ruffle the plumage or
turn a feather. which in fine bird
must be avoided. When the web of
the feathers is once broken it can
never be united again, and where
much handled this often occurs, Civ
ing the bird ragged appearance.
DOVER, Del, was named for the Enc
Ish city on the channel The name Is
derived from an Anglo-Saxon word
meaning ferry.
DAHLoNEGA, Ga, was so called from
an Indian word meaning yellow wan
pun or gold. Gold was found in the
neighborhood.
BANGOR, Me-, had its name from
famous psalm tune. The name was
given by Rev. Seth Noble. The town
was first called Sunbury.

ALI Poultry Needs Salt.

1t is common error that salt is ia.
tai to poultry. This arose from the ill
effects of allowing poultry to get at
salt when they have not had it as a
part of their rations, and once thew
got access to it they ate enough to kill
them. All soft food given to poultry
should be sailed about as much as the
same amount would be for human use,
and If this is done they will never eat
salt to excess if they are allowed to
run where they can get at it. Salt is
one of the necessary elements of the
blood, and if it is not furnished in
some shape the health of the fowls
will be impaired and their productive
ness lowered. Farmer.

JOHN l.. MURRAY'S LETTER
And What Our Citizens Think of it.

When John l.. Murray went to the
state capitol we did not doubt but what
he would be heard from. We did not,
however think that he would make a
consummate fool ofhimself as soon as he
got to Olympia, by calling half of his
colleagues CATTLE. We print below a
letter which appeared in the "Republi-
can" and was credited to Mr.. Murray.
We Withhold comment and will only say
that we are glad that those who have
trusted and had faith in him have at
last found him out. We Withhold COM
ment but print a very few of the ex-
pressions of condemnation of Murray
and his letter to be heard on every side.
Those who had heretofore been his
friends are the frankest in cOndemning
him and his foolish methods, but many
of them requested our reporter to not
quote them. If he does not have to
answer for his language in the following
letter, on the floors of the legislative
assembly it will be case without pre-
cedent. Following is an extract from
the now famous letter:
"Ankeny cannot be elected, Mr.. Wilson
cannot be elected, Mr.. Allen might be,
Mr.. McMillin may be, and an entirely
new man is a possibility. Mr.. Turner is
talked of. Ankeny has bought all the
cattle here and there are no more for him
to buy The boys who oppose him are
fighting for the life of the Republican
party. He is not fit for the place and his
election would disgrace the State If An
keny is elected we have nothing to expect,
for the reason that he is in his dotage and
is man without any ability to win him
respect"

Heating the Poultry House.

Artificial heat in the poultry house
causes the hens to take cold when they
go outside; but the suggestion given
by us last year might be mentioned
again for the benefit of some who may
not have noticed it. It is to hang a
lighted stable lantern in the pantry
house on very cold nights. 1t will not
create much heat, but will raise the
temperature sufficiently to dry the in
terror and make the hens more COM
Portable. Care should be exercised,
however. to suspend the lantern by
the use Of wire, and to use every pre-
caution to avoid liability of destruc-

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.

In regard to the establishment of
a fruit cannery at Whatcom the
ISLANDER would say, five can not
have a cannery at home, then let
US have one at Whatcom. It is
undoubtedly about time that the
people of our county should have a
cash market for that kind of crops
which can be grown on the least
ground and bring the quickest re-
turns. We predict that if there
was a ready cash market, for such
produce as is best adapted to our
soil and climate, that the number
of our farmers who are dissatisfied,
and wanting to change location,
would be if possible even smaller
than it now is. Of course we would
like to have a cannery located at
some point in our county, but at
present we could not supply fruit
enough for cannery of any size,
and besides our transportation va
cilities are such that we can easily
send our fruit and vegetables to
the Bay city, and with a cannery
located there, receive cash in re-
turn, and cash is just what our
farmers are in need of at the pres
ent time.
We have raised hay and grain
for market long enough, at the
present prices there is no money in
it. Our merchants cannot pay cash
for either of these products for the
reason that they can not get cash,
and at the same time have to paw
cash for their goods. The question
arises, what will we raise that we
can turn into money? With fruit
cannery within reach we will have
a ready market for fruits and vege-
tables; with a creamery in our
county we could sell our cream, and
there is always ready market for
eggs and pork.
The most successful farmers in
the east are those who produce only
that for which there is ready cash
market, or that which they can con-
vert into something on the farm,
which they can sell for cash. With
the proper appliances, potatoes can
be converted into starch, beets iuto
sugar, hay and grain into butter
and our fruit canned or dried. for
all ofwhich there is cash demand
We can not hope to do all of
these things at once, but will it not
pay to gradually drift into more
diversified farming. Better sell a
part of the ranch and help get in
dustries started, which will create
a cash demand for the product of
the smaller tract. Then and not
until then will prosperity reign
supreme once more in our fair
island homes.
