MONEY IN CURING BACON.

The folly Of importing large quanti-
ties of bacon, hams, mess pork and lard
into a state which is naturally adapted
to the production of the best quality OF
bacon and hams is obvious. 1t will be
found. however, that one of the best
WAYS to build up great bacon and ham,
producing industry here will be to
foster and develop the dairy industry.
Denmark last year exported about $685.
600 900 worth of bacon but this industry
did not amount to much in that country
until the dairy industry had been built
IN tn great dimensions. Milk is most
useful adjunct to swine growing-so
much so that one of the most enterpris-
ING swine breeders of the Pacific North
west is building up herd of dairy COWS
with the primary object of having the
skim milk to feed his pigs. The swine
which are fed on the mixed diet OF milk,
clover, wheat, barley, potatoes and the
fruit that is too small for market, will
furnish meat which, if properly cured,
will make hams equal to those OF West
nhalia, or bacon as good or better thar
that of Denmark which sells for 90 per
cent more than corn-fed American
baoon.-The Rural Northwest

Honolulu, Feb. 2-Per Str. Warrimoo
to Victoria, Feb. 10-The six rebel lead
ers trie by the military courtmartial
were all sentenced to be hanged. They
are: Charles i. Guile, VIM. H. Richard
William II. Seward, Robert w. Wilcox
Sam Nowlen and Henry Bartelman.
Sentences in the last two cases will be
committed, as both men have furnished
valuable evidence for the government.
Gulick was born in this country. Rick
ard is an Englishman. Wilcox is a
Hawaiian. The only ole of the four
who is entitled to the protection Of the
United States is William Il. Seward.
AS yet no date has been set for the ex-
ecutions.
Queen Lii is to be tried for treason.
There is a lull in affairs here, and quiet
will probably reign until the military
court now sitting will have finished its
work. A large number of conspiracy
cases are yet to be tried, and the proba-
bilities are that the court will sit for
two or three weeks at least.
Great interest is attached to the forth
coming trial of the queen. The gov
ernnlent claims to have more than suf-
ficient evidence to convict her of treason
What her punishment will he in case
of conviction is hard to conjecture.

A PROMISING INDUSTRY.

The seed catalogue for 1895, of A. @.
Tillinghaust, the LaCOnner scotsman,
is now out, and from the ample selec
ton within its pages, it is evident that
our people ned no longer send to East
ern firms for their garden and other
seeds. The seed business is one that is
eminently adapted to Puget sound, and
the wonder is that more of our enter
prising farmers have not entered this
promising field before this. A profit
able business has been worked up by
some of our Puget sound farmers in
raising choice seeds for Eastern seed
houses, and these seeds have proven the
superiority of the Puget sound product.
Of all sections of Puget sound San Juan
county is pre-eminently adapted to this
business, and fine field is presented
here for its development. San Juan
county cabbages, cauliflowers, potatoes,
celery, and all other varieties of vegeta-
bles and root crops are unrivalled, and
when grown for the seed alone, produce
an article that is equal to the best.
A number of our local farmers will ex-
pertinent on market seed raising this
year. Do not get discouraged ifyou do
not make a bowling success the first
year, for seed raising, like other special
ties, needs experience to be grown sue
cessfully. There is no reason why
Puget sound seeds should not raise all
the produce grown OH Puget sound, and
no reason why San Juan county should
hot take the lead i'm this direction.

CONTEST FOR A BOAT.
Dated this 22d day of July, 1895.

In the libeling of the little steamer
Delta, yesterday, by Louis Henspeter,
for $l83.55, claimed to be the balance
due him as pilot, an interesting story is
brought to light of a struggle for con-
troll and possession of the boat.
In his complaint Henspeter alleges
that he was engaged last October by
Capt. Trautman, owner of the boat, to
act as pilot and master between What
com and Victoria, at a salary of $50 per
month, and during the time he was on
the boat he earned $29O.5O and was paid
$1O695, leaving a balance in his favor
of $183.55.
Capt. Trautman was seen by Post
Intelligencer representative yesterday
afternoon and told the following story
in relation to the matter: "Myself and
wife sold one-half of the steamer, last
October, to Louis Henspeter and J.
Meyer for $4,000 and took a mortgage
for $500. Henspeter told the lawyer
that drew up the bill of sale to make
the deed out to Meyer SO as to protect
him against his creditors, of whom he
claimed to have number. In the con-
tract none of the parties were to have
any wages, but were to share the net
earnings of the boat.
Shortly after starting on the route
they tried to get my wife off the boat
and made it very unpleasant for her.
She was acting as purser, and [ was
manager and first mate. 1t was one
continual squabble, and Meyers told
me on one occasion that if / didn't let
him run the boat he would see that
lost it.. This was not all. They abused
the boat shamefully and to such all ex-
tent that felt it unsafe to travel in it.
Last Thursday night, after Henspeter
and Meyer went ashore at Whatconl, [
went to the custom house and changed
the masters papers from Henspeter's
name to mine, and secured the services
OF Charles Matterson as mate and pilot
I then brought the steamer to this city
and tied her up at Yesler dock. They
evidently heard some time during the
night that l had taken the boat, for
they came down Friday, on the State
of Washington, with the intention, as
they said, of taking charge of the boat.
Immediately after landing they came
aboard the boat and told me and my
wife to get off, as Henspeter was master
I told them 1 would,t do anything of
the kind, and Henspeter went up to the
inspectors office and told his grievance
to Capt. Bryant and soon found out
that he wasn't master. They then came
down to the steamer, r lied up their
blankets and went ashore. This morn
ing Henspeter filed his complaint and
libeled the boat for $l83.55 for back pay
which he claims is due him."
Capt. Troutman furnished bonds in
the sum of $3.50 for the release of the
steamer, and will do general jobbing
business i'm this city until the case is
settled. The case is set for hearing be-
fore Judge landlord this week.-P.-I.

You feel inclined to fold her up and put
