The prospect for IA good crop of

is every reason to believe that the best
fruit crop is ahead of us, that has been
had here for years.
The cold winter, however, was too
severe for the orange trees, that are
all killed into the earth, and many Ia
dies are %lamenting the destruction Of
numerous tender flowers, which they
had taken into their houses for safety
and preservation.
Gardeners also have shown long
faces for some weeks, as they have
not been able to supply the market

Popularity OF the Bicycle.

Some definite idea OF the growth of
the bicycle business III this country
may be gained form the fact that
whereas the total number of bicycle
manufacturers in the United States
was hut six in 1885, with an output
OF Onl eleven thousand wheels. and
In 1899 but seventeen, with an output
OF about forty thousand, at the pres
ent time there are one hundred and
twenty-six factories, which will make
an aggregate of nearly or quite half
million machines this year. The in
crease IN the last five years has been
nothing short of marvellous, and it is
probable that the next five years will
see very great advance upon the
present products of these fast-mplti.
plying concerns. And now that bicv-
cling is becoming so much more oen-
eral than heretofore there is more rea-
son why we should improve our coun-
try roads. Ii road reform was neces-
sary hve years ago, it is far NOR de-
sirable now. Perhaps our city folks
Will help their country cousins to get
better roads hereafter.

Who Says Cows Don't Pay.

Many people who keep cows are not
aware of their profit, and some far
ners are keeping cows which are not
worth keeping and should be beefed.
1t costs little or no more to keep good
cow, and little care exercised will
,oon determine the poor animals The
proper amount of feed is necessary,
but good care and housing is also es-
sential, and when milk and butter is
sold, the animals should be kept
clean, the milk carefully handled and
the butter properly made. If this is
always done, a name will be estab-
lished in the markets, and such but
ter is always in demand.
In order to stimulate little more
attention to this subject, Mr.. Charles
Dunbar has kept record of the pro-
duct of his two cows, and the result is
here given: One COW came in Christ
mas and from her milk after it became
good, twelve pounds of butter per
week was made. The other cow came
in March 10th and from the mi k
of both, after selling 81 quarts, in the
last two weeks, he has made % pounds
Of butter, or an average of a pound
day from each cow. One cow gave
the first week, 213 pounds, the second
222, or in all ass pounds of milk. The
other cow gave the first week 216
pounds, the second, go pounds, in all
436, or a grand total for both of 81
pounds of milk.
The cows are of common breed, and
the good results show what can be
done with giving stock care. With
better breeds the results would be
much better. How many know the
value of their COWS? It would be a
good idea for our farmers to keep &C.
counts and the JOURNAL will be glad
to publish the results. Let us see who
has the best COW and what Mason
County can make in the way of a re-
cord.

to reject all bids for state text books.
The board remained in secret session
until after midnight yesterday, and
passed resolutions rejecting all bids
for the reason that many did not meet
the requirements of the law, while of
those which did nearly all were I'M
satisfactory as to either the price or

tary was instructed to notify bidders

Duties of Boom Companies.

suit of deep interest to the lOggers
and boom companies OF Puget Sound
was tried in Shelton last week.
Under the law of 1891 almost every
river in western Washington has been
filed upon for the purpose OF appropri-
alton by boom companies organized
for the catching, sorting, booming'a and
rafting of logs and other timber pro-
duets. The companies are authorized
to levy a toll of Is cents per 1000
feet board measure for their services.
They file with the secretary OF state
plat showing the portions of the rivers
upon which they propose to operate.
The law is silent to the extent OF their
control over the territory included in
plat. and as to whether they incur any
responsibility to loggers or the public
by reasons of their proposed appropri-
alton of it.
The case tried in Shelton is the only
one in which these questions have been
raised, and the luggers of Mason
county have given close attention to
it. Joseph Doyle, the plaintiff in the
ease, is engaged in logging on the
Skokomish river. A large quantity OF
his logs we're caught in a jam formed
within the limits of the plat filed with
the secretary OF state by the Union
City Boom Company. After failing
in his efforts to break the jam, Doyle
notified the boom company Of the
situation and demanded that it break
the jam, extricate his logs, take them
to its boom works and raft them for
towage on Hoods Canal. The COM
pany refused, holding that it was
under no obligations to do so. Doyle
then sued the company for over 81, 600
damages.
Messrs Kneeland and Tremper, his
attorneys, took the ground that the
company had. by the filing of its plat,
acquired monopoly OF that part Of
the river included in its limits, and
that it thereby assumed the response
bility of keeping the river in good
condition and free from jams. ?. C..
Ellsworth and John Arthur, OF this
city, attorneys for the company,
argued that the filing of the plat was
merely notice that the company
might in time extend its operations
over the necessary shore rights, but
that its responsibility extends only to
so much OF the river as is covered by
its works and actual operations, and
it's acquired shore rights, and that its
acquiescence in the use of the re-
mainder Of the plated area by loggers
and others is proof OF abandonment of
its claim thereto.
Judge Irwin charged the jury that
the company acquired exclusive rights
by the filing Of its plat over all the
area included therein, and became
liable in damages for failure to keep
the river free from jams. but that it
might show abandonment of its plat
claim by long-continued non-use and
by constant acquiescence in the use
OF the river by the loggers. The jury
wrestled with the problem all of
Thursday night and until IL o'clock
Friday morning, when they finally
agreed upon a verdict for the defen-
dant. All of Mason county was ar
rayed in two hostile camps on the
question, and the result was awaited
with excited impatience.-P.-I.
