The 0flcial Paper Of San Juan County.
THURSDAY, APRIL End, 1895.
PRIME RAISING IN THIS COUNTY.

A few of THE ISLANDERS friends
have questioned the propriety OF pub
fishing the item referring to the action
of Mr.. Meyers and Mr.. Gibbs, ofOrcas,
in DESTROYING their prune orchards,
which appeared. in this paper in the
Orcas news two weeks ago. The publish
ers of THE ISLANDER conceive it TO be
their duty to publish all important
items of news relating to the indus
tries of the county, even if they are
not all of the most encouraging char
acter. The action of Mr.. Meyers and
Mr.. Gibbs in deliberately destroying
prune orchards that were just coming
nicely into bearing has accustomed
much comment throughout the county
especially as it was Mr.. Meyers who
first demonstrated beyond question the
adaptability of the soil and climate OF
this section to the successful prOduc-
ton of the Italian prune. But the
fact that he has notion now, which,
by the way, few orchardists in the
county will share with him, that there
is more money to be made in raising
Bartlett pears, should not be regarded
as fatal or even serious blow to the
prune industry Oh Puget Sound. The
facts remain that numberless little
valleys and sunny slopes in San Juan
county are admirably adapted to prune
culture and that the prunes dried at
Orcas hast fall are pronounced by the
merchants who have handled them
far superior to the sun dried prunes of
California, and the Washington prune
command better prices in the Eastern
markets than the California product.
III Clarke county, bordering on the
Columbia river, which is the principal
prune growing county Of this state,
and in the Willamette valley in Ore
gon the rainfall is considerably greater
than it is here and the fruit is just as
liable to injury from cracking IN the
fall. The difference i'm price in favor
of the Washington product is more
than sufficient to cover the difference
i'm cost between sun drying and kiln
drying, and this state has decided
advantage in the matter of cost of pro-
duction and transportation to Eastern
markets. That there is no immediate
danger of over production is shown by
the fact that for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1894, under the Mckinley
tariff, 9,90S, l22 pounds of plums and
prunes, grown in foreign countries,
Were marketed in the United States,
while in the following year, under the
German tariff, the above figures were
increased to l4,3o2,057 pounds, with
much lower prices. The prune growers
of this state are not likely to make any
mistake if they support at the polls
this fall the party which protects their
interests and then keep right on raising
and marketing first-class fruit.

A NEW DEPARTMENT PROPOSED.

There is much to be said i'm favor of
tho proposition embodied in Senator
Frye's bill to create q new cabinet
Office by the establishment of de-
partment of Commerce and Manu-
factures," which would greatly tighten
the responsibilities and burdens of the
secretaries of the state and treasury
departments and conduce to greater
efficiency in these most important
branches of the government service
There is certainly as much reason for
such step as there was for the creation
OF the department of agriculture and
the wisdom of that move is becoming
more and more apparente every year.
So vast and intricat are the financial
interests of the government that the
mind of the secretary of the treasury
ought not to be diverted from their
care to the consideration of the affairs
the bureaus of navigation, statistics
and steamboat inspection, and of the
lighthouse board, marine hospital SER
vice and coast and geodetic survey,
now included in his department and
which it is proposed to transfer to the
new department.. if created. 1t is also
proposed to include in the new depart
ment the entire consular service. now
under the control of the secretary of
state. As the duties of consuls are al
most entirely commercial such trans
fer would have substantial fOunda-
ton in common sense. The secretary
of state will have enough to do if he
confines himself to the supervision of
the governments relations with foreign
nations. Surely the interests of conn
merce and manufactures i'm the great
est industrial country on the globe are
vast enough to warrant the establish
ment OF a department OF government
especially devoted to their protection
and development, and presided over
by secretary of the broadcast views
and soundest business judgement. 1t
Is to be hoped that the new department
may he created in time to give the
next president the honor of appointing
Its first secretary when he organizes
his cabinet.

some interesting figures showing the
decrease of the public debt during the
administration OF President Harrison
and its increase under President Cleve-
land. The Press says: 1.-The treasury
books show that OH March l, 1889,

Inauguration, there was S266, 4o4, AL
i'm the treasury, and on March l, 1888,
Immediately preceding Clevelands
inauguration, the total available cash
was $l24,I2S,Os9. The difference IN
these SUMS indicates tie failing
revenues in the last year of the Harri-
son administration, due to expected
Democratic tariff reductions. In the
four years of Harrison the national

THE hollowness of the ordinary Pop
ulist's pretences of reform and uncom-
promising opposition to corporations,
and especially railroads, is well illus
trated by the fact that not one of the
twenty flour Populist members Of the
last Legislature lost minutes time
in accepting all the railroad passes he
could get hold of. And there is not
the least doubt that these two dozen
patriots took as much delight in riding
Oh then passes as does child Oh a
hobby horse. 1t is also worthy of note
that every one of these illustriOus re-
formers and economists drew all the
mileage from the treasury that the
Ia IS allows. Referring to this admit
ted fact the Champ n, the POpulist
organ of Whatcom county, which had
two Populist representatives in the
house, says 1.-THE acceptance and re-
tention of these passes was inpolitic,
indiscreet and dead wrong. inasmuch
as it is positively and clearly incom-
patible with the demands of reform
or anti-corporation party. The accept
ance of any favor from all open enemy,
except as a preliminary to comprom-
Use, is inconsistent with human ma
ture" And i'm the same article this
consistent Champion Of this inconsis-
tent party says that it "would vote
willingly and cheerfully to send any
one or all of the twenty four back to
the next session of the legislature and
take chances on their votes when the
clash comes between the people and
the railway corporations. -
