DOES FRUIT RAISING PAY?

The old saying that "Whatever is
worth doing at all is worth doing welP'
applies to no occupation with more
force than it does to farming and to no
branch of farming more than to fruit
raising. To illustrate, THE ISLANDER
takes the liberty to report, what it un-
derstands to be fact, that George
Myers, of Orcas, sold his selected win
ter apples recently at S1.25 box, and
several hundred boxes from the Baxter
& Peters place brought $1.10 in Vic
toria. These are good prices for these
times and the secret of them, which is
no secret, is that the trees which bore
the fruit were thoroughly we'll culti-
waited and kept free from insect pests
and the fruit was carefully picked, care
fully graded and carefully packed.
Mr.. Myers even wrapping his apples in
tissue paper, as oranges, lemons etc,
are wrapped i'm California There are
doubtless numerous other instances of
as good prices received i'm this county
this year, for there are numerous hor-
ticulturists i'm the county who do their
work well, but reference to these two
will suffice for the purpose of this arti-
Gle. Good Baldwin apples raised i'm
Whatcom county are selling at retail
in the bay cities now for SIPS box
and some Oregon apples as high as
$3.50. There is no reason why San
Juan county should not produce now
tens of thousands of bushels of apples
for which the owners should receive
tens of thousands of dollars, and in the
course of few years the production
ought to reach hundreds of thousands
of bushels. And yet there are many
farmers i'm the county how who not
merely affirm but literally swear that
fruit raising doesn't pay, because, per-
chance, they are unable to realize more
than twenty-five or thirty cents box
for little, scrawney, i'll assorted apples
poorly packed i'm poor boxes. And the
experience of such producers with APP
pies is generally their experience with
other fruit also. IT is true that there

The Official Paper Of San Juan County,
THURSDAY, JANUARY 10th, 1896
REASON DAWNING IN ENGLAND.

The London Times continues It's
bullying policy on the Venezuelan
question bnt it is noticeable that other
great English papers, notably the Lon
don Chronicle, are taking more ration
al view of the matter, justly calculated
to promote peace rather than incite to
war. Henry Norman, assistant editor
of the Chronicle and distinguished
writer on political and economic SUD-
iects. has been doing the cause OF peace
great service by his recent notable letters
and dispatches to the Chronicle from
Washington City. Mr.. Norman, who'
by the way, is a Harvard graduate
having attended that university III
preference to Oxford, is frank enough
to say that English newspapers are
"too apt to treat Americans with super
ciliousness. We do not appreciate
what IRENE ldous country it is, and
we too often take Americans who come
to London as the type, instead OF study
ing the country from the inside" He
realizes clearly enough that 1t is alto
gether natural that this sort of con-
uousness should be resented by the peo-
pie of this country. In one of his dis
patches last week on the Venezuelan
question he says:
II know there is sincere regret and dis
NAV among all right-minded people here
that more conciliatOry disposition was
not accepted by Lord Salisbury in regard
to the general principle of arbitration. Ii
the British government should show
kindly disposition toward this principle l
believe it would be greatly welcomed by
the people of this country. So far as there
being any loss of prestige to the British
government in this course, it would make
me more hopeful that the great principle
of arbitration will find expression in
convention between the two countries
covering alla questions that might arise.
The opportunity is golden one to secure
American good will. Can England afford
to lose it? If Lord Salisbury takes no
step and sees no way, then let him reflect
that his attitude is identical with that
fatal one which lost Great Britain her
colonies more than century ago. The
American people are listening for some
word from him. The cost of it would be
slight, and the gain colossal"
Mr.. Mormon bluntly says that eff we
were to fugitive should be no better than
a lot of bowling hottentots." Another
distinguished Englisnman, Sir Edward
Clark, in a recent public address at Ply
mouth said: awe must not be too inn
patient or angry with the Monroe doc
trine. If we refuse to arbitrate except
outside the Schomburgk line, we should
have war with the United States and a
war i'm which W should not be right.
Each side must yield to some extent"
In an editorial the Chronicle justifies
American aspiration to dominate the
formation of international law on the
American continent as England in her
time dominated Europe. 1t must be
recognized that America never acquired
an inch of civilized territory without
the consent of its owner.
