Washington Creameries.

This state has over 80 creameries,
and the output for this year has been
about / 100000 lbs. of butter, valued
at $312, 800. Seattle has two estab-
lishments which turned over $4,000
los, valued at $4,000. The Winsor
Butter Co. on Front street turns out
C!overleaf butter at an average of $50
lbs day, and receives from so 10 100
gals of cream from Ellensburg. The
Duwamish Dairy Co. operates during
the summer in the butter depart nent.
The number of creameries seems to
be sufficient for the state, and future
efforts for time should be directed to
increasing the number of skimming
stations to supply the creameries, and
to induce farmers to raise better breeds
of COWS so as to have profitable milk,
producers, that class being altogether
too small at the present time. The
Creamery Association organized in
Seattle last week will endeavor 10
show farmers the importance of winter
dairying, will ask the state press to
cease advocating the establisnme Mt
of more creameries and urge the better
patronage of those now in operation.

1t is all right to sympathize with

imperatively demand solution, and
great financial questions which sooner

RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
A Horse Takes Fright at Coal Bags
The Occupants Bruised.

Yesterday afternoon, while E.
Staekable had some friends out
driving along the water front, the
horse took fright at some bags OF
coal near Wilder's wharf and swung
around so that the wheel nearly
tipped the buggy over. Mr.. Stack
able got firm hold on the lines
and tried to bring the horse around
straight. The horse, which was
thoroughly frightened, reared ON
his hind legs and made a leap
which pulled Stackable over the
dashboard, landing him on the
cobbles. The horse then started to
run, dragging Mr.. Stackable about
thirty feet. Two Of the passengers
had left the carriage unceremoni-
ously, leaving one lady on the front
seat. When Stackable let go the
lines to save himself she reached
over the dashboard, picked up the
lines and pulled the horse toward
fence at the foot of Fort street.
where the carriage collided with a
post and throwing the lady occu-
pant out The carriage turned up
side down and the lady was taken
out from underneath. She was
picked up and found to have no
further injury than a skinned nose.
The others in the party received
bumps and scratches that will act
as reminders for few days.

He Sneaks His Mind

Editor Herald: Does the Democ-
racy have to pack eternally a load
of political assassins? say no.
Let us have fair election by
free citizens, and abide by it, Let us
throw overheard, once for all, the bribe-
givers, thugs and traitors who enter our
confidence and our conventions only to
betray us. Every leader we have had
has been politically waylaid or actually
assassinated by their treacherous gang.
Del Vale, Patton and one leader after
another has been cut down by them.
They get into conventions by fraud
bullying and perjury. They stuff ballot
boxes, cart men from one precinct TO
another and commit every possible
wrong and outrage against q free ex-
preston of the popular will. | say, good
for the men who beat so many OF their
frauds and tricks at the last primary
election in the city. A few scrubs We're
returned from shanties and back-alley
saloons to the approaching convention.
These men will hesitate at nothing to
get into the state convention to make
money by betraying the Democracy

again and again. as they always do.
Why should we stand their infamy Los
Angeles county is as 1t has been mtsrep-
resented by these political thugs. We
are all judged by them and cursed by
them. Nominally they represent dis
tricts of Los Angeles county. In reality
they represent bawdy houses. dives and
railroad bribe-givers. They don't and
never did represent the Democracy of
this county. To obtain their elections
they commit frauds right in the conven-
tion itself. This is done in the noisy
confusion Of district or supervisorial
conventions, all shouting and voting
and programming in corners Of the same
hail. We never know what we are do
ing In this utter confusion, and the men
who disgrace the county and who dis
grace humanity crawl in under the
cover Of the noise and turmoil.
Now. what 1 say is, stop it. say. let
us have fair deal. We don't want these
pimps and pariahs. We wanx ou4 rep
resentative men to represent us. The
way to do this Is to elect all the dele
tes-at-large by the whole convention
with the proper officers to watch the
count. If a man Is not decent enough
and not faithful enough to be accepted
by the whole convention. what I say Is.
he had better stay in his dive or down
in the depot where he belongs.
