ing the crop the trees are cultivated with
out extra expense. 1t is claimed by those
who have tried both plans that better
and easier living can be made off of a ten
acre orchard in San Juan county than on
an eighty-acre farm in the Mississippi
valley.
In telling about our fruit raising and
farming in the time given US to do so much
that could be said favorably has to be left
out; and, besides, fruit and poultry raising
and farming are not our sole resources.
The largest lime works west of Chicago is
situated in our county, and we have suf-
ficient limestone, 9S per cent pure lime, to
supply the United States, and the San
Juan lime is found in all the principal
American ports on the Pacific Coast and
the Hawaiian islands. The limestone used
at the paper mill and smelter at Everett.
and the glass works in Seattle comes from
our islands.
Our fisheries are inexhaustible. The out
put of one of our salmon cannnries for the
season Of 1885, according to the report of
the state fish commissioner, was 10000
cases, which, at a valuation of 81 per case,
represents $4,000 taken from the sea, be-
sides the many thousand dollars worth Of
fish taken by other parties. Two other
canneries are contemplating building for
this coming seasons pack. Salmon can
ner1es employ large number of people
during the season and pay out a great
amount OF money, and it all goes into the
hands of laboring people, and for that
reason they are valuable enterprises in
community.
In the matter of climate our farmers
have great advantage over the Eastern
farmers. We have no excessive heat in
the summer or cold in the winter, and the
coolest day of winter laboring men can
work with comfort. We have no foods
cyclones, thunder storms, and blizzard
is unknown, so that the farmer can work
the year round, and Saturday, when I left
home, January II, several farmers were
doing their spring blowing. The even,
equitable climate makes it very healthy,
and 1 am assured that there has never
been a clearly defined case of either dyph-
liberia or scarlet fever within the county,
and only two cases of typhoid fever, and
they came from drinking impure water.
We have not an able-bodied pauper with
in our limits, and a tramp has never been
seen on any of the islands. something that
cannot be truthfully said of many coun-
ties in the United States.
In closing, I desire to rooapitulate few
OF the advantages we have to offer to i'm
migrants to settle with us. We have
cheap land, a prolific soil adapted to eth
er fruit, grain or stock, no floods, cyclones
or thunder storms, no 80 or 100 in the shade
weather in the summer, and no billiards.
or cold weather in the winter, delightful
climate, no dyphtheria or scarlet fever,
and scarcely any fever of any kind: a
healthy locality, with pleasant surround
ings and beautiful scenery, amidst the
placid, tranquil waters of Puget Sound.
With all these attractions and there are
many others, we believe that the San Juan
Islands have much to offer to farmers to
settle with us.

We have in Whatcom county 100000 acres

The sovereign grand lodge of the indie

closing session today and tonight many
delegates departed for their respective
homes. Others took advantage of the
low rate excursions offered and decided
to visit leading Texas cities and

profuse in their compliments relative to
the hospitality Of the Odd Fellows of

The sovereign grand lodge was called
to order at $50 and remained in session
until 3:45 p. m. The sovereign grand
lodge enacted legislation that has long
been desired by the friends of the Re-

amendment to the constitution permit

A committee report recommending that
subordinate lodges be given the
right to withhold all sick dues for the

opposition. but was finally adopted.
An amendment was offered to change

SIOChS AND BONDS.
New York Sept. 29.-Today's stock
market, read between the lines, only
chronicled change in the speculation.
Operators who had figured prominently
in the original bull movement decided
at the close of last week that reaction
in prices was impending and sold out
their holdings. Efforts began yesterday
to bring about Il decline and create Il
new short interest, were continued to-
day in the early dealings. The manipu-
lators discovered however, that the
stocks were not easily dislOdged and
promptly reversed their positions. The
market was fairly active and the distri-
button of the transactions was better
than for some time past. The opening
was lower under the influence of reaii-
cations and offerings for the foreign ac-
count. The cause of the change of front
on the part of dealers was not generally
known here until the last hour of bust
ness, when it transpired that political
rumors had unsettled the bourse.
The bond market displayed aggressive
strength on investment and speculative
dealings. with the greater activity in

ment with which the traders are salts
fed. The receipts at Minneapolis and
Duluth were 1882 ears compared with
993 cars week ago and 1925 cars a

once. December, which closed yesterday
at % 3-4c, opened weak at from 66 Bic

touched 66 1-2M66 7-Sc. 1t recovered

was the reason for some resistance to
