Washington Prunes.

Yesterday, says the Seattle Times, j.
w. Goodwin, wholesale fruit mer-
chant, shipped to New York a carload
OF Italian prunes grown on Vashon
Island. This is noteworthy as being,
probably, the first carload of prunes to
60 from Seattle to Eastern markets.
The car contained 997 crates. Mr..
Goodwin attended personally to the
packing of the fruit and the loading
OF IL In the Car, and is now endeavor-
ing to get another carload to send out
next Monday or Tuesday. He now
lacks 2OO boxes of having enough to
make the second carload.
"There are plenty of prunes raised
on Puget Sound" said Mr.. Goldman,
'for several carloads each year, bat
the difficulty is to get them together.
A great many are raised on Vashon
Island, and am informed that the
prune orchards around Olympia are
yielding pretty we'll. If there could
be a concerted action by fruit growers
great deal of money could be obtain
ed by sending prunes and other fruits
East"
"Prunes are quoted in our markets
at 70 cents box. They are quoted
IN New york, I am informed this
morning, at 80 cents box. The cost
OF transportation is 81 cents box.
so there is a good margin for profit,
and when the Washington prune is
once introduced in the East the de-
mand Tor 1t will constantly increase"

The Happy Farmers.

The farmers of Walla Walla county
have especially been blessed. MANY
were discouraged and had almost given
up in despair of ever being able to pay
their Indebtedness, but the timely
rains, sunny weather and favorable
winds came just at the right time to
successfully mature one of the greatest
crops we have ever had. The discour-
aged looks on the farmers faces have
been dispelled and their countenances
bespeak prosperous contentment.
Mortgages cave been paid off by those
who have sold their wheat, and the
men who are holding for better price
are reasonably sure of receiving
enough for their product to place them
in financial independence.
1t is safe to estimate that not one
farmer in this county has cleared up
less than $1,000 above all expenses and
many have cleaned up from $4,000 to
$4,000. A renter, it is learned, who
farmed few hundred acres, banked
between $4,000 and $4,000 as a result
OF his years labor. Especially do
farmers feel relieved o. harassing
debts, which have increased from year
to year, and the old saying again
comes true that "everything comes to
those who watt" and to be sure they
are glad they waited in this instance
until the big harvest came. Is it any
wonder then that when prosperity be-
gins at the foundation, the soil, that
the revival is general, and we expect a
continued betterment as long as wheat
crops continue good with us.-Walla
Walla Statesman.

For downright good luck both DO
litical parties seem to have a mighty
big slice. The republican promise d
national prosperity and along comes
the big prices for agricultural pro-
ducts the bounteous crops, the Klon-
dix discoveries and lot of other ac-
ccessories which have stimulated the
realization of that promise beyond all
anticipations. In this state the OBJ
posing party made dig at the law
governing mortgage loans, which it
was freely predicted would prevent re-
newals of obligations when they came
due and would drive the farmer off his
possessions, but this year if the farmer
can't renew his mortgage he just paws
1t off out of his crop, and it seems to
be good luck year all around-W. c.

yesterday resulted in the serious injury
OF John Morrison, one of the proprie
tors of the mill, Eric Hall and Jim
Mccormick, employees. A log which
was being handled at the bottom of
the chute was found to be so large as
to necessitate blasting before it could
be taken into the mill, and upon this
Job the three men who were injured
were employed. A charge of %
pounds OF powder was put into the
log and while tamping, in some man
ner it exploded. hurting pieces through
the air with great force. One frag-
ment struck Mr.. Morrison in the chest
and he waa also horribly burned, and
about the face, His injuries are
quite serious and it is feared he has
suffered internal injury. The other
two men were more fortunate, al
though they, two, were severely burn
ed. The injured men were attended

1T seems to be the general opinion
OF all returning miners from the Kloo-
dixie that there will not be sufficient
supplies carried in to support the peo-
pie through the winter. The man who
thinks that, because he is taking in a
sufficient amount of everything and
is therefore safe, has forgotten to
count on the necessities of his neigh
Dor. Many of those who are going in
by way of Skaguay and Dyea. are
abandoning almost their entire outf;t
IN order to make better time. These
people will surely prey upon their
thrifty neighbors, with a possibility Of
the gravest consequences. Those who

OUR esteemed Governor in a recent
interview scouts the idea that many
of the farmers of Eastern Washington
will be enabled to pay off their mort
cages in consequences of the immense
crop and splendid prices. He claims
to have been a farmer once upon a

was farmer of the class with which
we are familiar, and while he didn't
till the soil to any great extent his
"strong holt" was in working the op-
pressed people for his living. The

The unprecedented demand for red
cedar shingles this year is something
OF novelty to the manufacturers and
dealers in this commodity. For the
first time since 1892 the demand has
exceeded the capacity, and buyers are
still clamoring for shingles and mill
men are behind on orders, with pros
poets good of a still further increase in
September and October. This means,
unless a car famine ensues, which is
probable, all records will be smashed.
The subjoined figures of comparative
shipments from the state of Washing
ton the first half of a number of years
will give a fair idea of the growth of
the trade: 1892, 1926 shingle cars !;
1898, 1926; 1894, APO; 1897, 6,425;
1896, 1868; 1897, S,51S.
Thus it will be seen that even in the
years of panic red cedar single ship
ments increased steadily. although
prices dropped because Of over produc-
ton, and this years demand is simply
an indication of what the demand will
be all over the country when prosper
ity returns. As it is the extraordinary,
demand is coming from the western
states, and not from all sections of the
country. The excellent crops and
good price of wheat and other cereals
is responsible for it all. When similar
conditions prevail further east then
the demand will be as good there as it
is in the west. But it is doubtful if
the manufacturers can take care of
more than $4,000 carloads per year
The time has come when cedar timber
must be husbanded. Never plentiful
at its best, the heavy drain for the
past five years is beginning to show
itself and the mills of the future will
be located further and further back
from the Sound, and this will increase
the price of the article, already toe
cheap now, until conditions will close.

try. Then it is certain that other
shingles will be used, and it is quite
possible that 10 years from now fir
