Tanner Wheat Cargo.

The largest cargo of wheat ever
loadel in single vessel on Puget
Sound is aboard the British steamer
Glenfarg, which cleared at the Tacoma
customs house yesterday for st. Vim
cent, Cape Verde Islands for orders.
She sailed last night. The cargo of
the Glenfarg comprises 1870 sacks of
wheat amounting to 170,430 bushels.
It is valued at the handsome sum OF
$4,000.
The Glenfarg was taken out last
night by Pilot Cater who expected to
go as far as Port Angeles with the
ship, and to arrive there about day
light so the skipper, Captain Selby,
can proceed to sea in open day.
The Glenfarg is the first steamer
and sixteenth vessel to take grain
from Tacoma for forei,n destination
this season. She will not long be the
only steam craft of the fleet of 1898
as there are already four more large
tramp steamers under charter for
grain loading at this port. One of
them, the Algoa, will carry the largest
cargo OF wheat ever borne upon the
bosom OF the sea by a single bottom.
She is modern freighting leviathan
fresh from the Chinese waters.-Ledg-

SUPPOSE the wheat grower received
as high a price as he does, anyone be-
lieve that the mill and factories would
be open and running on full time if
the Wilson bill was in effect at this
time? The famine, perhaps. is respon-
sible for the high price of wheat, and
republicans have always claimed sup
ply and demand regulated the price,
but the famine, nor any other foreign
influence, has had anything to do with
starting the mills and factories. Our
home market is the best on earth and
our people buy more necessaries and
luxuries per capita than any other ma
ton in the world, and the giving of
our markets to our home people has
brought about the happy result

New Fish Curing Industry.

MI. VIM. E. Kindred of Arcadia was
in the city this morning, says the
Olympian purchasing supplies for his
fish curing establishment at the mouth
of Big Skookum bay. Three years
ago Mr.. Kindred started in a small
way to experiment with the drying of
salmon, and since that time he has de-
voted his best attention to perfectIng
the experiment then launched. The
result is that while the industry has
grown to considerable proportions, it
still is in progress of development.
The fish curing establishment now
gives employment to ten men, and the
meat of the salmon is cured at the rate
Of 1,500 pounds day. Since the pres.
ent season opened about 5000 pounds
of fish haye been prepared for the
market Experiments with the proc
ess Of curing has brought the fish this
year to a higher state of perfection
than has hitherto been attained, and
1t would seem from the samples tested
that higher degree of excellence
could neither be had nor desired. It
is as firm and delicious as any food
one could select.
Mr.. Kindred says that the market
fer the product of the salmon curing
works seems unlimited. He has found
sale for much of it at twenty-five cents
a pound, in certain of the eastern
cities, when times were much farie r
than now. He anticipates no difficulty
in disposing of this seasons product
at renumerative figures.
The one thing to which Mr.. Kindred
seems to direct more painstaking at
tention than anything else is scrup-
ulous cleanliness. He is constantly
evolving plans for the rigid and ex-
peditious enforcement of this order of
cleanliness, and the product of his
establishment readily shows the result
of it.
The industry is one of almost bound
less possibilities, and it's promotion IS
in excellent hands. We shall be glad
to chronicle it's further development
and the deserved success of its pro-
n1oter.

PostIntelligencer: 1t is encourag-
ing to note that arrangements are be-
ing made to ship to New York and
Chicago two car loads of apples and
pears from Island county. The apple
is neglected fruit throughout the en-
tire United States. Good, sound, we'll
favored apples are always at a premi-
um, and find ready sale everywhere.
The apple season, too, is longer than
for almost any other kind OF fruit. II
is strange that hOrticulturists who de-
vote so much time and expense to the
production of fancy fruits do not ap-
preciate better the money-making
qualities of the apple. Washington
produces as good, or better, apples as
any other state in the Union. 1t is
wasting an opportunity for wealth.

Tuesdays Elections.

Elections were held in various East
eln cities and states, and, as usual in
off years, the vote cast was considera-
bly, less than that of last fall.
Greater New York has gone back TO
Tammany, Van WycNbeing elected
mayor BY $4,000. His total vote was
about 10000 under the combined vote
of Tracy, Republican, and Low, Mug
sWump Republican.
I Henry George, candidate Of the par
ty endorsing the Bryan platform, poll
ed nut $1,000, but if the father had
lived he would undoubtedly have cut
u better figure.
The Republicans carry Ohio. re-
electing Gov. Bushnell and have a
majority on joint ballot.
In Maryland, the Republicans carry
Baltimore, but legislature thought to
be 60 to 81 in favor of Democrats.
Massachusetts, Iowa and South Da-
kota are Republican.
Colorado carried by silver republi-
cans; Kentucky is claimed by the Ill
verites also Virginia aud Nebraska.
Pennsylvania elects the republican
candidates by $4,000 plurality, OK
cept DR.. Swallow, the "fghting par
son." prohibition candidate who is un-
doubtedly elected treasurer, for some
reason not explained in the returns.
The returns indicate that in most
states the silver movement cut no fig
ure, but the old-line democracy is get
ting its cohorts in battle array again,
and showed gains over last fall, owing
to over-confidence and apathy of re-
publicans. In Iowa alone the vote
showed that $4,000 farmers stayed at
home and husked corn. The Pops are
seldom mentioned in the returns, hay
ing been absorbed by the democrats.
