Storing Potatoes.

Growers must often store temporari-
ly in the fall or early winter before they
can market their potato crop. The
simplest way is to put about so bushels
in a round heap and cover with straw
deep enough to exclude all light, and
carefully enough to shed all water.
Lay forkfuls around the base of the
pile first, then layer above, tapping
down over the first, and SO on up,
placing large forkful on the top and a
little earth to hold it.
On the Pacific slope in sections where
straw is scarce and slabs plenty make a
pile 'lengtbwise about q feet high.
Over the apex place a strong pole or
beam supported at each end by stake
driven into the ground at sufficient
height to allow this rafter to barely
clear the pile of potatoes. Then place
shakes on each side slanting towards
the ground, forming roof. The rain
can thus easily be kept out, and if de-
sired to keep the potatoes through
frosty weather earth can readily be ap-
piled sufficient to keep out FROST

terry why some kinds in all the differ

The Mystery of 1t

There is no doubt that certain varie-
ties of fruits require special kinds Of
soil. and that other sorts are not so
particular. The Captain Jack straw
berry was one of the best we ever grew
on the old home farm. and continued
to be so as long as we grew it there on
q clay loan, while it is no use what
ever here on the sandy loam of this
locality. Refine Claude plum IS an
other case in point. This variety sue
ceeds weA on clay loam, while here on
the sand it will not grow as much in
1--WE years as it should grow in two.
Lombard, Bradshaw, Improved Gage
and many other sorts make 9 me
growth by the side of them. Many
varities of fruits succeed well on GER
tain soils. while within mile~they
may not succeed. Every variety Of
fruit requires certain soil elements, but
soiIs that differ considerably in appear
ance may contain these elements IN
the proportions required. It Is mys-

The play entitled, 1.-THE Turn of the
Tide" presented by local talent on last
Friday evening, i'll Odd Fellows hall,
under the auspices of the Fraternai
Union of America, No. $50, was q de-
cided success, both financially and
otherwise. All the parts were well as
signed and the characters well sustain
ed, showing a great amount of study
and rehearsal. The part of "Peppern q
colored male servant, taken by Sheriff
Newton Jones, was acted unusually
| well, and he won the praise of the en-
tire audience. His negro dialect was
good, his acting fine, and his ease and
comfort on the stage showed him to be
a thorough master of the situation. The
parts taken by Mrs. Newton Jones,
Miss Pearl Simpson, Messrs. DIR. Farm
ham, Gene Gould and Geo. Thacker,
were also difficult but were particularly
well presented.
For the following friendly comment
the editor extends to Bre'er Ellis, of
the Whatcom Daily Reveille, "assur-
ances of his most distinguished cOnsid-
eratiOn:" "Another happy appoint
ment has been made, that of o. H.
q G nv Of
at Roche HarbOr. Mr.. Culver is a
newspaper man, owning the Friday
HarbOr ISLANDER with his brother,
has farm on Orcas and is identified
in many ways with all the interests
and industries of San Juan. He is a
man of good business ability and ex-
perience, is a rustler, knows the people
he will have to deal with and the needs
of the office and will make record
that will convince Collector Heustis he
has made no mistake. 1t might be
added that Mr.. Culver is a stalwart
Republican, which is another recon-
mendatiOn among the multitudinOus
crowd who have taken that degree"
Regarding the appointment of Mr..
0. HI Culver to be deputy collector of
customs at Roche Barbor, the Seattle
Times says: probably the happiest
appointment made by Collector Heustis
in his selection of deputies was that of
Mr.. o. Fl. Culver to be deputy collector
at Roche Harbor, San Juan county.
Some idea of Mr.. Culver's popularity
can be CLEANED from the Endorsements
which he has received and which in
clude those of every county official of
Whatcom county and representative
men and leading Republicans of both
this state and Idaho. Mr.. Culver is a
journalist of long experience having
been connected with the leading
papers of the state, such as The
Spokesman-Review and The Post-In-
telligencer, and was for two years dur
ing the boom period editor and bust
ness manager of The Fairhaven
Herald. The citizens of Bellingham
Bay, irrespective of party, congratulate
Mr.. Culver ON his good fortune. He

DRYING FRUIT ON ORCAs.
An Experimental DrIer Proves Great
Success.

An Experimental DrIer Proves q Great
Success.
The fine :newlfruit drier on the Peters
place, near East Sound, has completed its
work for the season, having given entire
satisfaction to its owners. 1t dried fifty
four tons of prunes from the Peters place
and twenty-nine tons from the big fruit
farm of the Orcas Island Fruit Co., the
dried product amounting to very nearly
thirty tons, most of it grading sos to Cos,
that is, fifty to sixty dried prunes to the
pound. A good many, however, dried 40
to so. The fruit is pronounced exception,
ally fine, and is pretty sure to command
a high price.
The trays will hold six tons of green
fruit at time, and will dry three tons in
from twenty -four to thirty-six hours;
The Orcas Island company intends to
erect and operate drier of the same size
on their place next season, and smaller
driers are likely to be built on number
of other places.
The Clark and Hambley driers, near
West Sound, were operated this fall for
the first time, and have been quite sue
cessful. A great quantity of fruit was
wasted this year, and it is hoped there
may be canneries to handle the surplus
next season.
