Our Congressman Does Good Work.

Last week the TELEGRAM an
nouneed the fact that the West
Fork river improvement bill had
passed both houses of Congress.
Commenting on this subject the
Grafton Sentinel of April %, says.
Captain Dovener has got the
pet measure of the harrisburg
people through the house of rep
resentatives, and as a result the
West Fork is to be surveyed to
determine the advisability Of
building a system of locks and
dams to Clarksburg and the peo-
pie up there can almost imagine
that they hear Steamboats, float
ing placidly along on that stream.
The resolution carries with it
authority to prepare estimates
of the cost of series of locks
and dams, and the proper loca.
ton of the dams. for the improve
ment Of the river.
The resolution was amended
by Captain Dovener's motion,
prior to its adoption, by striking
out the word preliminary" be-
fore survey" thus giving the
work a more important
aspect. 1t required unanimous
consent to get the resolution
through, and Captain Dovener
was catechized on the floor by
the Democratic leaders as to the
importance Of the proposed i'm
provement. The charater of his
replies gained his point"

gahela river reaching into the
State of West Virginia, and right
here let me stop to say that the
people of the Monongahela river
owe very much to my colleague,
Mr.. Dovener. from West Virgin
ia, for the magnificent aid he rem
dered as a member of the River
and Harbor Committee, and l
well remember the argument he
made as a member of the that
committee and it was unansWer-
able. The government had be-
gun with damming No. s dam
the dams from No. l to 2 were
owned by a private corporation
the government had built No.

across the Monongahela river,
which facilitated and encouraged
the transportation of freight way
out into this State. He sald,
Every dollar of freight, every
pound of coal which you trans
port over the Monongahela river
by reason of these additional
dams must pay its tribute to the
private corporations at the foot
of the river, and the government
should either assume the dams
owned by private corporations
or cease to multiply their reve-
nue. by introducing and building
other dams.

SENATOR ELK1Ns proved a
loyal supporter of the President
in his efforts to avoid war with
Spain. In this West virginians
generally agree. Our noble
mountaineers will be found brave
defenders of the stars and stripes
no matter where they may be
called, but the sentiment of our
people is against war if it can be
avoided.

INVESTIGATIONS by the postoffice de-
partment long ago established the fact
that there are few barometers of bust
ness conditions more accurate than the
sale of stamped paper. Hence the story
told by the figures for the fiscal year
ending June 80 is cheering one. The
total sales for the year amounted to
$50, 2S9, 253, an increase of $3,658, 900
over the previous year. Furthermore,
the sales for the two quarters Of 1898
are noteworthy in that the postal issues
in the first quarter broke all records,
while in the June quarter they sur
passed all corresponding quarters. The
increase Of the last fiscal year is the
more significant that the increase OF
the previous fiscal year over 1865
was only 100000. War affected the is
sues in only slight degree.

THE ISLANDER trusts that none OF
the precincts of this county will make
the mistake this year of undertaking to
be dictatorial in the matter of nominar
tons for official positions. We do not
approve of the too common practice, by
no means confined to this county, OF
ante-convention selections of particular
candidates for particular places and the
packing of primaries in their interast,
oftentimes with comparatively little
regard for their fitness or the rights OF
Others at least equally entitled to con-
sideration. The people are entitled to
the most efficient service that they can
obtain, and it is not only not essential
to good service but is apt to be incom-
batible with it that certain precincts
should be permitted to insist upon the
nomination of particular men for par
ticular places. The primary duty OF
all good citizens, in the field of politics,
is to elect as delegates to conventions
men in whose integrity and good judg-
ment they have implicit confidence,
without seeking to commit them une-
quivocallv, as is too often done, to the
fortunes of some special local favorite
To convention so constituted the task
of making suitable selection of candi.
dates, having due regard for a fail
distribution among the several natural
subdivisions of the county, can be
safely intrusted.

, THE establishment of fruit cannery
at Fairhaven, which now seems to be
assured, under the management of re-
sponsible and reliable men, ought to be
of very great benefit to the fruit raisers
OF this county. 1t is an industry the
need of which has been strongly felt for
quite number Of years by many indi-
vidual orchardists, but it is doubtful if
fruit production in Whatcom and San
Juan counties has been sufficient until
within two or three years perhaps to
warrant the establishment of cannery
OF more than quite moderate capacity.
We understand that the Fairhaven en-
terprise is backed by ample capital and
experience and that it has the full en-
dorsement, if not financial support. of

enterprise as should be mutually bene-

THURSDAY, JULY %, 1898.

THE Post-Intelligencer thinks thai
the farmers of Washington who have
given up dairying for wheat raising
have made a mistake. although it Is
conceded, of course, that the high prices
of wheat for the past year or two have
been a great temptation to engage ex'
tensively i'm its production. Here in
Western Washington, however, china
tic conditions are-not adapted to the
production of wheat suitable for the
manufacture of -four, while they are
particularly adapted to the raising OF
clover and grasses most essential to the
support of dairy herds. THE ISLANDER
has frequently called attention to the
excellent advantages for dairying
which this county affords and to the
substantial benefits which would I'M
questionably accrue to scores OF farmers
from the establishment and successful
operation of a creamery at some central
point, with auxiliary separator stations
conveniently located for the accommo-
dation of patrons somewhat remote
from the creamery itself. If a creamery
were established here and a separator
station on Lopez and one on Orcas, the
best dairy districts in the county would
be provided for and many dollars in
ready cash would soon be distributed
among the potrons of the institution.
The Whatcom creamery, which has
been in operation only about year
and half, distributes hundreds of dol
lars monthly among the farmers of
Whatcom county, and yet it does not
receive from the entire county more
milk than could easily be supplied from
the San Juan valley alone to a cream
cry located here. Dairying has become
one of the great industries of Iowa,
Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin
where creameries may now be mum
bered by the hundred, and through it
the mortgages have been lifted from
Thousands, of homes where wheat and
corn and hogs had failed. In tbs state
the dairy industry has made great pro
gress within the past five years, but
there is still room for wonderful expan-
sion in that direction and in few loca-
tons are the conditions of success more
favorable than they are right here in
this county,
