Canada. and speaking Of a garden that
ne saw in the Edmonton District. says:
On August 23rd we had the pleasure
OF visiting the model seven-acre gar
aen at Edmonton, owned and operated
0y one Donald Ross, a typical Scotch
man, and as whole-souled, good-na-
tured old gentlemen as you often
meet. He gave the Yankees each a
nearly handshake as we were intro
ouced IN succession by the Canadian
Government Agent, who was our guide
ana pilot while at Edmonton, and to
whom we are indebted for many cour-
tesies conferred. Mr.. Ross informed
US that he cleared from $500 to $1,000
annually from the sale of roots, vege.
tables, flowers and plants. We here
state that we never before saw such
growth Of vegetables at that season Of
the year. He said that he raised $50
bushels of onions to the acre. Beets
were growing as large as your arm,
turnips the size Of ones head, and
cabbages as large as patent pail. Fol-
lowing are prices that Mr.. Ross gave
US as receiving for his produce: Beets,
DO cents per bushel; carrots, 40 cents;
onions, SIPS; turnips, SIS per ton; cab
bage, 4 cents each; green corn, Is
cents per dozen; tomatoes. $3.50 per
bushel; potatoes, Is to 80 cents; cauli-
flower, 81 per dozen; cucumbers, IS
cents per dozen; strawberries, Is cents
per box; squash. 4 cents per lb., and
other produce in proportion. He kept
Q dollhouse 12x180 feet, heated by
furnace by means of fues. One man
beside himself attended this garden,

Germany and American Horses.

Foreign correspondents report that
the Minister Of Agriculture Of United
Germany at a recent session of the
Prussian Diet declared that American
horses developed influenza after i'm
portation, and II the importations in
creased, Germany would be forced to
adopt suitable quarantine measures to
protect itself. DR.. Salmon. the chief of
the United States Bureau Of Animal
Industry, said when his attention was
called to the dispatch: $50 far as the
Department CT Agriculture is aware
there is no influenza prevailing in this
country. It is disease common to
horres, and possibly may be present in
places Of which we have no informa-
ton, but this is improbable. because
news Of that character would promptly
reach the department. The horses
which are exported are not inspected.
but II an animal has the disease It will
recover or die before the transatlantic
journey is made. The period of du-
ration Of the disease is about two
weeks, and as it takes from two to
three weeks to ship the animals across
the ocean 1t is apparent that all danger
is passed by the time the other side is
reached" The growth in the shipment
Of American horses to Europe in the
last four years has been enormous.
These shipments in 1897 aggregated IN
value $4.769. 265. as against $718, 607 In
1893. "A

Port Townsend Southern.

The completion of the Port South
ern is again coming to the front and it
is believed in well informed circles
that the missing link necessary to con-
meet the road with Olympia will be
quickly supplied. The Port Town
send Southern railway is owned by the
corporation known as the Pacific
Coast Company and change of ofic-
ers has just been made in that institu-
tion, indicating an activity in the
handling of its property.
1t still remains secret as to which
transcontinental railway system con-
trolls the Pacific Coast Company since
the last change At first it was given
out that the Northern Pacific had Sc
cured control. Next James J. Hill
and the Great Northern were stated to
be the new owners. The latest infor-
nation it that the Union Pacific sys-
tenn is now in the lead, 1t is agreed
on all sides, however, that it is the in
tentlon of the new managers to push
to completion the Port Townsend
Southern Railway without delay.
When Messrs. Martell and Lehman
lay the rails next year from Port
Angeles to the head OF Discovery Bay
they will beyond doubt find one of the
three great transcontinental systems
pushing in this direction for an outlet
to get the best chances at the Orient
al trade.
President Hill has settled to his sat-
isfaction that the Oriental trade of his
company will require 5000 ton ship
every twenty-four hours and to handle
that traffic he wants his railroad TO be
equipped with unequalled facilities.
Promoters and capitalists are on the
alert once more as they used to be in
the good old times. Projects are being
launched on the Pacific coast with be-
wildering rapidity. 1t all goes to
show that Pont Angeles opportunity
has arrived.-Port Angels Courier.

What Did It..

John r. Rogers did it with his little
hatchet when he trimmed the political
tops off the members of the old board
of control and put such men as Snive-
ly, Ridpath and other political buns
in to control of the institutions of the
state. He did more than any other
man to defeat the party.
Rogers was ably seconded by his
working partner Turner, whose barrel
corrupted the last legislature and who
had the confidence of everybody but
the people.
Lewis did it with his lofty ambition
to make himself the whole campaign.
The democrats did it by hogging
everything in sight and by trying to
sit down on every man who had prin-
ciple enough to resist the swallowing
process the party that was willing to
adopt principle which they denied
was right just for the sake of more
Office.
The single takers did it by being
against everything that did not look
directly toward putting one more of
their number into Office.
And the people did it by staying at
home and not voting.
The campaign was conducted on old
political principles by old hot house
politicians. The convention declared
against assessments and every man in
the administration was held up by
Hazzard.-A disgusted state satellite
in Journal-Palladium.
Would it not look better to admit
that the voters of Washington were
heartily sick of the false pretenses of
two years ago, the disgrace of the So
called reform legislation, and the fail
ure of the state administration. This
made many Republican converts and

NORTHERN Pacific freight traffic in
Washington is now upon satisfactory
dividend-paying basis. The movement
Of wheat, oats, barley, live stock, fruit,
hops, coal and general merchandise
has broken all previous records this
fall and double the number of train
crews ardinarly employed, are in SER
vice. For wheat hauled from the in
terror to Tacoma last month alone,
the Northern Pacific received in freight
charges the comfortable sum of $780,
600, and since the season opened the
crop marketed has contributed about
three quarters of million dollars to
the earnings of the road. The rail-
roads are prospering at the present
time, and it is one of the best availa-
BILE evidences that the territory fur
nishing them support is likewise pros
porous. The conditions which sent
Northern Pacific earnings to $3.O0O,-
600 in October aud broke all previous
records was combination whereby
the people tributary to its lines had a
larger surplus of products than the
normal, and greater capacity for pur-
chasing commodities consumed. 1t
would he interesting to know what
proportion of Northern Pacific earn
ings was furnished by Washington
agricultural products, coal, lumber and
shingles, and safe to predict that no
other state contributed as largely to
bring about the present satisfactory,
condition OF affairs with this great
railway system.-W. C. Trade.

An Off Year.

In 1860 Lincoln received the support
of eighteen states. giving him loo
electoral votes. In 1852 there was a
reaction, caused by the democrats
misrepresenting the administration
and by falsely and maliciously en-
larging upon the mistake es in the con-
duct of the war. Had Lincoln been
running for president in 1862. he
would have carried but half the states
that endorsed him in 1860. However,
change soon set in, and in 1864 Lin.
coin was reelected, receiving 212 cleo
toral votes.
In 1872 Grant received the support
OF 70 states, securing 2S6 electoral
votes. In 1874 the democrats carried
fourteen of the states that two years
before had gone republican, and had
Grant been running for president at
the time he would have received but
l31 electoral votes.
The same process of radical change
held true in 1878, 1882, 1890, and
1894. Especially was this true in 1894.
Cleveland had been elected president
in 1892, receiving 277 electoral votes.
Yet in 1894, the republicans carried
eleven o. the very states that but two
years before had gone overwhelmingly
democratic. If Cleveland had been a
candidate in 1894, he would have lost
every northern state that he had pre-
viously carried and would have failed
OF election. So radical was the change
that democratic majority in the
house of representatives of SO, was not
only wiped out, but the republicans
secured 10 majority.
In 1870 the democratic party at
tempted to produce reaction against
Gen. Grant, but in this they failed,
and here we find one of the happy in
stances SO seldom occurring in an off
year. 1t remained, however, for the
election of 1898 to reverse all previous
customary off year results.
In 1896 Mckinley received 271 cleo
toral votes from % states. On Tues
day. November s, 1898, the republicans
carried every state that they had pre-
viously done in 1896, with the single
exception of Kentucky. In some
states there was difference of vote
upon local Offices but upon matters
touching the administration all these
states went republican. In addition,
four states that in '96 supported
Bryan, also joined the ranks of repub-
lican states. The fact is, if Mckinley
had been candidate for president in
1898, he would have received more
electoral votes than he did in 1896.
This is grand record for an off
year. This year the democratic and
fusion and populist parties in the
United States made every effort to re-
buke the administration and President
Mckinley for his war policy. But
they failed, as they did in 1870. The
republican party this year reclaim
four states from popufism, hold all re-
publican states by normal majorities
and control the legislatures wherever
the election of a United States senator
is at stake, thereby assuring republi
can senate, with ~ majority of nine
votes, and also good working major
ity in the house. This is indeed an
off year, but one that is prominent
exception, and one that proclaims to
the world the confidence the people
feel in the administrations of William
nley.-Olympian.
