sudden risa 10 the beef trust. and for
time there was talk OF organizing the
retailers In a combination TO triy direct

cation. however. disclosed the fact that
the risa In price was oceasioned by
changed conditions wholly out q reach
Of any combination, and that moro than
one factor combined 10 effect these
changes. one Of the most important of
these factors ia the enormous decrease

settlers occupying and fencing In
the best portions: By the overlooking OF
ranges resulting In the killing out Of
the grass; the incursion upon the ranges
Of sheep which drive out the cattle, and
the low prices which prevailed during
the period OF depression
1t is not at all likely that prices VIII
be any lower than at present until con-
ditions change. The Br.tish-Transvaal
war Is drawing heavily upon our pack
ers. prosperity IL increasing rather than
diminishing. and. while the American
workman is paying more for his beef
he hae the money 20 pay for It.
The lesson to the farmers Of Wash
ington Is. raise more live stock. Cat
tie, hogs and sheep viii be in demand
at good prices for a long time to come.
The markets which have depended upon
range cattle must now look to the
farmers Of the West for their supply.
The farmer who has q number OF fat
steers to market every fall will always
have money on hand TO pay his taxes
and meet other expenses. no matter

THE cITY's OWN.

Let critics cavil. and envious little
journals advertise their sour grapes.
Seattle now has chance 20 Judge for
itself as to the merits, artistic and
otherwise. OF that justly celebrated
totem pole. The Post-Inteliigencer does
not doubt that the verdict will be en-
tirsly favorable. and that the munich
pality will feel that II Is the gamer by
the enterprise and public spirit OF the
gentlemen who secured this most ex-
traordinary souvenir Of Indian skill, pa
thence and racial pride
The purposes Of the Art and Decora-
tive Association. under whose auspices
the pole was procured. restored and
erected, were MOST admirably vindicated
In the eloquent address OF Mr. Thomp-
son. ana Its value TO the public. artis-
tic and intrinsic. was convincingly set
forth. To those who are interested in
the general subject OF Indian art, edu-
cation and religion; TO those skeptical
about the entire honesty ana propriety
OF the enterprise: and to those who are
interested In real eioauence for It's own
sake. Mr. Thompsons address IL COM

STRAWBERRIES m OCTOBER.
Gardeners Near Walla Wallis Secure
Second Crop.
Walla waila Union,


Strawberries at this season Of the year
are almost curiosity. Yet in a few
spots around the city some can be found
and they readily sell for Is cents a box
and upward Those who raise these
berries find them few and far between,
and it takes considerable time to fill a
box. They are, of course. all second
growth fruit, and are only found where
the plant Is we'll covered with leaves.
This protects the berries ana brings them
to maturity. The sight of a crate of this
luscious fruit Saturday made the reporter
think OF balmy spring. and a plate OF
strawberries and cream, with two spoons
and pretty girl for company.
II It could be possible TO raise straw
berries In fair quantities till late in the
fall q goo6 price could be realized. and
large shipments made to distant points
with profit. OfIere is a chance for the
scientific fruit raiser to demonstrate hts
usefulness by originating an everbearing
variety Of strawberry that will bear un-
til cold weather stops its production.
