State Aid to the Fish Trust /.

1t will be good plan for the legisla-
ture to go slow on hatchery appropria-
tions until it is found whether Puget
Sound fisheries are to be corralled by a
trust.
There Is no reason for the state to
pay out money to establish and main
tam hatcheries with which to keep LID
the supply of fish in the Sound and
rivers, if the fisheries are to be control
led by combine which can limit the
product or prices for fish at its own
will and pleasure.
A fish trust is different from many
others, for it can control not only the
output of canned product, but the
number of fish taken; both the prices
OF the finished product and those paid
for fish.
The independent fisherman and
Gamers outside the combine will be al
the mercy of the trust. IT it is
formed it should be asked to maintain
the hatcheries or should be allowed te
look out for maintaining the supply Of
fish at its own expense.-Ledger.

The bill for the relief of delinquent
taxpayers. is being considered by the
legislature. Ia the main the features
are the same as the former, and opens
further opportunity fo- those who
were not able to avail themselves of
the former chance. 1t seems as
though tax rebates are an injustice to
those who do pay up promptly, but on
the other hand, if they will bring in
new funds and make delinquent prop
erty productive of taxes, relieving the
counties of carrying the burden; re-
bates will also benefit those who do
pay their taxes, by relieving them to
that extent. Most people tailed to
pay because they could not, and the
accumulated taxes of several years
might almost equal tie cash value of
their property. If reasonable reduc-
tons are made, more property will be
redeemed, and be bearing its share OF
the tax burden, and it seems to us,
would he wise move.

The populist Senate, true to its in
stincts OF obstruction, will delay and
defeat as many measures as possible
by its dilatory tactics. There is not
likely to be any railroad legislation in
relief of the shippers of Eastern Wash
ington. The railroad lobby is con-
centrating its efforts on that branch
of the legislature, and has several
strong allies among the fusion mem
bers of the Senate. The Senate adj
journed from Friday until Monday, in
face Of the fact that many bills had
passed the house, and were awaiting
action by the Senate. The capitol
bill is hung up in the same manner
and the record, especially in the rail
road deals should be made plain, sc
the blame can be placed on the proper
parties.

One of the strongest recommends
tions possessed by Washington as an
agricultural state~is the fact that she
has never suffered widespread and
serious drouth, while in the grain belt
particularly, the soil is of a peculiar
character that does not require heavy
rainfall after the close of the winter
season. The losses to California from
lack of sufficient rains in the past two
years are an object lesson in the adj
vantages of such condition, while q
striking illustration is the record 81
several years drouth in New South
Wales. An authority has reduced the
losses there to figures, and states that
sc, O00, 900 sheep. 900, 900 horses and
10000 cattle represent the injury
sustained from inadequate rainfall.
One hundred million dollars is about
the monetary consideration Of cost for
q deficient rainfall in the colony.

SCHNEIDER, lie latter being in Southern
California on visit. Mr.. SCHNEIDER
is at home at North Yakima. Each
has photograph, and, as the GOODNESS
of ink fails in the adequacy of ex-
preston of feeling, they talk into
monographs, which receive their
words and tones of voice on wax cyiin-
ders. These are then transmitted by
mail, and tie communications are
ground out by the simple turning of a
crank.

BROWN rot is still present in almost
every orchard, ready to develope rapid
ly under condi lions favorable to it,,
which are heat and moisture. A great
deal OF rotting fruit has been left on
and under the trees which will carry
over great supply of spores. The
fungus even lives over winter itself in
a dormant condition and may serious
ly injure blossoms and even twigs in
the spring. Preventive measures for
brown rot are in the nature of insur-
ance, and in this case the rates are not
high. Destroying all of the fruit left
in the orchard is one of the most i'm
portant preventive measure. Spraying
with Bordeaux mixture ten days or so
before the blossoms open is helpful.
When the fruit is just beginning to
ripen, spray with solution OF acetate
of copper-one ounce to eight gallens
of water. All orchards should be
sprayed in the fall after the leaves fall,
as preventive, with strong Bordeaux
mixture. Spray again with ordinary
Bordeaux mixture when the buds
swell, and again when the fruit SETS

Rep. Maxwell's bill, providing for
the fixing of the salaries of treasurers
of cities of the third class by the city
councils, had passed the house. If
this bill becomes law it will do away
with the theory that no treasurer
should receive less than $500 year.
The councils will be allowed to fix the
remuneration at any figure below
$1,000. The salaries of town treasurers
are considerably under reasonable
figure to cover the work required as
well as the responsibility for the care
OF funds. The average pay for Shelton
treasurers in the past has been about
$6O per year, and should be at least
double that amount.

Geology of Washington.

an interesting lecture on "The Geology
Of the State of Washington" at ST.

assures and beds of ancient lakes.
The lecturer explained that Puget
Sound is thought to be assure, as
the same kinds of clay banks are
found on opposite shores OF the sound
and the course of river bed may be
traced from Mount Tacoma on the
mainland to the sound, then the main
land again, extending northward until
it reaches the ocean. The contour oil
the shores of the sound, he said, also
tends to prove the theory as for bay
on one side of the sound there is also q
projection on the other.
The formation of the Cascades is moi
that of the Appalachian and some
other ranges, the lecturer showed, but
was caused by an overflow of lava in
some places 100000 or 5000 feet ir
depth. Eastern Washington was 6

IT is reported that the battleship
Iowa, which is now in San Francisco,
will probably visit Puget Sound soon
and 60 into the Port Orchard dry
dock. The Iowa took very promin-

was warmly welcomed in Frisco, as
it will be on the Sound, all who can
will gladly avail themselves of the OPP
portunity of inspecting the famous
battleship. While the vessel is open
