Shortcomings of Farmers.

The importation OF 1900 carcasses
of sheep into this state has caused
much comment. However, it is but
another object lesson as to the needs OF
diversified farming in this state. but
not so instructive as many others that
are unnoticed from year to year.
There are many sheep raised in this
state, but the demand from the East
with high prices, has reduced our
fiocks, and thousands of Washington
sheep have been shipped out OF the
state. The same conditions do not OBJ.
tain in other directions. Hundreds oil
thousands o! dollars are annually sent
to Eastern states for dairy and hog
products, eggs and poultry, Tor con
sumption IN this state. This is the
lesson that should be learned by oul
people, especially our farmers.
Along the same line is the fact thai
thousands of dollars worth of.the
finest fruit that ever grew is annually
allowed to SO to waste IN Washington
for lack of canneries and evaporators
while thousands of dollars are paid fol
California canned and evaporated
fruits which are no better than the
home products.-Ledger.

More Fighting at Manila.

Hostilities have finally broken out
at Manila, between our troops and the
insurgents, and show that they have
been treated too much consideration.
The insurgents feel that they should
be allowed the spoils Of victory, and to
pillage Manila, and not being allowed
have been in threatening attitude for
some time.
Saturday night and Sunday gem
eral engagement took place between
thirty thousand insurgents under
Aguinaldo, and about twenty thou
sand of our troops under General Otis,
assisted by the warships in the harbOr.
The men of the first Washington regi-
ment were IN the thick of the fight
and nine were killed, none of whom
were from this vincinity. The Ameri-
can losses were 40 killed and 125
wounded, while the Insurgents lost
about 0,OUU IN Killed and wounded.
The fighting was fierce while it lasted,
and the Filipinos were driven from
their positions and scattered. There
continues to be occasional skirmishes,
and it is probable that the fighting
will continue until the insurgents are
whipped into submission.
II is becoming known that Germany
has been furnishing money and am
munition to the insurgents. The con-
flict was evidently brought on by
Dewey's recent capture of a schooner
loaded with munitions Of war. It is
probable that Germany will be held
responsible for the recent battle.

To Raise Fishing Licenses.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 5.-The house fish
cries committee is drafting new bill
for submission'to the legislature which
will raise the license fees paid by fish
ermen on the Sound. The principal
change will be for poundnetters. The
present fee is to be doubled. An adj
ditional fee is to be charged for every
man vino is engaged in fishing.
The last provision is copied from
the Oregon law. 1t will provide that
a license fee OF ST shall be paid by
every man who fishes or works oh a
net. This alone would result in a
marked increase in the annual reve-
nues derived from fish license fees. 1t
is improbable that any change sill be
made in Columbia river fees.
The bill which is being prepared by
the committee only meets Fish Com
missioner Titles views IN part. He
asked for a general increase in license
fees and graduated system which
would compel the fishermen who made
the largest catches to pay the heavier
fees.
The fact that the fisheries committee
was intending to submit a committee
bill increasing the license on pound
nets might be taken as an indication
of the action of the committee on the
bill introduced by Beals of Skagit
which prohibits pound nets, weirs or
other fishing appliances between the
north fork of the Skagit river and De-
ception pass.
There is surplus of fish legislation
which the committees of the house
and senate will have to sift. There
are no less than ten bills introduced
providing for the establishment of fish
hatcheries. The fish commissioner s
recommendation would make all these,
save three, cost $1,000, and the three
$4,000. Hatcheries are proposed for
the Wind, Wenatchee, Methow and
Little Spokane rivers, tributaries to
the Columbia, the Willapa river at
Willapa harbnr, and the following Pu-
get Sound streams: Nooksack, near
Whatcom; Snohomish, in Snohomish
county; White, in either Pierce OF
King county; Nisquallie, in either
Pierce or Thurston county, and the
Skokomish in Mason county. 1t is
proposed to build 81 900 hatcheries on
the Wenatchee. Nooksack and Skoko-
mish rivers.
The bill providing for the establish
ment of an experiment station to cul-
tivate Eastern oysters OH Willapa har-
Dor and Samish bay, has passed the
senate and has warm supporters in
the house. The bill appropriates ST.
500.
Gunderson has bill increasing all
fish licenses. The committee bill will
probably be introduced as substi.
tute.
There is house bill appropriating
$500 for travelling expenses of the fish
commissioner. The appropriation OF
1897 has been exhausted.-Ledger.

The Kidney Complexion

The pale, sallow, sunken-cheeked distressed
looking people you so often meet are afflicted
with "Kidney Complexion"
Their kidneys are turning to parsnip color
So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or suffer from
sleepessness, rheumatism, neuralgia, brain
trouble, nervous exhaustion and sometimes the
heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney disease does
not find Outwhat the trouble is until it is al
most too late, because the first symptoms are SO
like mild sickness that they do not think they
need medicine or doctor until they find them
selves sick in bed.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will build up and
strengthen their weak and diseased kidneys,
purify their diseased, kidney-poisoned blood,
clear their complexion and soon they will enjoy
better health.
You can get the regular sizes at the drug
store, at fifty cents and one dollar or you may
first prove for yourself the wonderful virtues OF
this great discovery, Swamp-Root, by sending
your address to DR. Kilmer & Co, Binghamton.

The Vanishing Logs

The lumber industry continues to
hold the first place in Washington,
and will do so for considerable time.
Our forests are sufficiently ample to
assure large cut OF logs for years. 1t
is we'll, however, that other industries
are steadily and rapidly growing up,
for forest destruction will inevitably
bring on day when lumber must
cease to be the great article of export.
1t is we'll, also, that reasonable rules of
forest preservation are being adopted
by the government, so that the day of
the obstruction of the industry may be
postponed.
The Wlnona Republican has an arti-
Gle which shows the rapidity of forest
depletion in other sections, under the
same reckless system which has pre-
vailed here. The lumber industry on
the Mississippi river below st. Paul
began to decline several wears ago.
Now one of the four sawmills at Win
ona is going out of business. The
owners, Messrs. Youmans Brothers &
Hodgins, have prospered. They began
in small way in 1857. Not long ago
they were employing 325 men in the
height OF the saving season. They re-
tire because of the decrease in the log
supply. In the last two years they
have only been able to get logs enough
Tor quarter to a third of a regular
seasons cut, and logs on the open mar
ket have been too high to permit of
their purchase and manufacture at a
profit. This mill at Winona and
branches at Ii other points in Mime
sofa and South Dakota will be shut
down.
This is the story that is being told
gradually all over the numbering Sec
tions of the nation.
Washington will derive much profit
from its lumoer industry for many
years, but the feverish haste to cut
away the forests and sell lumber and
shingles at low rates should be check

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
Diseased portion of the eur. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the information can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine eases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infalned condition of
the mucous surfaces.
