the right 10 make a choice or express an
opinion. and left 1t unrepresented by

The mildest word that can be used is
20 say that this is mistake OF no or
binary proportions. IT Is not good Re
pubiicanism. good politics or good sense.
1t Is not the way 70 promote party har-
mony or party success. And we are
convinced that the Republican voters
OF the state will enter their protest
against action so arbitrary and unjust,
carried through regardless of cost to
the party. in order to promote personal
and selfish interests.

The Diversion of Trade.

The trade which the Pacific coast ex-
poets as consequence OF trade develop
ment with the Orient does not all of it
have to be created. 1t Is true that our

tiplying the aggregate of our commerce,
and that it's increase In the near future
IL beyond all prediction. But In addi-
ton TO this there is the trade which has
heretofore taken another route, and is
now about to be diverted to the trans
pacific line and to enter the United
States at Seattle instead OF at New York
city.
One item Of this is the Manila and
other fiber of which the Philippine ISL
snds are producers. This commodity is
used extensively for the manufacture OF
binding and other twines. The market
for IT is principally among the farmers
who cultivate the great wheat fields of
the middle and western states. 1t has
been brought TO this country by the
roundabout way of the Sues canal
thence through the Mediterranean and
across the Atlantic. 1t is now to be car
ried directly across the Pacific, and from
Seattle distributed to the manufactures
One has but 10 glance at a map of the
globe to see the enormous advantage Of
this line of transportation as compared
with that which has been followed IN
the past. And what does 1t portend?
The imports Of Manila fiber In the year
1899 were 53.i95 tons, valued at over
Sc 0oo.0 900. With the paciiication OF the
islands, this will show an immense IN.

Thousands of miles of fertile soil, on

grown, exist in the Kenai peninsula

Europe. particularly the Firms. who are

harsh measures OF the Russian govern
ment, there certainly could be no more
inviting field than is presented by
Alaska, for the conditions are precisely
those with which they are thoroughly
familiar, and TO which they will have
TO trouble to adapt themselves. The
prospective growth of the mining indus

industry guarantee a certain home mar

the minor disadvantage presented by
the comparative shortness of the sum.

associate and build and operate a
creamery on the cooperative plan the
results have almost invariably been ad-
vantageous to those joining in the en-
terprise. The farmers contract to fur
nish a certain quantity of milk each
day, and the profits are divided accord
ing to the amount supplied. If milk
falls below grade. dividends are reduced;
and anyone found guilty of skimming or
adulterating is fined or expelled.
With the exercise Of ordinary business
judgment and the existence of harmony
between the cooperative partners. it
would seem that this system Of dairying
could be made as much success IN
other states as ii has been in the Middle
West. 1t is something which the farm
ers of Washington can well afford to
study: for this is a natural dairying
country, and with markets constantly
enlarging. the industry can be made an
extensive and profitable one. Co-opera-
tive creameries have already been start
ed in some parts of the state. and as
rule the returns have been encoura ging.
In the more sparsely settled districts It
may be impossible to operate them at
a profit, but in the well populated val
leys, where distances are not too great.
they ought to be made to pay. The de-
mand for dairy products will always be
on the increase, and creameries ought to
become among the most substantial con-
Germs OF our farming country.

Every man on this Coast knows that
great injustice has been done in the past
by including agricultural land within
the limits of forest reserves. The policy
behind these reservations is a good one:
but 1t was executed years ago with a
calm indifference to natural conditions
and to the rights of settlers that calls
for rectlfication.
