Brazil, southern Mexico, the West In
dies, Central Africa, India, the Straits
Settlements and the Dutch East Indies
supply this increasingly important fea-
ture of our importations. 1888.
The increase in the import of rubber
comes from the constantly new uses to
which it is being put to, In all electri-
cal work 1t is indispensable, then there
is it's ever increasing use in carriage
work and for bicycles, it is used soft
and it is used hard, it is used tough and
it is Used brittle, it is used in land,
and it is used upon the Ocean bed, 1t
is used for the most scientific instru-
ments and the commonest toys of the
child No county is more inventive than
the United States, and no country
therefore uses more rubber than she
does
With that carelessness which marks
the human race the rubber forests of
Brazil and some other countries have
been destroyed in a great measure, by
over tapping the trees, just as on these
Islands the rapacity of the chiefs des-
troyed our sandal wood industry,
which, had it been preserved might
have been a fruitful source of steady
revenue to the present day. Thus his
tory repeats itself in diverse quarters
of the globe.

CAUTION REQUIRED.

! Reckless importation of animals,
| plants, or birds is the cause of much
destruction and undesirable ANNOYANCE
to the inhabitants of a country We
have suffered considerably from this.
Plants which were not duly examined
and fumigated brought us the Japanese
beetle, which has denuded the islands of
roses, and whoserravages though check
ed in a measure by the efforts of the
public entomologist, are still continued
against other plant life notably the
"hau."
The mynah bird was introduced to
keep down the insects, but he has de-
voted his talents to the keeping down
our fruit supply. The mongoose was
brought to keep down the rats, but he
soon came to the idea that a continuous
diet of rat was palling upon the appe-
tite. He has practically destroyed all
the wild birds that nest upon the
ground. Quail have disappeared from
Hamakua and Kau, where they were
thick a decade or so ago. Every one
who keeps domestic fowls regards the
mongoose as natural enemy.
But we are not the only ones who
suffer. The Eastern States have their
sparrows and their gypsy moth, the
western fruit growers have an endless
train of blights which have cost hun
dreds of thousand of dollars to fight,
and the Australians have their rabbits
whose depredations run into the million
! of pounds sterling. The Madeira vines
were destroyed by one introduced pest.
and great wine industry came prac-
| tically to an end
/ With all this before us we should be
careful as to imports. We examine cat
tie, horses, plants, but we pay no atten-
ton to dogs, and yet quite number of
dogs are imported annually. Up to the
present we have been absolutely free
from hydophobia or rabies, but that is
more by good luck than good manage
ment. In England the subject of the
importation of dogs is under the most
stringent rules. The disease of hydro
phobia has become practically extinct
on the islands and the regulations are
to prevent its reintroduction.
The rules adopted are most elaborate
IN detail but the gist of them is that
dogs that have not been under personal
care of the importer for three months
prior to the importation must be put in
an insulated station for a period of six
months. If they have been under the
personal care for three months, then
they may be isolated on the owners
premises, provided there are no other
dogs for period of three months.
Having had considerable experience
now in the Introduction of diseases and
pests from Cholera and Plague to rose
bugs and mongoose, we had better take
precautions against the introduction of
hydrophobia, remembering that there
would be no chance of reaching the
Pasteur institute if ever it got among
our animals.

RUBBER.

Professor Koebele is trying to obtain
rubber trees for the Islands. There can
be no doubt that in certain localities the
cultivation of rubber trees will be very
profitable. The rubber industry has
been increasing enormously of late and
the bureau of agriculture is anxious to
encourage the cultivation of the tree in
Cuba, Porto Rico, our own Islands and
the Philippines We may therefore look
for substantial assistance in Professor
Koebele's experiment.
More than 500, 1000, 900 worth of India
rubber has been Imported into the Unit
ed States during the past four years,
and more than 100000 woth in the
last two years. A decade ago the an
nual importations of India rubber
amounted to about $15, 200, 900, now they
exceed sSO,OOO,OOO, and, are steadily in
creasing. Practically all of the impor-
tations Of rubber. come in crude form
for use OF manufacturers. Northern

According to the New York Times the
Republican theory about reported

to devote themselves to premature
campaign worries or diversions. The

are making the most of an extra 1rdi-

Another New Industry

OLYMPIA, Jan. 29.-An industry of
more than usual Importance has been
inaugurated in this country, as it
marks the opening up of an entirely
new field of manufacture in the North
west. The Rainier Chemical Works
Company has been organized in this
city, with A. G. Stevens, formerly Of
Seattle, as president; A. S. Hall of
this city, as vice president, and Simon
Mills, of Aberdeen, superintendent.
The new company will, within few
days, begin the manufacture of char
coal, Stockholm tar, oil of :urpentine
and other similar products.
The company owns a very large
tract of land in the vicinity of Rainier,
Il miles southwest of Olympia, and it
will make use OF the scrubby, resinous
fir timber of that locality. The plant
is now in course of construction, the
most modern machinery having been
purchased. Superintendent Mills is a
practical man, of years experience and
he has in his force of men other ex-
perienced men.-P. /.

Boom In Oyster Lanus

r IF any donht exists that there is al
boom on in the oyster industry al
visit to the office of the state land
commission will dispel it. Hardly
day passes that there are not applica-
tions made for the purchase OF oyster
lands and there is almost always some
one in the commission rooms con-
ming the maps of the Sound region.
The boom has prevailed to a great ex-
tent within the last year, so that now
there is little oyster land of value left
on the sound. What is better, accord
ing to practical oystermen, is the fact
that purchases are being made out
right, few contracts to purchase being
made. The fact that the lands are be-
ing purchased outright is beneficial,
for the reason that the element of
speculation is ommitted, it being the
desire of about all the purchasers to
cultivate tlc JANUS W GuC luliCoV "a
tent and in a specific manner.
In Thurston, Mason and Pierce
counties the greatest number of sales
are being made. During the past
year the state has disposed of no less
than 5000 acres of oyster lands in
these counties. OF this number 1000
acres were purchased in Mason county,
800 in Thurston and 400 in Pierce.
The revenue the state derives from
the sale is but $1.25 per acre, and
when the immense profit derived from
the present price of the bivalve is
considered it is no wonder a boom
prevails. While the market price of
oysters is now good it is predicted by
the producers that within month or
two it will be at least dollar higher.
When all other lands in the three
counties mentioned are under cult
vation it will mean net revenue,
under prevailing prices, of $160,O0
per annum. A prominent oysterman
said yesterday that, taking the good
with the poorer land, the beds of the
three counties should realize $50 per
acre.
One feature of the industry, accord
ing to this gentleman, is the tact that
the producers are of late beginning to
see the benefit of cultivation OF the
| oyster in scientific manner. In the
past it has been the custom in some
localities for the growers to gather
oysters without regard to their age,
some of them selling oysters but on
year old. No oyster should be taken
from the beds less than three years old
and it is a hopeful sign that many
growers are now allowing the oysters
TO lie in the beds until they are not
less than three years old, and thus
perpetuating the industry.-Olym-

To A Venerable Age

About three and one half miles south

little house Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. r.

1ol pounds. His hair and beard are
silvery white. Mr.. Killers voice is
soft and melodious, his cyesight and

preston "f his eyes seems to be little
chilly, a sign of old age. Sickness has
been an unknown thing to him but at
the present time bad cold has settled
on his lungs. Mr.. Hitler lost his wife
last April. She also never had been
sick during her life and she died of old
age. >l"rii. after she had reached her

Mrs. A. F. Dipman of Shelton is

Called to Go Preach.

The democrats have secured the as
sstance of several of the "for revenue
only" reformers who are now going
over the state and working to secure
the organization of the populists under
the banner of the democracy. The
leaders of what once was the demo-
cratic party now realize that their
party is nearly as dead as they claim
the populists to be, and that heroic
doses of Bourbon are necessary to re-
vive it, We admire their nerve. 1t
must take great fortitude to stay by
the old ship, and agility to follow its
tortuous course through the stress of
political whirlpools, and then to find
themselves bobbing up serenely on the
wrong side every time. The fate of
the party which stood for something
under the leadership of it's patron
saints, hangs in the balance. Can its
cOhOrts become Solldlhed again, is the
question. Many of them have become
weaned from their first love, since the
old girl began 10 fiirt with new and
strange gods. They would also like to
be on the popular, patriotic, the right
side for once. Some are hating be-
tween supporting their country, or
their party. Yes; there is need for
labor in the vineyard, and there are
laborers who have not been able to
turn an "honest penny" since the last
campaign. The republicans claim
that these are prosperous times, GER
tainly they should not complain when
all men are at work, each in his own
way, with brain, Drawn or jaw-bone.

Marriage is Declared Legal.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 27.-A decision was
handed down today by the supreme
court affirming judgment in the case
of Mary G. Wiley VS. Philander l..
Wiley in an appeal from an order
granting the plaintiff suit money and
attorneys fees in an action for divorce.
In this case Wiley contended he
was never legally married to the re-
spondent, the facts of the case being
that the couple were married under
the common marriage law of California
within a few weeks after Wiley had
been divorced from his first wife living
in Olympia, and before the six months
Limitation prescribed by the Washing
ton law had expired. The Willeys
afterwards returned to Olympia and
when Wiley sought to obtain a di-
vorce from his second wife his attor-
neys set up the claim that he was not
legally married under the laws of this
state.
The supreme court states that the
general rule is that the lex loci con-
tractus controls all adjudication in.
volving the validity of marriage. In
consequence the six months prohibi.
ton OF marriage after divorce was
granted does not extend to states hav.
ing no such law and Wllley's second
marriage was valid. Judgment was
therefore affirmed.
