NOT A BOOM.

There are some people who will tell
you that this city is enjoying a SPLEEN
did business boom" Ritzvlle is not
enjoying anything of the kind; there
is no boom here; there is not one in
sight, nor is any wanted. What there
is, however, is good, strong, sound,
healthy business condition, and which
is Il natural result of Il continuous de-
velopment OF the resources of Eastern
Washington, together with steady
increase in population. Each member
of this additional population that we
are acquiring is, in the vast majority
OF CO SEES, possessed OF means, which he
invests in some local productive enter
prise. That is why business is good
with us, but there is nothing Of the
wretched "boom or bust" character
about it.

and it is now neither a question of
land or water. The limitation rests in
the labor question, as it does with ev-
cry plantation on the Islands. With
our land and water we are ahead OF
our labor"
Manager Stoddart thinks that at best
the labor question is a serious one, but
he claims for the McBryde plantation
that it is one where conditions are
favorab BILE to the retention OF a fair
share of the available labor of the ISL
andS. The climatic conditions, he claims,
are inviting. The manager stated to
the party that one of the reasons for
the labor troubles on the plantation
arose from the fact that there were
two rival contractors, and a great deal
of friction developed between them,
and he came TO the conclusion that
it was best to cut the gordian knot at
once so he dismissed one of them, who
took away with him 400 laborers. This
happened about six weeks ago. and the
plantation work had suffered consider
ably as result. The bulk of these
men have already returned to the plan
tation, evidently concluding that the
McBryde was good enough TO stay
with The plantation has now it's full
complement of men.
Manager Stoddart is strongly in ia
vor of united action among plantation
managers, and believes that if they
stand together and be true TO their
agreements, that a great many difficult
ties can be avoided.
Before leaving the visitors We're In
formed by the directors present that
the board of directors had recently
adopted the policy of stopping the per-
manent Improvement account except
where they We're needed for Immediate
use, it being to their view that under
existing conditions all improvements
should be postponed until actually re-
quired for immediate use. One of the
directors said:
We understand that as a result of
this the impression has got out that the
McBryde plantation is in deep water
financially. AS a matter of fact it Is
not, but the board of directors pro-
poses that it shall not go beyond con-
sentative limits which might lead II
into such a predicament, and it also
proposes making a showing at the end
of the fiscal year that will demonstrate
the wisdom of going slow, curtaiIing
additional permanent Improvements
If we rest our Improvement work with
the completion of the new mill. ana
the completion of the tunnels for sur
face water, we have land here and all
other facilities for two large crops be-
fore raising our hands to do general
Improvement work. While it is very
well to have everything completed and
ship-shape, it is still better to have
our financial condition above question $"
