VIM. Miller, one Of the pioneers Of
this county. was buried at the Valley
cemetery Friday afternoon. He had
lived on Orcas island about forty years
and was the owner of one Of the finest
farms in hat Is known ~ the Crow
valley, near West Sound. He was
found In his orchard by one Of his
neighbors about 8 O'Clock Monday
evening, lying in front Of his wagon
and almost under the feet Of his horses,
which had dragged him several
yards aud bruised him quite badly.
He was spraying his orchard and driv-
ing his team and working the spray
pump alone, and 1t Is supposed that his
death was 0ccasioned by the rupture of
. blood vessel In his head. He was q
vigorous man who had been exception.
ally free from the numerous ills that
human flesh IL heir to. He was bach
elor aud lived alone and would have
been seventy-three years Of age had he
lived until June %. he died Wednes-
day evening. He was born IN Ger
many, but came to this country when
quite young man. He worked for q
time In the Lake Superior copper
mines, bat after various moves to the
westward he settled down in the little
Orcas valley where he lived bachelor
life for two score years. One Of his
friends who knew him we'll says of
him: HE was q hard worker and q
good neighbor, q free giver for charitable
purposes and one whose baud and
heart were open to all. He was fond
of little children and many little girls
aud boys will miss his red-cLeeked
apples and his cheerful c0untenance."

his return home that he and his brother
would have to put In . new creamery
at Sumner In order to protect their
plant at Orting aud being unable to
come here this season on that account
he interested Mr.. John Broder, Of
Whatcom, whom he recommends In q
letter as . ''good business man who
built aud run the La Conner creamery
for three years. He was recommended
to me as an AL man, And he further
says IL am very sorry things have
90 happened, rs was very much taken
with the islands and intended to start
the creamery as soon a. possible"
Mr.. Broder arrived here from What.
com Saturday morning and, like Mr..
Patterson, he was very much pleased
with the situatiOn, especially after
making trip out to few Of the fine
farms Of The San Juan valley. He says
he Is more fAv0rably impressed with
the outlook for the successful operation
Of creamery here than he was at La
Conner before he went into the bust
neas there, and tons of fine butter are
being shipped from that creamery
every month.
Mr.. Broder quickly decided to put In

ton on the water front, and that he
was fortunate enough to secure be.
tween Sweeney's warehouse and
Browns lumber yard. He has made
arrangements to get lumber at Browne
mill and expects to begin work on the
building next week. He went to What
com Monday to complete his arrange
ments for the machinery, some Of
which he has already secured. He ex.
poets to have to order the churn from
Chicago, but he says he will telegraph
for 1t aud that 1t should be here by the
time the building is ready. He hopes
to have the creamery In operation
within thirty days.
1t is also Mr.. Broder's intention to
put i'm feed mill in connection with
the creamery, making u speciality of
grinding feed for dairy cattle. Sample
milk cans may be seen in few days at
Sweeney's store and arrangements may
be made there for the purchase OF De-
laval separators. Mr.. BrOder says that
he will move his family here from
Whatcom In about two months. He
wishes his children to remain there
until the school year closes.

and increased his operations until he

the Pacific coast opium trust. SO great
were the imports Of this ring that It

OF San Francisco aud Portland, aud

the field. The story of the method Of
its operation reads like q dime novel.
The opium sold on this coast comes
from Victoria aud goes to Seattle, San
Francisco and Portland. At Victoria
IL costs s. .0O q pound. Doty raises its
price to $l2 q pound on this side 0f the

Root Crops

In England the root crop for stock
feeding has been and yet is considered
Of greater Importance than the hay
crop. Not only are the sheep expected
to feed upon the turnips from the time
when they are large enough, but tur-
nips and mangels are no small part Of
their feed from the time they begin to
make growth until the next spring,
when the roots are exhausted. The
English farmers claim that they can
grow i've times the weight Of roots to
the acre and that . pound Of hay fed
with r0ots is Of much more value than
when fed alone, because Of more perfect
digestion.

VIEWS OF Mr.. GROSVEN0R.
He Reiterates His Endorsement of
the Income Tax.

ATHENS. Ohio. Nay 2.-Reoresentative
c H Grosvenor says that he has re-
ceived great many letters IN regard to
MS recent expressions az to an income
tax, the writers seeming to think that it
IS q new position taken by him, but he
asserts that it is not; that he has always
peeR IN favor of an income tax; that il is
the fairest tax in the world
General Governor declares that new
and grave questions in regard to the taxa
ton are coming to the front and must be
met He says America is ceasing to be a
nation Of importers and points out that
instead of importing steel and iron, il is
now exporting them and that it viii soon
be producing all the sugar it needs. and
that 1t must look largely to some other
ssurce than the tariff for national taxes
For this loss he would substitute as first
measure the income tax.
General Grosvenor discussed State taxa
ton at some length, pointing out the fact
that when the Constitution was framed
there vas scarcely such a thing in the
State constitution as a corporation or a
franchise and that a great change had
taken place with the growth of these;
tnat while they had been declared prop
eTty and were taxed to some extent as
property they are not taxed TO anything
like the extent they should be- He would
support all the State institutions and raise
all strictly State revenues from these
franchises
He called attention also to the fact that
there is nothing new in this; that Penn
sylvania and several other States now
raise their State revenues in this way.
He pointed out also how the evils of IN
dervaluations as between localities would
disappear when they would have to pay
nothing into the State Treasury and that
the State Board of Equalization for
which. as an institution, ne seemed TO
have small respect. would be done away
with He would have local taxes levied
by local bodies and attach as much re-
sponsibiiity as possible to local taxing
bodies.
