The ISLANDER is not advised that
any negotiations have yet been entered
into with J. Pierpont Morgan, or any
one else, to Morganize the warehouse
interests on the Friday Harbor water
front and consolidate them under one
management, bnt 1t would be good
scheme, both for the present owners
and the public. The maintenance OF
three separate mercantile wharves in a
place like this is quite expensive for
the owners and quite unnecessary, and
the landings of the mail and passenger
steamers at three places involve good
deal of waste Of time end energy, and
on the theory that "time is money!
the pecuniary loss is considerable.
People frequently complain that wharf.
age charges are burdensome, the com.
plants In most cases having reference
to the minimum charge of ten cents on
small packages, but it is a pretty sure
thing that II the kickers were to at.
tempt to maintain wharves for while
and be responsible for the temporary

the present wharf owners would unite

say that they would get much better
return upon their investment than
they do now. and the public would be
better served.

THE PROSPEROUS AaRIcuLruR1sr

Orange Judd Farmer reviews the
position of the western farmers, and
points out that good times are theirs
beyond question.
Their wheat crop is worth more than
last years by $50 millions of dollars.
Other grains represent as large q
total value this year rs last, the short.
age in yield of corn being made up by
advance in price.
Potatoes are so high that the short
crop will probably return more money
to the farmer than ever before.
Live stock represents q value of
nearly $50 millions Of dollars over last
year.
Apples and other fruits are extraor-
dinarily high.
The farm products Of the United
States this year are doubtless worth
400 million dollars more than last
years outturn.
The cereals wheat, corn, oats, rye
and barley raised in the United States
during the past five years represent q
value to the farmer of $3.50 millions OF
dollars, or an increase of nearly 1000
millions over the preceding five years.
Cotton growers have netted 400 mil
lion dollars more for the past five crops
(l90l crop estimated) than for the
previous five.
Taking 1896 az a fair basis of values
during the late agricultural depression,
nine staple crops for this year represent
an increase in value of over 700 millions
of dollars. Live stock is worth 1000
millions more now than then.
During the past five years, agricul.
tural exports have been 93S millions Of
dollars greater in value than for the
preceding five years, gain of 80 per
cent, while exports of manufactures
have almost doubled in value. The
excess of exports over imports is nearly
three-fold that of 1926. Whereas IN
the former period the United States
lost 900 millions of dollars In gold, dur.
ing the past five years it gained 1872
millions, or net addition to the ma
tons gold supply of 412 millions. The
total stock of gold in the United States
now (1125 millions) is double what ii
was five years ago, and the per capita
circulation of money ($28) is 80 pei
cent greater now than then.
With a keen foreign demand for our
surplus, the American farmer certainly
rejoices i'll glorious prospect fol
profits, prosperity and happiness.
The position Of the farmer plays q
highly important part in the condition
Of the country, because he belongs to a
class that constitutes the widest dis
tributor of wealth. When the Ameri
can farmer is prosperous, the American
merchant and the American wage
Garner are prosperous, and the condi'
tons as revealed by the agricultural
authority noted are therefore crafty.
