Best beefsteak is quoted at Al cents
a pound in the city of Berlin, the same
kind which is obtainable in this coun-
try for 20 cents. Other meats are also
scarce and high priced. 1t seems queer
that for the benefit of the few stock
raisers in that country the government
should see fit to bar out the cheap meat
products of this and other countries.

The Hibernal apple is every way as
poor as it looks to be. The most that
can be said in its favor is that it is so
hardy that it will probably do fairly
well where other apples cannot be
grown.

Captain w. L. Rice, who has been
mayor of Bristol, Tenn, ever since
that place became a city, resigned the

The increasing use of machinery on
the farm has of course increased the
number of accidents happening to the
men who operate it. but after all we
have noted that more men have been
killed this year by sliding off from
loads of hay and grain on to pitchforks
than in any other way.

A. Wet Summers Conversations.

While crop losses were severe and
almost total in valley locations during
the past summer by reason of the I'M
usual floods all through the West and
Northwest territory, the compensations
OF a wet season are not to be over
looked. Throughout all the region so
drenched five previous years of short
rainfall ruined the water powers, made
brooks of the rivers, dried up the
springs, exhausted the subsoil moisture,
converted lake beds into cornfields,
killed the trees both in grove and orch
ard and ruined the pastures. The down
fall of 36 inches of water and in many
localities much more during the months
of May, June, July and August has
wrought out a marvellous TRANSFORMED
ton. The rivers are once more bank
full, every spring a-spouting, the earth
saturated to a depth of ten feet or more,
the lake bed cornfield is converted into
a lake once more, all tree life has made
a phenomenal growth, and pastures
have been knee deep, as in June, all
summer. 1t is all in line with natures
way of balancing things up, and all
will feel better to think of the blessings
brought by the rains rather than on the
losses they may have entailed.

Nineteen hundred and two has been
a sort of freak season. We have noted
more abnormal growths among fruits,
grains and vegetables than we ever did
before. Potatoes appeared in large
rodules on the vines, corr grew I'M
usually tall and set from two to four
ears on a stalk, cabbage and celery have
gone to seed the first season, while
strawberries and raspberries set a Sec
ond crop of fruit.

A farmer friend of ours after 80 years
spent in peace and quiet on his farm,
having retired to live in town. thought
he would take an active interest in
politics this fall and so came up as a
candidate for an Office. He tells us that
while he knew there was a good deal
of in men he still had no idea
of the depth of their total d~epravity I'M

hardly now trust his best friends.

There are two things about which
nothing bad is ever said-the bronze
grass and alfalfa. The former is of al
most inestimable value to all that large
territory where timothy and the clovers
will not do well for lack of sufficient
moisture, while alfalfa is proving the
redeemer of a principality of hereto
fore worthless lands in the West. Nc
fact is better proved than this-where
grass can be made to grow there will
follow all other good things in an agri-
cultural way.

The Sunnyside people to all appear
ances are not a unit on the matter of di-
vision. In fact it is claimed that very
small portion of them are. The meet
ing that was held on Monday evening,
July 2Sth, was not very largely attended,
only twenty being present, ten of whom
voted against the proposition. The
meeting held Tuesday evening could
hardly be called a representative one,
and of the ten delegates appointed to at
tend the convention at Prosser the day
following five were opposed to division.
Sunnyside has two or three enthusiast
tic workers for division providing Sum
nyside be made the county seat, other
wise they would prefer that the county
remain as it is or if divided that that
district be left part of Yakima county.
Taking it all together the meeting at
Prosser was far from satisfactory
whether matters can be satisfactorily
arranged by the promoters of the
| scheme so that there will be no pos.
sible hitch in the proceedings in the fu.
ture, remains to be seen.

HOP PROSPECTS,,

Hops are steadily creeping up to zoe
and no future contracts are expected to
be made at any figures lower than 20c.
This has caused lull in the making of
contracts, but as growers appear to he
alive to the fact that hops are going to be
hops this year it is anticipated that con-
tracts for futures will again be made by
dealers who are wise enough to secure
them before prices 60 up to and beyond
SOC. The New York crop is improving.
Late reports are that the yield of the
Empire state will be between 10000 and
10000 bales. Crop reports from Eng
land continue adverse. The yield in
that country will probably not exceed
100000 cwt.. compared with $50, 000cwt.

MAKE 1T HOT FOR THEM.

Anticipating the tremendous crowds
shat will visit Seattle during the Elks'
carnival, it has been decided by the food
caterers of the city to raise prices and
thereby reap harvest by the same
ghoulish tactics adopted at Tacoma last
year. The newspapers of Seattle should
make that sort OF thing so unpopular
that no restaurant keeper would dare
overcharge for a single item on his bill
of fare. The Seattle Argus takes up the
eudgel in these words:
The restaurant keepers of the city have
held meeting, and have decided to raise
the price OF food very materially during
She coming Elks' carnival. Here is one
kind of holdup game against which the
police are powerless. There is no more
excuse for it than there would be in
knocking man down with club and
taking his money away from him. A
ham sandwich or piece of custard pie
has a certain market value. The dealer
in these goods will make larger profits
than usual by reason of the fact that he
will do a larger volume OF business. They
will give poorer service for the same
reason. And to ask an advanced price
in the face of these conditions is pre-
posterous. With only few exceptions
these same restaurant keepers have re-
fused to give anything worth speaking
of towards the carnival. They however
are the first ones to handicap it by such
methods.
Inasmuch as they will have to work
harder, The Argus would suggest that
the walters and cooks make demand
for share of this additional money in
the shape of a rase OF wages during the
carnival. If anybody is entitled to it,
they are the ones.
