typographical error, as 100000 tons is
about what this firm is using as a

Get Your Moneys Worth.

Is The Ranch worthy the patronage
of the farmers of the Northwest?
Here is what Mr.. Lichty says:
81 had discussion with one OF our
prominent farmers on the value of The
Ranch as an agricultural paper. l ar
gued that this is the best in that line
published in the Northwest. The ranch
er claimed that the eastern agricul-
tural papers were more replete with
information. My response was that
we need something special for our
country, and that The Ranch came
nearest in filing the place."
The Ranch tries to give it's patrons
their moneys worth. We don't cir
culate all over the universe. We are
satisfied to thoroughly represent the
agricultural interests of the Pacific
Northwest. A few outshine us in cir
culation and quantity. The Ranch is
as good as most of them in quality and
better than some. We devote all our
time to the paper and work hard at it.
We are fairly well supported, and the
papers income is steadily increasing,
as is natural, with the development OF
the country. There are some farmers
who don't appreciate our earnest eff
forts and are not on our list, preferring
to get their farm papers from back
east where they do things Gin the good
old way" or else don't need any farm
paper at all. To them The Ranch isn't
worth the price. There are almost
10000 farmers in our territory who
think it is. They continue their sub
scriptions year after year, get their
neighbors to take it, and plug in a
good word for us wherever they can.
We are steadily building up by the aid
OF our loving friends. In looking back
over the course we have come thus far,
we feel that we have done well. The
future? We are not prophet nor the
seventh son of prophet. But the flu
ture does look good to us!

F. Walden has been engaged as a
staff contributor by The Ranch, and
will hereafter write regularly for us on
horticultural and other rural topics.
Mr.. Walden is himself a practical fruit
grower, having one of the best COM
mercial orchards in the state at Zillah.
He has been at it all his life, knows
all the ms and outs, and ups and downs
of the business; and he knows how to
put his information in plain English,
so that it is both instructive and enter
tanning. Questions on horticultural
topics can be addressed to Mr.. Walden,
care of The Ranch, Seattle, and he will
answer them through his department.

DOUBLE-DYED KNAVERY.

The poet might have added that
olive oil is expressed from the seed

oratory effect. Oleomargarine may
be a wholesome product, but nova
days paternal government sees that
your butter is derived.
But there are no laws against sub
stitution, and this is the age OF sub
stitutiOn, the day of parasitism and
piracy in business-and, it might be
added, in politics. The statesman
who promises his henchman a certain
appointment, cor something equally
good, and usually gives him the lat
ter-is a substitutOr who plays the
game of keeping the word of promise
to the ear and breaking it to the hope
as cunningly as the enterprising max
err who initiates the name of a popu-
lar bicycle or the gentle scoundrel
who palms off a cheap drug for
costly one. One-half of the business
world lives on the brains of the other
half. The most familiar motto OF the
advertiser has to be-: Beware OF iml-
tatiOns." For the one man who has
an idea, and the courage and the cap
ital to exploit it, there are nine men
waiting to steal it from him. Even
literature has it's parasites. Let
novel or play make a popular hit, and
within a month a dozen publishers
or managers have palpable limitations
on the market.
This is the meanest phase of
human nature. The substitutOr is
double-dyed knaVe, for he steals not
only the purse, but the good name OF
his victim. The just-as-good kind Of
merchandise is never so good as the
original, or if it were, it could be sold
on it's merits And the meanest kind
of substitution is that which prevails III
the drug trade. This is simply trifiing
with human life. Most of the prOpri-
etary remedies are of value in the
treatment of the ailments which they
are advertised to cure. They could
not have succeeded without merit.
Advertising can do much, but it can
not make the public buy poor article
more than once or twice. The substi-
tutor being thief at heart, and hav-
ing already stolen the good name of
the producer, sees no reason why he
should keep faith with the consumer.
He tells him that this is just as good"
as the advertised article, and then de-
liberately gives him some preparation
which will not cure and may injure,
because there is more money in the
transaction for the heartless substi-
tutor. There should be laws in every
state against substitution, and they
should be enforced as rigidly as are
the laws against adulteration and in
fringement of patent right.

BERT MILLER ON young.

Senator Miller Of Rock county
adds his testimonial to Senator.
Young, and it is published in an
other column this week. There is
no one acquainted with legislation in.
Minnesota during the past eight
years who will deny that Senator.
Miller has been one Of the most
powerful foes of corporations and
corporate interests in the Senate,
and his words in behalf of Senator
Young must therefore carry great
weight.
Senator Miller clearly defines
Mr.. McCleary S interest in the Sew
enth district contest and then states
that in point Of ability Mr.. Bowling
is not to be compared with Senator
Young, who is one OF the ablest men
in the State, brilliant lawyer, an
eloquent orator and a skilled parlia-
mentarian.
The GAZETTE has brought this
matter to the attention Of the voters
of this county and the Seventh dis
trict repeatedly. It has made the
statement calmly and deliberately,
and without any attempt to appeal
to the prejudices Of the voters, be-
lieving that they were anxious to
choose the best man for this impor-
tant place, and that when the votes
are counted they will have done SO,
and that man will beSenator Young.
One point more. It has been in
stimated that the Republicans sup
porting Senator Young were the
opponents of Gov VanSant This
is, indeed amusing. The GAZETTE,
the Morgan Messenger, the Lam,
berton Star, the Wabasso Standard
were the first to take up the fight
in this county for the denomination
of Gov. VanSant, while Bro. Welles
and his followers, during the extra
session of the last legislature, were
preparing to support any candidate
that would oppose the Governor for
denomination, and when they saw
that none was forthcoming they fell
into line. Senator Young's friends
were the original VanSant men in
Redwood county and Senator
Young's S leading opponents were
Gov. VanSant's opponents.
