STATE SOLDIERS HOME

Editor ISLANDER: Only three Indian
war men have been admitted to the state
soldiers home at Orting. The first one,
named Blodgett, so conducted himself
that he was dishonorably discharged; l
was the second one, and the third and
last one admitted SO far came from Ore
gon long years after the last war with the
Indians. He served in the Oregon reg-
ment raised IN the Willamette valley and
forty or sixty days.
Pension papers are being forwarded
pretty rapidly since the passage of the
act granting pensions to this class of vol
unteers. The amount is said to be only
s. per month to all alike, regardless of
disability. time OF service or duty per-
formed. From present indications more
widows than men are making applica-
ton. Col. T. y. Wood, grand COM
mander Of the Indian War Veteran So
ciety of the Northwest Coast, of Portland,
Oregon, is attending to large number of
these cases. 1t will probably be six
months from the date of the passage of
the act, June q, 1912, before the first
checks in payment of these pensions will
be received. The general government
guarantees to the state Of Washington
500 per annum for each Union soldier
admitted to this home, and now that In
dian war veterans have at last been recog-
nized, perhaps the same grant may be ex-
tended to them. The women and wives
will have to stay at their private homes
and get along the hest they can on the IS
stipend. The men yet living will be
cared for at some national or state institu-
ton on application. Not many women
have married Indian war veterans, prob
ably because they have not drawn PEN
sions, hence most of the widows now APP
plying were wives at the time of the war.
Matters are moving along smoothly at
this home and the new commander, j.
III. Coffman, and his wife, our worthy
matron, are gaining popularity every day.
Old Capt. Nelson, well known on Wild
by island, died here today. He was So
years old and oied from heart failnre,

RAILROAD COMMISSION QUESTION
Roche Ifarbor

The ISLANDER has little sympathy
with the strenuous efforts being put
forth by Governor Mcbride to make
the question Of the regulation of rail-
road rates by railroad commission, to
be appointed by the governor, a pollti-
cal issue in this state. We do not pre-
sumo to question the sincerity of the
governors motives, but we do take
issue with him strongly in his appar-
ent assumption that all who are OPP
posed to his favorite method of rail-
road regulation are afraid of the rail
roads" or "suhservient" to them. This
than the average citizen, who is not
close student of the great question OF
transportation, is apt to concede. They
are doing more to promote the settle
ment and development of the agricul-
tural sections of the northwest than all
other agencies combined, and the
greatest industries Of the Puget Sound
region, numbering aud fisheries, are
tiourishing phenomeually, largely, es-
pecially in the lumber industry, be-
cause of the low freight rates which
have opened the markets Of the Missis-
sippl valley states, and even Of those
farther east, to our lumber products.
1t is not to the interest of the railroads
to enforce IN unfair schedule of freight
. or passenger rates, the inevitable result
of which would he to check settlement
and development, upon which the
roads must depend for the steady and
substantial increase in volume of traffic
which they all seek.
OF course the governor declalms hav.
ing any desire to impose upon the rail-
roads any unreasonable regulations,
but his public attitude toward them is
certainly antagonistic instead of such
as to inspire them with confidence in
the fairness Of his intentions and in the
attitude that would be likely to be as
sumed toward them by amy commits
sion that would be appointed under an
uCb Wy
Whatever may be the merits of the
commission question considered in the
abstract there is certainly no reason
why the Republicans of this county
should mix themselves up in such a
fight as the governor is waging. The
railroads are giving the chief points in
this county the advantage of terminal
rates and are doing it at considerable
loss, inasmuch as they have to pay to
the steamboat companies their regular
local rate from Seattle to the islands.
1t is of very great importance to the
fishing industry and to the lime indus
try, as well as to our general mercan-
tile interests, that this considerable COLI
cession be continued in effect. If the
commission plan of railroad regulation
is founded upon common sense prin-
ciples that could be wisely applied i'm
this state, which is questionable, then
the same principles should be made to
apply to steamboat transportation as
well. Until they are, it will be worse
than folly FOR this county to slime up"
with forces engaged in efforts to pre-
vent the railroad companies from man.
aging their own business.

Prospective Prune Crop.

The worlds prune crop will not be
so large as last year. A recent report
from France states that, owing to uI-
favorable climatic conditions, both the
prune and walnut crops will he far be-
low the average both as to quality and
quantity. 1t is thought there will be
no prunes for export. In California the
prune crop is estimatedat 20 to so
million pounds. or about % per cent.
below a full crop. In Oregon, Idaho
and Washington the yield may run
about two-thirds full crop.
Based on these conditions. the price
may average about that Of last year.
In California the packers are anxious
to contract on basis of q cents for the
regulation sizes. The growers are hold
ing out for % cents and some think
they will be able to start on basis of
u cents.
This would figure Al to 5 cents for the
prunes usually shipped from Vancou-
yer, Clarke county, Wash. 1t is evil
dent that buyers are trying the metal
of the growers while the dried fruit
association is slumbering. According
to the unerring laws of supply and de-
mand, prunes should not go begging
this season. Horticulturist.
