May Change Cable Route

A landing place for the Orcas island
end of the inter island and Bellingham
telephone cable is reported to have
been selected a short distance south of
Point Lawrence. An unexpected diff
ficulty, however, is reported TO have
been encountered which may necessi-
tate a change of route. Off Point Law
renee there is said to be great abyss
in the sea bottom six fathoms in depth,
across which, on account OF the heavy
tides, it is considered unsafe to lay a
cable because of constant danger OF
breakage. The general character OF
tho bottom between Point Lawrence
and Lummi island is said to vary
much from that indicated by the gov
ernment charts and to be unfavorable
for cable route. The bottom is re-
ported to be very,rough and rocky and
the water much deeper than the charts
indicate. Mr.. Lain has been engaged
this week in making a survey between
Fldalgo and Decatur islands, with a
view of connecting with the Sunset
system at Anacortes instead OF What
com. A little less cable would be re-
quired than via Lummi island and the
practicabllity of the route was demon
strated many years ago when a cable
was laid by the Western Union Tele-
graph Company.

Remember the Homeless

The December number of the Wash
ington Children's Home Finder con.
tains a letter from Mrs. Lille A. Bruins
of Shaw island, in which was enclosed
a money order for sl.65, contributed 10y
some of the children Of the island to
aid a crippled boy for whom the Ckil-
dren's Home Society has purchased an
artificial limb and is now seeking to
find home. The letter says:
"The names preceded by cross are
those who earned their money by pick
ing up prunes. While the sums are
small they stand for hard, tire.ome
work by loving little fingers, whose
owners little hearts were touched by
an orphans affliction."
What nice thing it would be il the
children Of every school district i'm the
county would emulate the example OF
the little folks OF Shaw island and each
contribute mite to be sent as Christ
mas gift to the Children's Home,
which depends entirely upon volun-
tary contributions to carry on the
noble work it is doing in behalf OF
homeless children. If every pupil in
the schools of the county would con
tribute few cents, think how much it
would help toward "a Merry Christ
mas" for the homeless children in
charge of the Children's Home Society.

Increase in State Population

According to the report of the state
bureau of statistics, from 1860 to 1870,
l2,36l people came to the state, or at
the rate of ! ,236 per year; from 1870 to
1880, the number was 81 ,l61, or 5,16l
per year; from 1880 to 1890, the number
was 2S4, ,274, or 27,427 per years from
1890 to 1900. the number was l9S, ,713. or
1851 per year; from 1900 to 1908, the
number has been 24l ,5S4, or so, ,52S per
year. The yearly gain during the past
three years has been three times as
great as during the years 1880 to 1890
when the state enjoyed what was called
the great boom, and five times a. great
as during the 1890 to 1900 period.
The percentage OF increase west of the
mountains during the past year has
been 1872 while the eastern part of the
state has added 4S.7per cent. to its pop
ulation during the past three years.

WHAT WILL THE
PUBLIC Do?
PACKERS IN ABSOLUTE CONTROL OF
MEAT SUPPLIES AND PRICES
They Pay the Farmer What They Please
and Charge the. Consumer ALI He'll
Stand-The Packers Combine Growing
Stronger.

"When few men can make prices
for one of the necessities of life and
make the people pay them, what is the
public going to do about il?" inquiries
the Kahsas City Star, and then says,
Practically everybody eats meat and
a large number of people depend for
their living on raising the animals.
But the packer says what the farmer
shall have for mis- live stock and what
the consumer shall pay for the meat.
With declining market for live stock
he keeps the price to the consumer up
to what it was when the live stock cost
40 per cent more than it does now.
"Members of the National Live
Stock Association assert that the pack
ing companies have 100 millions In
vested in their business, while the stock
raisers have $500 millions invested.
But the packer fixes the value of the
stock raisers' product. He says to the
stock raiser: i will give you so much
for your cattle. If you don't like it,
eat them YOURSELF When he gets the
cattle he cuts them up and says to tho
consumer: This is my price for the
meat. II you don't like it, turn vege.
tartan or go hungry
"Some shippers of cattle are trying
ing to get up an independent packing
house owned by farmers. Their most
recent circular says:
"Everyone knows that the leading
packing firms of the country, to all in
tsnts and purposes, have entered into q
combination by which they absolutely
control and fix the price of the live
product to the grower, and also the
price Of the finished product to the
consumer. Representatives of the four
great packing houses meet in Chicago
every weekday afternoon and fix these
prices for the following day, regardless
of all laws relating to the supply or de-
mand, and these prices prevail at all Of
our markets. By this method of busi-
ness all competition is destroyed, and
the farmers, stoCkmen and consumers
are at the mercy Of one OF the most far
reaching trusts ever organized in this
country
"The truth of this assertion is obvi-
Gus when you consider that fifteen
months ago No. | beef, on the .hoof,
sold in Chicago from $3.50 to $S.65 per
hundred. Today the same quality OF
beef brings but from 1886 to S5.40 per
hundred pounds, decline of fully SO
per hundred or $50 per head for a 900
pound animal. The dressed product,
it will he seen, has sustained but an in
significant reduction, entirely out of all
proportion to the decline in the price of
live animals.
"Hogs on Oct. 8, 1902, were selling
from 500 to S7.45 per hundred. One
year later they were worth tut 50 to
S5.65, a decline in the value to the
farmers of about $3.50 on every animal
while there Is no perceptib'e reduction
in the price Of pork products to the
consumer.
This decline in prices is said to rep
resent loss to live stock raisers in five
central western states alone during the
past year of 1886, ,OOO,O or nearly one
fourth of the total value of the live
stock of the United States.

Eighty 0rinninx Skeletons

A single vessel of the Spanish feet
sunk at Manila, when raised, presents
the CHASTITY spectacle of 80 skeletons.
The Reina Christina, flagship of Ad-
miral Montojo, went down under the
fire of Admiral Dewey's guns She has
now been raised, and the grinning
skeletons of 80 of her crew, who were
sunk with her, greeted the Mortified
gaze of those who descended into her
hold.
And yet each of these skeletons rep
resents what was a man when the
ship plunged beneath the waves.
A man with warm blood in his
veins, with love of life, with home
and wife and children, it may be,
awaiting his coming, but waiting in
vain. A little incident this, in war,
scarcely worth mentioning, but in
dividualized, how horrible!--Bosto,
Traveller ..
