A Bumper Crop.

Cy Overman, one of the pioneer
farmers and stockmen of this
county, was in town from Tolo
Monday. Mr.. Overman has just
completed threshing his 200 acres
OF grain and considers it one of the
best crops he has ever raised dur
ing his long residence here. OF
the 200 acres there was 80 acres of
oats, 60 acres of barley and 40
acres OF wheat. From this he
threshed 10, 155 bushels of grain or
an average of over 80 bushel per
acre, all of which was first class
and harvested without being dam
aged by rain.

Vigorous Old Age

Paine's Celery Compound makes the old

years OF health and enjoyment to many life.
Use this great medicine regularly, and its invig-
Grating powers will fill your declining years
with health, strength, and happiness. Read
what George +. Morse, 81 years old, writes:-
WELLS & RICHARDSON Co.,
Gentlemen Just "a word in favor of
Paine's Celery Compound, hoping it may catch
the eye Of some afflicted person, and they
may receive the same satisfactory benefit.
Some IS years ago had combination of
malaria, chills and fever, and grip, which con-
tinued for year or more; meantime lost in
weight about 60 pounds, trying different medi.
cines and doctors with unsatisfactory results.
Paine's Celery Compound was recommended,
and, after using little began to improve,
gaining about pound week. In year /
had regained 50 pounds of the lost weight and
good health, and have been well man ever
since. Yours truly, GEORGE F. MORSE.

WILL RESUME WORK.
Otto Abeling Assumes Charge
of the Dewey Property.

Otto Abeling Assumes Charge
of the Dewey Property.
The Dewey mine located on the
Clearwater about seven miles from
this place but which has been shut
down for nearly two years past
will probably start up again. The
property was owned by a number
OF local people and some Seattle
gentlemen and while a great deal
OF good ore was shipped to smelt-
ers and brought satisfactory re-
turns its operating did not prove
entirely satisfactory and it was
finally shut down. About two
weeks ago capitalists from Maine ex-
amined this property and were so
well pleased with the showing that
they decided to supply the funds
necessary to give it thorough
test and in case the results were as
good as indicated, will Immediate
ly erect mill.
Otto Abeling, the we'll known
mining engineer of Moscow, was
made manager and has GO days in
which to make a thorough test of
the ore and submit plans and esti-
mates for the building of roads and
construction of mills. Mr.. Abel
ing is a large owner in the prop
erty and has great confidence in it's
permenant values. The financers
who are back of the work have
ample means at their command
and it is reported that $50, 1000 has
been raised with which to put it
in operation.

FRANK L. WHEELER.

We reproduce on the first page of this
issue the likeness of Mr.. F. L. Wheeler, who
has been recently elected Secretary of the
Seattle Produce Exchange. Mr.. Wheeler
is too well known to the majority of our
readers to need any introduction. He came
to this city from New York in 1889, and in
1892 purchased the famous "Buckskin Mill
err fruit ranch near North Yakima. This
was the pioneer commercial orchard of that
county He changed the name to Fruitvale
toward it's general Improvement, and during
the ten years succeeding it became recog-
nized as one of the model fruit farms Of this
state.
held the position of vice president for the
state of Washington of the Northwest Fruit
Growers Association, and has always taken
very active part in the affairs OF that Or
ganization. Last year he came to Seattle
and became a member of the commission
firm of H. S. Emerson & Co.
The Seattle Produce Exchange, of which
Mr. Wheeler is presiding officer, was organ
lied one year ago. Need of such an organic
alton had long been felt here. 1t embraces
all of the large commission houses in the
city, there being but three or four very small
concerns not yet members.
One of the first measures accomplished by
the Association has been to do away entirely
with free delivery Of goods in the city.
This was formerly very heavy tax upon
the commission merchants, and as the town
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1903-12-15

grew became so great that it was felt the
only way in which the situation could be re-
lieved was to abolish the system altogether.
On the first of January new credit sys-
TEN is to be established along the same lines
as in other large cities where such organ
izations exist and after that date the Asso-
citation will insist upon all accounts due
them being settled weekly. The reasons for
this are obvious. The commission mer-
chants and brokers pay cash for all goods,
and where received on consignment must
make prompt returns to their shippers
While it is true that heretofore the COM
mission merchants received about rs per
cent OF their payments weekly, the other
25 per cent dragged along for an indefinite
period. This new ruling will also have the
effect. of preventing irresponsible parties
coming in and opening up stores in compe-
tition with established retailers, and after
securing credit for goods going into bank
ruptcy In the future no one can engage in
the handling of retail produce without hav-
ing sufficient capital to make weekly pay
ment Of bills
In San Francisco the Produce Association
is very strong, and no one can go into the
commission business in that city unless first
elected member of the Association This
bars out the class of commission men who go
into business for few weeks securing a
large number of cOnsignments and then fail
ing, leaving their creditors in the lurch.
All meetings of the Seattle Produce Asso-
citation are called only by order of the Pres
ident or upon petition of six members.
Meetings are held only when important bus
mess is to be transacted and not at any
definite time.

Italians or Blacks.

The we'll known authority in bee keep
ing, Mr.. Doolittle, says that in 1872 he had
fifteen colonies of Italian bees and three
of black bees. He put maple sap in shallow
dishes, added sugar enough to make thin
syrup and then put honey near it. While
the honey lasted the bees were about in pro-
portion IS Italian to three black. When the
honey was gone the black bees soon quit
work, but the Italians continued on to thin
syrup until they had carried it all home, and
had reduced it to honey. This would seem
to indicate that Italian bees will work when
they get but little for their labor in prefer
ence to remaining idle, while natives will
not. 1t also helps to explain why Italian
bees are storing honey when natives are
not, and why they gather surplus when the
blacks do not get more than enough for their
stores.
