BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The business Of the country during the
past few weeks has been characterized by
a reaction from the feeling OF pessinlism
that prevailed during the latter part Of
the summer and fall. Natural causes
that affect trade have so shaped them
selves that they present more rosy out
look, and strength is being added to the
belief that the business OF the coming
year will be what the sentiment of the
business interests OF the country makes
it. The country has never advanced 80
rapidly in material prosperity as it has
during the past five years, and the ad.
vance has been on stable basis. Specu-
lation and fictitious valuation have had
their turn and have not affected the real
business to harmful extent.
Average conditions throughout the
business communities Of the United
States are SO much better than they ever
were before that any great reaction from
present prosperous conditions is hardly
possible. Crops turned out we'll, debts
have been paid off, the farming communi-
ties have money, banks are sound, bust
ness is good. Nothing, in fact, but
sentiment to the contrary can have much
of bearing for any material reduction
in business activity.
The lumber market is in good condi.
ton. Prices have sagged little, but
there are growing evidences Of strength,
and an increasing belief that building
during the coming year will not be great.
ly below that of the past two. The re.
tailers are more willing to buy lumber
than they were few weeks ago in
anticipation Of good early demand fol
material. Fake schemes and over CAPT.
taization have run their limit, and are
setting back to their true level through
the force of public opinion. Legitimate
business promises we'll for the new year

STATE POLITICS.

Patrick Henry Winston, in Winston 8
Weekly, has the following to say regard
ing the politics Ct the state:
On the surface, the republican party Is
firmly established in power.
All the daily papers west OF the Cas-
cades, where two-thirds OF the people re-
side, are railroad organs. All the daily
papers east OF the mountains are also
railroad organs, except the Spokesman
Review, and that is without influence in
the councils OF the party by reason OF its
bolt in 1896. With all the federal and
state patronage and the power OF the
press at it's command, and demoralized
and incompetent opposition in its front,
the chances OF its defeat seem so hopeless
to the ordinary mind that it is little WON
der that its corporation bosses use it
with INSCRIPTIONS and reckless disregard
of the rights OF the people. No wonder
they, like the French monarch and his
mistress act as il cater us the deluge."
No party ever had such golden oppor.
tunity to intrench itself In power, for
years to come, as is now presented to the
republican party of this state. II it has
the honesty and courage to rid itself OF
the leadership and dictation Of the Gross
cups, Stevensons, and Thompsons, to
repudiate the weak ard inefficient adj
ministration of Mcbride. to lift itself
above the level of the Ankeneys and
Fosters. if, in word, it has the honesty
to become once more the party OF the
people, it will be invincible for years to
come, not only against the democratic
party, but any possible party that may
arise.
If, on the contrary, it continues it's
course OF infamy, the people will find a
way to overthrow it. Whether it will be
through the democratic party depends
upon whether that party, instead II
snuping around and soliciting recognition
at the hands Of the railroad bosses, pur'
sues straightforward, honest and manly
policy, under wise, aggressive and un-
selfish leadership. Perhaps this is too
much to expect or even to hope for. But
one thing is as sure as that the sun
shines, the people will find way to re-
lieve themselves from the burden and
tyranny OF railroad rule.

During the Ohio campaign Senator
Hanna's favorite slogan:was, "For Gods
sake keep on letting we'll enough alone!'
Since the Ohio election more than TO-
600 employes:h have been thrown out OF
work by the closing down of factories
and shops. These 10000 men should
drop postal card reminders to Senator
Hanna every day. They followed his
advice and voted to let we'll enough
alone, and now they should persistently
demand OF the senator that he make
good on his end OF the bargain.

The Bulletin persists in misunderstand-

and water. There was also very pleas

tended by about sixty people from
Whatcom, including Attorney J. n.
Phillips, who delivered an address, and
Bank Wrecker st. John Dix, who was
under the watchful eye of Sheriff
Thomas, Of Whatcom county. The
Declaration of Independence was read
there by Mrs. L. q. Morrow, and so far
as we have heard, that was the only
place in the county where any atten-
ton was paid to that historic docu-
ment. There was quite a large crowd
here and the day passed off without
special incident orreerious disturbance
of any kind. In ths evening there was
quite a fine fireworks display, the
beauty of which was marred some
what by strong wind.

Black Spot on Apple Trees

The ISLANDER is in receipt Of let
ter from Prof Lawrence, of the State
Agricultural Experiment Station at
Puyallup, asking for information as to
the experience of horticulturists in this
county with the disease known as
"blaek spot" to which he is giving
much special study. 1t has been rep
resented to him that black spot does
not attack trees grown on land in
which there is a large amount of lime
present in the soil. The editor will
appreciate any Information that or
chardists may be able to give him upon
this point and also as to the varieties of
apple trees which seem to be most sub.
ject to attack by black spot and
whether there are any which are be
lieved to be free from it. 1t is not
likely that there are many, if there are
any, orchards in the county grown in
soils in which there is a large amount
of lime present, unless it has been APP
piled as fertilizer, for notwithstand-
ing the fact that the lime industry is
one Of the most important in the coun
ty, various analyses of soils have shown
them to be in almost every instance, if
not In every one, deficient in lime.
There are number of orchards, how
ever, in which lime has been applied
as a fertilizer and it would be interest
ing to know whether the trees in such
orchards are more free from black spot
than they are in others.

Capt. Thacksr, like his brother, is

one of the richest and most populous
sections of Illinois, drained by the llli-
nois river, along which an ineaicul-
able amount of damage has been done
this year by floods. The oyerfiowed
area is of vast extent and is dotted by
thousands of farms and scores of lovely
towns and cities. The great floods
have diverted al immense amount OF
