On February 9th the Washington
Livestock Association will hold it's
first monthly meeting at Walla Walla.
The most important part of the pro-
gram is the laying out of the general
work of the association for the future.
This organization is affiliated with the
National Livestock Association and is
starting out under most favorable
auspices. There should be a big atten-
dance at Walla Walla.

Between the city of Bellingham and
the town of Lynden, seventeen miles
north, there are seventeen miles of the
finest road to be found in western
Washington and every ranch along the
highway is paying it's owner nicely,
due to the ready access to market and
the great demand for the products at
up-sound points. But this section
will be still further enhanced in value
and accessibility in the near future, it
is asserted, through the building OF
an electric railway between the two
points, with an ultimate extension. to
Blaine and the boundary line. The
men who will gain the most by having
such line at their very doors are the
creamerymen, the poultrymen and the
fruitgrowers, three classes who are
particularly numerous in that sec
ton. Land in the county is held at
high prices and very little is for sale.
Prices will, of course, go still higher
when the interurban line is built.
This has been demonstrated in the
case of the interurban between Seattle
and Tacoma.

In the National House of Represen-
tatives there is a bill known as H,
R. 1869, introduced by Congressman
Trimble, of Kentucky. 1t is designed
'to prevent the adulteration of blue
grass, orchard grass and clover seed"
and in general seems to be a bill that
would work considerable good to the
users of these grass seeds could it's
provisions be fully and effectually en-
forced. At the same time it appears
that Congressman Trimble is attempt
ing to use the power of Congress in
the fostering and building up of an
industry peculiarly adapted to Ken
lucky, while knocking in the head SIM
liar industries in other sections Of
the country. The honorable congress
man makes an attack, in circular let
ter he is sending out with a copy of
his bill, on what is known as Cana
dian blue grass" and he makes some
statements in that same circular which
reflect on the intelligence of the farm
er who buys blue grass seed. The
blue grass growers down in Kentucky
must have been hard hit in the COM
petition with Canadian blue grass!
The bill in question and the circular
letter were submitted to Prof. Elliott,
agriculturist at our agricultural col
lege, for comment. He said: while
in the main I think the bill suggested
is good one and the purpose it seeks
to carry out is commendable, l doubt
very much if the plan proposed will be
successful in preventing the adultera-
ton mentioned. The difficulty of de-
tecting adulteration of this character
is very great and the inspection nee
essary to carry it out would have to be
done by experts.
"Some of the statements made in
the circular letter accompanying the
bill are unwarranted, but since this

The dairying industry in Idaho is
rapidly coming to the front. and in the
not distant future that state will be
among the best dairy sections of the
union. There are almost endless tracts
of fine land along the Snake river,
which, when irrigated, produce all
kinds of crops at very low cost.

Good ranches, whether for fruit or
stock, are not readily obtained when
one wants to lease. There is too much
money in farming and fruit raising
for the owner to think of leasing and
letting the other fellow pocket the
profits. But sometimes circumstances
make it advisable for the owner to
lease-and this is the case with the
fruit ranch advertised in this issue.

Sale of the snoquaImie Hop Ranch.
A most notable sale of valuable
ranch property was that conducted by
the Haynes-Cowen Company, of this
city, on Saturday, January %, selling
to the highest bidder the 1,240-acre
Snoqualmie Hop Ranch, more recent
ly known as Meadowbrook Farm, ad-
vertised in the last issue of this paper.
The sale was made for the receiver of
the Meadowbrook Company, J. S. Gold
smith, by order of the court, and the
successful bidder was B. J. Blomskog,
a large ranch owner residing at Kirk
land, and owning the Wilson-Wilken-
son ranch, of $40 acres, near Tolt. The
court had ordered an upset price of
$47,700, which was to cover mort
gage of $4,000 on the ranch and it's
equipment, interest of about $1,70O and
taxes approximating $1,000. The sue
cessful bidder was required to pay
$4,000 cash and assume the mortgage.
In spite of the inclement weather
there was a large crowd present at
the bidding. Mr.. Blomskog secured
the ranch and it's entire equipment and
all the livestock at $4,000, subject
to confirmation by the court. This
figure was rather more than the
Haynes Cowen Company and the re-
ceiver, Mr.. Goldsmith, had been look
ing for, owing to the fact that the
best private bid submitted since June
last was but $4,000.
The Snoqualmie hop ranch was one
of the best money-making properties
in the palmy days of hop raising. 1t
is the largest and best known ranch
Of its kind in the country, and just
before the hop business took such a
bad tumble short time ago it yielded
the Hop Growers Association a clear
profit of $4,000 in one year. About
this time it was mortgaged, with its
crop, to Hippolyte Dutard, of San
Francisco, for $165,00O. The crash in
hop prices left it in the possession of
Dutard, but it was later bought by
the Meadowbrook Company, Of which
G. H. Hamilton was the principal stock
owner, for less than $4,000. The man
agement was loose and extravagant,
and, instead of making money, the
property deteriorated and finally went
into the hands of the receiver, with
$4,000 owing the Dutard estate. This
mortgage, as stated, is to be taken
care of by the new owner.
Mr.. Blomskog's plans are not fully
matured, but it is known he intends
to give his personal attention to the
management Of the property. He will
turn 1t into fine dairy ranch, adding
to the stock as many more animals as
may be necessary to carry out his
plans. He has in the ranch the finest
soil to be found anywhere and will
be in position to raise a variety of
crops for the use of his cows. Witt

to soon get back his purchase money

Our hay raisers have been driven to
that point where they must either dis
pose of their stuff at no profit or must
stand together and compel consumers
and spectators in hay to pay fair
price for their forage. Among the first
to realize the necessity of taking steps
for organization were the hay raisers
in the Sunnyside district in eastern
Washington. They met at Sunnyside
recently and without any loss of time
steps were taken to organize an asso-
citation of hay growers of the entire
Sunnyside country, not to corner the
market, but to secure a standard pro-
duct of reliable quality and get the
direct patronage of the hay consumers
of the state and thus secure to the pro-
Queer the full value of his product.
1t is intended that delegates from
other places meet at Sunnyside in
June and organize large and powerful
association. Perhaps the consumer
will "view with alarm" this move
but there need be no fear. The hay
raisers simply want to put their bust
ness on a basis that will yield rea-
sonable profit and promote harmony
and cooperation among themselves.

The Northwest Fruitgrowers Asso-
citation held it's annual meeting in Port
land the second week of January, and
it was a meeting that will be long
remembered by the horticulturists of
this great section. The attendance was
large and the array of papers and ad-
dresses to which the members had
an opportunity of listening was really
remarkable. When such a meeting is
gotten up by our progressive horticul.
turists and nothing of trashy nature
permitted to invade the deliberations
of the convention, any man interested
in horticulture is more than repaid for
the time and expense incurred in being
present.
This organization is made up of hor-
ticulturists residing in the four north
western states and British Columbia.
1t is an interstate and international or
ganization and it's field of work is
broad enough without any one set of
delegates or any one state alone at
tempting to foist upon the convention
matters of a local nature or to attempt
to dictate to another state. The Ranch

DEATH OF MRS,
DR., MCDONALD

4 cable was received this morn
ing announcing the death in San
Francisco OF Mrs. DR.. J. T. Nc
Donald, Of Honolulu. Death was
due to pneumonia.
Mrs. Mcdonald was the wife OF
DR.. ]. T. Mcdonald, the bacteriolo-
gist for the Honolulu Board OF
Health, and sister of Clinton J.
Hutchins. She left Honolulu about
six weeks ago for a visit to her
mother and other friends on the
coast. The announcement OF her.
death comes as a severe shock to
her large circle of friends.
She was the daughter of the Rev.
DR.. Hutchins, who for many years
was one of the most prominent
ministers of the Congregational
church on the Pacific coast He
was pastor for very long time OF
the Congregational church at Peta-
luna, and the splendid new church
just recently dedicated there, was
in large measure a memorial to
him.
Before coming to Honolulu with
her husband, Mrs. Mcdonald was
for several years an active worker
in the First Congregational church
of San Francisco. She came to Ho-
nolulu about four years ago, and
has been very active in church
work since, in connection with
Central Union church. She was
singer OF hrst-class ability, and
generous with her time and voice
for the pleasure or the good Of 9TH
.ers. She was a deaconnesslin Cen
trail Union church, and her work
among children was especially sue
cessful. Her nature was very
sympathetic giving her great
though gentle influence with chill
dren. Wherever help was needed,
Mrs. Mcdonald was ready with
quite helpfulness.
A cablegram was received last
Thursday saying that she was seri-
ously i'll, but on Friday her condi-
ton was so reassuring that the ca
BILE this morning announcing her
death, came as a shock.
Memorial services will be held
here some time later.

4HE TERMS OF THH JUSTICES

effect on June IA. One of the justices
qualified on July 8 and the other two on
July 80. The Organic Act provides
that the terms Of the justices shall be
four years in length. There are three
views that may be taken. One is that
the terms end four years from the date
of the commissions, another that the
end is four years from June IA, 1900 and
a third opinion is that the terms ex-
pire four years after the dates when
the justices qualified"
The view taken by the Department Of
Justice will be shown in it's action
with regard to salaries. 1t will stop
the salary of the retiring justice on
the date when it deems his commits
sion expires. The date of beginning
the salaries four years ago was that
on which the justices qualified.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-05-16

The question of when the commits
sions of the Justices of the Supreme
Court expire is being a good deal dis
cussed among those interested, There
are three different views, each of
which has much to support it, in the
law and facts of the case, giving the
dates as June 5, June IA and July 8 for
onejustice and July 80 for the other
two.
1T is a conundrum," said Chief JUS
tice Frear, but not a question that is
very liekly to come up for a practical
determination. I do not think it is a
matter that is likely to cause any
trouble,
THE facts are that the commissions
of the justices were dated June 5, 1900
and are for four years from the date
