Some time ago several travelling
men were sitting together in car
on a train which daily makes 9
round trip over certain division OF
the Boston and Maine railroad. One
of the number, the Boston Herald
says, had not only monopolized the
conversation, but from time to time
had poked fun at the quiet con-
ductor.
As the train approached the Hav-
erhill station the travelling man
turned to the conductor, who stood
near by, and shouted boisterously:
"Say, George, what made them
locate the station SO far away from
the village?"
q don't know" the conductor
gravely replied, 3unless they thought
it would be more convenient to have
it down here near the railroad

plan which is well worthy ofserious
consideration in other places.
There are now two hundred saloons
in the city and the evils almost
everywhere associated with the
liquor traffic under the license sys-
tenn are as fragrant there as in 9th
er places. The gentlemen who are
seeking to effect a practical reform,
which would probably be a profit
able one also from a pecuniary
point of view, offer 5000 a month
each for seventy-five licenses, or
$4,000 a year, for the exclusive
saloon sale of liquor. They agree
to pay a profit for every case of sale
to an intoxicated person or to a
minor, and also agree to keep coffee
and soft drinks on sale in all sa-
looms.
If the county commissioners of
this county, in whom the law vests
absolutely the control of the liquor
traffic, desire to eliminate the worst
features connected with it and at
the same time secure to the county
a reasonable revenue from it, the
opportunity is theirs. The way is
open and the best moral sentiment
Of the entire county will support
any and all really earnest efforts
that they may make to improve
existing conditions.

Military Preparation

The Philadelphia Public Ledger
had al article recently outlining the
comprehensive plans Of the general
staff Of the United States army for
placing the military establishment on
q more efficient footing.
1t is proposed to keep the army en-
listed to its present strength of co.
600 men; to form a regular reserve
corps of 10000 men; to organize a ma
tional reserve of 100, 600 men and to
bring the organized state militia to a
total numerical strength of $4,000.
This plan would allow the president
to altogether on the shortest pos

AS TO FRUIT RAISING

A news item from Sumas publish
ed recently in a number of papers
told of tons of fine fruit rotting on
the ground in the orchards of that
vicinity because of lack of a market
for it, and the statement was made
that many farmers would cut down
their trees and convert the land to
other uses. The cost Of transporta-
ton to the nearest fruit cannery is
said to be as much as the cannery
pays for the fruit delivered. What
is true there is true also of
many other localities in all of the
Sound counties and many other sec
tons of the state. And still the city
papers keep on publishing glowing
articles calculated to induce people
of small means and little or no hor-
ticultural experience or knowledge
to engage in fruit raising. Incalcu-
liable harm was done by these same
papers in the early nineties when
they printed columns upon col
umns of articles representing that
fortunes awaited those who would
engage in the production of italian
prunes in western Washington. As
a consequence hundreds of people
bought land at high prices, much
of it of little value for any purpose,
cleared it at heavy expense for la
Dor, powder etc. and set out prune
orchards upon which they expend-
ed vast amount Of labor to bring
into bearing only to find that the
crop was uncertain, the market
nearly always overstocked and pri-
ces almost invariably too low to
leave any margin of profit. IF the
"chlef scribes and pharisees" of the
city press would take some Of their
own advice and HE themselves to
the country for a few years and en-
gage in fruit raising as means of
livelihood they would have the diff
ference between theory and prac-
tlce In horticulture borne in upon
them in manner that would be
likely to add materially to the re-
liability of their subsequent state
ments in print relative to this
branch of agricultural industry, in
localities not exceptionally we'll

Saving
Money

We wish to call your atten
ton to the desirability of saving
money. John d. Rockefeller
tells us that Anyone can make
money;few can safe il. "The man
who is saving money Is build
ing character; he is acquiring
power. It is the man with char
acter and money who Is able to
take advantage Of Opportunity
when she knocks at his door.
It is the fixed habit of saving
something, no matter how small,
that counts. Persistent saving
creates aahabit of life that is
fruitful in results. It is Russell
Sage's advice to young mon to
save twenty-five cetns out of
every dollar earned-and stick
to it. But if you can't save
twenty-five cents save ten or
five; save something anyway.
The best way to save is to
start bank account. Money in
your pocket is easily spent, but
money in the hank is out of
easy reach.
Did you ever think about the
power of interest? Do you
know that 81 deposited each
month will amount TO $64.72 in
five years and to $139.8O in ten
years at 8 per cent? That IS de-
posted each month will amount
to $324.8I in five years and to
$699.58 in ten years3 Think it
over, remem bering meanwhile
that THE SAN JUAN COUNTY
BANK is well equipped to care
for its large business; that it has
established Banking by Mail
department, which it places at
your service, and that it receives
deposits from 81 up. It aims to
encourage thrift, to promote the
saving ''habit." 1t would be
pleased to open an account with
you and to help you save.
