The gain in the last year has been
SO Is per cent, and the deposits at
present are double what they were
five years ago.
This money represents the profits
of agriculture in the fertile valley
of the Yakima river, where fruit
growing and vegetable raising on ir-
rigated lands have proved a larger
and surer source of wealth than
gold mining in any state or territory
of the Union. The telegram cited
mentions the case of one farmer
who cleared $4,000 from ten acres
of pears during the last season. In
view of such results from scientific
agriculture, there is little wonder,
as our correspondent suggests, that
the banks of North Yakima should
be full of money.

Inland Empire and on the rich west

ers are starting banks with the
profits from agriculture, and a state
which twelve years ago was badly
crippled financially by the great
panic, because it was in its indus
trial infancy and operating largely
on borrowed capital, is now able to
finance its own enterprises and to

The outlook for the farmer in the
Yakima valley for the year 1906 Is
indeed bright one. In fact the
ensuing twelve months, one of which
is almost gone, from an exterior
view would indicate a season of
great prosperity. The farmer who
reviews past conditions and achieve
ments, and the possibilities for the
future. is justified in congratulate
Ing himself on the progress made
and the improved conditions for sue
cesses yet to follow. Just at the
beginning of the new year, while
the SHOWS of winter cover the
ground, is good time to pause and
make a review of the situation, and
weigh the chances for future devel-
opment.
The farmer Of today is fortunate
in many respects. The advantages
which he enjoys were unknown ia
his forefathers, and he should there.
fore rejoice in the existence of these
advantages. The farmer of today IL

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY.
COMB HONEY NOT MACHINE
MADE.

In MarCn, l9U0, there was formed
in Chicago, and incorporated the
following month in Illinois, an or
ganization called The HoneyPro-
ducers' League One of its objects
is ito publish facts about honey and
counteract Misrepresentation of the
same" 1t is hoped through the eff
forts of this league. with the coop
GRAFTON of the leading newspapers
and magazines of our country, to
turn the tide in favor of the use of
honey as daily food, and also, as
before stated, to endeavor to cor
rect the proper delusion that comb
honey is man-made article.
Some 25 years ago a noted pro
fessor'' in order TO work off a super
abundance of fun. as he termed it,
published the statement that honey
comb was manufactured, then filled
with glucose and sealed over, all
with appropriate machinery. 1t
seems that the press of those days
were waiting to welcome such a yarn
and forthwith scattered the news
throughout the length and breadth
of the land. 1t was so we'll done.
and seemed to be so eagerly swal-
lowed by the public, that its unfor-
tunate repetition has been going on
during all these years The very
best metropolitan dailies of largest
circulation, have been deceived by
the comb honey Misrepresentation
and have unwittingly aided in its
further dissemination.
Almost for the last twenty years
there has been a standing offer of
$1,000 made by a reputable firm for
just one pound of the so-called man
ufactured honey. But if there is
any such article in existence, strange
to say no one has yet proven his
claim to the reward offered. The
fact is that comb honey has never
been made except by bees, as other
wise it is mechanical impossibility.
1t is true that the liquid honey
honey taken from the original honey
comb. by centrifugal force-is some
times adulterated with glucose and
offered as the pure article, but the
various state food laws are fast get
ting after such adulteration, and
either compelling its true labelling
or driving It off the open market.
At least since the passage and en-
forcement of such laws in the var
ious states. adulterated honey is
disappearing from the field of food
products
To sum UP, then, any comb honey
found on the market in small wood
frames. can be relied upon as being
absolutely pure bees honey. OF
course, the favor may not always be
the same, as each nectar-yielding
variety OF flower produces honey OF
its own peculiar aroma, just as the
pure maple syrup or sugar tastes
of the maple and not of the beech
or oak.
It may be said, further, that the
prospects for a generous crop Of
honey this season seems to be excel
lent So. in all probability. there
will be plenty Of this most health
full sweet for every inhabitant of the
land. and each should see to It that
he gets his share.-Chicago Daily

What is said to be one of the
finest trees ever felled in the world
was cut week or two ago on the
north bank of the Columbia near
Astoria. The tree was as large as
fourteen ordinary trees, as far as
its lumber producing qualities were
concerned. At the but end the log
measured 102 inches in diameter,
while at the small end it measured
60 inches. 1t was cut into five saw
logs, and the logs made up a train
load. 1t contained 10000 feet and
its product will be worth something
more than $1,000.

STRUCK TWICE WITH AXE
WALTER sToDDARD ATTACKED
BY PATIENT AT RETREAT.
Was Sitting on Log at Upper End OF
Meadow When Harry Burt Ap-
preached from Behind and Cut His
Head open-Wounds Not Fatal.

A patient at the Brattleboro Retreat
suddenly developed an attack OF hoho'
cidal mania Monday afternoon, and as
n result Walter Stoddard, an attendant,
is at the infrmary in serious condi-
tion after escape from death such as
seldom comes to man. Stoddard was
overseeing the work of six patients
chopping wood on the island at the
upper end of the Retreat meadow. lie
was seated carelessly on log and did
not see one Of the TRUSTEES, Harry Burt
by name, approaching him from behind
with an uplifted axe. When Burt
came near enough he struck Stoddard
twice on the back of the head, infiieting
two deep cuts in the shape Of an 4.
Stoddard got up and started to stagger
toward the Retreat buildings with blood
streaming from his wounds, but after
travelling about so yards fell uncon,
scious. A patient known as Dr.
Allen ran to the Retreat farm and noti-
fed Fred Spaulding, and he immedi'
atelv went to the assistance of Stod-
dard, finding him unconscious from loss
of blood and his injuries. With the
assistance of the other patients Spauld.
ing carried Stoddard to the farm and
then took him in team to the main
building of the Retreat. The injured
man was so weak from loss of blood
that at first his life was despaired of.
He is gaining, however, and will prob
ably recover. Neither cut penetrated
the skull, although it was laid bare for
several inches.
Burt made no attempt to conceal his
crime or TO escape. He was placed in
confinement as soon as the Retreat was
reached, and when he was questioned as
to why he did il answered that he sud
denly felt that he must. He has been
at the Retreat several years and was
regarded as one of the trustiest pa
tients. He will probably never be al
lowed his liberty again, as one outbreak
is liable to be followed by another.
Stoddard is 20 years old and comes
from Westmoreland, n. H. At the time
of the attack he wore a thick cap,
which doubtless saved his life, as the
cap was cut through by both blows Of
the axe.
Another patient, Joseph Goucheau,
who was among the wood choppers, be-
came alarmed and made his escape In
the excitement which followed the as
sault. His absence was unnoticed until
the time for locking up at night. lie
returned early Tuesday morning, thor
oughly chilled from having stayed out
all night on the river bank in his shirt
sleeves. As the reason for his flight he
said that he was afraid that he himself
would be attacked
