ROBIN HOOD OF THE RAILS.

Mir. Hartman has blussomcd out as humorist. He states, m an inter view, that. "inasmuch as the Inter state Commerce commission K to run all the roads," he. having many years experience in the business, "may apply for n joh' on the commission. This sucering attitude toward the public the commission represents the public is characteristic, not only of Hartman, but the whole cotcric of high finance pirates, of which he Is distinguished member,
 As to Mr. Hartman 's experience and talents. there can bc no question. And. possibly. he understands railroad meth ods of today more thoroughly than anyone clsc--ccrtainly. much better than the general public has understood them. But we cannot agree with MT. Hartman that this particular cxcell' -cncc of ability qualities him for place on the Interstate Commerce coDmis sion. The difference between the com mission and Mir. Hartman, in their re- lati0n to the railroad business, is sim liar to that existing between the police man and the safe.blowcr The latter may stand at the top of his "Profcs' sion,' as does Mir. Hartman, without having in himself the makings of an ordinarily good thief. catcher. There .s a differentiation in moral attitude, which Mr. Hartman does not comprc hcnd
 Mr. Hartman methods have been strikingly portrayed in the sensational evidence given before Commissioner Lane, in los Angeles, the last few days. We now know of vcrity the things we have long suspected. Like n highwayman. who corners his victim in the dark of night, and uses n club, or n sandbag. io dcspoi him. this bucca- necr of high finance fell upon the pro mOtors of the Salt Lake railway, and wrcsted from them its control. Even the many millions of Senator Clark were unavailing before the mighty power of the Hartman bludgeon.
 Harriman's contention, that the Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific are not competitors within the mean ing of the Interstate commerce law, has not leg to stand on, when the Salt Lake is added to the Union Pa. ciiie, as dependent branch. And this is what Hartman has made of our new "compcting" transcontinental route. Hardly had the rails of the Salt Lake line been laid through Riverside before the real 'master of the Pacifc' fell upon its builders, with demand to stand and deliver.
 Hartman did not get half fintorcst in the road. He got the road. II is not an ally of the Union Pacific The southern Pacific sent men to man it's executive departments, almost before the first train was running Its rates and routing arc set and determined, | not by tho Salt Lake railroad, but by | the Union Pacific, working in harmony with the Southern Pacific.
 II Is almost work of supercroga ton to show the damage that has been done to southern California by this nefnrious and illegal arrangement. It is so clearly unlawful that the most studious efforts have been made to conceal it's existence. But enough has been proved already to establish tho case of tho government against this jaunty Robin Hood of tho Rails.

At meeting of the Whatcom Coun

urday a resolution was passed that
the farmers holding membership in
the organization would market their

was designed to have every leading

Both gIocers aud farmers see vast
advantage in making the association
the market medium for the berry crop
OF Whatcom. 1t has been the practice
among many farmers to sell their ber-
ries to the consumer direct and by
this means break down any standai
price. Other farmers and grocers

Fruit Acreage in Washington.

The report OF j.. A. Huntley, state
horticultural commissioners, for the
y,ar ending March 81, 1907, has been
filed with the governor. 1t shows the
horticultural industry of the state to
be incre9 sing at tremendous rate.
There are 86,607 acres of land devoted
to commercial orchards in the state,
and 10, 1888 acres, or nearly one-lifth
OF the total acreage, was added since
the spring of 1906.
The report contains a detailed ac.
count OF the number OF trees in the
orchards of the various counties of the
state. Yakima leads with a total of
l,669, 600 trees, Chelan Is second with
490, 600 trees, and Spokane county is
third. The commissioner found ii
impossible to gather complete data OF
the amount Of small fruit in the state.
Pierce county leads with 2013 acres
to It's credit.
Mr.. Huntley reports that Yakima
county led In fruit shipments last
year, dispatching S7l, 227 packages of
fruits. Chelan county was second
Pierce county berry shipments we're
greater than any other in the state
Snohomish county was second, Yaki.
ma third.
The work of the fruit growers assooia-
tlons is highly commended by Mr.
Huntley in this report, his investiga-
tions having shown him that greater
sdvanoements in horticulture we're
made where associations have been
formed.
The nursery traffic to and within
the state has been enormous. Baaing
his figures on nursery shipments to
the state, MI. Huntley says that the
orchard acreage has been increased 20
per cent. Washington home grown
stock has supplied about 80 per cent
OF The .state's nursery traffic. Trees
grown In Washington nurseries are
best for Washington farmers.
Canneries are necessary to every
fruit section. says Mr.. Huntley in
concluding his report. Figures quot
ed show that the North Yakima can.
neries lead in output, with the We
natchee canneries a close second.

want to sell, and they are apparently
afraid that if their land reaches a
high stage of productiveness that tax
es Will be too high. They are without
a'booter club" and are content with
getting trcm $50 to SO per acre for
their land which ought TO command
from $500 to 800 per acre.
Mr.. Castner stated that the Eisman
brothers near Grants Pass, had plant
cd % acres to orchard this ,pring;
planting principally Newtowns and
Spltzenberga. They will plant water
melons between the trees from which
they expect Il revenue of Sl25 per
acre. MI Castner was glad to gel
back to Hood Rger, and is more CON
nrmed than ever in the belief that
Hood River valley is without peer.
