at Sumas. At the former point thou
sands of pounds Of butter crossed over
from Canada during one week in the
early part of March, paying hundreds
of dollars in duty into the treasury
of the United States.
This butter came half way around
the world-from Australia and New
Zealand. Over there butter is made in
large quantities and it is shipped to
all the best markets in both the United
States and the British Isles in cold
storage, reaching it's destination in fine
shape and proving very acceptable in
every way. AS has been intimated
above, the cause Of the necessity of
shipping foreign butter into the United
States at Blaine is a lack of produc-
ton in our own state. Butter handlers
are unable to secure enough butter in
our rural communities to store up
reserve supply, and when a shortage
does occur they have to send outside
for a supply. We can take care of
more good cows the feed and roughage
are here, likewise the land for the man
who wants to go into the dairy bust
ness. But we simply have not the men
to take hold Of the land, put in the
grain and grass and care for the COWS.
The cities are drawing such a large
number of people, attracted there by
plenty of work and good wages, that
the country districts do not keep pace
with increase of population in the for
mer and therefore do not produce the
staples called for-at least not in suffi-
cient quantities. To remedy this we
must have an increased production all
along the line-and we will have it.

work the papers are doing for their
respective towns may be found in the
following clipping from the Wallula
Gateway:
Get interested in your town and
stand by it. If a rich man starts
project encourage him; if a poor man,
help him. If you have means, invest
in something that will give employment
to people. Do not be afraid to stick
your hand in your pocket. Do not
kick on every proposed improvement
simply because it is not at your own
door. Do all you can to beautify your
town and your property. Be friendly
to everyone and courteous to strangers,
and never forget that you are part Of
the town and that your own department
does it's share in giving co the town its
character. Stand by all enterprising
citizens, and be ready to do something
yourself and don't grumble or spend
your time in prophesying failures"
The foregoing paragraph is quoted
because it can be made to apply to
the farming community just as much
as to the town or city. Each farmer
should feel it his bounden duty to
boost the community in which he lives,
for 1t is by so doing that he is able
to make the returns for himself greater.
There should be more cooperation and
working together toward the same end
among the farmers. When the resi-
dents of the rural communities realize
this they will find themselves making
greater progress and filling their pock-
etbooks with more money than when
they work so much individually.

THE SHORTAGE OF BUTTER.

In the state Of Washington the pop
ulation is increasing faster than the
productions Of the staples Of life are
increasing Particularly is this true
Of butter, eggs, poultry and some Of
the common products Of the farm. In
consequence the prices for these staples
are high, yet this fact is evidently not
sufficient incentive for the producer to
increase his capacity to meet the larger
demand. We will take the butter ques-
ton as an instance. Puget Sound is a
natural dairy country In fact the en-
tire region in Washington and Oregon
west of the mountains is particularly
we'll adapted for the production Of but
ter Still Puget Sound does not re-
ceive a quantity of butter from her
numerous dairies and creameries to
meet the demand. This can be no more
clearly shown than by the records at
the custom house at Blaine and also

A truism is expressed by the Pa1ouse
Republic in the following few words
regarding the farmer in it's section:
"The Palouse farmer, who few years
ago thought of nothing but his wheat
crop, studying the different varieties
and trying fall and spring sowing, is
now devoting a part of his time to
investigating other staple crops and to
breeding good stock, all of which makes
more certain the continued prosperity
of the Palouse country Almost all
kinds Of stock are selling at profitable
prices Well bred horses are especi-
ally profitable, bringing fabulous prices.
Wheat, in former years, made the Pa
louise farmer rich, but at the present
time diversified farming insures the
greatest and surest profit"
Lands in the far-famed Wenatchee
valley certainly are worth a good deal
more than in most other sections In
the state. Only few days ago a man
bought ten acres in the valley and paid
$4,000 per acre for them and on tor
of this he added the remark that he Is
positive these lands will pay him 20
per cent on the investment per year.
J. A Shotwel1, who has been making
an extended tour in California, lasting
several months, is back in Wenatchee,
and the other day made the statement
that if land in California is worth
$1,000 per acre, land in Wenatchee val
ley is worth $4,000 per acre. Com
menting on the relative prices of
land, Mr.. Shotwell added: Oranges in
the orchards Of California sell for from
25 cents to rs cents per box. Our ap-
pies are worth from rs cents to rs
cents per box, but we take off three
times as many apples from the acre
here as they do of oranges in Cali

Many Seriously Injured in Cavalry

MaBeuvers.

London, Sept S--The intensely realistic
cavalry charge during Thursdays ma
neuvers on the Berkshire Downs has I'M

Private LEXIS, OF the Twenty-hrst Ian
GERS, who sustained a fractured skull IN
the ARRAY, Gied without recovering con-
seriousness yesterday at Ramsbury, Wilt
shire. where the regiment is at present
under canvas.
The list Of injured is also longer than
was at first announced. Five Lancers
have been taken to the Cambridge Hos
pital, Aldershot. for treatment, a cor
poral-major Of the Life Guards had HIS
thigh broken. and a number of men are
suffering from bruises.
The worst case at Aldershot is that OF
Corp. AlIcoFn, Sixteenth Lancers, whose
legs were badly injured. All the men IN
the hospital are expected 70 recover, but
Ii is feared that one or two Of them may
be permanently disabled
The troopers apparently became abso-
lute!y mad with the lust Of battle during
the excitement of the melee.
IT was the most thrilling incident Of
m life" said Private Williams, OF the
Fifth Lancers, who is lying in the hos
pital at Aidershot with an injured back

began.
Realizing that they ran the risk OF
being caught between the hammer and

spurs 20 their horses and galloped furi-
ously away. They escaped without being
upset. but some Of them were hustled BIZ

An exceedingly spOrtsmanlike view OF
the affair is adopted by the men While
deep regret is felt by al for the death
OF the young lancer, they have taken
their bruises and more serious injuries in

of ill-feeling between the two brigades
