s'Back to the land" is cry much
heard these days. and it is we'll to act
upon it that the contested condition
of the cities with it's attendant evils
of poverty. misery and crime may be
relieved. But many men of slender
means who buy small farms in the
expectation of making living and
enjoying life are bitterly disappoint-
ed. The trouble is they have had nc
experience. and scarcely any business
today needs q practical working
knowledge to insure success more
than farming. II people Of small
means want to succeed and realize
the advantages Of country life. they
should find work for q time with
some progressive, successful farmer.

Geo. Meyers Pear Trees
Net Him $11.OO Each

Geo. W. Meyer. OF Orcas, the most
successful orchardist In the county.
was In town few hours Wednesday
enroute to Bellingham on business
trip. he shipped two carloads of
Burre d'Anjou pears to New York
City this fall and las already received
his returns from the first carload.
which consisted Of 632 boxes. They
sold in New York for S1940.76, or
ut an average of 50. OF box. After
deductiDR the freight and commission
charges Mr.. Meyer received 1922. 2.O3,
or little over $500 per box net.
Last year he received 81. 60 a box on
the dock at Orcas for something over
700 boxes, which we're also shipped
to New York. He has 200 trees Of
the Burre d'Anjou variety which
yielded HOO boxes of fine pears this
season. or an average of flve and q
half boxes to the tree. With proper
care pears Of this variety will keep
until Christmas or later, without
being placed In sold storage. Mr..
Meyer has grown some pears which
will keep considerably later and
yield much more abundantly, but
the quality is DOT nearly as good.
He received returns this week from q
small shipment of Burre d'Anjou
pears which be made to Seattle last
week and which sold for 81. 90 box.
Although Mr.. Meyer is himself q
very successful orchardist and never
has any difficulty in marketing his
fruit and realizing good prices. he
says he would not advise anyone to
engage in fruit raising as business
who has not had considerable expert
ence in the work and knows how to
combat insect pests and arapple sue
with the numerous other
vexatious drawbacks with which hor-
have to contend. He
can and does. he says. raise pears Of
much better quality on bis place than
are produced on the irrigated lands
east Of the mountains. and yet the
irrigated orchard lands sell readily at
very much higher prices per acre than
be could get for his choice place If
be were to put 1t on the market.

Justice Hands Hans
Hansen the Limit

Hans and Austin Hansen, Of Deer
Harbor. were arrested Sunday on q
complaint charging them with resist
ing an officer in the discharge of his
duty. They we're brought here and
lodged in Jail that night and tried
before Justice Nash Monday. Hans.
the elder. was fined 800 and COSTS
the limit of a Justices authority in
such case. Austin. though by no
means blameless. was discharged, al
the evidence did not show that he
offered any resistance or made any
trouble after his arrest. The two
men attended a turkey shoot at Deer
Harbor Saturday afterr oon and after
that came to Friday Harbor and
imbibed enough booze to make the m

with the assistance of Vincent Nc
Crary and one or two others whose
regard for decency prompted them to
take hand in the scrap. Hans
Hansen was arrested only q few
months ago for similar rowdyism and
after serving a few days in Jail was
released under suspended sentence.
Justice Nash very properly gave him
the limit this time and to keep
him from waxing fat and indolent at
the expense of the county without any
return he has been set to work on the
roads.

Late Estimates on

sition that would stagger Rocke
feller.
"With a perfectly straight face MIR.
Merrill has said that the population
of Washington in June. 1908. was
GAG. 799. So far as he went be was
all right but the declaration that the
population increased only 1873, ,696
between 1900 and 1908 is absurd on
the face of it as Seattle alone has in
creased great deal more than that.
to say nothing of the large increase
in other cities and in the rural dis.
| tricts.
''The vote cast in the Presidential
election just held aggregated about
ITO, 600. which is gain of about
63. 600 in comparison with the vote
cast in the Presidential election in
1900.
"In the old centers of population
the ratio of voters to population
ranges about to l. Accepting the
to l for Washington the increase in
/ population would total $4,000.
This with the number of newcomers
in the last year who have not acquired
residence or did so too late for them
to conveniently register would carry
the population over 1.O0G, 600.
cit has been demonstrated that
Seattle alone has acquired I14.772
new residents in the last two years by
immigration over the railroads as the
number given represents the difference
between the arrivals and departures at
King street station. No account is
taken in these figures OF births. the
arrivals by water routes. nor of the
accessions of other cities and rural
communities in the state, 80 that to
say the state g population has doubled
since 1900. when it was SIS. 8.103, is
stating the case conservatively.
"Several factors enter into the
question in Washington and other
new states which are peculiar to
them. One is the smaller number of
qualified men who exercise the priv
ilege of voting. In Washington in
1900 according to the Federal census
the males of voting age in Washington
numbered 1877. 572, while the vote
cast was only 1O7. .524. or a little
more than half of the number author
ICED. In the older communities the
right of suffrage is exercised more
generally.
''The state Bureau of Statistics of
Washington working out it's totals
from school census reports made
officially gives the population of the
state as 1.15S. .998 for 1907 and
allowing for the extreme conservatism
! IN the figures on basis of the vote
cast, as already given. the state g
figures would not seem to be far from
the correct estimate"

A Question Of Areas

Commenting upon . recent article
in the Post -Intellingencer relative to
a farm sale In this county the Bell
inRam Reveille says:
ssThe P.-I. falls into q common
error when it classes Orcas isalnd a.
the second in size Of those composing
the San Juan group. It contains
flfty seven square miles and 10 I've
miles larger than San Juan which il
next in size and contains flfty-two
square miles. At any rate the San
Juan Islander uses those figures and
il Mr.. Culver is not accurately
informed az to everything pertaining
to the islands his many years OF resi-
dencs over there have been In vain. "
Major Patton. the Reveiile's
versatile and genial editor, who IL .
fine booster for this county, makes .
slight mistake in quoting the Island-
er,s figures. Orcas II the larger
island but only three instead Of i've
square miles larger. Unless the writer
has made some mistake In his comDu-
tation the area Of Orcas island 10 81. z

Life on the Farm

president Roosevelt has started q
good deal of talk over the subject of
making farm life more attractive. -
says the Spokesmsn-Review. cit is
of inestimable value to the farmer
and the farmers family that this
kind of talk should be prevalent.
Out of this talk will come many
things of real value. While this
talk IS in progress. what are you as a
farmer planning for the winter even

could do to add to the cheer of home
life, during the shorter days Of the

ject.

hospitality in the year, or is Christ
mas the only time Of good cheer? A

Hon. VIM. Shultz and his business
associate, Mr.. Purcell. were here
Tuesday looking over the P. A. F..
cannery property. upon which they
hold lease option. The question
of concluding lease and operating
the plant depends upon whether they
can obtain assurance of an adequate
water supply. When the plant was
operated by the Island Packing Com
pany and later by the p. A. F. it was
necessary to bring the greater part of
the fresh water used from Newhall
(now Rosario) or Thatcher. A partial
supply was secured from q spring on
the Joubert place of which 15-year
lease was cbtaine3 fourteen years ago.
There are now other sources of supply
but 1t is yet to be determined whether
arrangements can be made to enable
Mr. Shultz and his associates to use
them. The operation of the cannery
would be very great help to the
town and it is earnestly hoped that
everyone who can in any manner aid
the project will gladly do 80.
