Here is a choice bon mot TIVE uoh
know what that means) from the sun
day Herald ~.
at is evident at this time tha'
Frank w. Bixby, the Lynden attorney
rancher will he Mr.. Llvesey only
opponent. Mr.. BiXby has purchased
new automobile, has some large pia'
cards printed showing his face III
smiling pose, and is rushing about tilS
county telling the farmers now last III
can run in his auto, of the enormous
crops he is going to have on MS o-o-
acre farm in the rich valley near l-yh
den, and of his urgent necessity ioi
obtaining a public position so tha'
the dear taxpayers will have to FUR
nish him a regular income. MI. biz
by says that he is going To win.
Tha5 comes pretty near telling the
truth. Bixby isn't Livesey's only OPP
Uonent perhaps but Llvesey Is the ON!
opponent to DlXby that We have hearo
of except the Herald. 1t is true
Bixby has smiling photos of himself
distributed about the county. he
couldn't get any other kind OF photos
of himself. 1t is true he mas an auto
and that it has the same distressing
habit other autoes have OF fushllls'
If wasn't built for funeral corteSe.
II is true he has $40 acres of lana neal
Linden ard if he did his best at It he
couldn't raise anything but big crop"
ON that kind of land, If he raised any
at all.
We rather think TIE Herald was
balled up about the urgent necessity
fer an income So far as we can
learn he isn't hard up for pocket
change. He has got the fool idea thi
the couny isn't running any charity
bureau and that man who dldn ac-
tually need the office was as much
entltled to 1t as anybody else II ne
N.as capable, and cussed ii we don
believe he is right.
We are still waiting to hear from
you, Mr. r osevelt.
TheLe IS no other part OF the great
sfste OF Washington that can sur
pass this in its hay and DAT crops.
There are few If any that can equdi

was reading a few evenings ago
A
prospectus Tor an irrigated iahu
district east of the mountains, which
told of inc w. nCeTiul iruit that could
be grown there. 1t was all true. we
are not disputing it. But does the
world know at large that this county
holds several state and world fair med-
ais for the best apples? Fruit grow
ing is neglected here. In the irriagted

the land owners must give 1t attention
Here the Tribune is sorry TO say
the average land owner figures thai
he has done all he should when he sel'
out the trees. Even SO IN apples
pruncs, plums and cherries we are mo-
surpassed anywhere. From 2Oo to LUZ
hounds CT the best cherries IN th'
world is not an unusual crop Tor ON
tree and cherries sell at five cents
pound usually. The Royal AIMS ah'
the Bling ore the varieties most grown
The first named are not good shipper
though one of the finest Favored ah'
most beautiful cherries in the Worlu
The latter il packed with any carr
might be shipped to Chicago withou
any damage. Here is an industry ina
should be cultivated in Whateom couh
tv-the fruit industry. 1t is one ina
in the lorg run will pay better AM
with less work than our rlch GAR,
industry.
This country Of the Nooksack val

most b ,.unteful crops of hay that ma

What Col. Roc scyelt dl1 or did nc
say to PoindeXter does not make
much difference as to what he Is real
going to do in the coming campaign
The Tribune isn't strong admirer {
the man PoindeXter. We do like tn
principles he pretends to stand 10
but We had as son trust any OF tn
West Side candidates top ut those pr
oiples into effect, as PoindeXter, anl
while he was putting them into effet
we would at the same time have II

on the West Side it is good polite
for a candidate for the senate to shu

But, 10 return to our original subje'
why don't Roosevelt tell us where

politicians, hesitate to do that?
