Another BeIIingham
Steamer Proposition

Bellingham papers state that the
Kitsar transportation Co.'S. steamer
Burton may be placed on the run be-
tween Bellingham and island points
about MAY 1, making a round trip
daily. leaving here early in the morn
ing. There seems to be big "if'
In the matter. In the course OF a
half column article Oh the subject
the Herald says:
"The merchants of the island
points do not take kindly to this
movement on the ground that they
will lose by having island people
come 70 Bellingham. By some of
the far seeing residents, who are not
interested in the mercantile affairs of
the islands. it is stated that a better
steamboat service would eventually
mean the Development of the extern

Winesap Apple has
Topped Profit Record

The Northwest Horticulturalist
says that
s'From a single acre of 12-year-old
Winesap apple trees Mr.. o. g.
France, Wenatchee, Washington, sold
in 1909 apples for which he was paid
$3.924. So Tar as We know this sur
passes the record of any single acre OF
fruit on the coast or anywhere else.
The Winesap certainly stands at the
head of the list as revenue producer
in the apple sections of the coast.
The question has been asked why 1T
should not stand at the head in quail
ity. The reply is that it lacks just
trifle in flavor compared to the nutty
flavor of the Spitzenbere. but being q
better producer uutranks that as q
profit maker.
'sIhe reader can imagine that every
tree on that acre of Winesaps was
properly trained and sprayed and tha
fruit carefully thinned so that each
limb would bear only sufficient num-
Der of apples to attain proper size and
that the moisture was just right while
the fruit was making it's growth.
The grower evidently tooksome pains
but it was worth while.

Immense Fruit
Crop is Expected

Prospects for bumper crop
throughout the state have seldom
been brighter. according to state In
spectors. While some fear the cher
ry crop will be damaged by late
frosts, Warren q. Pendleton. horti-
cultural commissioner in the Seattle
district, states that in his opinion
the danger is not acute. Mr.. Pendle-
ton states that the season is we'll ad-
vanc,d and that it ia time for the
trees to begin to bud.
"Tbe ordinary white frosts will
not hurt the fruit and at this time of
the year hard black frosts, the kind
that do the DAMAGE, are unusual, :"
said Mr.. Pendleton. cat this sea-
sen foRs are usually heavy and with
80 much moisture in the air the buds
will not be damaged.
prospects for large fruit crop
are excellent on this side of the
mountains. Conditions have favored
the growing trees.
Reports from eastern Washington
are equally fattering. eff frosts
should kill three -fourths of the buds
now on the trees the orchardists OF
the Walla Walla valley would have
such crop of all kinds of fruit this
year that they would be- unable to
market the CROP" @. L. Whitney.
an east side fruit inspector, is recent
ly quoted as saying. Mr.. Whitney
stated that a frost should be wel.om
ed by the fruit growers in that 1t
would thin the fruit and save the or
chardists hundreds of dollars ex-
pense.

Members Of Local Commercial Organization
Show Decided Lack of Interest in Work

Officers of the Friday Harbor Com.
mercial club have called the attention
OF the Islander to the lack of interes,
being shown in that organization and
the disposition on the part of mos,
OF its members to stay away from the
meetings. An organization of this
kind by carrying on an active cam
paiRn can do much good and be OF
inestimable benefit to the town and
county. If, on the contrary it il
to exist in name ouly it may as we'll
disband. Since the first two or three
meetings it has been hard oven to get
a quorum present a5 the meetings
end the officers are getting tired of
it and will themselves give up the
good work unless it's members show
more interest and a Willingness to
share portion at least of the work
Of the club. Important matters are
now under consideration and these
require the united efforts OF all the
members if any good is to result.
Any move that benefits the town is
shared by all alike and it is to be
hoped that each and every member
may be brought to realize this fact
and put his shoulder to the wheel AMI
do all in his power to accomplish
good. The water proposition, the
most important that could possibly
be considered, is lying dormant for
no ether reason than that an indiffer-
ent spirit is shown An Islander
representative asked one of the off
GERS of the club where the matter
stood and he replied that he did not
know and did not care much unless
the members would attend the meet
iugs and show some interest in the
work

The Lafean Bill
An Unjust Proposition

TIE West Coast Trade in it's issu
of March II, makes the following
very appropriate comment upon th,
unjust and Unfair measures of th,
much discussed Lafean bill:
cit appears to be the East arrayec
against the West in the consideration
of the Lafean bill, attempting to reg
ulate the size of apple boxes and es.
tablishing standard grades for that
fruit. and the West will te victorious
if the element of Justice dominates in
the handling of the measure.
"The West has popularized the box
as against the barrel for the packing
aud MARKETING of apples, and it is
eminently unfair that the East should
now step in and attempt to dictate
the standard size of these boxes, FIX
ing upon a package which would not
be adapted to the fruit grown in the
Pacific Northwest, because of it's uni
formiIy larger size than the apples
grown in New York and other Eastern
states. Neither would it be just to
establish standard grades for apples,
making grade A 2h inches in dia-
meter, when such standard as ap
piled to Western apples would be 3
inches in diameter. and compelling
the growers producing larger and
more attractive product to market IL
upon the same basis as the inferior
apple.
elf Eastern growers fear Western
competition. they must meet it by
improving their methods and prod
ucts. 1t is not the province of the
government to create conditions
which would discriminate against su-
periority. and that is the apparent
object aimed at in the Lafean apple
box bill.''

mercIal organization is q business
proposition and we are at loss to
understand why it's members should
show lack of interest in this anv
more than in the conduct OF the pri-
vate interests of each member, Few
business men. in fact none who are
successful, will for minute neglect
their private interests. so why should
they neglect the public interest 90
long as it indirectly affects the inter.
ests of all? By bringing water to the
town we are taking care of our manu-.
featuring industries that have always
suffered for lack of it, and at the
same time put ourselves in position
to invite new enterprises to locate
here. One Of the first questions a
manufacturer who is seeking loca.
tion asks, is. how about your water
supply? II the answer is we have
none, right there the matter drops:
cut on the contrary if the supply is
ample and other considerations are
favorable our Chances are as good as
others to secure business. We know
of one industry at least that is Sleep
ing for no other resaon than TO find
out what is to be done, and who
knows but there are others.
While this ls the most important
matter before the club it is by no
means the only one. There is little
or no excuse for there not being q
good attendance at each and every
meeting and we hope that in future
there will be more interest SHOWN.
Make it boosters club in every sense
that the word implies and let the i'm
preston 20 abroad that Friday Har-
Dor is the place where they do things.
Do not let every other community
Guido us as they are sure to do if we
remain "asleep at our post.

that the vegeterians of Europe-bulky
peasants from Northern countries
die like flies when they come to New

bulky peasants, NorweRians and
Swedes, for instance bring their veg
eterian habits OF life with them to
New York, Chicago or London, their
lungs melt away like ice cream in
hungry boys. These big. fine Swedes
were protected at home by isolation,

Just share toward the sum total of

Washington Free
From Sheep Scab

A Washington dispatch under date
of March 19 says: As a result of the
efforts Of federal and state authorities
to eradicate the disease known as
sheep scab, an order has been issued
by the secretary of agriculture, effect
i've March Is. releasing from quaran-
tine the entire state of Washinton
and large portions of Oregon. Neva-
da, Utah. Colorado and Arizona.
The release of so large an area at this
time indicates the good progress made
during the past year in the work of
stamping out this disease, which is a
great handicap to the sheep industry.
When the bureau of animal indus
try began systematic work more than
ten years ago for the eradication of
sheep scsb this disease prevailed over
large areas in the west and Was rapid
ly spreading. Gradually the intec-
tlon has been stamped out and the
areas reduced until the territory now
remaining under quarantine consists
only of the states of Kentucky. Texas
and California, the territory of New
Mexico. the southern portion of Col.
orado, two counties In Arizona, the
northern parts of Utah and Nevada,
and the western portion of Oregon.
The good results have been accom-
plished with the cooperation of stste
and local officials and the support of
progressive stockmen. 1t is believed
that with a continuation of active
work by all concerned the disease
may be completely eradicated from
the West within very few years.
