FARmERs OPPORTUNITY.

Among OUT locals this week is the
announcement that a special train
will travel over the Popes Creek line
the latter part Of this month in the
interest Of the farmers.
The aim and purpose Of this train
is to illustrate to the farmers what
truck train has done near Philadelphia
and over the Western Maryland
railroad as transportation medium
for them. Our freight rates here
arc very high and SO high in fact
that only small profit is made
after the shipment Of various farming
products. Our farmers get little or
nothing for their garden products
and in fact there is little Of the latter
shipped from here to any Of the large
cities,
If special truck train were put
on this branch we believe it would
be Of great benefit to our farmers.
The freight rates would he lower
and there would be an opportunity
for doing truck farming on large
scale. We believe this would tend
to advance the interests Of our Coun-
ty and make conditions better and
more prosperous for our people.
We believe that this is an oppor-
tunity for the farmers, hence we
urge every one of them to turn out
and hear what the speakers have to
say on the occasion.
Their speeches will not only be
good and well worth hearing but
they will give the farmers some
practical food for serious thought
and reflection. The opportunity to
develop our farms by trucking is to
be grasped aud not lost when
there is a chance for large profits.

TACOMA Jan. 4.-The postoffice
business of Tacoma during 1900 was
10 per cent. heavier than for the year
of 1908. The aggregate volume of
business for last year was $223,139.
A freak feature of postal handling
during the closing months of the year
was a postal card fever which seemed
to run riot through all classes. There
were probably more postal cards sent
out of Tacoma during December just
passed than during any previous six

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 31--In an adj
dress at the Harvard medical school
today Prof David Starr Jordan made
strong appeal for international CO.
operation between the United states
and Canada for tse conservation of the
fisheries of the great lakes.
Conditions today, he said, were
much better than few years ago But
more co-operation between the two
countries was urgently advised by DR..
Jordan.
In former days. Dr. Jordan pointed
out, there was much complaint from
Canadians, who We're restricted by the
law on their own side of Lake Erie
from catching fish, when on the other
hand, the greatest latitude was al
lowed on the American shore. Iatterly,
however. the tables have been turned.
FISHERIES have been constructed III
many places along tho American shore
on the lake and now the americans
may complain because not enough fish
are hatched on the other side.'
