Scenic Roads

Pierce and Yakima counties pro-
pose building a scenic road from Ia
coma over across the Cascade noun
tains. Pierce county plans to push
it's road to the top of Mount Rainier
this summer. Yakima county ex-
poets that the legislature will next
year appropriate funds for the 30
mile stretch which is included in its
plans for state aided roads and that
this central section will be complet-
ed two years hence. It goes with
out saying that such road will add
much to the many attractions OF
this delightful Puget Sound country.
About year ago somebody had
visions Of an automobile road over
the mountains of Orcas island and
somebody still thinks the enchanting
dreams will sometime materlallze
giving San Juan county q tre--
mendous uplift.

fruit Marketing Problems

In the 1910 Year Book we find G.
Harold Powell saying of the future
of the fruit business that CAS-
long as the country is prosperous
and the present method of distribu-
tion and sale does not cause a dis
astrous oversupply in the principal
market, the growers will be satisfied
to continue the methods now in
operation. But as the fruit business
increases it will be necessary for
the growers associations to develop
mehods for increasing consumption.
This will be accomplished:
By more general distribution of
their products.
By the development of their asso-
Citations into marketing organiza-
tions.
By equalizing the distribution of
the fruit over a longer period
through a greater use of cold storage
warehouses.
By stimulating a greater interest
in fruit consumption through sys-
tematic advertising, and
By placing the fruit in the con-
sumers' hands at cost nearer that
which the producer himself receives.
AS the American fruit business
increases the grower may be expect
ed to bring about as great an i'm
provement in the methods Of distri-
buting and selling his product
through the consumer as he has
already accomplished in the hand
ling grading, packing and prepara-
tion of the fruit for market. =
Take notice that Mr.. Powell's ad-
vice is addressed to growers asso-
Citations" instead of to individual
growers. We mention that point
because it emphasizes what we have
often stated, namely, that the grower
who depends upon himself alone to
market his product has lost his grip.
He must make his reputation as q
lgrower in his association but he
must depend upon the association s
Reputation for good price. "

Producers Company Organized

With fifty bona fide and prospec-
tive stockholders, the recently in
corporated Producers Company"
has completed its organization. It
is capitalized at $4,000 and is or
ganized under the auspices of the
Grange associations of Whatcom
county. It is the intention to
establish store and warehouse at
Bellingham and engage in the mer-
camille business there. It is pro-
posed to specialize at first in butter,
eggs and poultry and later to branch
out into general merchandise bus
mess. Though it is said to be or
ganized under the auspices Of the
oranges of Skagit and San Juan
counties, also no representatives from
either of these counties are to be
found among the officers, directors
or committees. If the new Pro-
ducers' Company can find market
in Bellingham where the returns
are more satisfactory than they have
been, they will have accomplished
a great deal.

The EDITORS Work

The country newspaper editor S
chair cushion isn't usually stuffed
with rose leaves. He is expected
to know everything about everybody
and to write or suppress just what
each individual wants written or
suppressed. 1t is generally suppos-
ed that newspapers print everything
they can find out that is anywhere
near fit to print, but that is a mis-
taken idea. The average country
newspaper refrains from publishing
many things that might pass as news
because they reflect on the character
or reputation of some individual.
The man who gets angry about
what a newspaper prints of himself
should return thanks dozen times
day for wharthe newspaper knows
of him and suppresses.
The editor Of the Islander hopes
to retire from the field very soon.
He rejoices in the belief that during
his stay he has added few friends
to his list Of former days and he
would be ashamed of his work if he
had not gained some disfavor. The
consciousness of doing what he be.
lieves to be right and of treating all
persons fairly according to such
light as he is permitted to see il
the chief and most abiding reward
that the average editor gets anyway

Scenic Railway For
MI. Constitution
Olga, June %.

J. M. Akin. a well known pro-
moter of San Francisco, who was
interested in the construction of the
scenic railroad up Mt. Tamalpais,
has been here for several days. He
has been quietly gathering data for
report upon the feasibility of
building a similar road to the sum-
NIT of Mt. Constitution. It is ad-
mitted by those who have visited
both these places, as we'll as the
mountain railroads of Mt. Washing
ton. in New Hampshire, Piletus and
others in Switzerland. and Pixies
Peak, in Colorado, that the scenic
splendor of Constitution far exceeds
any and all other mountain views.

GirdIing Fruit Trees

Professor w. S. Thornber, of the
Washington State College says: III
would be impossible to compel ar
old apple tree or neglected apple
orchard to develop fruit spurs dur.
ing one season to bear fruit the next
year. The following treatment will
be of benefit however:
First. girdle the tree about the
middle of June. in this way develop
ing fruit buds and spurs for next
year.
The girdling consists of saving
a ring around the trunk of the tree
just cutting through the the bark
into the growing wood. Do not
take out any bark. bat simply COM
pletely girdle with the saw. This
is rather rigid and occasionally kills
the tree. Out of several hundred
trees handled in this way our losses
have been less than per cent. !
recommend this for filters or trees
that you want to get the most out
Of next year.
The second method is to prune
very severely about the middle OF
August the exact date Of the prun-
ing being governed entirely by the
development of the fruit bugs
Just as soon as the little branches
start to check their growth and de-
velop terminal buds go into the
trees and prune just the same as
you would early in spring, cutting
off the large limbs if necessary.
heading back regardless of fruit and
leaves on the trees. | believe that
summer pruning Of old trees must
be practiced more extensively than
+ it has been and from the results OF
our experiments will say that It
promises splendid returns.

presented to them a few days ago.,
signed by number of heads OF
families here, to take up officially
the matter of forming Union high

employ an additional teacher for
high school work during the coming
year provided that arrangements
can be made for the additional room
which will be needed. The present

Great progress has been made in
school development along these lines
in King county during the past year,
In editorial commencing what has
been done the Post -Intelligencer of
June 26 says:
New schools have been built
at Enumclaw, Renton, Auburn, Sno-
qualmie. Kent, Selleck, Duvall Nov
city, Burton, Algona, Mountain
View, Bryn Mawr, Factoria, Maple
Valley and North Fork, the aggre-
gate outlay for these new buildings
amounting to about $236.O00. The
most costly building is at Enumclaw;
it cost $1,000. Renton's new
school cost $40 900 and the building
at Auburn cost $11, 500. The cost
of the other buildings ranged down
to $4,000.
"A matter of equal Importance is
the fact that ample land areas are
being provided where la d is used
as site for a county school building
and already Superintendent A. S.
Burrows has inaugurated the wise
policy of establishing Fairgrounds
and experimental gardens, to be culr
tivated and cared for by pupils, on
the school grounds.
Experimental gardens on school
grounds ought to become and will
become valuable part Of the educa-
tion of pupils attending the county
schools. Besides. these gardens will
add much beauty to the appearance
of the school environment and any

Mosquito Fleet
Hearing July II

Owners Of small boats having no
settled routes and no fixed charges,
who have made application before
the public service commission to be
relieved of filing tariff schedules as
provided for by law, will assemble
in Olympia on July II for the pur-
pose of presenting their cases before
the commission. Citations for more
than dozen of them have been
issued by the public service. COM
mission and several owners Of big
boats operating on the Sound have
also been notified of this hearing.
It is asserted by the operators of
the big boats that it is practical for
the small boatmen to file tariff
schedule. In short. they maintain
it is possible to do away with the
hit-and-miss fashion of fixing the
rates that is now in vogue and to
reduce it to science.
The commission announces that it
regards the proposed hearing as
largely of an educational nature, in
somuch as definite information in
regard to the operation Of boats has
never been obtained, and is not now
obtainable from any source save the
owners themselves who have, in
many instances, given but little
thought to the subject.
Fifty-six owners of steamboats,
operating in all parts of. Washington
and thirty-four wharf companies
are cited as defendants in a COM
plant by the public service commits
sion relating to provisions in the
tariff schedules filed by the steam
boat men and wharf companies
by which the charge of shipping or
handling goods is ascertained by
measurement instead of by weight.
1t has been the practice of steam
boat men and wharf companies to
determine the rate to be charged
either by weight or measurement as
the steamboat company or the wharf
company saw fit. The public SER
vice commission challenged this
right and has set July II as the date
for the hearing.
In short. July II will probably be
education day in the public service
commission offices. Many of the
small boats owners have paid no at
tention to the technical side of de-
termining rates and in most in
stances the rate depends entirely
upon the whim of the owner and
they claim it is impossible for them
to fix such statement. The COM
mission, however, is anxious to de-
termine whether this is true or not
and for that reason has summoned
more than dozen Of them to appear
in Olympia on July l l, and now fifty
six other steamboat men and thirty
four wharf companies are cited to
appear and much interesting infor-
nation is expected to be brought to
light.
