The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1911-04-14

United States of America may not
be permanently backward in COM
parison with European countries in
the march toward the goal of indus
trial democracy. Germany has been
far more wise and foresighted in
caring for it's workingmen. in pro-
viding workingmen's insurance
against unemployment, old age,
accidents, disease, death, than have
we. Belgium and France have, with
high craftsmanship, taken the lead
in a number of more important
undertakings of a constructive pro-
gram Of social reform. Denmark
has within a generation dealt upon
so large and ordered a scale with
the problem of cooperative farming
that it has achieved veritable mir
acles of plenty and prosperity for it's
husbandry. We are sixty years and
more behind England in the matter
of factory legislation. Before 1850,
laws were enacted in England touch
ing child labor which are more mcr-
ciful than are the statutes of some
states in the Union. Alas that we
lag behind! We do not march
abreast of European nations, even
Of those nations which nominally are
monarcnic and imperial in character
but actually far more democratic
than are we.'

Highway From Ocean to Ocean

To the editor of the Islander, who
sixty years ago took his first ride in
railway cars having to buy five tick
cts and change cars and get his
baggage checked five times, over five
separate lines. of road, to get dis
lance of one hundred and fifty miles
through the heart of New England,
the following article when consider
ed without regard to the intervening
steps of progress, seems as wonder
full as the story Of Aladdin and his
lamp which the boy read as he rode
that is he read some and worried a
good deal about his tickets and his
trunk The day Of wonders is not
yet past and this same grown up boy
would not be surprised to be given
an automobile ride over the proposed
grand highway from ocean to ocean
to his old New England home before
his days are done. An eastern
journal commenting on this great
project says:
1T is expected that during the
coming summer work will be begun
on the new highway between New
York and Washington. 1t will have
a width of l44 feet and no grade
crossings for cars and trolleys.
The company which is to build the
road is about to be Incorporated in
Delaware. with capital amounting
to $25, 100000, distributed among
about 1000 stockholders, IF whom
forty are prominent capitalists. It
is hoped that this enterprise will be
only the beginning of a large high
way system comprising $4,000 miles,
throughout the country, with feeders
connecting main trunk roads with
the capital cities of all the states.
AS part of this system highway
from Chicago to Milwaukee has been
undertaken, bids for its construction
having recently been asked for.
The road from New York to
Washington will have six road ways
the outer ones on either side being
public. Others will be for automo-
biles and trolleys. each road being
accessible to traffic going in one
direction only. The four inner sec
lions being for automobiles and
trolleys, will be fenced in and toll
will be charged. 1t is estimated
that this line will cost between 500
600 and 100000 per mile and that
the entire $4,000 mile system could
be constructed at an average cost of
100000 per mile"

The Toll of the Forests

The total amount of standing tim
Der in the United States is $780,
600, 100000 board feet. The pres
ent annual drain upon the supply of
saw timber is fifty billion feet.
On" half Of the privately owned
timber in California. Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho and Montana is now
owned by thirty-seven holders. This
timber is being largely held for the
future, when these owners will be
the dominating influence in the in
dustry!
We are beginning to realize moro
fully the the value of our forest re-
sources. Public sentiment has been
created against the spoliation or the
obstruction OF the vast timber tracts
by fire. Detailed field examinations
made by National Forest officers
show that during the forest fires of
last summer in Oregon ana Wash
ington, there was a loss to the
National Forest timber Of over seven
hundred million feet. This is equal
to the amount cut by all of the
Portland saw mills last year, which
proudced revenue Of thirty million
dollars. In the Colville Reserve
alone 10000 acres were burned last
year. The fire, however, in the Col
vile Reserve was mostly surface
fire and consequently was less de-
structive than one that travels
through the crowns of the trees.

Wheat growers Of % counties of
the Pacific Northwest, 9 in Wash
ington, 6 in Idaho and 13 in Oregon,
members of the Farmers Union
have secured lease on Columbia
Dock at Portland for the season and
propose to handle their crop from
the wheat fields to the ships taking
it to foreign markets. The growers
will incorporate a transportation
company and will try to make a pro-
fit in buying and selling wheat for
export as we'll as in handling their
own grain.
Former President Roosevelt made

great surprise at the tremendous
growth shown on this coast in the
last eight years.

A splendid audience assembled
last Sunday morning at the Chris
tian church to attend the Memoir
ial services. The music for the
occasion was appropriate and
good, each selection being rem
dered in most pleasing and in
spring manner. Rev. Stout of
the Christian church delivered a
very able address in his usual Wig
orous and earnest style. The large
audience seemed extremely well
pleased with the services through.

were present in large numbers. II
was apparent to all that the army
OF fifty years ago is being rapidly
depleted. and that in a very few
years there will be but few of the
old veterans left to strew the
graves of the departed with the
flowers of spring.

We believe it is an opportune
time for the consideration of a
change in the further development
of our valley. We do not want
any one who may read this article
to think tor minute that we are
pessimistic concerning the future
of this district, for we are optimis-
tic in the fullest measure. AS all
know. horticulture has been. and
now is, the one almost exclusive
industry in these parts; and we
believe that at the c ose OF the
season it will be demonstrated
that the North Fork has been the
favored fruit Sc -tion of the west.
Though. Notwithstanding some
men have lost quite heavily on &C
count of the late frosts. a large
majority have promise at this
time of bumper crop. and the
Paonia, Hotchkiss. Cedaredge and
Crawford districts will ship the
largest crop of fruit in their his
tory. We believe though by more
diversity of crops a much better
condition of things could and
would be the result. Instead OF
having all the land planted to
trees, some portion of each ranch
could be planted to other crops
which in the event OF the fruit be
ing injured would afford some
thing for the support = the family

things which might be grown in
great abundance. Every rancher
could select for himself something
that would yield good returns. We
have here many natural advan
tages, in cheap fuel. good soil.
healthful climate, purest water
and pleasing surroundings, and we
believe by the advantageous use
OF these that we can have here
one of the most beautiful n.
prosperous communities to be
found anywhere. We also believe
that by learning from our past ex
perIences, Il at the judicious use
of orchard heaters, loss even to
our fruit crop can be reduced to
the minimum. We believe too
that large crop of fruit grown
every year would not be as profit.
able in the long run as a diversity
of crops.
1t is not true, as some think.
that our land is too valuable to
grow other than fruit crops. We
believe to the contrary that by d.
versifying. such a state prosperity

Chicago. Nov. 22.-Traders are bad
ly disappointed in the condition OF
business in young cattle thus far this
week Fresh arrivals from the country
are not meeting much favor, at the
hands Of yard dealers who still have an
ample stale stock at hand which has
met with a slew-gotng outlet at re-
duced prices noted last week.
A badly congested condition Of the
little light stocker and ordinary feeder
market is evident. Eastern buyers who
ordinarily do big business in such
cattle at this time Of year are letting
the trade severely alone. the price OF
both hay and grain In the east being
high enough TO induce free selling on
both rather than taking any chances on
converting these good money crops this
year into beef. For the good to choice
weighty feeders there is still fair call
from corn belt regions, and something
of an extra class IN that line will sell
up around $3.50, but few feeders find
their way to a better market than $3.50
the bulk Of the selected good weight
feeders selling at s5.10@5.50.
