Significance of the Fabrication.

Significance of the Fabrication.
Stronger evidence of the falsity and
mnliciously slanderous character OF the
alleged postscript could not be had. Its
only significance is the light it throws
on the bitterness and venom Of some of
those who take active part in every dis
cussion of Alaskan issues. The intensity
Of their desire to besmirch all who In
vest In that district and all who are Of
f1cially connected with its administra-
ton operates upon the minds of weak
or depraved human instruments and
prompts the fabrication of. such false
testimony as this postscript. l dislike to
dwell upon this feature Of the case. but
1t Is so full Of a lesson that ought to be
taken to the heart OF every patriotic citi-
zen that / cannot pass it over in silence.
that the condition Of public opinion in
reference to investments in Alaska. fan
ned by charges of fraud-some well
founded and others Of an historical and
unjust or false character@would lead to
an attack upon 1t and to the questioning
of my motives in signing it. 1 remarked
this when l made the order. and ! was
not mistaken. But public officer. when
he conceives 1t his duty to take affirma-
tive action In the public interest. has no
more right to allow fear Of unjust criti-
cism and attack to hinder him from TAX
ing that action than he would allow per-
sonal and dishonest motives to affect
him. It Is easy in cases like this to take
the.course which timidity prompts and to
do nothing. but such a course does not
inure to the public veal.
Development Of Alaska.
II am in full sympathy with the con-
Germ Of reasonable and patriotic men that
the valuable resources OF Alaska should
not be turned over to be exploited for
the profit Of greedy. absorbing. monopo-
listic corporations or syndicates. What
ever the attempts which have been made.
no one. as a matter OF fact, has secured
In Alaska any undue privilege or fran
chise not completely under the control of
Congress- and in all the scandal with
which the public has been RECALLED very
few spec fic instances of corrupt or I'M
proper attempts to acquire vested inter-
ests In Alaska have been shown by evil
dence that would stand the test of judi
cial examination. Notwithstanding this.
however. am in full agreement with the
view that every care, both in admin stra-
ton and legislation, must be observed to
prevent the corrupt or unfair acquisition
Of undue privilege, franchise or right
from the government In that district. But
every one must know that the resources
Of Alaska can never become available
either to the people OF Alaska or to the
public of the United States unless reason
able opportunity is granted to those who
would invest their money to secure q re-
turn proportionate to the risk run in the
circumstances.

the whole is part of tho authors

The recent South Dakota State

The recent South Dakota State
Fair comes somewhat as a surprise
to the visitor who heard tales of
failure, more or less complete,
thruout that state this season.
The fact is that the South Dakotan
is made of sterner stuff than the
ordinary. Most of the wcaklings
went out i'm the nineties. and the
makers of the state are not to be
scared out by couple of short
crop seasons. Some of the new
comers are having a hard pull of
it, but the late rains have revived
the grass, have mellowed the soil
and make reasonably sure har-
vest i'm 1911. In view of these
facts one is inclined to dotf the hat
to the drouth stricken State that
smiles at you with an $4,000 peo-
pile state fair, and to lean a little
more confidently upon the staying
power and gameness of the South
Dakota farmer and his wife.

BOY DROWNED

Charles friedrich, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. w. Vinup, was drowned last
Saturday afternoon while in SWIM
ming in a slough near the Loring
place, West of Lynden. The funeral
services were held Monday afternoon,
under the auspices of Rev. Wilder.
Besides the large number of family
friends who followed the body to its
last home were Is or 20 schoolmates
who brought great banks of flowers.
Chrley was IL years, six mnths and
2S days old, and was second in a
family of four boys and two girls.
Saturday he was playing with two
brothers and in the afternoon when
it was quite warm went with them
first to the Slade home and then to
the slaughter house on an errand.
The latter place was not far from
the slough and it was proposed that
the boys go swimming. They all ran
for the hole and Charley as usual out
stripped his brothers and was in the
water when they approached. AS the
came up he called to his brothers TO
throw him a plank, that he was
"ramping.
The frightened brothers threw in q
l,lank and the suffering boy grab
bed hold of it, but was too far gone
to hang on. His two brothers saw
him slipping and heard last cry
for help as he went under. They
called for help but got no response.
They undressed and went in and tried
to get their brother but he was in
water out of their reach. Frighten-
ed terribly they hastily redressed
and calling for help started home.
Mr.. Knutson who was working near
heard the first calls for help and
started toward the hole but saw the
two boys splashing in the water and

ME- bayes proposes that this year
curing the berry season Lynden shall
get series of pictures of berry
ranches and fruit orchards of this
part OF the county for advertising
purposes, and the Tribune believes it
is a good idea. We have advertised
the country as a dairy and hay
country and as poultry country, and
while those are the chiefest indust-
res, the small fruit, especially, is
proving just as much money maker
as any of them.
The Tribune believes with Mr..
Bayes that if more people were in
terested in the berry business and a
cannery established here it would be-
come very important industry.
Mr.. Bayes is thinking of starting u
small private cannery this fall. If he
does it he hopes to get it going in
time to handle this years crop. Be-
sides his strawberries he is big
grower of rhubarb, and has an acre
or two of blacl1berries, and some
gooseberries besides little other
fruit.

BURNING STUMPS

Prof. N. w. Spark, of the Washing
ton State College, gave demonstra'-
ion in stump burning by the CHAR
pit method, in Lynden, last SATURDAY
The fires were built on Geo. True
place in the north part of town, put
in. the afternoon the p roffessof
talked to the congregated farmers on
the street.
Considerable personal attention is
necessary to make a success OF the
char-pit method, but Mr.. Spark as
sured the Lynden farmers that it is
the cheapest possible method of rid
ding the land of the stumps. lie
lays little kindling and small wood
around the base of stump in such a
manner that they will be rather loose
underneath. He then covers them
over with shot clay but leaves few
air holes around the outer edge.
Arund the trunk of the tree the
clay is packed tight, and after the
fire gets to going the lower vents are
closed. AS result the fire follows
the roots and burns out the stump.
Mr.. Spark suggests the use OF
cinders instead of clay where it is
hard to get the clay, and says that
cinders work equally as well.
Dozens at land owners heard the
talks given here and as a result it
is likely quite few tests will lie
made soon. The Tribune would be
glad to have reports of either sue
cesses or failures with the method.
We all want to take advantage of
