AN APPEAL FROM
LYNDEN'S MERCHANTS

To our Lynden Patrons:
We have the delivery problem to
solve. We want your assistance to
help us help you. In most cities the
merchants divide the city into dis
tricts and make one trip only to that
district each day. Lynden Is most
too small to divide into districts, but
too large to cover the territory in
the way We have been doing. and
get out all of our orders.
Many times we are called upon to
make as many as five deliveries to
one house in a single day. You can
easily figure out that such practice
results in useless expense. At pre-
sent 1t costs more money to deliver
the goods sold in Lynden than II
costs to ship them from Portland
Oregon, to Lynden, distance O
over 300 miles.
Our country customers get sup
plies once week and they seem Il
fare we'll. Now here Is the way YOU
can help us help you. When 20
are out Of, say yeast, don't phon
your order in till you have locke
over your pantry for other possible
shortages and then let your groce
have the whole order. We max

HELP Us BOOST!

The Tribune is going to inaugurate
a publicity campaign in the interest
of Lynden, the Nooksack Valley, and
tributary territory. Will you help?
This picturesque and fertile valley
needs more people, more industries,
more boosters Many thousands are
annually seeking new homes in Brit
ish Columbia and other Canadian
provinces. If these homeseekers can
be convinced that this section has
more to offer than either the place
they are going to or the place they
are leaving behind, why should they
not settle here? What is necessary
is that they should be told the
story of the wonderful possibilities OF
the soil and the seductive charm of
the climate, of the unsurpassed
beauties of Whatcom County, and
this the Tribune will endeavor to do
in various articles of interest to
homeseekers to be published from
time to time. You may cooperate,
by making it possible to place before
eastern people the advantages OF
the natural resources of Lynden and
the surrounding territory.
During the month of November,
every subscriber who pays years
subscription in advance, and also
every new subscriber who pays for
the paper for one year, will be given
free of charge a three months sub
scription to be sent to some one
east of the Rockies. Send in your
subscription and the name of friend
to whom you wish the paper sent,
for three months, and thus help
boost for Lynden and the beautiful
NOoksack Valley. Lynden Is the hub
of mighty fine section Of country,
and all roads lead to Lynden. Why
not settle up the lands along those
roads with farmers and dairymen,
who will help to build up the
country?

TIMELY TOPICS
J. L. Stahl. Horticulturist of the
Western Washington Expert
ment Station, Puyallup. Wash.
FALL OR SPRING PLANTING
OF FRUITS.

Shall l plant this fall or wait I'M
I'll next spring to do my planting? .
This Is a question that troubles no,
only the amateur fruit grower but
Is disputed question with many Of
our connoisseur horticulturists. It /:
question, though, that depends
largely on conditions of soil, climate
and condition of the tree or shrun
to be planted.
This is exceptionally true in West
ern Washington where our soil condi-
tons and plant growth are so varied.
One fruit grower may plant in the
fall and be successful while his neigh
Dor condemns such practice. Is
there any wonder the novice does
not know when to plant?
When such question comes to
me for reply. | generally side step"
as gracefully as possible, for so much
depends uponu the local conditions
mentioned above.
In Western Washington We do
not have the cold, drying winter
winds which make fall planting an
impossibility as it is in many Of
the eastern states, in the middle
west, and in some other parts of
our own state. We have plenty of
moisture during the months which
follow fall setting, making it impos-
sible for the roots to dry. In some
cases We may gain few months by
setting at this time of year.
On the other hand much of our
nursery stock grows SO late in the
fall that the wood is not fipened
early enough for fall planting. Many
of our soils are not well-drained, we
may have a light surface soil but
such heavy sub-soil that water
be held a few inches below the sur
face and fall-set trees will stand
with their roots covered with water
during several months. Air Is cut
off from the roots and our plant dies
or at least receives severe setback.
1t will suffer as much from drouth
during the dry summer months as it
suffered from moisture during the
winter months, for soils of that nat
ure lose much more water in sum-
mer than soils in good physical con-
dition. The tree in poor ply
steal condition is more apt to be at
tackled by plant diseases than a
healthy tree.
What holds for planting of trees
will be true largely for planting
shrubs. If ripened nersery stock
can be secured and the soil Is we'll
drained, fall planting will be as sue
cessful as spring planting. If the
nursery stock is late maturing its
wood and the drainage anu phySica'
conditions of the soil rather poor
it would be less successful.
Summing up the arguments in
favor of and against fall planting we
must come to this conclusion:
In general, If we plant we'll ripen-
ed nursery stock and our soil is in
good physical condition it does not
make much difference whether we
plant in fall or spring; but since we
do not always have these favorable
conditions we can make no mistake
by planting in early spring In pre-
ference to fall.

hundreds of deliveries where the
entire price of the goods would not
pay for the cost of making the de-
livery.
1t is an injustice to our customers
who come to the store and deliver
their own goods. Some one has TO
pay this delivery bill SO why not all
try to keep it at the lowest possible
cost. We earnestly solicit your CO.
operation to give you better service
and We expect to do our part.
In future we will not guarantee to
deliver on the same day any order
taken after four p. m. The days
are SO short and the roads are so
heavy, that on busy days it is al
most impossible to deliver orders
taken after four p. m. So please
bunch your orders and phone them
in early and greatly oblige. Yours

PANAMA CANAL WILL BE GREAT
BENEFIT TO FRUIT GROWERS.

BENEFIT TO FRUIT GROWERS.
That the completion of the Pana-
ma canal WHY mean millions of dol
lars annually to the fruit growers
the Pacific Northwest was the state
ment of j. N. Teal, in an address to
the Oregon State Horticultural Soc
iety at it's annual meeting. He be-
lieves the fruit grower will benefit
more by the opening of the canal
than the man engaged in any other
industry with the possible exception
of the lumberman, although producers
generally will be much benefited.
Mr.. Teal told of the reduced
freight rates to the markets of the
world that will follow when the
canal is opened, while at the SAME
time lower rates will lessen the cost
of almost everything the horticul-
turist uses. Markets for fruit Will
be widened greatly because of cheap
ening of transportation and Mr. Teal
estimates a saving of approximately
$50, 100000 a year in freight charges
to growers of the Pacific North
west,

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
What il Cost to Discover America
Difficult to Estimate

1t is difficult to make an accu-
rate innate of what it cost to ais
cover America. All the documents
agree that the total expense of fit
ting out the three little vessels with
which Columbus sailed was 1,140.-
600 maravedis. but the difficulty Is
to ascertain the value of that coin
at the time. maravedi is Il small
copper coin of Spain, supposed to
be worth about three mills of Amer
lean money The coins of a country
usually decrease in value as the
country grows older. and some au-
thorities claim that in the time of
Columbus q maravedi was equal to
seven mills. If such was the case,
the expense to the Spanish govern
ment was about $4,000. OF course
the pay of the officers and crew
should be included. but that was not
excessive. The annual salary OF Ad-
miral Christopher Columbus was
equal to $500 American money: OF
the three captains, $192 each. and
of the three pilots about $40 eacn.
The sailors We're paid at the rate of
$2.57 q month The ships physician
could not have been considered a
very smportent parsonage. as his
salary was equal to $3.50 per an

BRILLIANT SPEAKERS
At BAR CONVENTION
Many Topics of Vital Interest to
Come Up at Spokane
July 27-29

OLYMPIA, Jul y22.--Conservation
the recall of judges, delays of courts,
the prevalence of perjury in the trial
cases, and comparison of the courts
of this country with those of Ger
many and current legislation, are
some of the important subjects that
will be discussed at the State Bar
Association July 27-2S-29 when the
annual convention will be held in
the city of Spokane.
Russell L. Dunn, one of the lead
ing lawyers of San Francisco, Judge
Dietrich, the U. S. District Judge for
Idaho, J. r. Walsh, one of the fore
most lawyers of Montana and who
has had the largest personal injury
business Of any lawyer in the west
or elsewhere for that matter, S. j.
Chadwick of the Supreme Bench of
Washington, Fred II. Peterson, a
prominent lawyer of Seattle, and
Hon. C. W. Howard, Pres. of the AS
ISOLATION, will present these various
subjects after which discussions will
be had. The Spokane bar has maze
elaborate arrangements for enter
tanning the visiting lawyers.
The State Bar Association Is
steadily growing in influence and in
terest not only with the bar but with
the public generally. The purpose Of
this organization and the work done
by it are wholly unselfish. 1t has al
ways sought and interested itself IN
legislation looking toward the SIM
plification of the practice and pro-
ceedure in the courts.
While the larger part of the bar
of the state is in western Washing
ton and Spokane is in tho far eastern
part of the state, good attendance
from the west side is anticipated.
The annual meeting next year will
likely be held at Longmire Springs
at the base of Mt. Rainier.
