This country now has a population
of over 10000, 900 people living on
over 100000 square miles of terri
tory, people who must be fed and
clothed. The gold and silver coin

was $8.76O, 100000, a gain of $780,
OOC, 900 over the year 1908 and a sum
almost double the total value of
eleven years ago. The chief crop of
1909 was corn worth 81, 720, 100000
sum of itself equal to the value of
all the gold and silver bullion pos
sesed by the country, a crop pro-
duced in 100 days at the rate of $14,
900, 900 day.

In his annual report Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson says that % new
associations for the cooperative test
ing of cows belonging to members
were formed during the year, and
that IS are now in operation. Such
tests, which enable the owners to
discard Improbable COWS, raised the
average annual profit per cow in one
association from $21. 43 to $42.82 in
four years.

The Inland Navigation Company
is inaugurating a campaign of adj
vertising for this county and the
northwest and has appropriated al
ready $4,000 for advertising pur-
poses. The company proposes to
have printed and circulated folders
exploiting the possibilities here and
to especially feature this county as
a mecca for the tourist and pleasure
seeker. In spite of all this steam
boat company has done and expects
to do for San Juan county and the
northwest there are those who are
ungrateful and uncharitable enough
to call its management rasping and
unfair. 1t is true the Inland Navi-
cation Co. is looking for business
and that it is going to spend its
money in anticipation of increasing
the patronage of its steamers, but
If its venture accomplishes the
desired result the county as we'll as
the company will be a benificrary
and the people here should apprici-
ate this. If the comrany's business
shows increase the business of the
county will necessarily be better and
it is business we are looking for.
The Islander has not yet heard of
any resident or concern in this county
spending one twenty-fourth part of
$4,000 to advertise the county and
we can see no reason for neglecting
to appreciate the efforts of any out
slider who may be willing to do So,
no matter if there be motive of gain
IN view. Patronize those who help
us and in measure repay them for
the good they have done and the
service that has been rendered

which cost them quite considerable

other evidence Of the appreciation

tainly deserving of all the business
it can handle.

New Years day though clear and
most delight ul here, was the chill
hest this season, and the new born
year of 1911 started out with a frost.
The Islander, however, notes with
pleasure that there was an unusually
warm feeling among business men
and neighbors and a feeling of friend
ship for one another was manifest
on all sides. There is general
feeling Of security in business affairs
and prosperity and happiness reign
over this fair land of ours. Resi-
dents Of this county are especially
favored and should appreciate it.
