Washington Fruit Industry

The State Commissioner of HOrtj-
culture, Mr.. F. A. Huntley, has re-
Gently issued his report to the
governor. This is surprise to people
who have not kept track of the wonder
full advance of Washington AS fruit
growing state The commissioner
finds there are a. 978, 1872 fruit trees
in the state by actual count. The re-
port shows that more than 223, 054
acres of land in this state are devoted
to fruit culture. Small fruits cover
3, 800 acres Strawberries 2, 532. There
are also $500 acres devoted to the
growing of grapes.
The apple orchards are remarkable
inasmuch as large per cent OF the
trees are less than four years old.
Spokane county leads in the number
of trees having l, 800, $685. Chelan and
Yakima are close seconds, the former
having l, 243, 600 and the latter l,24l,-
100. Yakima leads in the number of
pear trees having 301, SOC. Whitman
comes second with 247. 222. No other
reaches 80, 900 save Chelan. Whitman
county leads in the number of peach
trees having 46l, 729. Klickitat leads
in the number of apricot trees having
300, 900, twice as many as any other
county. Clark county is the great
plum and prune county having 51l,
721 bearing trees; no other county
approaching anywhere near this.
Spokane county leads in the number
of cherry trees having 6,3O4 closely
followed by Asotin county with 3d.
200; King comes next with 30, 900 and
Pierce with 80, 900.

Washington comes forward during
the past month with another boost for
her great natural resources. The
Standard Oil Company which has
been prospecting for some time in
the Olympic Peninsula along the
Pacific Ocean claims to have struck a
great quantity of crude petroleum.
1t is said that large plants will be in
stalled during the present summer
Fifteen years ago there was great
oil boom in Chehalis county and wells
were driven in various sections. The
most money was spent on a we'll about
IL miles above Grays Harbor near
where Moclips is now located. At
that time there was splendid prospects
that a valua BILE we'll would be found
but nothing came of it. The well
drilled at that time was just above
tide water and considerable oil was
obtained. Another we'll was sunk
near Aberdeen, but nothing came OF
this. We hope this present excite
ment has more probability of success.
There has also been another gold eX-
element during the winter. This
time in Pacific county near Raymond.
Prospects we're very tlattering on
some land near the river and claims
we're staked out all over the vicinity.
Nothing has been heard of it during
of many excItements and nothing will
be developed.

The result is a disappointment to the
BITTER element of the city as we'll as
the believers in the recall. The
Ranch has always stood for such pro-
gressive ideas as the initiative, the
referendum and the recall, but we
must confess that few elections like
this will give the adherents of this a
severe jolt The primary election
will be held on the 5th of March and
it looks as though Mr.. Gill would WIN.
If he should it will be hard blow to
believers in the new progr essive,
economic doctrines. Hi Gill did not
change in year and ii be was un-
worthy to govern the city year ago
he is unworthy now. The reformers
should be more consistent. Friends
Of Mr.. Parish we're considerably sur
prised that he should make so poor a
showing as he was not only splendid
officer as tax commissioner, but was
probably the best assessor King county
ever had.

One of the most far reaching de-
cisions ever rendered by the supreme
court was handed down on February
10Th. This was the famous initiative
and referendum case taken up by
the Pacific States Telephone and
Telegraph Company from the state OF
Oregon. 1t was taken up on appeal
for the express purpose of testing out
the new progressive laws such as the
initiative and referendum. Oregon
has been leader in the progress OF
such laws and at recent election the
voters endorsed law to tax the tele
phone companies. CHIEF Justice
White rendered the opinion and there
was no dissenting vote. Through this
decision is held constitutional the
progressive laws not ouly Of Oregon
but the laws of the several other
states which have been passed IN the
last few years. The supreme court
maintained that the Legislative branch
of congress must deal with this matter
and not the judicial branch.

The most practical plan for settling
logged off lands yet devised is the one
which was adopted by the Southwest
ern Washington Development League
at their recent meeting. This is to
furnish land to prospective settlers,
paying but one-fifth Of the purchase
price down and the balance on long
term payments at a low rate OF in
terest. Arrangements have also been
made to loan money to prospective
settlers at reasonable rate Of interest
to assist in clearing lands and stock
ing them. Some $1,000 acres have
already been listed with the associa'
ton and headquarters opened at
ChenaIis for the purpose of assisting
the settlement of the logged-of lands
of Washington.

The farmers comprising the Colfax

ever had.

Nothing so plainly shows the great
interest in agricultural matters as
the farmers short course which was
held at Puyallup during the past
month. Nearly 800 men and women
enrolled in this course which lasted
for two weeks. Special instruction
was given in dairy and poultry rails
ing, domestic science and general
farm work. The remarkable feature
of it all was the number of elderly
men and women who attended during
the entire session. There were several
men and women between 60 and 70
years of age who took as keen an in
terest in the lectures as the younger
people. This was the most successful
and largely attended farmers course
ever held in the state and proves again
the absolute necessity for the state to
make preparations for extending agri
cultural education to the west side of
the mountains. In fact, it is general
ly conceded that school should be
held west Of the mountains equally
equipped with the agricultural college
at Pullman. 1t is a matter of but a
short time until there will be a de-
mand that west of the mountain
school be maintained and il this is
not done there will be a determined
effort to remove the entire college to
the west side of the mountain. This
we do not believe would be wise, as
there is as great need of college
and experimental station to take up

Farmers in Washington and Oregon
are somewhat up in the air over the
fact that the spring season seems to
have already arrived in all her splen-
dor. The winter has been one of the
mildest on record; scarcely freeze
on the west side OF the mountains
and only a short winter on the east
side. Although only March 1st,
lilacs, peach, pear and cherry buds
are already at the bursting point.
The crocuses are in bloom: berry
vines are growing and the grass is as
green as in May. We will have an
exceedingly early spring or there is
going to be lot of damage done by
late freeze up as fruit buds will
soon be at the danger point.

King County Fair Progressing.

The trustees who are arranging for
a King County Fair have been delay
ed somewhat. However, everything
is apparently coming on all right and
an advance premium list will prob
ably be issued within the next three
or four weeks. The fifteen trustees
are devoting a lot of hard work to the
establishing of this fair, but owing to
the fact that the entire groundwork
for regular fair must be laid at this
time there is an uncommon amount
of detail work to be done. From
present outlook we believe King
county will have a fair second to none
in the state in the year 1912.

The most important political event
of the month in the state was the
primary election in the city of Seattle.
This was made particularly important
from the fact that Mr.. Thomas A.
Parish, one Of the tax commissioners,
resigned his office TO enter the race
on the strength of promises made to
him by many prominent Seattle bust
ness men. He had as his opponents
Mr.. Hiram Gill, who was recalled a
year ago for running an open town,
and George f. Cotterlll, one OF the
leading temperance workers of the
state. After bitter contest Mr.. Gill
led for first place by a vote exceed
ing "a. 900, nearly as many as both his
opponents received. Mr.. Cotterill
was second in the race, having l4,OOO
and Mr.. Parish received but 12,5OO.

the questions which arise east of the
mountains, but there are many more
difficulties which need attention on
the west side and the prepoderance of
population is so much greater that
some provision must be made for the
west side school,

aud sell for their members. They
will also attempt to manage the tele-
phone lines of Whitman county. The
farmers of that county are a wealthy
and progressive bunch and will prob.
ably succeed if they undertake this
ambitious scheme.
