The rural postman, day by day, goes
on his long and tOilsome way, and
takes the farmers mall he jogs across
the hills and moors and much of hard
ship he endures for small supply of
kale I've seen him driving through the
rain, but never knew him to complain
or read the riot act; he pushed his tired
old nag along. and greeted with cheer
full song the cold, wet cataract. I've
seen him when the blizzard blew; I've
seen him when the snowstorm snew;
but never heard him roar; serene he
drives along the trail, and leaves the
farmers green goods mail in tin box
By the door. I've seen MIN when the
roads were rough. and when the winds
were raw enough to make mummy
cuss; he joited Ger the ruts and stones
that dislocated all his bones and never
raised a fuss. His wages made a pal
Try heap, and half of it must go to
keep his wagon in repair, to manicure
his trusty bay and keep its stomach
full of hay, but he does not despair. I've
seen no rural postman yet who made 1t
his life work to fret and whine about
his lot; when duty calls him to the road
without complaint he takes his load,

A SPLENDID RECORD

The Fisher FIGURING mills, in Seattle.
which unquestionably produce some OF
the very best flour in the United states.
began operation on April 1lth, 1911. Just
a little more than year ago, ana
demand for it's product has been so con-
slant that the plant has been in busy
operation every day since it started with
the exception of few days unavoidable
shutdown for repairs. How many man
ufacturing plants in the United States
were able to keep busy 9S and one-half
per cent of the time during the past
year? Not so very many, owing to the
general inactivity that has overcast the
business world. Yet the Fisher Flour
t,.g Mills did so, and that in their
first year of business.

Almost every member of the fire de.

al meeting of the department was call
ed to order on Monday evening, which
was very gratifying to the officers OF
the new organization, and, presumably,
to our citizens generally, as such inter-
est shows that the new department is
on the road to success and permanent
cy. and consequently life and property
will be adequately protected should oc-
Casion require.
Many matters of interest were dispos-
ed of, among them being final arrange
ments for firemens ball and enter
tainment to be given on the evenings
of October 4th and 9TH, the closing
days of this years county fair. Pixley's
hall was engaged for these evenings, aiit
It is the intention to make the firemen's
ball as fine an affair as has ever been
given in Whatcom County A commit
tee consisting of w. K. PiXley, Walter

appointed to proceed with the necessa
ry arrangements.

for the ensuing year: President, II. Eo-

ciusions with the Bcllingham Knights
of Columbus ball tossers next Sun
day afternoon at Hawley's park. This
game was to have been played in Bell
ingham but Manager Philo had 1t trans
ferred to Lynden. Hereafter games will
start promptly at O'Clock instead of
half an hour later. in order to give WIS.,
iting teams plenty Of time to catch the
train home.
With an array of new players in their
lineup, the taking powder boys will
undoubtedly present stronger aggrega-
ton than when they played here few
weeks ago, and fans may expect an In

DOESN'T WORRY DAIRYMEN

Denmark has an area of l1,OO0 square
miles and an income per year from its
butter exports of $54,OOOOOO.
Mr.. Bernhard Boeggild, of Copenhagen,
Denmark. world renowned dairy expert,
says that Western Washington could do
twice as well as Denmark.
The doctor bases his assertion upon
the fact that the North Pacific coast Of
fers greater pasture facilities than does
Denmark. has a much larger area for
pasture use and has a ready market for
all of it's products.
As a matter Of fact. Western Wash
ington offers greater opportunities to
the dairyman than it does to the follow
er Of any other pursuit. The problem
OF how to clear the logged-off lands
doesn't worry the dairyman. Given, for
example, 100 acres of logged-off land.
which can be bought at low price and
upon almost any terms, one man in a
year after he acquires the land can
have pasture ground enough for at least
80 COWS.
He doesn't have to remove the stumps.
All he has to do Is to burn the surface
clear of everything but stumps. sow
grass seed in the ashes and wait the
few months necessary for his pasture
fodder to appear.
No product of this state finds a read
Ter market than milk and its products.
Millions of dollars are sent out Of Wes-
tern Washington each year for butter
and cheese. and the 200 creameries of
the Northwest and the eighteen or
twenty condensed milk factories are u.s.
ing every possible effort to increa Sc
their milk supply from the dairyman.

1t ever occur to you that in a great
many instances our officials are elect
ed by vote of less than One-twelfIh
OF the population? Did 1t ever strike you
that when not over one-third of the
qualified voters take the trouble to vote
and where a bare majority is sufficient
to a choice, officials are elected by a
vote of one-sixth Of the actual voters
or, IL there happens to be three candi-
dates for the same office, and a bare
plurality is necessary to a choice, a
man may be elected by barely one-nintf
OF the voters. And this means, in

His plurality Is variously estimated at
from five to twelve thousand, and he
Will have solid delegation from South
Dakota to the national convention at
Chicago on Tuesday. June 49,
The Roosevelt line of battle for the re.
publican national convention was form
ed at Oyster Bay On Saturday A cam
paign was mapped out which 1t is hop
ed will result in the capture of the con-
vention. The first step is to be the Or
ganization of the Roosevelt forces
throughout the country. 1t is planned
to send to Chicago a week or SO in ad-
vance OF the convention an executive
committee from every state In which
Roosevelt delegates have been elected
or In which there Is contest. BY this
method 1t Is expected to mobilize and
drill an organization that will act as a
unit.
AS a part of this plan. the Roosevelt
delegates in every part Of the country
will be canvassed as to their Views on
the temporary chairmanship. that a har-
though Roosevelt had decided to oppose
the selection of Senator Root and had
asked Governor Hadley of Missouri to
be his candidate for temporary chair
man Of the convention, he has indicat-
ed that he would waive his objection II
II seemed wiser to his supporters to re-
serve their fire for the important con-
tests. Whether Colonel Roosevelt will
go to Chicago to lead the fight Is an o.
Zen question. The colonel virtually serv-
ed notice on his opponents that under
certain conditions he might go. He de-
clared that he would not go "unless a
grave emergency in the shape of unfair
play should arise"
Two other points were agreed upon.
Every effort is to be made to have the
hearings before the national committee
TO settle contests for seats. held pub
licly. and the Roosevelt supporters will
fight to obtain what they deem an e.
quitable distribution of convention tick
cts.
Colonel Roosevelt said he had been
told that some of his delegates felt
that the action Of the national commit
tee indicated a deliberate purpose to
use 10000 or 5000 tickets to stuff the
gallery with shouters who will try by
clamor to influence and overwhelm the
convention"

Crop reports are the most favorable
ever known to the Pacific Northwest.
+. A. Huntley, state commissioner OF
horticulture, who just returned from
Eastern Washington says that fruit
crops of the state will excel by one
third any crop ever harvested and will
bring to the fruit growers fully $4,000
oOO Equally as optimistic are the re-
turns from the grain sections. The last
report from Waldo G. Paine. second vice
president Of the Spokane & Inland Rail-
way. in very careful estimate, gives
the states of Washington, Oregon and
Idaho 100000 bushels Of wheat, or
100000 more bushels than last years
crop and 50O0.0o0 greater than ever har-
vested before. Unless some unforeseen
trouble arises. tn Pacific Northwest is
going to be the most prosperous Sec
tion of the Unitad States next year.
