Dear Mr.. Editor,

NOW JllAC the pOllIICal atmosphere
has cleared somewhat, | have thought fit to
return to on Of the unsOlved problems still
uppermost in the minds of most people.
| refer to the rum question. Falling the
opportunity to discuss III the proper place
and eventually carry INTO effect the removal
of the protective-duty Oh this commodity,
I purpose handling the matter in n different
manner, hoping nevertheless to attain the
desired results, which may be to The benefit
of some Of the cane deiiverers and the com
munity at large.
From time immemorial st. Croix has been
noted as a rum producing place and there
are still hopes that this now d~windling ill.,
dustry will be revived and encouraged.
The possibility lies III the hands Of some
of our most extensive sugar producing con-
Germs. The ST. Croix Sucker Fabrik for ex-
ample, with It's energetic Directors could
easily assist in bringing this about.
1t is said to he unwise to carry nil ones
eggs in one basket we have seen the ndv s.
ability of dividing onr eggs by the good
results obtained through the Introduction of
the cotton industry along with Our staple
produce. We need not have any fears about
the worlds over production of rum, as with
sugar, because St. Croix Rum can only be
made in st. Crox, it being, as it were,
indigenous to the soil.
1t occurs to NY mind that it would be
mighty beneficial and lead to the desired
result for the cane growers and the general
community if the st. Groix Sucker Fabrik
were to erect an extensive rum Distillery
whereby n greater income would be secured,
better enabling the said Factory to carry into
effect it's handsome proposal to the cane deliv-
erers, namely besides the 55lbs.o of crystal sHg-
ar per 100 lbs. of cane to give them 500 Of
the net profit. For example the once ia
NOUS rum producing estate Rattan with it's
hills to-day covered with bush might be
reclaimed by pnrceIling out the land and it's
cane delivered to estate st. JONAS in its
close proximity.
II the d~istillery were erected there it
would not only be beneficial to the cane
growers and the comm unity, but also to the
Colonial Treasury by direct and indirect tax
alton.
Rumour says that one of our planters will
make about 800 puncheons of rum this at.
the market price of $40 90 per puncheon
would yield $21, 600. 90; il this lie 50 his net
result would most undoubtedly be an en-
viable one, and if all caLe growers were
similarly placed, their positions would mot
be as desperate as they are for most of them
to-day.
Thus not only from a financial point of
view but also from an agricultural one it
would be advantageous if the Factory had q
d%istillery in conjunction with it's sugar works
for their canes could be delivered at such a
time of the year that would ensure early
planting and presumably a bountiful crop.
In connection with the proposed distillery
Of the Sukker Fabrik, the estates on the
north side of the Island belonging to the
Plantation Company might also be made to
do their part in the production of the said
commodity, if their owners through their
likewise energetic A~dministrator would give
a. thought to a similar distillery. It cannot

STEAM ROLLERS.

With Mrs. Pankhurst out Of Jail
again; with Roosevelt acquitted
Of the charge Of drunkenness;
with the passage of the seven
teenth amendment to the consti-
tuition; the hopeless prospect of a
scrap with Japan; with jack
Johnson in the pen, the Columbia
river flood receding, and a reas-
onably good prospect for the com
ing harvest, what is the poor
pencil pusher to do for something
to write about? No excitement.
Even baseball cannot arouse any
special interest in the average
citizen. Everything seems tame
and commonplace. For the last
week only one subject has sue
ceeded in creating a ripple upon
the placid surface Of the quies-
cent desuetude that seems to have
taken possession of the entire
mass of humanity, and that is
the Steam Roller. Of course,
this refers to the real thing, and
not to a figure of speech applied
to certain methods sometimes
employed to get rid of a trouble
some opponent.
1t is charged that some parties
are decidedly in favor of steam
rollers. And that they are so
determined upon indulging the
luxury derived from the posses
sion, operation and attainments
of the steam roller as to have de-
cided to resort to steam roller
methods in order to obtain one,
Now, we don't, know whether
this charge is we'll founded or
not. We are loath to accept it in
its entirety, altho there is doubt
less some ground for the accusa-
ton. However, we take no sides
to the controversy at the present.
but merely state the facts, and
would gladly do what we can to
bring about a peaceable solution
of the difficulty, that there be no
broken bones or blood shed.
If both parties to the contro-
versy will get together, not for a
scrap, but for a friendly discus
sion of the proposition upon its
merits. we opine they will find
that they all want the same
things when they come to fully
understand each other.

With the organization of the
Morrow County Fair, the organi-
zation of a county pioneers asso-
citation ought to be considered.
The time is coming when every
fact relating to early settlement
and history Of the county will be
of great value. Unless some spe-
cial effort is made to collect and
preserve them, many incidents
connected with the first settle
ment and subsequent develop
ment of the country will be for
ever lost. The coming together
of the people at the county fair
will be an opportune time for the
pioneers meeting. We shall
hope to see this matter taken up
by a goodly number Of those di-
rectly interested in the move
ment who, realizing its import
ance, will carry it forward to
completion.

past even before the flood
Heppner boasted a Symphony
band that was the pride of the
city and a joy to all visitors. The
great catastrophe of June IA, 1903,
wiped it out of existence, and tho
some feeble attempts have been
made since then to assemble a
cornet band that would identify
itself with the city as one of it's
permanent institutions, such at
tempts have been abortive from
the lack of competent leadership,
and the moral and financial back
ing of the substantial business
and professional people of the
town.
There is the nucleus of a good
band already here. 1t would be
necessary to buy a few more in
struments perhaps, to bring itup
to the proper standard of respec-
liability, but if the good people of
Heppner can focus their minds
upon the proposition long enough
to appreciate it's benefits to the
town, this difficulty could be cas-
lily overcome. 1t seems to us that
the time is ripe for a movement
of this kind ard we hope to see
some of our musical folk take it
up.
