A Native of Eden and in Her 1olst Year

Mrs. Catherine Bassett Fisher, who
began her career as wage-earner in the
mills of Walpole, Mass, in 1888, is an
other genuine centenarian.
w. !. Atwell, Town Clerk Of Eden,
which is the native place of Mrs. Fisher,
has furnished sworn statement that fixes
the birthdate as January 2, 1912.
One of the memories Mrs. Fisher prizes
is that which relates to the battle OF
Plattsburg. Although then child of ten
der years she distinctly recalls the boom
ing of the guns that, echoing across Lake
Champlain to her native town, betok-
ened the warfare at Plattsburg.
Since 1888 Mrs Fisher has resided in
the same house where she now lives in
Walpole with Lewis Fisher, son. Mrs.
Fisher, as Miss Bassett, was married to
Lewis Fisher in Walpole in 1888. Three
sons saw service in the Civil War. Lots
of sleep and plenty of hearty food have
been my rule through life, and to that l
attribute the ripe age that Ihave reached"
saws Mrs. Fisher. This estimable lady is
an aunt of the late VIM. G. Bassett.

AN ENTHUSIAST In WASHINGTON.

Of all the good roads students in
the state, perhaps S. P. Davis has
made more thorough study of the
King Road Drag than any other man.
Mr.. Davis has taken instruction in the
University of Washington, and has
devoted his entire time during the
past three years to demonstrating the
value of the King Road Drag. Last
spring he was employed by the county
commissioners of Skagit county and
made a fine record. Last fall he
was employed by the Seattle Auto
mobile Club and given charge of a
piece of road in the north end of the
county. It is the universal opinion
of those who have used this road that
more good was accomplished for a
less amount of money than any other
road work ever done in that part of
the county.
Mr.. Davis appeared before the King
county commissioners the first of the
year and tried to get them to give
him charge on several roads during
the year to demonstrate farther the
value of his work. The commits
sioners, however, refused to employ
him. He was Immediately employed
by the commissioners of Pacific county
and is now at work in that county.
We believe the county commissioners
of King county could not have ex-
pended money more wisely than to
have employed Mr.. Davis.

allup last month was one of the most
interesting and profitable horticul-
tural meetings ever held in the state.
The papers read we're Of high order
and the discussion showed great in
terest in the fruit growing sections OF
Western Washington. 1t was unfor-
tunate that there we're not more in
attendance. There should have been
hundreds where there we're dozens.
There was scarcely paper read which
was not worthy Of wide publicity.
The Ranch will endeavor to publish
the best of them, though an effort is
being made to have them published
in book form, and for this reason we
cannot publish them for some time.
The splendid weather during the lat
ter part of February was probably re-
sponsible for the small attendance, as
many people were kept away by press
of spring work. There was scarcely
phase of fruit growing which was not
covered by some expert, and there was
not an improbable hour during the
entire three days session.

Bills have been introduced into the
legislature which will make two big
district fairs in the state of Washing
ton. One to be known as the Western
Washington Fair to be held at or near
Seattle, and the other Eastern Wash
ington Fair. to be held at or near
Spokane. This will probably elm
mate the State Fair at Yakima.
Under the bills as introduced, the
two counties mentioned must provide
grounds and appropriate at least
$25, 600 a year for the support of the
fairs. Neither of them will have any
support from the state during the
next two years. The Southwestern
Washington Fair has been discon-
tinued by the state and money ap-
propriated to pay it's de BITS, but the
appropriation now before the legisla-
ture calls for $40, 600 to be used for
the State Fair at Yakima.

One of the most important laws
pertaining to the liquor question
which has ever been passed is what
is known as the Webb Liquor bill.
This bill has been passed by both
houses of congress and will be signed
by the president and soon become
one of the laws of the land. Under
its provision liquor cannot be ship
ped into dry territory. Heretofore
states having prohibition laws had
their efforts largely nullified, as they
could not prevent shipment of liquor
into the state, though they could re-
fuse to grant licenses. Under the
new law this will be possible and the
only liquor that can be shipped into
prohibition states will be that to be
used in private consumption.

Both the legislatures of the states
of Washington and Oregon have en-
dorsed the agricultural extension
bills, and it looks like both bills would
become laws. Under the proposed
law county commissioners in any
county can levy tax for the purpose
of employing farm experts. The duty
of these experts will be to travel over
the country and give expert advice to
farmers to enable them to grow more
and better crops. Elsewhere in this
issue the provisions of the bill are
published in full. Farmers should
write to members of the legislature
at once asking them to see that the
bill becomes law.

millions, has decided to devote his
life to agriculture. OF all the voca-
tions he chose agriculture as the one
wherein he could do most for himself
and his country. We wish there we're
more such young men as Mr.. Astor
who are not ashamed to get down to
the soil.

One Of the measures passed by the
senate at Olympia with which The
Ranch is in hearty accord is the
mothers pension bill. This will give
to mothers left destitute by death of
husband or otherwise, with children
to support, $15 per month for them
selves, and $5. 90 for each child under
Is years of age. The object of this
bill is to allow mothers to keep their
families together instead of sending
them to poor houses or farming them
out to strangers. This measure is
one of the many proposed laws which
proves that society is taking a more
intelligent interest in its unfortunate
members. Any law that will assist
people to become self-supporting
should have the approval of all.

Occasionally we hear of a young

business. However, ii we should have

The taxpayers of the state of Wash
ington are facing the biggest ap-
preparation bill in the history of the
state, total of SO. 500, 926 is carried
by the bill which has already been
passed by both Houses. This is ST.
800, 600 more than any measure has
carried heretofore. Although Senator
Troy, democrat of Jefferson county,
and Representative Davis, republi-
can of Pierce county, served as chair
men of these committees and cut out
every unnecessary dollar, the total
amount is certainly an appalling sum.

The state senate has passed the bill
forming an agricultural commission,
and it looks very much as though it
would become law The only fear
is that out of the great multiplicity
of bills before the house, time will
not allow it to be reached in time for
consideration. We sincerely hope
that this will be passed. We believe
if an able commission can be appoint
ed more effective work can be done
at big saving to the taxpayer Under
this law all the commissions of an
agricultural kind will be merged into
single commission. There are now
some thirteen of these different. COM.
missions which will be merged into
one. 80
