A MARKET is NECESSARY.

One thing is certain: before the ag-
ricultural resources of Thurston coun-
ty can be developed satisfactorily, the
people of the city must cooperate with
the farmers in some way or other to
help them dispose of their products.
That may sound trite and hackney
ed and worn out, but If you talk to
farmers very much you will find out
the most common complaint is: I'VE
can't sell our products
SHOW me farmer who is making
500 month and will show you ten
that are not making $780," one of the
most prominent farmers said the other
day.
.'Why?" we asked, for that is part
of our business.
Because they can't sell what they
raise"
And there you have it.
Lewis county has its farmers ex-
change; the Puyallup valley has its
Fruit Growers association; the East
ern Washington apple growers have
their general marketing agency, and
there are numerous smaller organiza
lions throughout the state. Where
there are none of these there are com
mission dealers who handle the prod
ucts at some price or another, giving
the farmer some relief.
There is nothing of the kind in
Olympia, not even commission deal

That need should be filled by some
plan. Other districts have felt it and
provided for it. We must do it here

CARNiN OF FRiIIs.

The county fair Is a mistake.
1t has been proven SO in the East
and Middle West. except in very rare
instances; il is proving so in this
state. The exhibit known a. The
Thurston county fair was an excellent
one so far as the showing of agricul-
tural products was concerned; il was
a miserable and regrettable failure in
every other way. The same expert
ence has been met with in other cOun-
ties of the state.
The theory of the county fair is eX-
cellent, but il attempts to do on a
large scale--and fails at it-what
could be done on a smaller scale and
made a success. A county will only
support a certain effort, no matter how
excellent or high minded that effort is.
The county fair is too large an under
taking Tor a relatively small unit; the
state fair and the sectional fair are
the only ones that can be made sue
cessful to any degree.
In the Middle West it has been SUI
perseded by three or four-day carni-
val on the streets of the principal city
of the county-where it has been car
ried on at sll-in which elaborate ex.
hibits of the agricultural, horticultu-
raj, gardening and stock raising re-
sources of the county are made, vari-
Gus entertainment features of high
order are provided, and the people of
the city and county unite in making it
q successful event. The expenses are
relatively SMALL the number of people
1t reaches is far larger than the aver
age county fair; and it brings the city
and county more closely together. 1t
also pays.
Why not carnival of fruits and
vegetables in Olympia every year?

The United States is not the only
country with a beef trust to worry it
with high prices. Canada has one of
it's own and, according to those who
know, the Canadian beef trust has the
one in the United States looking like
phianthropist. 1t is declared that the
Canadian packers pay less for their
beef and hogs than do the United
States packers, but they charge the
people of Canada much higher prices
for their meats than are charged by
the packers on this side.
The United States, seeking to break
the back of the beef trust in this
country, has taken the duty off Cana
dian beef and hogs, so that they may
enter free. Now it is expected that
Canada will soon admit American beef
and pork free of duty; if Canada does
that, it is declared that the Canadians
will soon have cheaper meats, for the
Independent packers will at once ship
their meats to Canada, offer them for
less money to the Canadians, thus put
ting the Canadian beef trust to rout.

Those Of you who have been reading
the STANDARD regularly have noticed
the steady increase in the amount of
news it is offering from all parts of
the county. We are by no means salts
fled by the showing so far made; we
will not be until we can publish items
weekly from every district in the
county. But we want to call your par
ticular attention TO one thing and we
want you to tell your neighbors about
it: this is the only newspaper pub
lished in the county that carries such
news. And we want to say in pass
ing that we have as loyal staff of
correspondents throughout the county
as any newspaper could hope for.

How n Republican Looks ut 1t,
ont. Vernon Herald.)

(Mt. Vernon Herald.)
The governor is blaming the legisla-
ture for the high tax levy and the leg
islature is blaming the governor. Mean
while the innocent bystander is pre-
pairing to dig up" 1t is just possible
that the people themselves are some
what responsible for this state of af-
fairs. Many appropriations which are
directly the cause of the increased
levy were made in response to popular
demand. The old truism-"If we dance
we must pay the fiddler"-applies
here. Instead of obtaining appropria-
ton pledges from the next legislative
delegation why wouldn't it be a good
idea to send representatives to Olym-
pia with the express understanding
that we don't want a thing?

A party of seven persons came
through Packwood's pass from the Up
arrived in town yesterday. This
proves conclusively what we have SO
often asserted, that practical route
can be opened for communication be-
tween the two sections. We only need
a little enterprise.
We have had clear, cold weather the
past few days, with frosty nights.
The establishment of mint in the
Columbia river valley is now being
agitated by our contemporaries in Ore
gon. There is certainly more need for
a mint somewhere in the Columbia
river valley than there was at Pixies
Peak and in Nevada territory where
minis have already been established.
The schooner Sarah Newton sailed
Wednesday last with several head of
cattle for Seattle.
We notice by the Oregon papers that
Capt. Crawford of the overland escort
has reached his home in the Villa
mette valley. His trip over the plains
this season has been more than usu-
ally successful, not single casualty
having occurred to the emigration
from the Indians.
1t is stated in the Washington
Statesman that Mr.. T. p. Denny on
Dry Creek in Walla Walla county has
manufactured barrel of most excel
lent syrup this season from the "shor-
CHAM" or Chinese sugar cane. This is
certainly a step in the right direction.
The Walla Walla region is as well
suited for the growing of the sugar
cane as Illinois or Indiana, where a
large quantity of the syrup is manu-
featured.
The Chapman pirates have been
found guilty of treason and piracy.

The Republican newspapers, which
are trying so hard to convict Cover
nor Lister Of being responsible for the
extravaganza of the Republican legis-
lature, which he fought during the en-
tire session, and which passed bills
carrying heavy appropriations over the
governors veto, afford one of the anus
ing spectacles of the present day. 1t is
not often that one sees newspapers,
which are not newspapers but merely
party organs, so industriously trying
to convict themselves of imbecilitv or
dishonesty, as is being witnessed
among the Republican organs of Wash
ington today.

A movement is already on foot to
spring a statewide prohibition cam
paign, as provided by the last legisla-
ture, next year. Many of us may op-
pose prohibition, not believing it the
wisest means of advancing temper
ance, but we are not blind to the fact
that if the question is submitted to
the voters the state is certain to 20
dry, and by an overwhelming majori-

business will be wise if he begins at
an early date making preparations to
meet the changed conditions.
