Mrs. LittIetOn's Mission

Exerting every effort at her COM
mand by the expenditure of time and
money to accomplish self-imposed
mission-that of acquiring for the
nation the birthplace, home and tomb
of Thomas Jefferson, at Monticello,
Albemarle, county, Virginia-Mrs.
Martin W. Littleton, of New Yerk, is
waging one of the most remarkable
campaigns in which any woman in
this country has been engaged.
Beginning her work alone a little
more than two years ago and insplr-
ed by no other sentiment than that
of preserving for future generations
of Americans the home of the author
of the Declaration of Independence as
a national shrine, Mrs .Littleton has
awakened public sympathy for the
movement in every State in the Union.
With nearly one million signatures
to her memorial to Congress to pro-
vide for the acquisition of Monticello,
and backed by the approval of lead
ing Senators and Representatives, II
is now reasonably certain that ner
mission will be accomplished within
the next few months.
Mrs. Littleton is native OF the
south. She possesses remark kaDie
force of character and executive cap
acity of high order. Her husband
is a well known lawyer of New forK'
who served in Congress in the session
of 1911-12. It was when she accom-
panied her husband to Washlng Ton
in March 1011, that the idea OF sas-
ing Monticello for the nation enteieo
her mind, and she wrote an articie
for a newspaper in which shc for tne
arst time gave expression 70 tne
views which later she issued ~ sns

100 Grangers
Held Session
DELEGATES FROM WHATCONr.
SKAGIT AND SAN JUAN CON-.
VENE AND MAY FORM TRI.
COUNTY GRANGE-WILL AID.
JOURN TOMORROW NIGHT.

Changers from Skagit, San Juan
and Whatcom counties are gathered
in the old G. A. R. hall in this city
Jan. s., attending the regular quarter
ly session of the Whatcom county
Pomona Grange. Fully one hundred
grangers were at the hall this morn
ing and the number is expected to in
crease greatly before the sessions
close tomorrow night.
The joint meeting of the grangers
today and tomorrow is for the pur-
pose of getting acquainted and for
discussing matters of interest to the
three Northwest counties. There is
a possibility that a tri-county Pomona
grange will be organized before the
present meetings are closed This is
not one of the objects of the Joint
meeting but such plan is being dis
cussed today.
A number of resolutions were SUBJ
mitted by various grangers today but
no action will be taken on these until
probably tomorrow, after some in
vestigation and consideration. The
grangers hold their sessions behind
closed doors.
The old G. A. R. hall, where the
grangers are in session, is the first
courthouse building in Whatcom
county and was the first brick struct-
ure in the city. It exterior has been
coated with cement to keep the aged
brick from crumbling away.-Bell-
ingham Herald.

Postal Department
After Frauds

The postoffice department, follow
ing the precendent set during the ad-
ministration of Pres. Taft proposes to
keep up the campaig inaugurated
then against the use of the mails for
the purpose of swindling investors.
It will deny the use of the mails to
any concern apparently engaged In
swindling operations. So
The estimate is that the American
people have been swindled by the get
rich-quick concerns out of 1929, ,OOO,-
900 in the last two years. This is q
considerable falling off at that, from
the records made before the postof-
flee authorities entered upon their
active campaign against swindlers OF
this particular type. During the past
administration the postoffice depart-
ment did it's most effective work, in
justice, in bringing successful prose-
cution against those who had de-
frauded people through the use of
the mails. 1t was through such a
prosecution as this that Julian Haw-
thorne, the writer, was convicted and
sentenced to term in federal peni-
tentiary.
The present postmaster general be-
lieves, however, that criminal pro-
ceedings are too slow to reach the
evil. A fraud order" promptly cuts
off the use of the mails to the swind-
ler, and he no longer has opportunity
to reach his victims or to secure mon
ey from them.
There is an obvious objection to-
too drastic and widespread use of
this power which is one to be handled
with the finest discretion. The judi.
cement of one official, which maybe
mistaken, is sufficient to deprive apv'
person or concern of the use of the
mails and might result, if in fact MIS-
taken, in the ruin of legitimate
concern, which would be left without
any recourse whatever. It is a dan
gerous power, liable to abuse. The
process of the criminal law, even if
slower, rarely works such injustice
and unrequitable injuries as may fol-
low a mistaken use of the power to
deny the use of the mails to an indi-
vidual who has come under the sus-
picions of the postal authorities.

Fish Industry
Is Growing

The extraordinary growth of the
Pacific coast fisheries is shown in part
by the statement compiled by the
Puget Sound and Alaska Gamers
association, showing the magnitude
and value of the salmon pack of the
past year. It appears by this re-
port that the actual value of the out
put of salmon from the Pacific coast
canneries during the past year was
$35, 100000 in round numbers. Of
this amount the pack on Puget sound
was valued at $13,329,f68, exceeding
all previous figures by nearly five
and one-half million dollars.
While the packing of salmon is the
leading department Of the fishing In
dustry of this state, it is not the
whole thing by any means. Washing
ton is rapidly taking leading place
among American states in it's fishing
industry generally outside of the sal
mon pack. It has a large and stead
lily expanding fleet engaged in the Off
shore fisheries for halibut, and in the
cod fisheries of Bering Sea. Train
loads of fresh fish are shipped from
Seattle, Tacoma and Anacortes to
points in the Middle West and East.
Halibut shipped from Puget sound
are sold in great quantities on the
Boston market, the leading fish mar
ket of the world.
Few people are aware of the fact
that Massachusetts is the only state
which has more money invested in
vessels of the fishing fleet than has
the state of Washington and that this
state leads all others in the Union
in the amount of money invested in
the apparatus for fish capture.
AS it stands today, fishing is the
third industry of Importance in the
state of Washington, the first being
taken by agriculture, the second by
lumber, and, with the exception of
wheat alone, no single agricultural
product of this state exceeds in val
ue the output of the fisheries, taking
the year 1913 as the example.-Se-
