a FEW SHORT MINUTES FOR REVERE.

This is a workaday world there is no time for
dreaming. This is a matter-of-fact age; there is
NO time for musing. This is a e-as-bref-aspos
xible period there is no time for building beaut
full castles in faraway Spain, observes matter
0f-fact newspaper, which prompts the Puyallup
Tribune to respond
That is to say, there seems to be no time for
dreaming and musing and caste-building But
there should be. Maybe not many of the hours
can be spent in idling, but we should give few
minutes each day to the heart-songs Of long ago.
Relax bit and, hurrying over the hills in Boy
willie, recall the roll of the old court, think of the
rOsy apples you found in the neighbor's orchard
and the rosy peaches you saw on the cheeks of the
little girl next door, Live few minutes each
day in the castle you builded in sunny Spain,
spend short while musing of the eventide when
ali the world was young. Do this, and the world
win seem brighter and happier and your days in
the land of the living will be multiplied and
frightened thereby
Lapse little into wholesome reverie, get
away from yourself and the world and your wor-
Eies and dream again the dreams that made hope
spring high when mind and body were young
and enthusiasm strong-mayhap the grind
Will not seem so hard. the road so long and hard
=And hily, the plans far from fruiton. In no
Other way can you get to know yourself as you
should

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
REAL WORK OF DEVELOPMENT.

The test at the Crecent well week ago con-
WINGED the most skeptcal that there oil in
the bottom Of that pioneer well, high grade
Fxarafine OIL the highest grade in the United
States outside of the Pennsylvania field, and the
reports from the well since, the work of put
xing down the casing and cleaning out the cavc-in
proceeds add to that conviction the further one
shat the discovery well will be commercial
saf considerable quantity Not an oil man-rx-
pert, geologst or driller-has come back from
xhat well with any other statement than that it
will be commercial producer, the only difference
of opinion being as to the extent of the produc.
fion
AS the Ena Chronicle very well puts it:
1.-THE skeptics all now say that the oil exists
but that it does not lie in sufficient quantities to be
commercially profitable. They may be right or
wrong No one say. But it is altogether
rrobable that there is oil in great and paying
quantities in this part of Washington. Most peo
pie will look upon the bright side of the matter
and indulge in the fond hope that this is great
oil field. The fact of the matter is that no one
4can look into the ground and thus far there has
been no reason discovered why God should have
1t in for this country. Therefore oil may well
exist here and the showing that the Crescent well
.snade would lead to firm belief in that fact"
If the hopes, the predictions come true, no man
iran forsee the wonderful strides Olympia and
Thurston county and all of Southwest Washing
ron for that matter will take with the proper de-
wHlopment Of the prospective field. 1t would be
IDLE to hazard any such prediction here. We
all know what oil has done for other cities, other
eOnnties and other states, and when all signs
ROint to the production of an exceptionally high
&rade oil we can ourselves guess what it will
znean for Olympia and Thurston county.
With the first steps SO well taken, with the
prospects SO promising and the indications Of a
barge field SO strong, we should not lie back and
wait for things to happen but should bestr
SELVES to make them about. That the de-
velopment Of this field seems now to be assured on
BROAD and Immediate lines should not be mat
Ter of congratulaton so much as stimulus to
carry the work forward as far and as rapidly as
re can. 1t is only such development that will
prove to us the extent and the value of the great
wealth we now believe we have. We should not
put stumbling blocks in it's way-we should give
4 boost whenever we can.

No one who heard Emery G. Williamson ad-
dress the crowd at the Crescent well last week
could doubt his sincerity, his earnestness or his
truthfulness. This newspaper has the utmost
faith in him. Without him the chances are that
that well would not have been drilled; without
his logged determination his straightforward
ness, the obstacles might not have been overcome
To him, therefore, chiefly belongs the credit of the
discovery of the local oil field credit that should
be most cheerfully given. He knew what he had
to do and he did it. Greater praise cannot be
given.

BEES PRODUCED
$4,000 LAST YEAR

Honey to the value of $4,000 was
produced in the Imperial valley the
past year, the bee colonies being
valued at 100000 according to a re-
port made to the county supervisors
by Bee Inspector A. F. Wagner, who
asks that more deputies be appoint
ed as there are 1000 colonies that
have not been inspected yet. His re-
port follows:
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors
l herewith hand you a report OF
work done by myself and deputies from
December 1st, 1918 to June 1st, 1914.
Number of colonies inspected 6437.
Total number of days at work 80,
an average of seventy-eight and one
half colonies per day. OF this num-
ber 80 were found infected with Amer
ican Foul Brood. A sample of dis
eased brood was sent to Washing
ton, which was suspected of being
European Foul Brood but reported
back as being Sac Brood, which is not
considered dangerous.
There is not single case of Eu-
ropean Foul Brood existing in the
county. At this writing all the col
onies that were affected with Amer
lean Foul Brood were either treated
or destroyed as provided by law. No
county charges have been made for
this as the owners did the work them
selves. We have found considerable
paralysis through the valley, in one
case o great many colonies were lost
through this disease. l have warned
apiarists to be on the lookout for this
as it may become menace to the in
dustry. The apiarists of the county
have, with one exception, assisted me
as much as possible in my work, thus
materially reducing the expense of in
spection.
There remains in the county unin-
spected approximately 11,OO0 colonies.
1t will be impossible to do all this
work without several more deputies
which will not be done unless absolute
ly necessary. Without a special call
no more inspection will be done till
August and September. Imperial
County ranks we'll up with the lead
ing counties in the state for the num-
ber of colonies of bees and the pro-
duction of honey The total amount of
the irvestmcnt in bees reaches over
$100,G00.00 and the output each sea-
son ever $75,0O0.00.
Respectfully submitted,
A. F. WAGNER,
Inspector of Apiaries.

FRATERNAL INSURANCE
HANGS IN BALANCE
Omitted Press Day Service)

Toledo, Ohio, June 15.-Fraternal
history was in the making and the
future of fraternal insurance in the
United States hung in the balance
here today when the Head Camp of
the Modern Woodmen of America met
in tri-ennial convention.
Not only the million odd neigh
bors" of the society watched with
keenest interest the fight that was
sure to come over the question of
raising the rates of insurance, but
persons holding membership and
policies with other fraternal insurance
societies realized that the outcome of
the contest would determine whethe,
they too were eventually to break
away from the old low rate plans and
join in movement toward the in
surance schemes figured out by insur-
ance actuarieS.
In the fight today the Head Camp
officers stood al'rayed against fac
ton of the delegates coming chief
ly from the Mississippi Valley, head
ed by E. S. Smith of Springfield, I'll
Smith will be the 'insurgent" candi-
date for Head Consul, the chief office
of the Head Camp, opposing A. R.
Talbot of Rock Island, ILL.,, where the
Head Camp is located.
1t was generally understood that
the rate fight would be largely decid-
ed by the election of the head camp
officers. For the "insurgents" have
declared that here there shall be no
submission to the proposal for rate
increases, the Head Camp is firm, and
the ''insurgents" declare they will
make sure of their position by cap
turing the offices.
