1T OUGHT TO BE BUMPED

A dispatch told us last Saturday that the
Humboldt steamship company had cancelled the
selling of the boat for no other reason than that
which is contained in order from the Gov
elncr, whereby protection against infectious
diseases is provided to Alaskans.
If this action Of the company shows any,
thing, it shows how little it cares for the fulfill
ment of its contracts Evidently a contract
with Manager Kash is as binding as treaty
proved to be with the Kaiser--a mere scrap at
paper to be thrown aside under the least pre-
tense. While the company may not have had
signed contracts to deliver goods or passengers
Of any ports in Alaska so long as the company
is public carrier, whoever orders goods sent on
its ship, constitutes an implied contract on the
part of the company to do so. provided it has
the accommodation. For that company to
leave goods in the warehouses at Seattle ordered
shipped it's boat in order to avoid possible in
convenience, is an ac5 that demands reprisals.
Heretofore, that company has always been
generously patronized, but it should be bumped"
hereafter, and bumped harshly by every business

Marketing the Citrus Crop

A great deal has been said a.
bout the marketing of the citrus
crop this season, whether or not
good prices would prevail and if
transportation facilities would be
ample to get the fruit to the mar
Ikets. T. Il. Skelly, who recently
made a trip through the East and
Central West, reports the outlook
very bright for good prices and
better transportation this year
than last.
California has only 1000 cars
of Navel oranges, says Mr.. Sicily,
the crop being SIS per cent of that
of two years ago. Last season
they had only Is per cent Of the
crop Of the preceding season. Por-
to Rico, on account Of the lack of
fertilizer, has only so per cent of
the crop she had last season. He
believes that if the fruit is put on
the market at the proper time
satisfactory prices will prevail
Throughout the season.

National Farmers Congress Will
Meet in Jacksonville in
December

The National Farmers Con-
gress that meets in Jacksonville
RDec. B., A and 5, will be attended
by many of the most distinguish
ed agriculturists in the United
States. This is a most important
coming event and problems of
deep intereset to Florida farmers
will come before the sessions.
Florida's agricultural develop
ment is practically in its infancy.
With resources and soil unsur-
passed, this state should be the
Nations greatest and most pro-
d uctive garden.
& The sessions being held during
the State Fair furnishes an oppor-
tunity for visual impressions of
Florida's wonderful opportuni-
ties which will unquestionably a.
rouse great interest, and prove of
untold benefit to the state. Jack
sonville is already preparing for
great crowds of agriculturists and
Florida farmers should avail
themselves Of this opportunity to
see for themselves the possibili-
ties of the soil, and hear discus
sions that will advance alike the
individual and the, Common
wealth's interests. The congress
is National ia Its character, but
Florida can derive untold bene-
fits therefronl.
Those in charge will use every
effort to make the occasion a gil
gantic success, and B. X. Hama
fourde, director of the sessions,
is also the general-manager Of the
State Fair, which insures an oc-
casion that will eclipse anything
Of its kind ever held in Florida.
