LYNDEN BERRY MEN
GET FINE VALENTINE
Local Cannery Distributes Bonus
Checks OF One Cent A Pound On
Last Years Crop

Berry growers of the Lynden dist
rict received a beautiful little valen-
tine this week from Manager Cream
er Of the Lynden Cannery, who Wis.,
tied their farms and presented each
Of them with checks representing
bonus of one cent a pound on the
berries sold to the cannery in 1918.
The bonus was entirely unexpect-
ed. as the growers had already re-
ceived seven cents a pound for their
crop, an unusually high price. prac-
tically double that of previous years.
This was paid by the Lynden cannery
although their contracts with the
growers called for less than five cts.
Unusually good prices received for
the canned fruit enabled H. A. Bak-
er, owner of the cannery, to declare
the extra bonus for this week. AS
the cannery handled thousands OF
pounds of fruit, the valentine gift
reached a big sum.
Manager Creamer in making his
survey of the Lynden field found con-
ditions exceptionally promising for a
fine fruit year. and he looks for one
OF the best seasons in the history of
the industry.

COUNTY HAS GROWN,
SAY COMMISSIONERS
Boost WhatcOm To First Class And
Declare That Boundaries Include
More Than 10000

The population OF Whatcom Coun.
ty has increased more than twenty
thousand in the last three years. in
the opinion Of the county commiss-
toner's, who last week raised the
county from the fifth to the first
class A first class county must have
900 and more inhabitants.
The official census of 1910 gave
Whatcom County ASH people. and
a government estimate in 1915 raised
this to 62,9O4.
The commissioners decision to de-
clare this county of the first class
was made at the request of the coun-
ty officials. who in petition pre-
sented facts and figures that showed
to the commissioners that WhatcOm
was entitled to be advanced from the
fifth to the first class.
The petition, among other things,
showed that this county has more
than $4,000 persons. according to
tHc sCHOOf CcHSuS anu othCi uoeo.
The county has been in the fifth class
since 1905. although it has devel-
oped in a score of ways since that
time At the hearing on the petition
no protests were presented.
The reclassification of the county
naturally increases the salary roll,
the increase being close to $1,000.
Some Of the officials will receive $500
. year more than they have been get
ting. and the county attorney will be
paid 400 more. The commission
ers gain 5000 each, with the excep-
ton of J. B. Mcmillan, chairman,
who, because he is a holdover, can
not draw more than $500 during
the remainder of his term. The
other commissioners will be entitled
to $4,000 per annum. The coroner's
salary remains unchanged. All sal
aries under the reclassification date
from January IS. 1919, when the
present officials took Office.
The new and old salaries follow !:
Auditor, sheriff and engineer, $2400
each; old, $1,000 each. Clerk $4,000
old $1,000. County attorney, $4,000;
old, $500. Treasurer, $2500; old
$4,000. Assessor. $1,000; old, $500
County superintendent Of schools
$4,000; old. $500. Commissioners
$4,000; old, $500, if the supreme
court upholds Chairman Mcmillan
in his salary case, which has been ap-
pealed by the county auditor. Coro-
ner, $1,000. This makes an increase
Of $47O0 in salaries during Mr.. Nc
Millan's term, provided he wins in
his contention that he is entitled to
$500 per year instead of maximum
of $1,000 per year at the rate of IS
per day for 200 days. When his
term expires the increase will be $2OO
more. or $4,000.

St. Paul Letter

st. Paul, Nov. 17.-Special to the
Herald 1t is an open secret that the
Roosevelt drive fell far short of the
expectation of its managers. There
are many reasons for this. In the first
place, it was an unauspicious time. 1t
followed the great Salvation Army
drive, the Children's Preventorium
Hopital drive, and, in fact, there has
so many drives been pulled off recent
ly that the people are becoming
weary of SO much solicitation. The
promoters did not make a clear sue
cinct statement of what form the pro
posed memorial would take and people
are reluctant to part with their cash
unless they know just what Is going to
be done with it and how it is going to
be spent, and lastly but by no means
least, when man is dead, no matter
how good and great he was, or how
valuable his services have been to the
country, he is awfully dead, and the
world speedily loses interest in his
career and the great things he has
accomplished.
It was more than fifty years after
Washington's death before a fitting
monument was raised to his memory
and then the greater part of the fund
was raised by congressional appropria
tion. Many can remember how the
Mckinley memorial fund Jagged and
the proposed Garfield memorial fund
died a borning.
There is no question but that Theo.
