PORT ANGELES ONCE WASHED AWAY
u. S. Customs House Was Located There In 1868
RIVER SWEPT BUILDINGS INTO PUGET SOUND

total destruction of the town and the
death of two prominent and highly re-
spected citizens Of that place." "
Blame Smith
A week later the same paper car
ried the further information that the
town of Port Angeles was only about
a. quarter destroyed and that new
buildings were already being erected
to take the places of those washed
away The attitude of some Of the
citizens who did not appreciate the
official acts of Mr.. Smith is reflected
in a paragraph of the second story.
eve regret to hear that there are a
few and we trust they are very few,
indeed, who are so heartless as to
hardly suppress their rejoicing that
the recent calamity has befallen Port
Angeles and that Mr.. Smith is severe
sufferer"
The customs house was later re-
turned to Port Townsend where it re-
NAMED until the immense develop
ment of trade caused it's removal to
Seattle. During Cleveland's first ad-
ministration an effort was made to
have it moved to Port Angeles Sec
ond time, but the investigation OF
Herbert Foote Beecher-son of the re-
nowned pastor-caused its retention
at Port Townsend. Beecher's tele-
gram to the department has gone
down in history along with other la
comic messages: "a freak of nature
made it, another freak will take it
away" referring no doubt to the sand
spit built by the Elwha river and
which forms the harbor.
His notion of the permanency of the
spit has been disproved by the naval
engineers looking for site for SUBJ
marine base. The early days when
a small amount of federal patronage
meant the rise or fall of city on the
Sound have passed and the various
municipalities have proven themselves
and rely on their basic industries and
the country back of them for their
prosperity However, there was a
time when the unpopular Mr.. Smith
moved for the prosperity of one par
ticular city and when his enemies rose
up to bless providence for taking an
unkind whack at him.

PIATT WONDER PUMPS

There are several reasons why you
should have a Piatt Wonder Pump on
your premises. Volume for volume, they
cost less, use less power need no prim-
ing, have no trouble making parts, and
they do more work, last longer and need
less attention than any other pump.
There is not one single reason why you
shouldn't buy a Piatt Wonder Pump.

De Ducks got the Farmers Corn

Ducks got all the farmers money
that he had received when he sold
his corn recently and trying to ex-
plain to local banker the necessity
of a loan to tide him over a lean period
the niceties Of market problems as
faced by the farmer now We're out
lined.
But" said the banker, 81 don't see
why you should want to borrow money
when you have just shipped your corn.
What did you do with the money!"
Well explained the farmer, Il
shipped the corn to market and ssld
it for So cents. They deducks freight
and that left 81 cents. They deducks
4 cent commits sion--that left 80; de-
ducks elevator charge--that left 27c;
deducks husking- that left 15c; de-
ducks hauling-that left SC; now de-
duck the hired mans wages from that
and you're darn sight better farmer

With the County Agents

Editors of rural weekly papers long
have realized the diversity of occupa-
ton that is forced upon them. The
editor often comments upon his work,
how he sweeps out the office and
builds the fire in the morning, chases
up and down the street picking up
an item of news here and piece of
job work there. Back to the 'office
where, he sets up the job in print and
writes up the news, feeds a jobber
press and stops to mail out statements
or sell a new subscription, working
twelve to twenty-four hours per day
and often taking his pay in potatoes or
roasting ears.
But in the matter of diversity of oc-
cupation the rural editor must pro-
claim the county agricultural agent
a half brother. The versatility of the
average county agent is becoming al
most tradition. He is expected to
answer, with some confidence, ques-
tons upon every known subject of
agriculture and livestock raising. 1t
is expected OF him to combine the
wisdom of practical experience with
the theoretical knowledge Of dozen
agricultural professors.
Between time the county agent must
be an organizer, a recreational leader,
photographer. an auctioneer, theatre
cal producer, bookkeeper and office
man, diplomat and daredevil automo-
bile driver. 4,
The wonder is that the average
county agent seems to fill the require
ments of his community. He will drive
25 miles to organize club and 20
miles further on will classify some
insect pest, that is damaging crops.
He will map out a plan for cam
paign in his office including hundreds
of people and write business letters
by the score. An hour later he will
be telling the fine points of silo con-
struction or tillage of land.
Nevertheless it is a testimonial to
the spirit of progress Of farming
community when their interest in agri-
cultural progress is great enough to
cause such demands to be made upon
the time of the county agent

Splendid Showing In Boys and Girls
Club Work

The club work at the fair this year
expressed real satisfaction with the
work of the boys and the interest and
enthusiasm on the part OF the parents.
We believe the club work will and
should grow in this county. Many see
is for the welfare of our boys and
girls. 1t is work worthy of sound
support and keen interest. It is an
education for all A visit with few
of the club members will surely con-
vince the most skeptical of its value
for the results in this county have
been fine. Not only are the boys and
girls eager in the work but equally
SO are the parents, the breeders and
the farmers. We all hope the work will
be continued on larger scale with
more members and more clubs next
year.
The winners in the four county
clubs were as follows
Sow and Litter Club James Carradus,
Masonyille, 1st; Robert Takin, Thorpe,
End. Philip Cole, Strawberry Point,
