The Official Paper or San Juan County. THURSDAY. DEC. 15. 1898. SOME FACJTS AM) SUGGESTIONS. A Whatcom dispatch to the Post. Intelligencer says that about 10,000 boxes of apples have been shipped from the Nooksacfc valley this fall in addi tion to large quantities from other parts of the county, and that 1,000 boxes have just been purchased for shipment to the Hawaiian islands. And it is further noted that buyers from British Columba have recently been in the county buying all the apples they could find. In the eastern part of the state the demand is reported equally as good, many car loads having been shipped to the eastern states, where the crop this year was very nearly a failure. Small shipments to China and Japan are oc casionally noted and are encouraging evidence that efforts are being made to work up an "organized appetite" for the king of fruits in the Orient. With rapid and reasonably cheap means of transportation to the interior of Alaska, which will soon be afforded, there is sure to be a lame demand among the miner*, tradesmen and adventurers along the mighty Yukon for the fruits which can be supplied in abundance from the orchards of Puget Sound. Because of the adverse climatic condi tions it will hardly be possible to work up much of a market in the far north for fresh fruits, but for the evaported products it seems practically certain that there will be a very large market in Alaska within a very few years. Few, if any, of us realize what a tre mendous impetus recent events have giyen to the development of commerce between the United States and the Orient, or the rapidity with which Puget Sound is becoming the gateway of a new and mighty trade which is destined to build up great cities on its shores, affording a valuable home ma: ket for the varied products of our farms. At best the total arable area of Westeru Washington is small as com pared with the large population which favorable commercial and climatic con ditions are almost certain to attract to the chief cities within the next quarter fit a century, and even the next decade is likely to witness such a dispropor tion in the increase of city and country population iv the Sound counties as to have a very appreciable effect upon farm values. And there will, of course, be a largely increased demand for un improved lands that will admit of profitable cultivation when cleared, grubbed and drained. The cost of such preparation must of necessity be an important pastor Jin determining the Value of the "wild" land for agricul tural purposes. San Juan county offers many induce ments to bomeseekers of moderate means, and if these inducements were made known to the thousands of in- dustrious and progressive people who are coming to this state in search of rural homes there can be no doubt that it would result in a very material in crease in our population. The Isl ander has so frequently urged the im- portance of concerted, systematic and persistent efforts to advertise the county abroad, that some of its readers may possibly regard every repetition of the suggestion as something of a chest put, but even if it is it can do no harm to offer it occasionally so long as it is sound. The conditions which we have v mentioned make it seem particularly timely now, and the beginning of the pew ye ar, now so near at hand, would be a most excellent time to begin a little intelligent missionary work on pur own behalf. We cannot afford to let Whatoom county, which seems to have found special favor lately in the eyes of some of the professors of the state agricultural college, step in and parry off our laurels as the leading fruit growing county in Western Washing ton, as well as the leader in sheep rais ing, as it seems likely to do if we don't "get a move on us" soon. Orcas isl and fruit took twenty-three premiums at the Whatcom fair, but it could hardly be expected that the Whatcom people would direct particular atten tion to this fact when they sent their fruit to the Omaha exposition, where it was awarded a number of premiums. It is a pretty good idea to bare in mind that "the I^ord helps those who help themselves." It is computed that the total annual p >mmeroe of the world bag now reached the high figure of about $17,000,000,000, in which the United Btatea is Inter ested to the extent of over $1,800,000, --000, or, in round number*, n per cent In 1880-1896 the increase in the value of the exports of twenty-two leading pountrlef was 30 per cent During this period the exports of the United States increased by more than 30 per cent, and those of lta principal commercial rlTato, the United Kingdom, France and Germany, showed gains of }QJ, 4}, and 13 per cent respectively. In the percentage of increase in general ex- ports the United States today holds first place, with Germany second. The labors of the Spanish-American peace commission were concluded at Paris with the signing of the treaty last Saturday evening by which Spain n linguisbes the last vestige of her sov ereignty on the western continent and transfers to the United States the most valuable of her Asiatic possessions. As soon as the treaty shall have been rati fied by the senate Uncle Sam will have to expand whether he wants to or not. Future caricatures should represent him as a trifle more corpulent. A Settled Question and * Lost Cause. It happens that the states that will be represented in the senate by sound money Republicans comprise not only a considerable numerical majority of the forty-five commonwealths of the Union, but also include probably more than two-thirds of the popula tion of the country and more than three-fourths of its wealth. The politi cal complexion of the United States senate—with its six-year tenure and its plan for retiring one-third of the members every two years—is not sub ject to very rapid fluctuations. Alan* suit of this year's elections the free silver program as a practical policy of the United States is blocked for at least six or eight years. Many of those who had their serious doubts about the gold standard have at least been dis cerning enough to perceive that un certainty in the monetary system of the United States is exceedingly detri mental to the prosperity of the country. After the election of two years ago we did not hesitate to declare that for practical purposes the cause of free sil ver had been placed on the shelf along with other lost causes, and that the best thing in the world to do was to accept the existing monetary standard, raise crops, carry on business, and con sider that the period of good times had made its advent. All this was true enough two years ago, although many people denied it. There will not be so many to deny it now. We are more likely in this country to turn the re public into a monarchy inside the next half dozen years than to change the gold standard for the monetary system advocated in the Chicago plat form of 1896. This is merely an obser vation touching things as they are, and without the slightest reference to what one might prefer. For the pres ent and for some years to come the cause of free silver in the United States is thoroughly and hopelessly defeated. Surely there can be no transcendent virtue in stubbornly denying a fact that is as patent as the rising of the sun. —From "The Progress of the World," in the American Monthly R - view of Reviews for December. Regardless Of Age. The kidneys are responsible for more sickness, suffering, and deaths thau any other organs of the body. A majority of the ills afflicting people today is traceable to kidney trouble. It prevades all classes of society, in all climates, regardless of age, sex or con dition. Th^lVytnptoms of kidney trouble are unmistakable, such as rheumatism, neu ralgia, sleeplessness, pain or dull ache in the back, a desire to urinate often day or night, profuse or scanty supply. Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in urine are signs of clogged kidney?, causing poisoned and germ-filled blood. Some times the heart acts badly, and tube casts (wasting of the kidneys) are found in the urine, which if neglected will result in Bright's Disease, the most dangerous form of kidney trouble. All these symptoms and conditions are promptly removed under the influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. It has a world wide reputation for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. No one need belong without it as it is so easy to get at any drug store at fifty cents or one dollar. You can have a sample bottle of this wonderful discovery, Swamp-Root, and a book telling all about it. both sent to you absolutely free by mail. Send your adderss to Dr. Kilmer &Co., Binghamton, X. V., and kindly mention that you read this liberal offer in The Islander. A Fleshy Consumptive Did you ever see one? Did you ever hear of one ? Most certainly not. Con sumption is a disease that invariably causes loss of flesh. If you are light in weight, even if your cough is only a slight one, you should certainly take Scott's Emuslion of cod liver off mitth hypo pbosphitcs, " No remedy is such a perfect prevent ive to consumption. Just the moment your throat begins to weaken and you find you are losing flesh, you should begin to take it. ' And no other remedy has cured so many cases of consumption. Unless you are far advanced with this disease, Scott's Emul sion will hold every in ducement to you for a perfect cure. ■. All «c and $i. B Bowni t cCmUtj[K i Y^ i NOTICE FOB PUBLICATION.
