BRANDIEDCHERRY NOW MARASHINO NO USE LICKING YOUR LIPS OVER JUICE FROM BOT TLED FRUIT Canneries Paint Cherries Like Girls' Cheeks and Perfume Them Ditto There was a time when the par lor "devil" thought he was getting a kick out of the branded cherry he found on top of the fruit salad he balanced on his knee while he was trying to tell some bored girl how wonderful he was, but that time is back in the dim and distant past when girls wore ears and the W. C. T. C. had a real reason for exist ence. Now the strongest thing about the cerise colored fruit is the bottle —or the nerve of the grower for charging the price he does —for they are put up in Eugar and glucose, in other words, syrjp. The original maraschino was an Italian product. The fruit was bot tled in a combination of the fer mented juice of the ■sour cherry and honey—any one finding It necessary will be excused here while he wipes his eyes—but the commercial possi bilities of the goods became too great and the canneries have reduced it to a point of grinding them out by the case. Experts down at the Puyallnp can nery are working on the possibilities of Washington grown Royal Anne cherries and are turning out a very good line of Maraschino article. Six or seven tons of cherries are worked up in this country every year and an effort is being made to make the cation self-sufficient along that line. When it comes to the actual proc ess of changing the pale and more or .ess incipid Royal Acne into the bril liant bottled article Waiter A. Varry. the chemical expert who is respon sible for that satisfaction found in eating the Puyailup products, smiles and changes the subject to the fu ture of loganberry juices. He aamits that they do something to the fruit other than let the cannery girls eat It, but it was necessary to go to the public iibrary to discover that the cherries are bleached —generally with suiphurous acid and ealt —and then are dyed with coal tar dyes. There is a tariff now which makes the importation of cherry trees from Italy too expensive for the average horticulturali3t, but efforts are being made to have it removed without, however, lifting the bars on the bot tled fruit. If this ia done it Is ex pected that more of the real Italian fruit will be grown here in place of the Royal Acnes. PUREBRED LIVESTOCK Farmers Barking Movement to Improve Breed of Herds and Flocks in Washington. Helping toll the death knell to scrub stock, 155 dairy and livestock breeders in the state of Washington have agreed to raise nothing but purebred stock on their farms. What com county leads in the campaign with forty farmers cooperating; Clallam has twenty-six, King twenty one, Lewis nineteen, Kittitas sixteen, Snohomish thirteen, with Klickitat, Okanogan, Grays Harbor, Stevens, Pa cific and Yakima following in re spective order. The farmers who have enrolled in the purebred livestock work, now own 5,132 head of dairy cows, beef cattle, horses, swine and sheep, of which 1892 head are purebred, with only 295 head of scrubs. The bal ance of the stock owned are grades and cross-breeds. Poultry tops the list with 38,790 purebred birds out of 40,806 enrolled, Poultrymen believe in purebred stock and are pushing the use of it as much as possible. The campaign for better stock was originated by the United States De partment of Agriculture in Decem ber, 1919, and has been conducted in this state through the extension serv ice of the State College and the coun ty agents. The campaign, while not on the whirlwind type, is one that Is gaing ground and means much to the dairy and livestock Interests of the state. OLYMPIA, April 30: Preliminary plans for commencing work on the Legislative Building, the third of the new group of state buildingß, have been postponed until fall by the state capitol committee. The committee approved a report on the Insurance Building by Archi tects Wilder and White, and author ized the payment of $56,651.87 addi tional to the $823,000 estimated to cover the building, which is the sec ond of the group and which is now occupied, this sum to be paid to the contractors, Pratt & Watson, Seattle. The additional cost was Incurred when the commission ordered the fourth floor of the building com pleted. Nature might properly avenge her self upon humanity for its abuse of faces by setting them inflexibly in the glum expression into which habit has shaped them. 1 THE HORROR OF THE SEA-FIRE A remarkable photograph of the burning of the Tokuyo Maru off the northern coast of Oregon. Eight persoife lost their lives in the disaster.

Forty years ago thousands of men whne up to the same place pre pared to take out millions of dol lars. The men who went up there were fooled. There are those who say that the City of Seattle is being fooled. As the Mexican says with the so suggestive shrug of his shoul ders, "Quien Sabe." It wa3 in the winter of IHT.) that Jack Kawley, Charley Pressentin and Otto Clemment came down from Ruby creek with native gold to back their announcerient that they had real diggings on the upper waters of the Skagit river in the Cascades. And then, as in the California dis covery before and the Klondyke, Nome and Tananana discoveries since, came the deluge. There were no railroads, or any other kind of roads in Skagit county at that time except the few from ranch to ranch on the LaConner fiats. There were no trails for horses. The only ways to get any where were to go by canoe where there was a river to float it, or to walk where there yas not. There were steamboats on the Sound and they were pressed into service to carry the crowds up the Skagit as far as navigation permit ted. Beyond steamboat range rttfts and canoes were towed (rom shore by long lopes and mar, power, any way to get supplies up Into the foot hills. More than 4000 men overran the upper reaches of the Skagit that summer and prospected the Ruby and all adjoining creeks. Bed rock was dug for and eagerly scanned, but no gold. Ruby City at the mouth of the creek had boomed and the creek been lined with cabins, but toi noavall. Colors there were—and are | —and occasionally by dint of much labor a little dust was collected to gethnr. But for the men who had gone in looking for fortunes there was nothing to do but get back to Seattle again, as quickly and cheap ly as possible. Most of the men were "broke." They had spent all they had getting together their grubstake and moving it up on the creek. The "rush" had been the making of Seattle and start ed a building boom, a forerunner of the one that followed the discovery of gold on the Klondyke. While it had been hard work poling the ca noes up the rapid river it was like sliding down hill to come back and the canoe loads of men made a rush for the DaConner afrms to do the harvesting and get money enough to last them over the winter. Others went to the logging camps. While coming down tho river was easy and swift, it was also danger ous. At Portage the canoes were un loaded and carried around the rapids. One boat load of men in too much of a hurry to play the game safe., wetn through the lower rapids, II of them, and the heavily loaded boat was swamped and six of the men drowned. That was one of the sad features of the summer rush. The following summer, with a speed that might have been that of i teh recent postal administration, the government decided to have mail de ' livered at Ruby City and let a con ; tract to have the mail carried into , the mountain*. Adulph Behrens sub | let this eon tract and for thu year climbed up over Sourdougb. moun tains to the abandoned hamlet where the few miners who wo«t<fn't, or couldn't, let go held our. a forlorn hope-.. The mail contract called for de livery twice a week, hut it took Mr. Behrens ten days to make the round trip poling up she river from Mt. Vernon and cftmbing over the poor trail into Ike hißs. Next year he signed a fOor-year contract to deliv er the mail as far as Birdteeye, just abovt> Hamilton. The federal government again took notice of the gold rush by sending an engineer to clear out the Skagit ! river. A big raft was built at Lyman and on this the engineer and his help rs floated down to the Soundu pulling out submerged logs anf snags, blowing rocks and making thy? river safe for navigation. A couple of men ! came along while thjs raft was being ■ built and asked for work. The en : gineer took them oo and then the question of pay arose. The engineer i offered them $2.50 a «aiy. the}' to pay i their pro rata shara- of the cost of the food. This rate was acceptable, and as a matter of fact, was good pay in those times, but the men wanted to be assured that they would get their money when the work was done. "Well," the engineer said, "we are taking our chances on the govern ment and 1 suppose you will have to do the -same." Their opinion of the government was apparently much the same as that held by some of the red breth ren at the present time, for they decided against the good job on the raft for a chance to work in the har vest, fields at less per day and hard er work. It was planned then to have the headwaters of navigation at Sauk City, or Rockport. The rush after gold served one purpose in the opening up of the eastern end of Skagit county to set tlers. When Mr. Behrens got his four-year contract to carry the mail he went before the county commis sioners and got them to appropriate some money to cut horse trai'.s- into the upper country. These trails grad ually developed into roads and peo ple went into the valleys to take up their farms and build mills to cut the immense fir trees into lumber. But even after the upper country was fairly well settled most of the business witSi the towns on the Sound was carried on by canoes and if a man did not have a canoe, or know how to keep> one of them right side up, he had to hire some one to carry him. "I don't see any canoes when I go up there now," said Mr. Behrens. who recently returned from Olympia. where he represented the Queen An ne Hill district of Seattle in the leg islature. "There is a railroad now up post Goodell's landing, where we used to leave the canoes and rafts and shoulder our packs. It seems strange after all these years that this city should be developing the Skagit for power. I used to look at that beautiful stream where it flows through the gorge and marvel at the possibilities for developing power there. That was long beofre big hydro-electric plants, too, but the force was there and I was strongly impressed by it." World Items d,,. lllt< **~?*r .../Mi,,,,,,,!, supreu.. HfKtSTOK PA.!
