DAlltYINU IX COLVM1UA COUNTY. Those .who are best Informed upon conditions throughout Columbia county and upon the practical workings of the creamery and cheese business, agree that nowhere else In the Vnited States has nature more plainly Indicated the establishment of creameries than here. It la the Keueral verdict of such men that sooner or later, and the sooner the better for all con corned, dairying is bound to become oue of the lead lng Industries ot the county. Like mauy another iuductry of the present day dairying has boon evolved through an almost universal failure to a very great success. Like the poultry bust ness, the photography, like a hundred other things that might bo mentioned lu Illustration, dairying ts a success in the hands ot the man who does a number of seemingly Inslguificant things just exactly right. It Is a business of infinite and exacting detail The dairymen who would succeed must be liberal In application of hot water about cans, tables, machin ery and premises. And this extends In the broader sense, to the blood iu his. dairy cattle, pure strains of butter makers are the very corner stone of his success. Scrub cows can not be expected to malutain a successful dairy. That has been tried again and again. The result has been Invariable and -disheartening. This single cause has scored more failures In the dairy business than any other oue' mistake. Pure blooded stock costs more to start with It is true, but it eliminates the largest ele ment ot doubt in the whole problem ot dairying success. Some ot the greatest successes in dairying ever made lu the country are located in Minnesota, Michi gan. Iowa, Illinois and other states lyiug in tones that expensive stables must be built to shelter the stock and the cattle must be practically stall fed for halt the year or more. In those states, also, the growing season Is not more than half so long as tt is here. But in our county, the climate is so mild the year arouud that no considerable percentage of feed must be wasted in maintaining the animal heat necessary to the com fort and health of the cattle. Moreover, with the long growing season and proper rotation of crops. It is pos sible to make the land yield not one but two to four crops a year. No doubt here as elsewhere, the silo is destined to become a great factor in the dairyman's success. It may be justly questioned whether there is any section in the I'nited States where richer variety of ensilage crops can be produced. Farmers in this section are beginning to awaken to the fact that by feeding their crops they can make them yield a triple profit. It wo Id appear from whatever angle it is viewed, that it ever nature specifically planned a dairying dis trict, she had that line of business in her mind's eye when the lands of this district were being shaped. Bui if the farmers of our fertile county, as a whole, hare not awakened to the situation, some of the business men of St Helens hare. The new Com mercial Club is up and doing. The project of building a creamery in St. Helens has been given considerable publicity. Much has been said and written. Out of it all. one or two great facts appear to haTe been already established. One of these is the desirability, if not the absolute necessity of harmonious and coherent organisation among the farmers themselves. Such a co-operative orgaaiaation is neither visionary nor impossible. It has been effected and maintained in other places under more adverse conditions than here and there is no assignable reason it should not be here. WHAT SAY YOl With Columbia county on the verge of the.greatest development era of its history, is not the opportune time at hand when the various commercial organisa tions ot Columbia county should merge, so to speak. Into one great factor for the upbuilding of their county? We repeat the question, is not the time ripe for the clubs in every city and hamlet of the county to join hands, with every shoulder to the wheel, to push and pull together for a greater and better Co lumbia county? Who could forecast the successful outcome ot such a movement, one which without doubt would gain a momentum of greater prosperity. The citiient would be agreeably surprised at the patent results of intelli gent team work, putling together in tSe same direction. Cititecs of other counties have been drama closer together by this movement. They have become better cnuainted with each other and to become more closely associated is to End that our neighbor is not half as bad as we took him to be at Jong range.' Ii is a get together spirit a spirit that will win anywhere. Why not Columbia county? And now is the time to act. lUending ot organizations will reap the same harvests la our county as those in the cities. Such a movement, it tt would conceive its duties and mission aright, would act as a clearing hoase, the melting pot and refiner of vexed problem. It you please, the blender of Interests and peoples; the bruiser and extender of trade, rommerro and manu factures: the provider ot opportunities for labor; the sponsor for capital It could not only represent the Individual interests ot any one section bat work in perfect tartuoay for all the county. There ts great room tor sacfc an orgaateatica to branch out. Indus trial committees would be very essential. Their func tions should be to make careful industrial surveys ot the county; to Investigate the needs ot concerns al ready here and to render them every possible eacoar- agemeai ana support. to invite tcanafaetarerc tot visit the county and to place them ia loach with the business men; to maintain file ot information cowrie every possible inquiry as to industries and the coasty's resources, to publish aad circulate literature coat la in abeolut facts aad &gre ooaceraiag the cuaaly FA I It AM) FINAL. The final adjustment ot the differences existing be tween the contracting company and the county uris lng out ot construction work on Columbia Highway in this county, is a matter for congratulation tor all parties concerned. Viewed from every angle, the easiest way out ot the dilllculty was the best way out of It. Litigation has been avoided, liability has been forestalled, the contractors hovo been paid no more thaa was probably justly duo them and the county has no doubt received lu dollars mid cents all that tt paid for. This long drawn out controversy probably would never have come about had tt not been for tlio olllctal prolllgucy ot the State Highway Kngiiieer, Mr. llowlby. His deficiencies in preparing the final report and show ing on services performed by tlio contractors in this county nro flttluly shown here as they were lu every part of the Btato. For theso reasons Mr. llowlby's removal was requested. Incompetency characterized all his otllcial acts and complications of the most ditll- cult nature had to be overcome wherever his otllcial duties called him into service. The Important feature of the final adjustment is the fact that tho county has beeu relieved of nny financial responsibility which otherwise might have come about through tho litigation pending in tho Fed eral court against the contracting company and the county Jointly as Instituted by the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Hallway company for damages sustained to its roadbed and tracks through slides ot earth and rock and by other means arising out of faulty con struction. This was a point which was most carefully guarded throughout tho negotiations. Another feature of the situation arising out of the settlement Is the fact that it seems now that all ob stacles are removed and that construction may proceed uninterruptedly, at least, as far as funds are available for the work. In this connection It Is unfortunate that the allotted amount for this purpose ts limited to $S5.000, only about two-thirds of which can be used this year tor general highway construction purposes. But this is a stubborn fact, a condition over which no one seemed to have any control and a situation which is being met squarely by the authorities. This fund will lie expended to the limit this year, when, it being within the province of the contract and the court to discontinue operations and .the contract if deemed advisable. The remainder of the fund, about $25,000, has been set aside for bridge construction and rocking, also to be utilised this year. The attitude of the court has been fair throughout all the negotiations leading up to this settlement, the foremost object, however, being at all times to safe guard the public interest, and that for the present. uimculties have been surmounted and obstacles re moved ts matter for general congratulation. NOT BL11 ITXC. It is unfortunate that our German friends are en tertaining the delusion that the American eovemm.nt is bluffing in its protest concerning the Lusitania out rage, and seeks to quibble over the situation by inaugurating long drawn out diplomatic nroeeedinr Ignoring all the salient features of the American note. oermany indulges in some platitudes and se-'j to justify her actions through the fact that the ar-.i. complained of were committed by Germany, whicn acknowledges no obligation save that of German ne cessity. It is unfortunate that the German government u-.s adopted this policy instead of meeting the issue i;h frankness and candor. Public sentiment in the In'ted States is inflamed to such a degree that the situation is involved in extreme gravity. There can be no reces sion from the American position, for it Is predicated upon the principles of right and iustice. n,i h.i there is a general desire that extreme eventualities may be avoided, there is going to be no shirking ot the responsibility on the part of the Ic'.ted States, no matter what Germany's answer may be. Germany must not only promise the guarantee. demanded b President Wilson, but give them or sue will Ur another crisis It may be the Cerman eorersniem fcHi t-,. country is so hemmed ia by her adversaries tht cannot be reached by the Cnited States in the exaction of reparation for the outrages that have been com mitted upon the Americas oeonle and rr.ri.-.n ests, but those who are familiar with the situation. say there are several methods by which Germany could be reached and reparation exacted.
