Ic came upon a midnight clear, that glorious Shepherd Song, proclaiming "Peace on Earth ana Goodwill to Men, for unto us is born this day in the City of David, a Savior who is Christ the ;Lord," and adown the misty aisles of nineteen centuries of tim that same swelling anthem has re-echoed with each recurring Christmastide, filling with joy and gladness the hearts of count less millions and awakening in every heart the desire to emulate the Three Wise Men, who, upon the day of the Nativity, brought gifts to the Christ chili. " So, at this happy season, there is the same unselfish spirit of giving, the same desire to bring peace and good will, the same glad outburst of melody and the same feasting and merriment that marked the birthmorn of the Babe of Bethlehem. Not lapse of time nor the fever ish race for power, position and wealth has ever' had the least ef fect upon the pure spirit of iriv ing or dimmed the memory of that day so long held in hallowed remembrance. In palace and hovel, on land and sea, among rich and poor, exalted and hum Me, this is one day when all hu manity meets on one common level and gives for 1 the pure pleasure of giving, and feasts because no dther anniversary bears with it so strong an incen tive to good cheer. ' ' j Of all the customs and observ ances among the nations which have grown out of and become as holi-day, the mythical Kriss Kringle of the ancient Dutch and the joyous Yuletide celebration of Merrie England hold foremost- place, because the first symbolizes the spirit of giving gifts and the latter the realization of the bless ing of meeting and feasting with friends and loved ones. Other days, even of national import, may cease to be observed and other lives sink into oblivion as time wings its remorseless '. flight and the wreck of empires blots history from memory, but - the celebration of Christmas day will go on and on and the coming of the Christ child will be remem bered and sacredly kept so long as humanity shall . exist and Christianity endure and that will be until the heavens shall roll to gether as a scroll and the earth melt with fervent heat, even un til time is lost in eternity. wniie an tne world now gives out its gladsome greeting, so the Gazette extends to all its read ers, patrons and friends its best wishes for a Merry Christmas. AN IMPORTANT INDUSTRY. The fruit industry of this state is growing more rapidly than the residents of this state imag ine or can believe. It now ranks as the fourth or fifth industry in the state. The wheat lands are gradually wearing out and the yield of this crop is decreasing annually. ' The salmon catch is falling off annually and eventu ally the timber of the state will be cut down. Finally there will be but two important industries in this state fruitgrowing and dairying. Thit being so, let us make the best possible use of the apple as an advertisement, that more people may be brought to this state to assist in the devel opment of those two industries which promise so much to the material prosperity of this great state.
