To the Editor of the Fremantle Journal Sir, Being greatly concerned in the future welfare of this Infantines Colony, allow me through the medium of your new undertaking to suggest a reason or two why the holders of stock more particularly Cows & sheep should endeavour to increase and purchase as much of them as lays in their power, the first cost is trifling at present they are of no expense in Keeping. Secondly after the great outlay already expended here is not any likelihood in the future prospect as to its success. Lastly they are on an increase of at least 50 Pr.Ct., the holder of them must in the course of 5 years increase the capital of stock at least 150 Pr.Ct. by that time also the wool will be much ameliorated by the climate — nearly the same as that of Sydney, where it is known the quality of wool improves yearly & this port being nearer to Europe the great mart for all the productions it can be exported there at a much less expense than that of Sydney, while the quality at least is equal in value there can be no hesitation in saying that while the freight from Sydney is from 2 to 2½ per pound it may be exported from this port ½ to ¾ per pound The above will at all times ensure the Western Australia a full demand for his wool. P

To the Editor of the Fremantle Journal. Sir, do you think it likely that Mr. Martin's act for cruelty to animals will be considered of at this Port Yours etc. Humanitas.
