Rock Island Grove.

Last Sunday evening, May 18th, was the
occasion of the introduction Of new So
ciety into our midst, viz: Crock Island
Grove, No. %, of The United Ancient
Order of Druids" The order Was insti-
tuted here by Messrs. N. Mohr, A. G. A.,
and Frank Ebele, L. G. A, of Chicago
The following are the names of the officers
of the Grove at this place
Jacob Hoesti, n A.
George Wagner, Y. A.
Il. Harms, Sec.
G. Stengel, Treas.
Aug. Huesting, +. A.
A. EckermAn, /, q.
The Grove starts with 81 members, all of
whom are citizens of Rock Island. It is
strictly German society, only those of that
nationality being eligible as members.
This order is similar to other secret societies
and dates the origin back to ancient Druid
ism-An institution which was, perhaps,
common to all Celtic nations, though we
have only definite accounts Of il as it existed
in ancient GRul. 1t is believed that the in
stitution was first known in Britain, and
from thence transplSnted into Gsul. The
great and powerful priesthood OF
Druids themselves, form e character IN
history, peculiar to no other organization or
class Of men. At certain time of the
year they used to assemble On the territory
Of the CArnutes, aud to that place we're
gathered all persons who had quarrels and
they abide by their judgments and DEGREES
They fixed rewards and punshments, and i
any persons dared to disobey, they were ex
Guided from the sacrifices, which was the
greatest punishment possible to inaict
They were the educators Of the people, wer'
regarded with superstitious awe blythe mas
ses, and ruled old barbsrous Britain with
rod of iron. This order, originating from
the old Druids, has come down to us, of tn
presest; and bids fair TO become & powerful
element in the social life of our German
population.

yer, with his first German troupe, succeeded in
getting splendid chorus and orchestra, but no
leading people Of extraordinary merit. Maratzek,
years ago, organized some strong combinations,
and made money, but Of late years ho has
only put together patchwork troupes, and has
lost all he has ever made, and more too. Whom
managers learn to place opera upon strict busi-
ness basis, and apply the commercial rule Of
giving their customers the best goods in the
market and the worth Of their money, they will
be successful. It is just as impossible to run IN
opera-troupe with one prima-donna, the remain
der Of the people being supernumeraries, as it
would be for man to keep grocery store on
the specially Of excellent salt fish, or dry goods
dealer to build up business on the super
latiyo qualities Of his blue ribbon alone.
The sooner they recognize this fact the better it
will be for them, and until they do recognize it
opera must lead only Bickly existence, and will
never become q permanent institution IN thie
country There is an opening for the coming
manager, whoever he may be, if he has goot
Sense, and gives the people what they want.

Haro and the Rosario Straits. The treaty Of
1886, upon DETECTING the line 30 as to give the
British all of Vaucouyer's Island, extended the
line by the principal or main channel
to the ocean. Subsequently it vas found that
there were two channels, either Of which would
answer this description. By adopting one, this
group Of islands would belong to Great Britain,
and, by adopting the other, they would become
the property of the United States. The Hud-
sons Bay Company, backed by tho British au-
thorities, determined to take possession, and, In
1853, occupied San Juan, which is the most lm-
portant of the group. The United States Col
lector for that district demonstrated, but Cover
nor Douglas, Of Vancouver, appointed Mr.
Griffin British Magistrate for San Juan, to holo
it as dependency Of Vancouver In 1888, the
Legislature at Washington Territory LEVIED
the annual tax, and the Sheriff. OF
Whatcom County seized thirty sheep
on the island belonging to Griihn, Tor IN
posed taxes. Griffin claimed 915,0oo damages
for the "outrage." In 1856, joint commission
was appointed to establish the boundary line be-
tween Washington Territory and the British
territory. They agreed as to the mainland.
The English Commissioners however, Ans1s5eo
that the channel nearest to the mainland was ENG
true water boundary, while the Americans IN
sisted That it was the Dc Haro Channel, that
being nearest to Vancouyer's Island. There
was, therefore, no agreement. While these pro-
ceedings we're going on, thero were some oo
Americans On the island Of San Juan, and IL
British subjects. In 1857, General Harney
landed there with detachment OF troops, and
soon after, on the Same day, British vessel
of-wnr arrived to take possession. Tho Vcs'
sci returned to Vancouver, to obtain q force
sufficient to drive Harney from
tle island, and war was imminent. British
Admiral, however, arrived there in time to pre-
vent any act Of WIT. General Scott visited sar
| Juan, and at his suggestion joint military oc
| cupation was agreed upon, and each nation has
kept force Of 100 men on the island eve'
| since.
| By the Treaty Of Washington Of 1871, tht
| whole question WAS referred to the Emperor O.
Germany, who has Just decided TINT the boun.
| darv line is by the De Haro Channe
| from the point where the limo OF 4:
degrees strikes Vancouyor's Island
This gives the United States all that was claimed
The Island OF San Juan is described as about II
miles long and miles vide, continuing 4o,oot
acres Of land. Tile northern part is mountain
GUS and timbered; the south is prairie land, ant
vcry fertile. It's chief value is the harbor, nea1
which is an extensive quarry Of limestone
These islands, the ownership Of which hss beer
so long contested, all have limestone quarries
Coal has also boon found on some Of them
They furnish extensive fisheries for salmon, cod
| and halibut.

Saloon-keepers seem to have paid very Little
attention yesterday to the Sunday L aw beyond
dccorously closing their blinds. There WAS no
part of the city where drink could not be easily
got. In the North Division, whore the Ger
mans reside, the saloons were al1 open, and
heer VAS sold as usual. No disturbance OF any
kind occurred; but there were fourteen arrests
for drunkenness against ten last Sunday. No
particular activity in making complaints ap-
peared on the part either Of citizens or police
men, the latter following the decisions Of the
Police Justices that their duty did not require
them to make any prying efforts to discover
| violations OF the law.

Among the subjects Of controversy with Great
Britain which wore referred to arbitration, was
the settlement of the national boundary on the
northwestern corner Of the Territory Of Wash
ington. Prior to 1915, the United States claimed
tho Northwest Territory up to the line of 54.4o,
while the British insisted that the
true line was latitude 40. In the
Presidential election Of 1914, the
Democratic party adopted tile cry Of 4.40 or
fight" and, In the inaugural address Of Presi-
dent Polk, lie stated thet our title up to 54-4o
was "clear aud indisputable:" Mr. Buchanan
was made Secretary Of State in 1916, and lie
carried on the negotiations On this subject; The
Democratic purity in Congress was mainly pledged
to insist on tho extreme line, and when, subse-
quently, Mr. Buchanan accepted the line of 4s
gs an alternative for Yaar, there wero for some
weeks IN Congress warm, and, iaaeed, fiery de-
nunciations OF his tiimiqity. 4 treaty wss m3s4e
adopting the line Of 49s hut to have extended
this line beyond the mainland voald haye
included within the United States the principal
British settlements npon vancou2er's Island.
The treaty, therefore, provided that tho line
should be 60 DETECTED rs to give to 0rekt lctain
all Of yancouver's Island. In 1853, tile northern
part of Oregon =es set apart under tho namo OF
Washington Territory, az, al., SOON after, the Ter
ritory sas divided into counties. Included il
the County Of Whatcom are the 'fsEands Of
San Juan, orsas, Lopez, Blakely, Decatur, and
Shaw, which group lies between the Canal de
