HEAVY FINE.-An interesting lawsuit
came off at the Nooksack Crossing, one
day last week. 1t seems that man by
the name of Van Buren,, had been
troubled more or less by neighbours OK
breaking into his field, and destroying
the crops. Finally, with Mr.. Van Buren,,
patience ceased to be a virtue, and he
captured the bovine invader and tied him
to tree and then went off and left him
in this prcdicament for several days,
without having given the owner notice of
its whereabouts. A search was soon after
instituted by the owner of the animal,
who succeeded in finding him, as before
stated, tied up for repairs, and in such II
manner as to prevent him from feeding,
the unfortunate animal presenting the ap
pearance of being half starved. The en-
ragged owner OF the OK Immediately set
out in quest of Justice OF the Peace,
and had the man arrested and brought to
trial. In consideration of his unkindly
act, Van Buren, was fined $40 and costs,
amounting to $50.

VALE, CHEHALIs.-It really seems like
losing an old>time friend to part with the
Chehalls. To be sure, she is not much for
style, nor very fast, but has always been
reliable, and is by no means an unpleas-
ant craft to travel on. Her popularity is
principally due to the fact that Capt.
Brownfield has proven himself on every
occasion most courteous and obliging
officer, an opinion in which, we doubt not,
all who have had dealings with him will
readily concur. He was ever ready to Call
for passengers at nt-ofthe-way places, and
deliver freight a. points where many
other boats either could not or would not
land. BY this means the Chchalis built
up very profitable trade, and became de-
servedly popular Capt. Brownfeld will
make couple OF trips on the City OF
Quincy, for the purpose OF giving Capt.
Olney some points with regard to the
route. We bespeak for Capt. Brownfield u
full measure of success wherever he may
tie up.

THE OAT CRoP.-It is believed that
the yield of oats on the Swinomlsh flats
will he somewhat below the average this
season--owing, we presume, to the effects
of the recent disastrous freshet and other
demoralizing causes. Ordinarily, 70 to 80
bushels is about the average yield, but
often as high as 40 bushels have been
harvested. Many of the farmers in that
section will he unable to harvest any crop
whatever this season.

LOCAL NEWS

SCHOOL CENsUs.-F. A. Graham, clerk
of Anacortes school district, took the GEN.
sue last week, and finds that we have one
oil the largest school districts in the
county. There are at present a. school
children in the district "a males and 20
females. Number enrolled, 81. There is
an average daily attendance of 90 pupils.
Miss Emily Hagadorn has charge of the
school, and she has shown herself to be II
very competent and painstakiug teacher.
The school closed for the term yester-
day. There are three public schools on
the island, including the Best district
school, in charge of A. Valkenberg, and
one in Fidalgo district, near Munk's
Landing, the latter of which has been
closed this term, we believe. These, to-
gethcr with Rev. Nj. Tade's academy,
which will reopen soon, and continue for
about four months, gives US educational
facilities superior to those of any other
district in the county.

IMPORTANT TO SETTLERs.-Fo the BEN

IMPORTANT TO SETTLERs.-For the benz
eft of intending settlers We print the fol
lowing extracts from bill recently passed
by the Senate, and which is likely to be-
come a law: 1t is entitled "a bill to
shorten the time required to acquire
homestead on the public domain" Sec
ton / provides that Sec. 1921 of the Re-
vsed Statutes be and the same is hereby
amended by striking out the words 'tive
years" where the same occurs IN said sec
ton, and inserting in their stead the
words ''three years." Sec. 2.-That due
proof shall in all cases be made that the
person making the entry, or his success
sor, under the homestead laws, has in
good faith actually resided upon and i'm
proved the land for the full period OF
three years Immediately succeeding the
date of his settlement or entry; provided,
however, that period of not exceeding
three months may be allowed after entry
! within which the homestead party shall
establish his actual residence on the land.
Sec 3.--That Section 1897 be amended to
read as follows: If at any time after the
filing of the affidavit, as required in Sec
tion 1921, it is proved, after due notice to
the settler, to the satisfaction of the Com
missioner of the General Land Office, that
the person having filed such affidavit has
actually changed his residence or ADAM
doned the land, then and in that event
the land so entered shall revert to the
| government.

A PANTHER.--It is now affirmed by
those who appear to know that the ami
NAL encountered 10y joe Lynch near the
pass, the other day, was genuine pam
Their, and not cougar, AS previously re-
ported. Traces were discovered where il
had dragged the carcase of sheep long
distance down from a high cliff, and the
remains Of a beaver were also found near
by. The panther was about six feet in
length, and Its tail appeared equally as
long. 1t is more than likely one of Joe's
bullets lodged in the animals body, as he
is considered dead shot.

BEWARE OF THEM.-ToO much caution
cannot be exercised by settlers in pur
chasing Surveyor-G certificates "i
deposit with which to pay presumption or
commute homestead entries. None should
be accepted that have not been affirmed
or certified to by the Land Commissioner.
Great frauds have recently been discov-
cred, and it is more than probable that
many of these fraudulent certificates have
been put into the hands of brokers in the
Territory.

rying the mail on the Seattle -Sehome
route, to the Washington Steamboat and
Navigation Co., the transfer being made on
Monday. The City of Quincy will COM

For THE SAMIsH. - We understand
that John E. Davis, Lacenner's energetic
blacksmith, seriously contemplates build
ing small light draft steamboat to run
up the Samish river. The dimensions of
the craft will necessarily be very small
and she will be used chiefly in transporting
supplies tn logging camps, etc. We have
no doubt the venture would prove very
profitable, and the expense of construct
ing and maintaining such craft would
be but mere bagatellc.

These figures prove that the average
product of human labor per head has
increased three times faster in Great
Britain than in the United States. The
largest increase has been in free trade
England and the smallest in the pro-
tected United States. We would like
to have the advocates of protective
tariffs explain why human industry is
not as productive in the United States
as the average of the world, and why
it is so much more productive in Eng
land than in any other country. 1t
should be perfectly clear to anyone who
understands even the rudiments Of
economic silence. Protective tariffs are
intended to induce labor and capital to
engage in Improbable pursuits, there
by reducing the aggregate production
Of the nation.
Under free trade only profitable
trades are carried on, and it follows as
q matter of course that the aggregate
production Of wealth must be larger
under free trade than under the pro-
tective system.-Detroit Evening News.
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1882-03-01

One of the schemes before Congress
Is to reduce the internal revenue tax
on whisky and tobacco. If it should
become law, the revenue Of the coun-
try would be reduced by nearly fifty
millions of dollars. The reduction
of the whisky internal revenue tax
will not have any effect in reducing
the number of persons who arc now
employed in collecting the revenue, and
who number some four thousand per-
sons. Thus while the revenue would
be reduced, there would be no reduc-
ton in the cost Of collection. There
would be just as many officers for the
President to appoint; there would be
Just as many salaried bummers to run
caucuses and conventions; there would
be just as much corruption; there
would be just as much spying into the
private business of the people, and the
revenue would be S50,000,000 less.
Whisky is not necessity as a uniyer-
sal beverage, and if people are bound
TO have it, let them pay a big price for
Il. 1t will not benefit the country any
to cheaper intoxicating liquors. The
proper way to help the people is to re-
duce the national taxes on necessities,
such as clothing, medicines, matches,
crockery, etc.

Division Of Dakota.

The report of the subcommittee on
territories as adopted favors the division
Of Dakota, and the erection Of the ter
ritory of North Dakota, dividing the
territory on the 46th parallel. The
report shows wonderful growth in the
northern part of the territory in the
past Is months. The number of post
offices has increased from IS to 146
and the sale of postage stamps and
postal cards, ETC., has doubled. The
number of miles of railroads have in
creased from 260 to $50, school houses
from Is to 1856, churches from 8 to 492,
taxable property from S7,324,7OO to
S15,3SS,847. There are no relations in
common between the northern and
southern parts of the state, and not a
wagon road aside from the military
road between them. The population Of
the northern part of the state is esti-
mated at over 100000. The area of
the proposed new territory is greater
than all of New England.
