the shore of the bay with manufac-
turing village. Yet little further
on are the new McCurdy lime works,
owned by three parties, and just be-
ginning to export its valuable pro
duct. 1t IS Just at present in litiga
ton, owing to dispute among the
owners, but will probably be in con-
dition for active operations again in
a short time.
Over at north beach are splendid
aud promising prospects Of coal and
marble. In the immediate vicinity
are fertile valleys, all being cultivat-
ed by prosperous farmers and fruit
raisers. The locality is wonderfully
adopted for the prediction of all
kinds of fruit. Apples, pears, peach
es, apricots, plums, cherries and all
the luscious berries known to this
latitude are already grown in abund-
ance and superior quality. 1t re-
quirers no effort of the immagina>
ton to picture here the most desira-
BILE retreat, where the choisest fruits
of sea and earth and air may be gar
nered to contribute to the health,
happiness and material welfare OF
contented and favored people.

A Daring American

Judge Owen Denny, an Oregon
man-Consul to China under Hayes,
Is now prime minister to the King of
Corea, with residence at Seoul. He
Is just now agitating the matter of
Cor9an independency. The kingdom
has been for long time nominally
dependent to China. He claims
that Lii Hung Chang, the Chinese
viceroy, is not dealing fairly with the
Corean king and that change must
be brought to insure permanency of
relation. MIR. Denny is long>head-
ed nan, understands himself about
as we'll as any man We know, but the
Chinese are superstitious people,
and Iii Hung will be demanding his
head pretty soon.
He has published pamphlet aud
had it circulated, in which he sets
forth Corea's grievances. He says
China is unwarranted by interfering
in the treaty which Corea is making
with western nations and is blocking
up Corean commerce by refusing TO
allow her to open up her ports as she
desires. Possibly China may take
warning and not harm the American,
but he must be very adroit.

East Sound.

East Sound, on Orcas island, is a
thriving, fourishing locality. Ex-
eeedingl ly fertile, rich in lime rock,
coal and marble, abounding in grand
scenery and invigorating climate, it
will be not only prosperous bust
ness center but a popular summer re,
sort. Mr.. E. w. Sutherland already
has hotel there which is filed to
oVerfowing. Mr.. Sutherland and his
good lady are hospitable and popu-
lar, and have thrifty eye to business

A Manufacturing Town.

Roche Harbor, on the northerly
side of San Juan island, the sub port
of entry for the islands of the San
Juan archipelago, is one of the pret-
tiest little towns in all Puget Sound
Its convenience of access for SUR
rounding commerce, its safety as a
harbor, and the Importance of its own
local business all attest the excellent
Judgment of Hon. A. w. Bash when
he, as collector OF customs, selected
it as the location for subordinate
