There was only one steamer a week from

Gus Julian was the boatman and he had
a monopoly of the business. Skagit coun-

while Whatcom was the county seat,
court was held at La Conner, two terms
each year. The first session In Whatcom
was held In January, 1884, and for four

1t isn't any too early for the Repub
leans of this city and county to or
ganize city and county Republican
clubs for the campaign of next year
The earliest clubs are those that dc
the best and most satisfactory work.
In this connection the following para
graph from an editorial in the Spokane
Spokesman comes decidedly pat:
"The most efficient system Of modern
campaigning in politics is by means of
clubs. Just as military men are di-
vided into companies, are constantly
meeting and drilling, civilians should
get together and prepare themselves
to fight the great battle at the ballot
boxes, which is ever reOccurring. The
price of liberty is eternal vigilance
and clubs serve to keep up the interes
in public matters"
