Horace Brewster, of Point Roberts, is on
the Bay MIR. Brewster Is the gentleman
who figured in the threshing machine
case which caused the arrest OF Deputy
Collector McLennan, OF Blaine. They
stole the confounded old threshlng ma
chine" said Mr.. Brewster, "and took IL
into Canada where IL belonged anyway"

rapidly approaching completion, and a
big seasons work is anticipated. Mr.,

A real old fashioned miniature "grlst
mill' Is on exhibition In the window Of
Farnham's drug store, Holly street.
There Is the water wheel, driven by the
running stream, ana making It's revolu.
tiOns with methodical regularity; the road
winding In and out through hi and dale
is also seen, and the dusty miller stands
beside some sacks Of genuine corn, while
motive and cars standing In front OF the
old mill give IL a modern appearance,
which divests it OF its brightest charms
the romance which Is popularity supposed
to hang around the water mill. Inc loco
motive looks decidedly Unitarian and
suggestive OF practical, not romantic
times.
In window of Frank N. Barney's real
estate Office, on Thirteenth street. are
three views Of English Camp" San Juan
island And they are beautiful The
grounds, with nicely laid out walks, the
drives and above all the view OF the sur
rounding water and Islands are particu-
larly delightful A legend above the views
tells the observer that English camp was
occupied by the British from 1860 TO 1865.
These Britishers were jolly dogs and had
little else TO do than improve and bcautl-
fy the Camp" and this they did, import
ing shrubbcry from England TO give the
grounds taste Of the land Of their ma
ti9ty. When in 1872 the English we're
compelled to abandon San Juan, the
Camp fell into the hands OF Americans
and its beauty and historic interest still
remain, and visitors to Roche Harbor
never fail to visit this place and admire
It's surroundings.

the hotel and sent up his card 10 Mr..
Langenour. Mr.. Langcnour would see
him In a "few minutes" The reporter
waited sixty minutes and thought that
was few, and he didn't then see Mr..
Langenour. But he may have been mis-
taken as TO what constitutes Few min
utes."

dog with the crippled fore paw, and In
fact Buns list Of friends and acquaint-
ances extend far beyond the city limits.
Bum Is pioneer Of the town. No one
knows whence he came, but for the past
four years the crooked paw and the wag
OF his honest narrative have been familiar

hands OF EalrhaYens cltlZens. Once be
