Road Supervisor j. L. Farnsworth
has had quite large force of men at
work grading and ditching our streets
and they are making very marked
improvement in the appearance of the
town. Since Jim has held this lofty
position he has done some gooa work
and he should be given a long mark
in credit for it.
Our sympathy for young gentle
man, who resides at Olga, knows no
bounds when we recall the trying Or
deal he passed through about a week
ago. He put OH his toothpick shoes,
ice cream necktie and Sunday suit of
black, and made special trip to New
Whatcom to call on and visit with the
choice of his affections, but 10 and be-
hold upon his arrival he finds her with
a rival, chatting as pleasantly as you
please. She very politely hands him
some picture books to look at, bids him
a fond adieu and marches off to church
with the rival. We refrain from men,
tioning name as the young man would
very likely feel embarrassed.
Chas. F, Repath stopped here Tues
day OH his way home from Friday Har
Dor, where he lad been conducting the
defense in the Straub murder case. He
says that the intense prejudice against
Straub i'm that community was mani
tested continually during the progress
of the trial. He says that he was i'm
formed that if Straub was acquitted his
attorney would be strung up, and he
was advised to keep in after the cOnclu
sion of his argument lest personal vio-
lence be inflicted upon him. He says
that he believes Straub would not have
been found guilty of mole than murder
in the second degree in any other
county .--Island County Times. The
above effusion confirms us in the be-
lief that Attorney Repath is entitled to
full credentials as a worthy successor to
Annanias, and the only answer we
desire to make to the aspersions i'm the
above clipping, is that they are totally
and absolutely false.
Mr.. John DeTiere, of New What
com, has recently undertaken an enter
prise which is of interest to all the peo-
pie of this section of the state. He is
preparing to make an extensive tour
throughout the Eastern states for the
purpose of advertising Puget Sound,
and desires to carry with him photo
graphs showing all matters of interest
to this section. The work is entirely
gratuitous upon his part. Some time
ago he wrote us asking for photographs
of matters of interest i'm this county.
If any of our readers have photos Of
interest which they would be willing
to contribute to help Mr.. DeTiere in
this work we would like to have them
forward same to us and we will see
that they are given proper space among
his exhibits.
