The Famous Shoe Store, of New
Whatconl, one of the best stores north
of Seattle, has a good deal of trade from
the islands, but the proprietor, Mr..
Craft, very naturally wants more and
we have encouraged him in the belief
that he will get it by advertising in
The ISLANDER He is wide awake
and progressive, and carries one of the
best stocks in the state and is very
reliable and agreeable man to deal with.
The mail steamer Buckeye which has

soned out five and half feet was
launched last Friday night and taken
to Seattle where she will receive her
finishing touches. When completed
Captain Newhall will put her back on
the Friday Harbor, Anacortes mail
route, where she run previous to her
accidentin Bellingham Bay. We wish
the Captain be tier success III the future.

The publishers of THE ISLANDER know
him to be one of the most elterprisiI z
and progressive busin, S. men of the
bay cities. He was one of the members
of the Fairhaven company that char
tered the old Dispatch to ply between
Fairllaven and the Islands, and he has
at all times shown himself to be alive
to the Interests of San Juan County, Il
share of whose patronage he sulicits.

This office is indebted to Secretary
Rsilly, of the Northwestern. Fair Asso-
citation, for IL copy of the new premium
list of the fair to be held this fall. 1t is
very neat book containing los pages
and is very appropriately covered. All
who have not received Il copy and wish
to look one over can do SO 10y calling at
THE ISLANDER Office. We hops, the
farmers and fiuit growers of Jan jam
county will give the matter of sending
in exhibits more than passing after tiol
and that the county Will have, not only
a coniplete, but Il very or ditable eX-
hibit. This it may easily have if little
attention is given the matter. Let us
SEE that tins county capture the highest
awards for fruits, fish, farm and garden
products.
A copy of the "San Juan Lime Kiln
Times" reaches our desk this week. 1t
is Il neat and newsy little sheet, 5 6
inches, four pages and edited and pub
lisl,ed at Cowell's lime works, by Mas
ter Matthew Cnghlan, and is certainly
a very crcditable amateur newspaper
for ten year old boy to publish, espec-
tally when he has to- print it with a
small typewriter. Matthew has not
attended school single day in his life
but so far his education has been looked
after bv the kindest and best of parents
and his pap shows that it has not
been neglected. We predict that some
day Matthew will run a much larger
paper than the present one and that
the boy editor of the "San Juan Lime
Kiln Times" will take place among
the journalists of his day.
