ORCAS ISLAND NOTES.

w. Q. Wakefield went to Seattle last
week on business trip.
Miss Rhoda A. Lee is spending a few
days with her many friends near Deer
Harbor this week.
Mr.. Dudley returned home last Sat-
urday on the Buckeye, having been
visiting with friends at Anacortes for
the past week.
Mr.. I. A. Wakefield and the Fowler
boys have just finished logging at West
Sound, having taken out something
over $4,000 feet of logs.
The monthly social will be held i'm
the West Sound church, Tuesday eve-
ming, Feb. Is, 1896. Cordial invita-
ton to all. Admission free.
A lively time is expected at the Deer
Harbor debating society Saturday
night. The QUESTION for debate is ere
solved that the public school system is
a greater bulwark of safety than a
standing army.
We learn that a novel society, bear
ing tHc HdiIlo OI Tile OUarlIaDlo Scrub
bers, has arisen in the suburb of the
enterprising town of Deer Harbor
The object of this organization is to
care for the widow and the fatherless,
the widow especially. The member
ship is yet small, consisting of one
benedict and very limited number of
bachelors, it has, however, already
entered upon it's hazardous duties,
having Thoroughly scrubbed out one
stove pipe, and as the necessary ma
chinery has not yet arrived, the opera
ton was performed by means of wet
gunny sack, ard being as yet unaccus-
toned to the business the operator for
got to remove the sack and was obliged
to once more doff his boots and make
the perilous ascent, with much difficult
ty the sack was removed and the
scrubber descended in safety to the
ground. Truly necessity is the moth
er of invention" Long live the chari-
table scrubbers May their numbers
increase until no widow in the land
shall ever be annoyed by smoking
stove pipe or chimney. ORCAS.

Butter and Suet.

Butter that has become ''stale'' may
be made sweet for pastry by boiling il
in plenty of water and a little soda, a
teaspoonful being enough for four OF
five pounds. Let it get cold, take the
cake off and boil agian in clear water.
When it is cold this time, scrape the
bottom dry and pack away for use.
Suet is much nicer boiled before
using for buildings, etc. Boil a guam
tity and take off the cake of grease and
find other use for that. When it is
cold put it IN pan or bowl and pound
it with potato masher. You will now
be able to take out every shred that is
in it, and you will have nice amount
of pulverized suet ready for short
notice. This will keep long time

OLGA ITEMS.

The Olga store keeper paid the Bay
Cities visit on Wednesday last.
Shall you divide your crop with the
aphis and caterpillars this year again ?
The Buckeye is favored by an in
to know.
On Wednesday last, "Toney" the
Fairhaven butcher "Felt' his way
by here on board the Buckeye.
r. Kratzig, the "Sehome market
man." was looking up and purchasing
stock, here recently, for his shop.
Henry Legbrandt is busily paving
the way for trip to the land of frozen
fruit and rattle snakes-Florida.
Tommy Robinson with a heart full
of courage and big bag of traps, started
north to spend few weeks at gather
ing in some furs.
Someone wants to know, you know,
who wrote up that pup drowning arti-
Gle contained in THE ISLANDER two
weeks ago. Was it you?
Thursday last Andrew Newhall
visited Olga on his rounds in cOnnec-
ton with extending the boat-mail SER
vice to Doe Bay and some other points.
Owing to the wharf being yet with
out guard rails Anthony Ohlert, last
Thursday, having a yoke of oxen to
ship had to drive them to East Sound
to load.
An innovation in the manner of
mount is freely talked of in connection
with the Olga Ladies' Equestrian Club
which is soon to be formed here. A
good thing-push it along.
Monday evening after dark some
thoughtless youths outside in a boat
caused CONSERVATION to reign along
shore here by their yelling like as if in
distress. Such action is nothing short
of criminal and must not be repeated.
The ever welcome Thomas Hender-
son, Fairhaven, passed two days here
recently in consultation with clients
and renewing old acquaintance. Mr..
1T. is anything but pessimistic in his
views on the outlook for Orcas island
and surrounding country.
Last Saturday merry party of
eleven persons boarded AnthOny's
white boat, and with jeff Moore at the
helm and John Mcdonald and Erral
Hilton furnishing the "wind" neces-
sary to propel the ship they sailed
away for agate beach, where they spent
couple of hours at specimen hunting
and enjoying lunch and returning a!

good time. LITTLE T. l.

Railroad Building i'm 1895.

Railroad building in the United
States reached during 1895 lower
point than in any of the last twenty
years; indeed, in only two years since
1865, thirty years ago, has SO small a
mileage been built. The records of the
Railway Age for 1895 up to December
show only 1882 miles of track laid, a
tremendous decline from the great
year of 1887, when almost $4,000 miles
were put down. In the eight years
since that time the decrease in con-
struction has been great and contin-
uous, and last year the total built was
only abont 100 miles more than in 1855
forty years ago.

Aililin, OF the Lime company, is re-
ported as having offered to practically
donate enough for the building, charg-
nig only enough to cove cost of quarry

10 DC two objections to its use-first the
technical one that sandstone is speci-
lleo and the Roche Harbor stone is
marble, and, second, that it is so hard
mat the cost of working it would be

Threw Away His Canes.

Mr.. D. Wiley, ex-postmaster, Black
Creek, N. Y, was so badly afflicted with
rheumatism that he was only able to hob
BILE around with canes, and even then it
caused him great pain. After using
Pain Balm he was so much
that he threw away his canes.
He says this liniment did him more good
than all other medicines and treatment
put together. For sale at so cents per
bottle by all druggists.
