Mr. Lun1berg an employee on the
Island Packing Co.'S. steamer Michigan
was quite badly hurt last Saturday
afternoon while hand ing the lines on
the steamer. The boat was taking
hold of the piledriver preparatory to
bringing it in and Mr.. Lundberg was
paying out the hawser from the steam
er when the rope caught him around
his leg and pinned him in next the
guard, badly bruising his leg below the
knee. Had not the pilot seen it and ut
once stopped the steamer it would have
certainly cut his leg off.
The steamer Utsalady, Capt. John
Collins, came in Saturday afternoon
from WhatcOm, with Il big scOw load
of lumber for Contractors FarnsWOrth
& Jones to be used IN the construction
of the new cannery buildings. The
scow was loaded with $4,000 feet of
heavy lumber and it took twenty-five
men auout seven and One-half hours to
unload her as the tide was very low
and the task an unusually hard one.
The steamer took the scOW back Sun
day morning and will likely be over
again today with another load. The
lumber is some of the finest that has
ever been brought to Friday Harbor
and was cut by the Whatcom Falls
Mill Co.

fluent or impressive speaker and several

The Oceanic Canning Co., of Rich
ardson, have put in a new stock of gen
eral merchandise at that point and
from all that we are able to learn it
seems that they expect to compete with
Mr.. L. {. Kinleyside for the tade on
that end of Lopez. Considering the
fact that Mr.. Kinleyside has done the
company the many favors which he
has, this seems to us to be taking an
unfair advantage OF the situation. If
there were goods which Mr.. Kinleyside
,uld not furnish the company at as
low figure rs some of the up-SouHd
merchants let them get them from
abroad and save the extra expense, but
not open a new store by the side of him
and openly compete for business in "a
community where one store is amply
sufficient to supply the present demand.
Mr. Kinleyside is the pioneer merch-
ant of that section, having done bust
ness there for the past six or seven
years. He began with small business
and practically no acquaintance but
soon won the confidence and respect of
the farmers and has now built up a
business for himself which pays him a
nice living. The canning company es-
tabIished there about six months ago
for the purpose of catching and cam
ming fish and the mercantile business
seems to us to be out of their legitimate
line. OF course no one questions their
legal right to open house of this kind
there, but there should be justice in all
things.
