THE proposition to establish a separa-
tor station here, or at some other con-
Yenient point near here, as an adjunct
TO the creamery to be established at
Whatcom, is we'll worthy of considera-
ton. 1t offers an opportunity for con-
siderable gain to farmers, with hardly
any possibility of loss The farmers of
the San Juan valley alone could very
easily supply the milk of one-hundred
COWS at any time, and that number is
all that is required under the PROPOSE
ton submitted. If proper necessary
encouragement is offered THE ISLAND
Err is assured that the creamery COM
pany will locate a separator here, or
near here, large enough to handle the
milk of at least three hundred COWS.
1t is matter of regret that we have no
organization of progressive business
men and farmers here to give to mat
tiers of this kind the attention that
they deserve.

TIE formal announcement Of Cover
nor McGraw's candidacy for the Uni

lar surprise. He has long been regard
ed as a candidate and the most formi-
dable competitor of Senator Squire,
who has a great many friends through
out the state who will be Jealous work
ers for his reelection. The governors
firm, conscientious and business-like
administration of the governorship has
given him strong hold upon the peo-
pie and has shown him to be possessed
of qualities which command respect
even in the United States Senate. If
elected he might not carry with him
TO Washington such a we'll organized
appetite for terrapin and champagne in
moderate quantities as Senator Squire
is SAID to possess, but it is not likely
that he would long occupy back seat
in this respect if he should desire to sit
in the front row. OF course we should
have a senator who has fine discrimi-
mating taste and who can "hold his
own" with dignity and ease among the
epicures of the capital city.
