LOCATION OF THE CHIMNEY.
Unlike most of the old cabins, the chini-
neg in this one is in the center OF the
house. The reason is easily explained. AS
the wealth of the elder lincoln increased
he added unto the cabin by one da making
it just double its former size. The struc-
ture as it now appears is simply two nuts
placed end to end with one chimney an
swering for both apartments.
OF course the chimney to the original
cabin was on the outside of the building
That is the reason that a row Of boards

A WELL WARRANTED KICK.

EAST SOUND, Wash, May 10, 1896
EDITOR ISLANDER:
Dear Sir:-Being free citizen of a
free republic, 1, as well as other people
of San Juan county would like to know
why small coterie of teachers on the
school examining board, should AFRO
gate to themselves the unwarranted
authority of refusing to endorse teach
er's certificates granted in other coun-
ties by boards fully as competent u.
themselves to arrive ut facts. Perhaps
fear of outside rivalry is the governing
motive, if so, it is high time the prac-
tice were abandoned before the impress
sion gets abroad that pure ahd unadul-
terated selfishness was at the bottom OF
it and not the best interests of the state.
The law very plainly gives authority
to SO indorse such certificates for the
time granted, and refusal to comply
is plainly all act of tyrrany not conf
portable with the free institutions I'M
der which we are supposed to live.
The narrowing lines of arbitrary au-
tlority have led to revolutions in the
past and should be closely watched by
a liberty loving people, at least parties
whose sole authority to act comes from
the direct franchise should so act as moi
to fear retribution at the polls should
they be so happy as to get a chance to
have their authority extended. This
matter has caused much feeling in the
county i'm the past and demands 8
speedy remedy in the future.

EDITOR ISLANDER:
Dear Slr:-Some months ago the board
OF trade of this city, among other things
of interest to the people of this North
western part of the state of Washing
ton took up the creamery subject,
which is one of the most important
matters in the development of this new
country, have met with every ell
couragc,nent from the people on Bel
iingham Bay and surrounding country.
A co operative company has been
formed, and the following named gen-
tlemen have been elected as its first
board of directors: Philip Baum,
Albert Pancoast, Victor A. Roeder,
George Nolte and c. l.. Anderson,
New Whatcom; David Wight of Ever
son and NJ. J. Clark, of Lummi
The company Will incorporate with
a capital stock of $4,000, tile shares to
be $40 each, $500 to be Il cash payment
and the balance payable in II equal
monthly payments, the farmers who
take stock can pay their assessments in
cream as they fall due. The board of
directors wish to locate a separator at
Friday Harbor, provided sufficient
interest is assured by the farmers there.
They would have to be assured of the
milk from 100 cows to start with, and
subscription to certain number of
shares of stock in the company.
Creameries are like may other insti-
buttons of our country, the larger their
capacity the more profitable will it be
to those interested. The creamery at
Vancouver, Washington, is one of the
largest in this state and their butter
was manufac ured last year at cost
of two and one half cents per pound.
1t is desired that those farmers inter
ested will meet at once, appoint Il COM
mittee to canvass the adjacent country
and report to the Whatcom County
Creamery at their earliest opportunity.
Any information may be had by ad-
dressing the undersigned.
Respectfully Yours, ALBERT E..
JONES, Secretary Whatcom Board of
Trade.

A COTTON MILL PROJECT.

A proposition to establish a ten
thousand spindle cotton mill at some
convenient point on Puget Sound is
said to be under consideration by
prominent capitalists. 1t is estimated
that the plant would cost $685. and
that working capital of $4,000 would
be required. The number OF employees
would be about $50 and the pay roll
about $1,000 month. According to
the CENSUS report of 1890 there were
then 9Oo cotton mills in operation in
the United States, representing over
$3.50 100000 of capital and employing
over 443 900 people. West of tile lOOtn
meridian of longitude there are lO, OOO,-
OOO people in the United States and only
one cotton mill and it Is claimed that
the three Pacific coast states and Idaho
used 100 900 yards of cotton cloth daily
for Hour bags alone during 1895. The
advocates of the project seem to have
Inquired 1T down to Il fine point and to
have entirely satisfied themselves that
lt Is thoroughly practicable. They
claim that cotton can be procured here
as cheaply as in Northern New England
and that there is u market for the en-
tire product at our door; that power
CAN be procured at Is per cent of the
cost in New England, and that there
will he an immense saving in cost of
heating the buildings. The state laws
regarding labor are favorable, and the,
climatic advantages are SAID to he un-
eqtlalled i'm any locality in the United
States, and not excelled anywhere in
the world. In fact, they say that i'm
this climate, using the same amount
OF machinery, and the same number of
people, the product will exceed by ten
per cent that of any other locality i'm the
United States.
