Miss Sophia Anderson closed her
school at Gravel Hill, the twenty
seventh, with twenty-one pupils
which is saying great deal fol
Gravel Hill, as the children usually
nearly all drop out, toward the
close Of school. We think it would
be a grand thing, were the legisla

to send their children to the free
schools, or take the money of sucl
as will not send, and appropriat,
the same to something else.

Lord Jesus in sincerity. RWA
In this brief time, of little more
than year, in Maryyille, Mr.. Ma

OF his life work. l suppose he has
been asso dated last year and this,

and making good recItations. He
has been thonghtfully observant Of
all the regulations of the institution;
he has been genial in his inter
course with teachers and students;
indeed all these things have been
involved in the christian life which
he has lived among us.
And now, Mr.. Mcguire 0aking

Our, esteemed fellow, student

ThurstOn County Warrants Valid.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 22.-The Supreme court
has reversed the jadgm ent in the case of
the state, on relation Of w. e. Barton,
respondent, VS.. auditor and treasurer Of
Thurston county. Relator in this case
constructed certain water works for the
county, and to pay him therefor the COM
missiOners assigned to him a portion Of
the delinquent taxes of 1894, which he
agreed to receive. This proceeding was
brought to compel the county officers to
give effect to the order in pursuance Of
this agreement. The material points here
involved are: ~ Can the cash assets of
the county be deducted from the outstand-
ing Indebtedness for the purpose of de-
termining it's amount within the mean
ing of tho constitutional provision upon
the subject? ri Can the amount of the
tax roll for the current year and the
amount unpaid upon those of prior years
be treated as part of such cash assets?
The first has already been. affirmatively
decided, and replying to the second ques-
ton, the Supreme court says: "FrOm
the decisions to the effect that the taxes
for the current year can be treated as
part of the cash assets of a municipality

der our system for assessment and col

March 9Th; make it enthusiastic and
show by our interest in it, that we are
determined not to be left behind, for by
careful, united and intelligent effort
San Juan can and must be one of the
most prosperous counties in the state.
Unless we make an effort we do not de-
serve success.
1t has been suggested by several citi-
zens, of late, that subscription paper
be drawn up and circulated for the
purpose of raising fund with which
to secure some choice species of fish to
stock our lakes in the county and also
to get half dozen or more Mongolian
Pheasants to turn out in our grain and
hay fields. If this can be done it will
only be matter of three or four years
when this county would become one
OF the finest sections i'll the land for
the sportsman, "a spOrtsman's para
disc" as both the pheasants and the
fish multiply very rapidly and in
short time the lakes would be alive
with the finny tribe and the familiar
call of the pheasant would be heard
from all sides. This plan, if successful,
would be the greatest card we could
have to induce the tourist and sports
man to come to our county each season
to seek sport. Try and get someone to
start the ball rolling and let all who
are able contribute twenty-five or fifty
cents. Fifty dOllaras would be ample
to do both and it should be no trouble
to raise this amount for such cause.

Ballard School Bonds.

Again the Ballard school district, in
King county, has failed to bond the
district and thereby substitute debt
bearing per cent for one now bearing
8 and 10 per cent. The call was adver-
tised for an issue of $4,000 in bonds,
and three attempts have been made un-
successfully to set the district on its
feet. Three bids were submitted on
Monday the 24th, to County Treasurer
Maple, but all were rejected because
the item "for EXPENSE were so large,
and they will now try again. The bids
were as follows: Seymour Bros. q Co.,
par and interest and a premium of s.,
expenses 5000; w, D. Perkins, $4,000,
expense $500; Theis & Barroll, par and
interest, expense $3.50. All of the above
goes to show the wisdom of our county
commissioners in bonding when they
did and at the figures that they obtain
ed. 1t is very doubtful if advertising
to sell bonds is always the best method
as it opens door for combinations that
private negotiation prevents; however
our commissioners tried both ways;
they advertised in THE ISLANDER and
Pr. but failed to get bid, SO we con-
slider them very fortunate in being able
to do by negotiation what they failed
to do by public notice, and at much
lower figure than other municipal cor
pOratiOns have been able to do.

us, took the boat Sunday evening and
proceeded to Seattle to be gone until

There is considerable of roar going
OH just now among some of the mer-
chants of the Bay Cities about an al
lodged "unjust discrimination" being
made against them by the Lydia
Thompson and some other steamers
plying between there and the islands
by allowing, as they claim, the rates
between Friday Harbor and Seattle to
remain as they were, while they have
been advanced between the Bay Cities
and island points. Therefore, they say
if some relief be not forthcoming, and
that soon, they themselves will place
boat on the exclusive Bay Cities ISL
ands service. This would be all very
nice, but cheap boat rates alone would
hardly be sufficient remedy to allevi-
ate the Bay business mems present
