The Anacortes American pronounces
THE ISLANDERS "True Fish Story"
published editOrially some time ago
"a sensational fake" The article in
question referred in a general way to
the organization of five paper fish COM
panies in which Mr.. F. L. Lord is the
moving spirit, and particularly to the
intention of the Oceanic Canning Co.,
of Richardson, to send the fish caught
in their traps in this county this year
to the canneries at Ladders Landing,
on the Fraser river, to be canned, in
stead of packing them at Richardson
as was supposed to be the intention
when the company was organized.
The American says that Mr.. Lord
knows of ''no reason why his name
should be connected with the Richard
son deal" Well, we will tell him one.
On or about the Goth of December the
editor of THE ISLANDER heard Mr..
Lord say, on board the steamer State
of Washington enrOute down Sound
from Seattle, that the Richardson COM
pany had no intention of erecting a
cannery at that place this season but
would merely build net house and
ship the catch to the Ladner canneries
OH the Fraser. Mr.. Lords authority,
he said, was Mr.. Ladner, who, by the
way, is Mr.. Lords father-in law and
one of the men most largely interested
in "the Richardson DEAL" THE
ISLANDER would be glad to learn that
Mr.. Lord was mistaken i'm his state
ments. but it is more than probable
that he knew what he was talking
about. 1t was not private CONVERSE
ton in which Mr.. Lord was engaged
and hence no confidence is violated in
thus referring to it.

OLGA ITEMS.

Mrs. Bailey talks some of bringing a
stock OF millinery goods to Olga to in
troduce to the spring trade.
The strip of ground opposite the Olga
store is being cleared up in great shape.
Mcdonald Jr. is head contractor.
Mrs. Bailey and daughter, after
spending some two weeks Oh the ranch
and in and about Olga, returned home
by the Buckeye, Tuesday afternoon.
A great number of our people were
out walking and enjoying the fine
weather last Sunday xhich gave Olga
rather lively and a pleasant appear
ance.
William Emch drove the first team
of horses and wagon on to Olga's new
wharf, John Ohlelt the second and til e
Lydia Thompson took the first wood
from it.
Uncle Ben Fillbrook's orchard is all
example of most careful labor. Each
of the four hundred and odd trees hav-
ing been treated so thoroughly by the
wash that there does not remain an un-
done spot throughout the entire num-
Der.
There came near being a clash of
the lanterns at the literary meeting
Saturday evening by some of the
youths present being unable to agree
over a trif1e. But some of the more
sensible, however, cried "stop it" and
hastilities ceased before being carried
too far.
After nearly exhausting the COM
bined strength of three men sea mon
ster is finally overpowered and dis
patched, and the remains carried to
the Olga wharf where crowds viewed
it in wonderment and many declared
their having never before seen one so
large taken in these waters. Last Sat-
urday while cruising IN Buck bay, Sam
Robinson and Joe Reddick's attention
was attracted by man in boat call
ing to lend him a hand. They drew
up along side and finding the man
pulling on spear fastened in some
thing which he was not quite able to
prevent going towards deeper water,
they joined their strength to his and
after some little time, much difficulty
and getting knocked about somewhat
a devil fish was brought to bay, which
measured thirteen feet from tip to tip
and had along his arms over two hun
dred large well developed suckers.
After being allowed to remain on the
wharf few days so all could see him
who wished, he was cast into the bay.

In MemOriam.

Miss Minnie Higgins died at her
home near Friday Harbor on Saturday

months, victim Of consumption. Miss
Minnie was well known to all our peo-
pie on the island. She was 18 years of
age, just at the age when life is the
most beautiful and the sky the bright
est. She was one of those pleasant sun
shiny creatures that carries with them
a pleasant atmosphere, and one whom
everybody loves and she will long be
missed by relatives and friends. She
was most beautiful girl in life, and
what was remarkable. she was still
more beautiful i'm death. 1t seemed as
if the angel of death in atonement for
taking away such sweet young life,
had touched the clay with a beauty

a Temporary Defeat.

After several days Of doubt, it is
now settled that that peerless cham
pion OF free people, VIM. Jennings
Bryan, has been defeated, and that this
country is to be ruled for four years by
the trusts and sindicates dominating
the campaign in behalf of the success
full candidate. But the cause upheld
by Mr.. Bryan still lives and will live
until fruition shall reward the hopes
of all who yet believe that self-govern-
ment by the people is not a "craze. "
The REGISTER is of course very small
factor, but its editor promises that.
God spariug his life, not an issue OF
the paper shall be put forth during the
coming four years but shall bear evil
dence that the cause of Free Silver is
neither dead nor dying. And the end
shall crown the work.

Grand Old Missouri.

It is a source of great satisfaction
and pride to Missouri Democrats that,
in the wavering notes heard from many
States, Missouri strikes note OF I'M
usual clearness and strength. In this
State Democracy is not only trium-
plant but exultant.
This victory has been achieved in
the face of a particularly persistent
and pestilential effort to divide Demo
cratic councils, and to bring defeat on
the lines of division. A combined ef-
fort was made in which cuckoos and
crumb-chewers sought to strangle the
party. - uis
But all these efforts failed: MIS-,

most gloriously.-Post- DtspGtch.

Curious Inventions.

Take out inventive genius, says the
american artisan, and this would be
a sorry world. A mere enumeration
of some of even the lesser wonders that
wave of the magicfan's wand of Yam
kee ingenuity has given the world Is
full of suggestion. Here is a little
wrinkle of invention that is simplicity
itself The Larvae of Nocturnal moths
have always been bette noir to apiar-
lists, as they have great prediction
for honey and young bees. Automatic
machinery run by clockwork for open
ing and closing these hives would be
quite expensive Inventive genius
tackles this problem and finds a ridi-
cdlously simple solution. When the
hens go to roost, their weight on the
perch may be utilized for actuating a
mechanism which shuts the doors of
the beehives. When the shrill chanti-
cleer welcomes the dawn of another
day with his cock-a-doodle-do and the
hens fly down to go worm grubbing,
the doors of the beehives open again.
The two little strips of cork on the
nose pieces of eyeglasses make them
vastly more comfortable, as many of
US can personally testify, yet optical
science had shaken off her swaddling
clothes for quite number of years be-
fore the cork strip came forward.
Other inventions that we have noted
from perusal of that most interesting
volume. the Patent Report are artifi-
| cial hens eggs, where shells are made
by blowpipe from moist compost
tion of lime and gypsum. The whites
are made of sulphur, carbon and beef
fat, and the yelks of beef blood and
magnesia colored with chrome yellow.
May we be delivered, exclaims the ar
tisan editor, adding, the good old
fashioned hen egg is good enough for
US.
A month or two ago patent was is

Continuance. By contracting the brows
your hat would be automatically lifted

For armless men this might be a good
thing. Another inventor wants to go

give US a seaweed whisky. 1: that
