In the fish trap case entitled McMil-
Ian VS.. Oceanic Canning Co., which
came up for hearing before Judge Winn
at Whatcom, last Friday, no definite
action was taken, but it is altogether
probable that the case will be settled
by dissolving the injunction in favor of
the Oceanic company, as they seem to
be wholly i'm the right in the matter.
Some of the AnacOates cannerymen
will likely tire of jumping locations in
this neighborhood before long as it only
makes trouble and seems to avail them
nothing.
The fish trap site suit in the case en-
titled Davis VS.. Freidenberg, was ar
yued before Judge Winn, at Whatcom,

to enjoin Mr.. Freidenberg
rom driving piles on certain trap
Ute located near Iceberg point on the
'outh shore of Lopez island which has
,een held by Mr.. Davis for some time
,ast. Judge w. H. Thacker, of this
place was counsel for plaintiff, and de-
endant was represented by Judge I. N.
Maxwell, of Fairhaven.
Somebody has brought Mr.. Fred Gull
yer, of The ISLANDER, "some of the larg
st and finest stocks of pieplant we have
'ver SEEM" What will he do with it? Get
married Fred, get Observation-Disclosures
Imperial City News.
Editor Day. of the News, need not
hink for a moment that the pieplant
% cheerfully given this office was left
O decay for the want of consumer.
While the writer is unfortunately
ingle man he has great many good
riends who very much relish any good
.arden truck. The editor and the devil
10Th had their share, and few Of our
riends can also testify as to its size and
inc flavor.
Mr.. John Miller, assistant general
Western passenger agent of the Grea:
Northern railway, was in the Harbor
or short time yesterday OH business,
md while i'm conversation with d repre-
entative of THE ISLANDER stated that
le considered the outlook for this
county during the coming summer and
all first-class. His company has
llready organized colony of about
fifty people who he says have decided
o settle in San Jnan county and will
likely do so late this summer or in the
,arly fall. Mr.. Miller also has two
,ehtlemen in tow who are in this Sec
ion with view to purchasing quite
amount of land for cat
lie and sheep range, and will likely
elect the same on either Orcas or San
Juan. The gentlemen are now Oh
)rcas, but will return here Saturday
md look over San Juan before making
my deal. Mr. Miller is a very pleas
ng talker and pleasant gentleman and
me whose judgment in these matters
AN always be relied upon.
Mr.. Clarence M. Tucker, our we'll
Known and efficient county treasurer,
las been talked of and asked by several
of this county to be CAN
lidate at the next Republican county
for the nomination for
county assessor, but he has positively
md wisely declined to have his name
Used as candidate for any office, stat
ng that the Republican party in San
Juan county have already seen fit to
honor him with two terms of the office
which he now holds, and that he had
,ather retire for the present, at least,
rom the roll of candidates, and forever
,old the goodwill and respect of his fell
ow partisans. He realizes that there are
many other good Republicans in this
county who would not only make us
rusted and efficient officers, but who,
rom financial standpoint, need what
,elp can be given them in this respect.
He saws, il for no other reason, he always
wishes to comply strictly with the spirit
Of the constitution of the state of Wash
ngton regarding office holders, "that no
county, officer shall hold his Office for
more than two TERMS" The foregoing
clause does not say an office, but we
AXE it that in spirit it means this. Mr..
fucker has clearly shown that he Is
lot Republican for revenue only, but
1as the interests of the party more at
leart than he has his own pecuniary
interests.
