The Steamboat Discussion.

In communication to the Whatcom
Blade, relative to the island steamboat
service, Manager Tho mpson, of the
mail steamer, pertenently says that if
the business men of Whatcom had been
"enterprising" enough to furnish him
bonds for his mail contract when he
went on this route he would have made
Whatcom the haillng port and head
quarters of both the steamers Lydia
Thompson and Delta. When, after the
most diligent effort, he was only able
to obtain the promise there of 81 900 of
the $50, 900 bond required he went to
Seattle where he had no difficulty in
obtaining all the necessary sureties in
two or three days. He adds further
that if the steamer is run in the inter-
est of any particular locality it is San
Juan county, from whose people he OBJ
tains the bulk of his business. In this
connection THE ISLANDER is informed
that all of the discussion in the Blade
about the island steamboat service
arose from the representations made to
Blade reporter by Friday Harbor
business man. The paper, we are sure,
has no disposition to treat the steam
boat men unfairly. It has simply been
imposed upon by erroneous representa-
tons.

The Russian Thistle.

In response to a request from Yaki-
ma, this state, the New York Tribune
gives the following description of the
Russian Thistle:
"It grows from single, small root
six to twelve inches in length, and
reaches to q height of from six inches
to three feet, branching profusely, and
when not crowded forms dense
bushlike plant two to six feet in di-
ameter and one-half to twO-thirds as
high. It has small, narrow, downy
green leaves. The leaves drop in the
warm weather of August and the plant
sends out hard, stiff branches. III
stead of leaves, these branches bear at
intervals of half an inch or less three
sharp spines. At the base of each clus-
ter of spines is papery flower. If
this be taken out and pulled to pieces
small, pulpy, green body coiled up
and appearing like a minute green
snailshell will be found. This is the
seed. When the plant ripens and frOsts
occur it becomes crimson color, and
when the ground freezes winds break
off the small root, and the bulk of the
plant being in circular form, it bowls
over the ground as far as the wind will
carry it, scattering seed at every
bound"

Home Comfort Steel Range.

Messrs A. d. Mcknight and J. B. Sy-
denstricker, statesmen of the Wrought
Iron Range Co., of st. Louis, have
arrived and are taking orders for that
cOnIpany's celebrated Home Comfort
Steel Range. Ills range is made of the
best cold-rolled steel and malleable iron.
All fues are lined with asbestos, and it
is warranted not to warp or break from
heat or any other cause. There are
thousands of them in use in Washington
and Oregon. They give entire satisfac-
ton and last lifetime. Below we pub
fish number of testimonials from we'll
known people in the vicinity of Coupe
vile who are using them:
TO whom it may concern: We. the
undersigned, have each bought one of
the Home Comfort Ranges and have
tried it in every way. We find it perfect
and cheerfully recommend it to any in
need of a cook stove. Yours truly,

certainly the citizens of Friday Harbor
should bestir themselves and see to it
that good live board of trade is organ
lied and systematic effort made to adj
vance the interests of the county, town,
and residents generally. Let us try once
more, put your shoulder to the wheel
and start the good work moving. Don't
wait for your neighbor to ask you, but
come to the front at once. The cost
will be very light but the benefits to be
derived from the work of good live
organization may be very great. 1t
certainly can do no harm. Other COM
munities about us are already begin
ming to feel the good effects of their
work, and why should not we receive
our share if we try. If we set back,
closed up like clam, and have not a
word to say, or reports or statistics to
offer, we deserve to get just what we
are sure to,-left.

THE LAND OF THE WEST

The winter is all around me,
The fields are barren and bare;
A drearlneSs surrounds me,
And a chill pervades the air.
long for q sight of the mountains,
And breath of salt sea air;
l sigh for the music of fountains,
And view of the waters fair.
I dream while 1 am waking,
And lulled tO peaceful rest,
My thoughts in quiet musing
Go back to the beautiful West.
A mirage arises and 10!
The land OF the West behold;
There are mountains all covered with
snow,
And canyons wide yawning unfold.
There are forests of emerald green,
And rivers swift flowing and wide;
There are silvery lakes between,
And beyond the blue rim of the tide.
There are cities new builded and fair,
With their spires and lofty dOmes;
There are farms with fruitage rare,
And their bright and happy homes.
And ships in the harbors sleep,
And ships full freighted to roam;
And ships on the ocean deep,
Are speeding the courses home.
And wonderful isles behold,
AfiOat on a sea of blue,
Babtised in glory and gold,
When the day king bids adieu.
And spread out before my view,
Is a sketch of that beautiful land,
And the sceneries pictured so true,
Are touched by the MASTERS hand.
And a symphony that is grand,
In volumes vast and deep,
Comes to me from that land,
With a mighty swell and sweep.
IT'S the music of rolling tides,
In their endless course along,
Where the commerce Of nations rides,
In storm and sunshine and song.
IT'S the music of rolling waves,
That are hurled on the rock bound
shore,
When the sea god rants and raves,
With loud and angry roar.
IT'S the song of the giant frs,
That are kissed by the Ocean breeze,
When the depth of the forest stirs
In the breath of the rolling seas.
And the sound of that music thrills,
And my pulses bound and swell;
My heart with rapture it fills,
And with feelings / cannot tell.
And my love goes out to you,
And your love comes back to me;
And long for the waters blue,
And the isles of that sunset sea.

it occurs treatment should be promptly

ribly frequent, and thousands upon thou
sands of fatal illnesses occur every year

and seemingly trif1ing symptoms. Be-
