On Tuesday we received sample of
Italian prunes, dried in Mr.. w. O..
Clark's new fruit drier. They are large
In size, and very sweet and tender, and
are as choice as we have ever seen or
tasted. Mr.. Clark estimates his yield
OF fresh prunes at about thirty tons but
on account of not getting his drier in
operation as early as he hoped to, he
will lose portion of them. He is now
operating his drier night and day and
hopes to get several tons of the dried
product. Such fruit as he showed lis
should have no trouble in finding
ready market, and at good prices

The steel bark 'IMennock," Captain
Thompson, was lowed into this port
last Thursday evening by the tug Ia
coma. She comes here under charter
to BalfOur, Guthrie & Co., who will
load her with sockeye salmon for Liver
pool and will have her ready for sea in
about two weeks She is a very trim
and handsome vessel and is 1856 tons
register. Her last sea voyage was from
Peru to Vancouver with a cargo Of
sugar and since her arrival there, about
four months ago, she has been lying at
anchor, waiting for the salmon pack.
This is the first large vessel to come to
this port, and is quite an event in the
lives of some of the old residents here.
She will take about $4,000 cases from
the Island Packing Co. here and will
likely complete her cargo at Seattle
In all she will have in the neighbor-
hood of 10000 cases.
Rev. J. M. G. Warren, who has been
pastor Of the Presbyterian churches at
Friday Harbor and Lopez, resigned
his charges October l. On account of
the state of his health and wishing to
take much needed rest, he only con-
scented to serve this year or until an
other pastor was secured, and Rev.
Arthur B. Cort having expressed his
Willingness to take the passionate of the
churches October list, he resigned as
above stated. Mr.. Warren has served
these churches for over six years and
leaves them united, harmonious, and
prosperous, and takes with him not
only the respect and best wishes of his
church members but also of all the
people of the community. Rev. Ar
thur B. Cort. his successor, comes here
highly recommended and has already
moved his family into the Carter house
OH Spring street, and takes active
charge at once of the work OF the two
churches. He breaches here both
morning and evening next Sunday;
and also in the Valley church in the
afternoon We are sure that he will
receive the same courtesy, kindness
and welcome that has always been ac-
corded to Mr.. Warren, and that his
family will be quite an addition to the
society of Friday Harbor and Lopez.
A reception will be given them this
evening at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. A. Gould, and a general invita-
ton is extended to all who may desire
| to meet them.
