The Island Packing Co. have lust
finished driving the piles for another
fine trap near Eagle point, on the south.
east shore of San Juan island. The
new location is considered by all ex.
perienced fishermen as a first-class one.
and it is to be hoped their opinion will
prove to be correct. Plenty of fish
means plenty of work and lots of mon
| ey. This is what we are all after.
Judge l. J. Lichtenberg, of Seattle.
has purchased the Kent place on Lopez
island, and expects to reside there with
his family in the future. The Judge
expects to go into the chicken business
on an extensive scale, and has secured
the services of Mr.. H. E. Tuck, a man
OF large experience in this line. The
judge is an active, experienced and
energetic business man, and his
coming to our county to reside will
prove q valuable addition.
Mr.. w. f. Robinson, president and
manager of the Robinson & Colt Co., of
Seattle, manufacturers of fish fertilizers,
oils and CLUES, spent some time here
this week considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of establishing a plant at some point in
the county for manufacturing CONNER
cial fertilizers, and ammonia and uti-
lizing dogfish oil. 1t is understood that
he is very favorably impressed with
the situation, though not yet entirely
satisfied that the firm could secure all
abundance of the "raw MATERIAL at
reasonable cost.
Mr.. C. II. King, late of Seattle, has
leased the dining department of the
Tourists hotel aud intends to run it as
thoroughly first-class short order
restaurant, serving meals at all hours,
and at all times will try and serve his
patrons with not only the substantials
bat all the luxuries the market affords.
Mr.. King states that he is also an eX-
perienced butcher, and will at all times
have fresh meats for sale so that he can
supply the local demand with the best
that can be procured and at the lowest
market prices.
County Treasurer August Void re-
ports that taxes are now being paid
quite fast and gives it as his opinion
that but few will go unpaid, to become
delinquent. All who can possibly raise
the money to pay them should do so
before the first of June and. avoid the
fifteen per cent interest which attaches
after that time. This would prove a
heavy burden on almost every resident
of this county. If you cannot pay all
now, gay the first half at least and then
have until December LIST to rustic the
balance.
