Judging from the amount of silver
that the San Juan County bank has
put into circulation during the past
week they must be doing land office
business. The state is now flooded
with silver coin and everyone who is

medium of exchange has their pockets
filled with the stuff. We are not so
preiudiced against it, however, but
what we will find room for all our
patrons wish to turn our way.
The enterprising residents OF the
Point Lawrence neighborhood, Orcas
island, have nearly completed a sub
stantial wharf at the terminus of the
county road OH the line between the
Wilkins & DERRICK place and Alder
brook farm. It will be convenient
and safe landing place at all times.
There are over 5000 young fruit trees in
that immediate vicinity, a large number
of which have begun to bear, and there
will soon be considerable amount OF
fruit handled at the new wharf. The
next thing will be to open the road
through to Doe Bay. A great deal of
work has already been done upon it by
q very few men, but much more Is
necessary to open the road and make
it passable. There ought to be some
provision of law by which the state or
the county could be required to give
the necessary aid in all such matters.
