The proceedings of the board of sup.
ervisors have been sent out in supple
ment form to the various county papers
for several years back, and one by one
the publishers have been saving off on
distributing them gratis. At the ses-
sion Of the board last week IA motion
was made to allow the papers $500
each for folding them In their edition,
but the motion was lost.
There never was "a time when news
paper advertising was so popular as it
is now, nor was there ever period
when it returned greater results to
those who place their wares in a proper
light before the public. The wide
awake merchant no more thinks of
shutting his business out from the
newspaper field than he thinks of liv-
ing without eating. Newspaper adj
I-yertising is necessary TO success. Look
about you and see who it is that takes
the lead in business. 1t is always the
house that keeps its name prominently
before the public through the local
papers. The people nowadays are al
ways on the lookout for bargains, and
it is to the newspaper advertising
columns they turn to before buying
The wide awake advertisers are the
people who do the business of the
country.
At the election next month voters in
this city will have an opportunity of
voting on the proposition to allow the
Common Council TO contract for street
lighting for a period of five years, the
cost for the same not TO exceed 81, 900
per year. If we ever have a system of
street lighting 1T will be necessary to
authorize the board of aldermen by
vote to secure it. The proposition TO
grant the council power to use one
thousand dollars year for that pur-
pose does not necessarily mean that
such an amount shall be raised. If in
its judgment "a few lights can be placed
in different parts of the city and render
good service for present needs at a cost
OF one or two hundred dollars yearly
that will be the sum to be raised by
tax. Our citizens need lights in the
streets on dark nights very much and
every one is pleased with a well light
ed city.
There was hall full of people with
the usual complement of standing room
only at the Opera House last night
when Fred Smith called the Republi-
can meeting to order as chairman. a
special feature on the stage was the
presence OF a large number OF young
men. Mr.. Smith said he regretted to
announce the inability Of Bingley II.
Fales to be present, who was called
back TO Detroit and was obliged to
cancel his date here, but said we were
fortunate in having with us, George
e. Nichols, chairman OF the county |
committee, whom he introduced. Mr.. |
Nichols, too, felt the disappointment |
Out proceeded to make so good a /
speech that he was loudly applaudcd
many times by his unanswerable logic |
and sallies OF wit and humor in illus
trating a point He talked for an hour
and quarter, holding the large aud
fence TO the close. He appealed
strongly to Republicans TO return our
and elect members of the
legislature and make clean sweep of
the whole ticket. He thought there
was no question about electing our
ticket II Republicans would do their
duty.

of the people, and sentiment ia running
pretty high. People are getting tired
travelling trails aud climbing fences
they want q road, and it looks toe
much like boys play the way they

EDITOR IsLANDKR-Dear Sir: Hav.
ing just returned from a western trip
including the San Juan islands, I take
the trouble to send you . few lines,
which may be considered words Of
criticism; but at the same time / want
you to understand that II is . very
friendly motive and because Of my
friendllness that I write you ct all.
Your islands present many attractions,
and the Inhabitants seem to desire to
attract the favorable attention of the
world, yet the one thing which they
omit to do. is the one thing which first
they should proceed to do, and that
10 for each one to strive to make his
place, especially il it is along the shore,
the show place of all the islands, or in
palmer words, to make his place as at
tractive as possible 10 the hundreds,
and where there should soon be tilous-
ands passing by on the steamers. These
hundreds do not 60 into or see the In
terror and know very little about it,
but they do see the shore, and with
the proper attention and care, with ali
the shore places made as beautiful as
possible you will soon create an en-
thusiastic desire on the part Of the
passerS by to know more about you
and to possess part Of your Ownings.
Now must confess to something Of
disappointment when first saw your
islands, for had had my imagination
painted with q lurid light, and yet
while / would not term the improve.
ments poor and forbidding, I can
scarcely call them beautiful, yet you
and know they ought to be, aud eau
he made very beautiful. But 1t ne
quires muscle and money, and by
liberal use Of the former I believe you
will be enabled to acquire your share
Of the latter, for Of all the places Of
which I now know in all tho west,
there Is none that 90 pleases me as the
San Juan islands, aud I have the hope
that myself and many friends will
sometime become your neighbour. It.
occurs to me that II the shores Of the
islands were improved as much as it
possible for you do and all are with
each other In making his place the
most attractive, that the hundreds
passing by would SO loundly sing your
praise, that the multitude would soon
flock to your shores by the the thous-
ands, and become enamoured with the
beauty they would witness, and your
present desires then become fulfilled.
Be not weary in well doing, for It is
only necessary ito know you but love
YOU" I do not know why in the
future not far off you -shOuld not be-
come health, pleasure and industrial
center. 1t is my sincere wish that
the smiling face Of the sun of prosperity
will soon be beaming upon you, and
that he will send wave over you that
will shake the rocks that surround you.
Yours respectfully,
