three children to mourn her death.
In the "West Sound News Items"
January 20, we stated that at debate,
at Orcas, it was decided that our state
laws we're all right, but the Ault was
with the officials and the people in be-
ing too careless. Now our friendly ed
itOr does not want Us to pin our faith
| to the imperfect records. The commits
sioners find that the said petition is in
sufficient to locate q road for the reason
that it gives no description of line Of
the road such as could be found or fol-
lowed. That was the decision of the
debate. Do you see the point? He
takes us up on our date, 1895. We can-
not say how many times it has been
surveyed since that time, but at any
rate we can safely say there has been
more or less expense ever since the year
1895-and not recorded yet! The thing
looks little mixed, but in the mean
time we will wait patiently for our OFF,
Gals to do their duty.
The following resolutions were
adopted by the Deer Harbor Literary
Association, Saturday evening, Janu-
ary 20, 1898:
Whereas, 1t has seemed good to the
Almighty Disposer of Events to remove
from our midst our late worthy and
esteemed fellow member, J. w.
Moody; and
| Whereas, The intimate relations long
held by the deceased with the men,
bers of this society render it proper that
we should place upon record our appre-
citation of his service as member and
