w. E. Sutherland, Orcas, Wash.

the existence Of a road that was viewed
through my farm moro than twenty
years ago and surveyed twenty year,
ago, and was used as . public highway
by myself and the public until all that
portion north and west from my farm
fell into disuse. then had . right to
fence In aud use that abandoned road,
more especially where the school house
had stood and occupied . good piece Of
land for more than fifteen years. III. a.
Armstrong bought 40 acres Of land ad-
joining mine, consequently, l am sorry
to say, is my nearest neighbor; Al
these enaanations from his fertile and
effusive brain are hearsay, and heresay
as long ago as can remember was, and
Is today, called q common lier and mis-
chfef-maker, and they who rehearse
wherever it has touched It has conferred
that infection. And it is particularly
applicable in this case. Mr.. Armstrong
tells the public that after he has fixed
his disappearing battery and will have,
1t Is to be presumed, wiped his detested
enemy out Of existence and thereby put
. quietus on the road question. But he
has failed, ignomineously failed. While
hearsay was away foraging for ammuni-
ton the enemy made swoop from his
ancient stronghold and captured his
sentinel, and heresay returned just in
time to apprise his general and they
made for the woods, from which we
may hear Of geurrilla raids. By some
unaccountable means none Of the shots
have taken effect, so the (courteously
addressed) Illustri0us D. w. Cakes yet
remains to treat him with the open and
public contempt to which all such sub
jects Of lunacy and knavery arc en-
titled. In Mr.. Armstrong; informa-
ton to the public, he says that the road
has run through the school house Of
which the district holds q good deed.
Oh, horror Of horrors! imagine my feel
ings when / read that paragraph.
What would the public say? / mentally
concluded, this is what they would
say, that Cakes and Armstrong should
back that road out of the school house
forthwith. Now It Is q fact, and al
though Armstrong asserts that D. w.
Cakes misrepresents things, the public
must believe him when he tells them
that the road has been run through the
school house. We must investigate
this matter. / am one Of the public
and have an individual interest In both
road and house, and II any one has had
the audacity to run my plated road
through, or even into, the school house
and thereby destroyed the deed, run
him in. / feel sure I can prove an
alibi, and let Armstrong III such are
facts) take the full penalty Of the law
made and provided for suckers.

Thompson met with an accident which
laid her up until yesterday. From the
time she left Seattle until she had
crossed the Straits she encountered
very rough weather, but suffered no
inconvenience whatever on account of
this. Her mate landed her at Rich
ardson on Lopez island, but while
backing out from there to leave she
ran onto the rocks east of the dock and
completely demolished her propeller,
breaking off all but one Of its blades.
She was worked around into Barlow's
bay and beached, in the hope that the
tide would fall enough to allow them
to put Oh another wheel which was al
ways carried aboard the boat, but IN
this they were disappointed. A tug
was at once sent for and she was lowed
to Seattle, Sunday, aud put on the
dry dock and her new wheel put In
place. Lieutenant Perry, Of the reve-
nue. launch Guard, very kindly. gave
them all the assistance he could by
bringing her mail here and also taking
it and her mail clerk to Roche Harbor.

Lime ON Acid Soil.

1t appears to have been proved Mt
the Rhode Island station that many
plants need lime on acid soil. While
few are injured by 1t. particularly II
they are grown the same season that
the lime is applied, most of the plants
usually grown In Rhode Island are
either uninjured by lining or else bene-
flied in a greater or less degree. The
great benefit from lime upon the farm
of the experiment station having been
established. further experiments were
conducted for the purpose of ascertain
ing II the form or combination In which
the lime Is applied to the soil has any
thing to do with its effectiveness. The
various experiments conducted for this
purpose have shown that lime, to be of
the greatest possible use, must be APP
piled to the land in the form of air or
water Stacked lime, or of calcium car
Donate carbonate of lime. When ap-
piled In the two first mentioned forms,
most of the lime passes sooner or later
In the soil into the form of carbonate
of line
