THERE is room for considerable ex-
pansion in the sheep industry in west
ern Washington before il even approx
imates the proportions which it has
already assumed in eastern Oregon.
One firm at Prineville, Oregon, has
shipped $4,000 sheep to Chicago from
Baker City, and very likely other large
shipments have been made from other
places. Can any of our fusi0nlst friends
'point with pride" to any such ship
ments while wool was on the free
list?O

THURSDAY, SEPT. q, 1898.

THAT was q good-natured and by no
means impertinent comment in our
Edwards correspondence last week rep
resenting the ideas Of some one as to
what local newspaper, and especially
THE ISLANDER, should contain. "It
should give us more solid county
news" says our critic, who suggests
further that eff each correspondent
would write up the leading industry OF
his section and enlarge on the resources
of his particular neighborhood, his
notes would be read with greater in
terest." All this is true enough, no
doubt, but perhaps our critic is COM
paratively new conner, as we'll as an
occasional reader only, and does not
know that the cOunty's industries and
resources have been written up" re-
peatedly in THE ISLANDER and that
its editor has written much concerning
them for other and much larger papers.
Our exceptional scenic and climatic
advantages; the special adaptability of
our soil and climate to the production
of fruit; the advantages offered to the
stock-raiser and dairyman; the wealth
of our fisheries and the value of our
lime industry-all these have been the
subjects of many articles, and we are
grateful at all times for any informa-
ton concerning any of them likely to
be Of general interest or possible value
to the county. Each correspondent is
properly the judge as to what is Of most
interest in his or her own nelghbor-
hood. Often, perhaps generally, these
are "trivial matters" but after all it is
the little things which enter most
largely into the everyday life of the
"common people" at whose firesides
the local paper is most welcome. Posi-
bly, If our critic were subscriber and
regular reader Of THE ISLANDER, in
stead of merely seeing it sometimes"
as he admits is the case, at the expense
of some one else, he might himself be-
come interested in many apparently
"trivial matters" as we'll as in the
larger affairs of our little county. We
note that he says he intends to become
Q subscriber, when he renews his SUBJ
scription to one Of the larger papers
with which we have a clubbing ar
rangement, and we therefore credit
him with his good intentions and shall
be still more pleased to credit him with
the amount of his subscription. It is
only through the regular support and
good will of the county's best citizens
that the publication of any creditable
paper in the county is rendered posi-
BILE. If our subscription list included
the name of every taxpayer and we re-
ceived from each annually the full
subscription price, the likelihood of our
becoming plutoorats before the milleni-
pm would be extremely small.

BROKE HIS COLLAR BONE
A Little Boy Knocked Down by
st. Bernard Dog.
1T WAS ALL DONE IN FUN
The Lad Was Skating Upon the Ice a
the Head of Maple Street When
the Dog Playfully Sprang
Upon His Breast.

The first serious accident reported as
a result of the great number of dogs
with which the city is alive, occurred
yesterday morning. when a big st.
Bernard pup sprang upon the breast of
a little boy, causing him to fall and in
falling he sustained a severe fracture
of the collar bone.
1T is the habit of boys to utilize the
hill at the southern extremity of Maple
street for skating and coasting. On
Maple street is a great number of dogs
and these take part in the fun, run
ming after the lads, and drawing the
sleds. one of these dogs big St Ber-
nard pup, was formerly owned by John
Davies, but Mr. Davies gave him away
to another man some time ago. The
pup. however. still hangs about Mr..
Davies house and refuses to be given
away. This dog is one of those that
. takes part in the boys sports, and yes
terday morning at about 1880 o'clock
he was running after a lot of lads who
were coasting and skating.
Among the boys was the Z or S-year-
old son Of George Erwin He was skat-
ing upon the ice at the foot of the hill
when the pup, in a playful manner.
sprang upon his breast and knocked him
down. The great weight of the dog,
combined with the fact that he was
upon skates. served to make his fall q
heavy one. He came in contact with the
earth with great force. and as conse-
quence the little fellows collar bone
was broken. He was taken into the
house of Mr. Davies, where a physician
reduced the fracture and made the lad
comfortable.

the afternoon, dog catchers will start out
with wagon and take up every dog
that is found without Il tag. On Fri

mere piece of Irvine when the fateful
seven came forth.
With great difficulty Couison's feet
and hands We're finally secured and the
officers started off with him to the city
Jail. By carrying, hauling and drag
ging him they conveyed him about
block, when it became apparent that
Coulson could not be taken in that
way, and a messenger was sent to the
fire department for the hose wagon.
Chief Mentrum responded Immediately,
and when the improvised patrol arrived
CouiS0n was loaded into ii and taken to
the city Jail.
In spite of the fact that during the
long period of time over which the
affair extended, in spite of the fact that
he had not a stitch of clothing upon
him, COulSon was not even chilled
when he arrived at the jail. He was
dressed, and after a rest of an hour or
so was given a bath and doctor called,
who bandaged his head. coulsons
back was badly bruised through COM
ing in contact with the hard street in
his struggles to free himself while he
was being tied. When Coulson arrived
at the Jail he was completely exhaust
ed, but after resting for "a time he SO
far regained his senses as to recognize
one or two people. When he was given
his dinner the blank stare again came
into his eyes, and grabbing up piece
of paper he began wiping off the bars
of his cell. A belt on which was at
tached two handouts was placed
around the demented man. and his
hands fastened to his sides. His feet
were also shackled. During the after
noon Coulson fell into a sfumber and
became quiet.
Coulson has been in the city for
many years. He has for a long time
been employed as a calciner at the
smelters, but of late he has been out
of work. He was always of a very
quiet disposition. and is a man who
never drank a drop. When asked some
time ago why he did not take in a part
ner in his bachelor quarters he replied
that he had asked several, but that all
of them wanted to rush the growler.' >
and he didn't want a partner who
drank. So far as could be learned
Coulson has never before given any
symptoms of insanity. o. late, how
ever he has taken to religion, and his
Bible was his constant companion.
Coulson is a fine specimen or man
| hood so far as outward appearances
go. He stands at least feet in his
stocking feet. The muscles upon his
body stand out in big knots, and his
| shoulders are those of giant Ills
great natural strength, aided by the
! strength that comes to maniacS in their
| fury, served to sustain him in his ter
rible struggle with the officers. There
| are peculiar circumstances connected
with the affair that Ior obvious reasons
cannot be published. 1t is likely that
Coulson will be tried for insanity on
| Monday.
