referred to Is an old one, established
years ago, Of which there is plat and
record that any taxpayer can see II he
so desires. When that road was viewed
| it commenced at the school house In
district No. and followed an old road
that was made by the Hudson Bay Co.
and used to get from the main station
to the branch stock stations on the
island, and was also used by US early
settlers. The first school house was
built on that road, and the only store
and postoff1ce were at the old Hudson
Bay landing,l afterwards named San
Juan Town; wherefore it became nee
essary to perpetuate that road while it
could be done by mutual agreement all
along the route. A few years since a
new district was formed of the west
half of distrit No. l, which necessitated
the building of new school house in
the center of the district. After San
Juan Town was abandoned and Friday
Harbor and Argyle sprung into prom
inence it was necessary to make
changes in the roads for public conven-
fence, and as consequence portions of
roads have fell into disuse and have
been closed, being Of no public utility,
and are now pastures and fields with
growing crops. The portion of the road
Of which am writing and to which l
solicit particular attention, is from the
western boundary Of P. Beigen's farm
in an eaterly direction through said
farm, thence through the farms of
s. v. Boyce, ST., s. Y. Boyce, Jr., and
D. w. Cakes, and terminating at the
eastern boundary of the said Cakes.
All of that portion of the road has not
been used for years and should be
legally vacated. In reply to III. A.
Armstrong's assertion that but one tax
payer would be benefited, do assure,
personally, all whom he addresses that
he published, over his signature, what
he knows to be deliberate and unmit-
igated falsehood. There are three FAM
lies, III. A. Armstrong, d. w. Cakes
and John Buckley's, that have chill
dren who attend school and there is no
other road by which they can get to
the sthOol house, nor upon which we
farmers can take our produce to mar
ket. There is, therefore, likely to be a
petition to vacate the portion above
named and save the 81 900 referred to
by III. A. Armstrong.

The steamer Roche Harbor made a
trip to Victoria last week and then went
to Everett with two scOw loads of lime
rock for the smelter.

of forty tons of hay from Anacortes.
Jim Campbell had two fingers of his
right hand quite badly bruised few
days ago and Is undergoing repairs un-
der the direction of DR.. Harrison. The
doctor is also attending one Of the Burr
boys who is suffering from quite seri-
GUS wound in one Of his feet, made by
dropping cross-cut saw upon it. The
other foot he very nearly cut off with
an axe some years ago while cutting
wood for Jim King at Friday Harbor.
President McMillin, of the Lime
company, returned from Honolulu and
San Francisco, Monday, looking hale
and hearty as ever. He says that his
visit to the little island republic of the
Pacific has served tomake him an even
more jealous advocate of the speedy
annexation Of Hawaii, and he firmly
believes that our government will have
made serious mistake if it allows the
islands to become a dependency of any
other power, as they certainly will If
they do not become possession of the
United States.
DIR. Harrison received another letter
from his brother, Eb, a few days ago,
written at the mouth of Stewart river
early in December, where the mercury
was 80 degrees below zero. His party
had then sunk four holes to bedrock,
on Henderson creek, without having
found any prospects to justify the work
ing of the claims under the adverse
conditions imposed by the mining reg
ulatiOns in force. And he said further
that numerous other holes had been
sunk along the creek with the same re-
suit, no "good pay" having been found.
He expected to go on to Dawson in q
few days to record some claims and
"size up" the situation in the Klondike
capital. All the party were well.
