PEVILLE, THE COUNTY SEAT OF ISLAND COUNTY

OUPEvILLE. the county seat Of
IN Island county. Is delightfully."- stu
ated on WILDLY island. which is
~ the largest in the county. and Is
about fifty miles long. varying in
width from one to six miles. Coupeville Is
located ON the eastern side of the island
on the shores Of the beautiful bay called
PENIS cove. A fine view Of Mount Baker
and the Olympic range adds much to the
picturesqueness of the little town. Good
roads traverse the island in all directions.
connecting the outlying farming settle-
ments with the town.
Ono of the Oldest ON the sound.
The town is one Of the Oldest on the
Sound. 1t was founded and named by
Capt. Thomas Coupe, one of the early pio-
neers of the state. 1t was favorite re-
sort for the Indians long before the whites
arrived. The county seat was moved from
Cleveland to Coupeville some years ago.
Educational Facilities.
WILDLY academy offers as good educa-
tional facilities as any school of Its KIND
on the Sound, giving its pupils the adj
vantage of a regular high school course.
The public school employs thoroughly
competent teachers and is held nine
months IN the year.
Churches.
Congregational and Methodist churches
are firmly established and each has a
good following, each owning handsome
edifices that would do credit to much
larger towns. The ladies of the w. C. Il.
u. own a commodious hall.
Fraternal Societies.
Among the fraternal societies the Ma
sons, Eastern Star, Odd Fellows, Re-
bekahs Woodmen of the World and A. o.
u. w. are well represented and each soc.-
ETY. appears to be in fiourishing condi-
ton.
Industries.
The sawmill owned and operated by the
Island Manufacturing Company is kept
busy ten hours each day. In connection
with the MILL Lovejoy Bros. own large
carpenter shop and shipyard. The fruit
dryer is owned by G. I. Terry and when
in full operation gives employment to
about twelve men. Coupeville is backed
by one of the most prosperous farming
communities In the state. 1t is rightly
called the garden spot of the Sound"

sures good crop every year. Oats yield
more than 20 bushels to the acre. Wheat

NOW IT FEELS TO BE HELD UP.
A Graphic Tale of the Recent Train
Robbery Near Chicago.

Say, thought 1t was all joke at
first" said E. NJ. Morton in telling of the
recent hold-up near De Kalb, Ill. "A
brakeman jumped aboard my car after
the engineer had obeysd the stop signal
and brought the train to a standstill. The
brakey had his hands above his head and
looked real funny. He turned about, fac
ing outward. That's all right l said,
you can put your hands down now But
he didn't put 'em down. Well 1 says,
in a tone meant to reassure him, put 'em
down, why don't your He didn't look
around at all, but replied in voice that
sounded as though he had chill: This
is no Joke
Some one outside then says, Shut upv

what he was talking about. and / then
turned my face around against an awful
big gun. Soon another clerk was put in
the car, and he had his hands heavenward,
too. and kept them there, and began to
realize that the thing was no comedy.

then, and we didn't look bit funny.

Many of the farmers own large prune

has not received the attention to which It

Years ago the government ascertained
through the engineer officers Of the war
department that Grays harbor would. II

on the Pacific coast. There were the
usual reports filed at washington. the
customary estimates and bills introduced
in congress. and finally contract was let
and the work was begun.
The contractors were given the dob OF
laying.a long line of rocks, which. when
finished. will stick up above the ordinary
high tide several feet and will extend
in straight line. veering slightly to the
south. from the sand spit on the south
side Of the harbor to a point far out at
sea. and in fact five miles from the main
land. From the end Of the jetty the
view will be over the blue and wide Pa
cinc as far as the eye can reach.
The government at Washington holds
one man in this state responsible for tho
work at Grays harbor. That man is
Capt. Harry Taylor. Of this city, one Of

army. Capt. Taylor returned few days
ago from an official inspection of the
Jetty at Grays harbor.
