Raw Sugar.

CWillett & Gray's Latest letter.
The week under review has been
quiet and steady at the decline noted
last week. All the sugars that were
offered for sale on that basis were
readily taken by refiners who were un-
able to secure as large a quantity as
they were prepared to buy. During the
week a much firmer tone developed
and business became -impracticable on
the old basis by reason of the higher
pretensions of holders. \ few parcels
were offered at Lice. per pound ad-
vance, which refiners refused to pay,
having sufficient supplies for the pres
ent. and holders finally accepted cur
rent quotations rather than store the
sugar. Raw sugars have had such a
large advance that it is fair to expect
that any further advances will be
made more slowly and haYe less infiu-
ence on the general situation.
1t will be noted that purchases o;
beet sugar for America have com
menced again, our cable advices show
ing 10000 tons freight room alread!
contracted for. We estimate that oui
refners will require about 100000 tons
European sugars, between this dat'
and October LIST.

FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS.
1t is a fact that people in purchasing
a bicycle should always get a high
grade wheel. They save money by so
doing and there is more satisfaction
in the use. 1t is fact, that the Ster-
ling bicycle is built like a watch" is
of the highest grade, and is the wheel
least seen in the repair shop. 1t is
fact. that the wearing quality is of SUI
preme Importance in a wheel especial
" as construction is now so nearly
perfect that there are but few oppor-
tunities for general material improve
ment II is a fact that the Sterling
will last several seasons, with ordinary
care. and miles, running into the tens
of thousands, may be ridden before any
repairs are needed. 1t is fact that
the factory price of the Sterling wheel
to dealers is higher than that of any
other wheel and it is also fact that
the Pacific Cycle & Mfg. Co. sell the
Sterling wheel to customers at a very
small margin of profit. 1t is a fact
that honest repairers OF bicycles VIII
advise you to purchase a Sterling. II
is fact that purchasers of Sterling
wheels are always satisfied and I'M
solicited testimonials will be shown on

bicycle was. at the great National EX-
position at Brussels, Belgium, the only
bicycle which was deemed worthy oil

Michael BOYLE was arrested last
evening upon complaint of Mrs

street. 1t is alleged that he came over
to the. Hughes home and made some
threats. He finally left, and said that
he would return in a short time ana
kill the first person who inter
fered with him. In the meantime
officer Nielsen had arrived on the
scene, and when Boyle returned he
was escorted to the station. Not until
he was searched at the Jail was /;

The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1899-12-21

THE law recently passed in North
Dakota prohibiting the marriage of
persons afflicted with hereditary dis.
ease is quoted with approval by the
Revue Scientifique, of Paris. 1t says:
"Science makes great efforts, often
without effect, to cure and correct dis
eases and abnormalities. 1t would be
much simpler to prevent their occur
renee. Is not prevention in all things
better method than cure? Our era is
not accustomed to the radical customs
of the Spartans, but they certainly
contained much that was good, and
without cruelty it il perhaps impossible
to arrive at the same result" The
trouble with such laws is, Of course,
that their passage by single state is
ineffective and merely drives diseased
persons into adjoining states for the
performance of the marriage ceremony.

ship, but hundreds of farmers have
telephones i'm their homes. One of the
companies in the county named is
strictly a farmers company, it being
operated by eight farmers, who own
everything from franchise to switch

structing the lines was not to build
them for an investment, but as a help
in the transaction of business, and to
give the families some of the social
privileges that are too often lacking on
the farm"
