A Whatcom dispatch to the Post.
lnteilgencer reports the incorporation
OF the "Straits Fishing Company of
New Mhatcom, capitalized at $3.50, 600.
Inc omcers OF the company are Joseph
Sweeney, president; Charles Wright,
secretary -treasurer; w. H. Brown, L.
n. Maxwell, J. E. Mitchell, directors.
Other members of the company are
yere Neterer, III. Larguad and Frank
Wright. The dispatch further says:
"The new company now owns three
trap locations and controls seven
others, all of them between Dungeness
and Protection island, and about six
miles from Port Townsend. If the
claims of the members of the company
are to be believed, some of whom are
the best known trap men of the lower
Sound, the salmon run in great schools
over the shoals where their traps are
located. If this be true, there traps
would get the first catch of every run
of salmon, as the fish find their way
into Puget Sound from the Straits of
Juan de Fuca."
We challenge any of our beloved
contemporaries i'm the field of high class
literature in the Sound country to cite
an instance of more astonishing IN
crease in the price of horse flesh than
the following: A few weeks ago Mr..
Shultz, of Roche HarbOr, obtained a
horse for SO cents. Il little later when
Assessor Buxton was running at large
increasing assessments of personal
property. he bought the noble steed for
SIS and sent it over to his ranch OH
Orcas to rest and recuperate and regalc
itself upon fresh air, sea breeZes, good
grass and condition powders. 1t was
thriving nicely upon this simple treat
ment when horse buyer from What
com encountered the animal and was
seized with a desire to purchase her
with the intention of selling her at a
substantial profit. With more or less
reluctance-probably less-Mr. Buxton
was persuaded to part with her for SIS,
and the purchaser expected to get 500
for her at Whatceni. Next!
THE ISLANDER has been asked if it
can give any further information about
the Incorporation of tie "Seattle &
Roche Harbor Lime Company" which
was reported last week. The incor-
porators are residents of Seattle, Fair
haven and Whatcom, and the secre-
tary is "Judge" Thos. Tallentire, form
erly stenographer for the Roche Har-
Dor Lime Company and now occupy
ing q similar position in the employ Ut
the Pacific American Fisheries Com
pany at Fairhaven. The company has
leased for one year fifty-ffve acres OF
land at the north end of Henry island,
including the old lime kiln operated
there some years ago, and it is its re-
ported intention to repair and operate
the kiln and build substantial wharf
and a building for the occupancy of the
employees, this work to begin within q
few days. The location is about mile
from the great works of the Roche
Harbor Lime Company, with which
it is hardly likely that the new com
pany expects to compete in the lime
market. It is possible that it may in
tend to utilize its product in the manu-
facture of fertilizer at the works of the
Pacific American Fisheries Company.
