ATTENTION is particularly directed
to the notice of County Treasurer Muir
ray, published to-day, calling i'll for
payment all outstanding county war
rants on the general fund. The aggre-
gate amount is approximately $3.50,
and the treasurer states that after pay
ing it all there will still he left several
hundred dollars exclusive of the re-
ceipts from taxes which became due
this month. This is most excellent
showing and the treasurer is to be COM
mended for promptly utilizing surplus
county funds to stop unnecessary in
terest accumulations. The county's
total debt is now represented by the
$4,000 of six per cent funding bonds.

In the acknowledgements interview
with Mr.. John H. Hughes, published
i'm THE ISLANDER last week, there
we're three excellent suggestions which
we commend 10 the Orchardists OF this
county, viz, that barrels instead OF
boxes should be used for packing ap'
pies for long distance shipments; that
growers 'should do away with many
of the varieties they are now raising
and confine themselves to a few of the
best kinds" and that "they should
also hold frequent meetings where the
various phases of the culture are dis
cussed, the same as is the custom in
Southern California" If the orchard
lists of the county would organize a
horticultural society for the purpose OF
promoting not merely the production
of fruit but the proper methods of
picking, grading, packing and ship
ping, it should soon become an inn
portant aid to one of the county's
most important industries. If month
ly or even quarterly meetings were
held at some convenient point, and East
Sound is probably the most conven-
lent for majority of the fruit growers
of the county, great deal of good
might be accomplished. We have re-
peatedly suggested the organization of
a county board of trade and still hope
that the idea may yet find favor with
those of our citizens who should be
foremost in such work, but whether it
does not there is room and need for a
properly organized and well conducted
horticultural society.

PATRONIZE HOME PEOPLE,

THE ISLANDER desires to again call
attention to the advertisements of Fri
day Harior merchants, and especially
to the published price lists of staple
commodities. We have yet to hear a
single complaint that goods sold by
any merchant advertising in THE
ISLANDER are not precisely as repre-
sented, or that honest weights and
honest measure are not given. The local
merchants are among the largest tax
payers in the county and they pay their
taxes cheerfully and promptly. They
are not asking the trade of their fellew
citizens on any other than just basis,
and on that basis they are entitled to
it. There are some classes of goods
that they do not handle, such for in
stauce, as furniture, carpets, wall paper,
stoves and heavy hardware, and THE
ISLANDER publishes advertisements OF
nonresident firms which make special
ties OF these lines and whom we know
~ w ASAaVASs 4AC uctuS vi ulOSC I0IQI>
lies, however, can be almost entirely
supplied by local merchants and it is
OF course only to the extent that they
are able to compete with nonresident
dealers that they ask or expect the
trade of their fellow citizens. Upon
even approximately equal terms they
are certainly entitled to the preference
over merchants who bear no part OF
the county burden of taxation. Many
farmers and others in the county regu
larry receive the price lists and circu
lars of Seattle merchants, and from
localities that are not convenient t.
well stocked stores, and perhaps from
some that are, n'any orders are doubt
less sent to city dealers. These orders
In nearly all cases at least, must neces
sarlly be accompanied by the cash, o
settlement effected Immediately upol
receipt OF goods. Now we suggest t.
those of our fellow citizens who ma,
be In the habit of sending to the cite
for their groceries, etc., that they firs
give their local dealers a chance to al

che 0ficial Paper Of San Juan County
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1899


An event of very great importance
to the interests of this county and Sec
ton of the state is the organization OF
the Pacific American Fish Company
and the purchase by it of three call
neries, probably, and forty-six traps.
OF the canneries one is located here,
one at AnacOrtes and one at Fairhaven,
and fourteen at least of the trap loca-
tions are within the limits Of this
county. It IS not denied that the
Island Packing Company's cannery
and five traps are included i'm the great
deal, and Shultz Il Gross admit having
sold their two traps at the entrance to
Mosquito pass, although they will
operate chem this year Oh their own
account, having made contracts for
the seasons catch at prices which it
is said will net them about $4,000 for
their locations and the seasons output.
In Whatcom dispatch to the Post
Intelligencer the consideration for the
Island Packing Co.'s property is given
as $125, 900, which is believed here to be
approximately correct. An aban-
doned location of the Island Packing
Company at the north end of Henry
island is said to be included and to
have brought $1,000, and $4,000 is re-
ported to have been paid for the Long
Al for ri hxy MN,
Shultz and r. E. Davis. Mr.. Shultz
sold his interest just before the COM
bine was formed to Mr.. Myers, the
Seattle canneryman, and he laughing
ly admits that he only received $1,000
for it, although he was offered several
thousand dollars more before he made
the transfer or gave scrap of writing
obligating himself. He had, however,
given his word and that was enough.
OF the other traps included two are of
Stuart island, one at Eagle Point and
the others are In the vicinity of Deca-
tur island.
THE ISLANDER is informed by a
gentleman whose name figures promi-
nently in the big deal that it is the in
tention of the new company to inn
mediately double the capacity of the
cannery here, provided the necessary
room can be secured, and that the out
lying traps mentioned were purchased
with this idea in view. It is estimated
that the traps belonging to the COM
bination in this county can reasonably
be relied upon to catch enough salmon
to pack 100000 cases. If this is done
here it will necessitate very large in
crease in the capacity Of the cannery
and will require the employment
of large additional force. This will
mean much to Friday Harbor and to
the entire county, and the investment
of the immense sum involved in the
whole great transaction will mean
much to the entire state, for it will at
tract the attention of other capitalists
to other great resources and opportuni-
ties for investment which the state
affords. THE ISLANDER most hearth
ly congratulates those of our fellow
citizens who are the immediate bene-
ficiaries of the big deal, and it trusts
that every possible encouragement will
be offered to the new company to in
crease its operations here.

same cost. As one merchant says in
in his advertisement, "help to build
MP your own county and you will lose
nothing i'm the end. Remember your
home merchants are expected to buy
what you have to sell, and often pay
YOU more than you can get by ship
ping yourselves"

per cent on one of them and thirty per
