will be glad to learn that Alex Keav
who for long time acted as purser OF
this favorite steamer, is again back in
his old position. He is not only a pen.
eral favorite along the Thompson's Fun.

ployed in this capacity by the Thomp-

ing the boat some time ago he has been
on the City dock, in Seattle.
Mr.. NJ. r. Lundblad. of Argyle, who
went to San Francisco some six weeks
ago i'm search of medical treatment, is

from San Francisco to the effect that

The organization of the San Juan

Sunday at a meeting held at the "Cor-
ners." The present board of managers
is as follows: Mathew CoghIan, Pat

and VIM. Cakes. The officers APP
pointed by the board are, president,
DR.. w. 7. Martin; vice-president, M.
r. Noftsger; secretary, Norman Fra
zier; treasurer, G. b. briggs. The OBJ
ject of the club will be to protect the
game and fish on the island, and also
to procure new game birds for breeding
purposes. A start has already been
made in this direction, nine Chinese
pheasants having been received and
turned loose in the Valley. 1t is to be
hoped that the club, assisted by our
prosecuting attorney, will enforce our
game laws and promptly prosecute any
and all persons violating the same.
