A wealthy gentleman from the east.
VINO has had many years experience in
the poultry business, has recently pur-
chased 400 acres on Bainbridge island.
near Eagle HarbOr and not far from
the great Port Blakely mills, opposite
Seattle, on the west side of Elliott bav.
he now has some twenty carpenters at
work on buildings, also large force of
men clearing land. He is the owner of
q large chicken ranch In New Jersey.
and also one In Michigan, or Wiscon-
sin, and he expects to bring here, lust
as soon as he can get his place ready
for them, some 1900 head OF poultry.
There Is evidently good money in the
poultry business, as this gentleman
states that he started business several
years ago with but very little means
and out of this business alone has
amassed large fortune.
The writer's visit to "Gem Farm
the Lichtenberg place on Lopez island,
the last Of the week, convinces him
fully that this place is well aud appro-
prlately named. It is q gem in every
way. All the cOnveniences that Que
could expect in such place are to be
found here. The buildings are all put |
up In substantial manner and we'll
looked after, and the grounds about the |
place are fast being put in shape. What |
this county needs Is q few more such |
places as this and the Hudson place OH
Shaw island, owned by Capt. H. III. |
Hudson, to beautify our water front. |
1t would be one of the best drawing |
cards our county could have. Many
tourists Judge our county from what |
they ale able to see while passing |
through OH our boats. We hope that |
many others will see the importance of
this and will follow the example set by |
the above named gentlemen.
