SMALLPOX ON THE NEWARK.
But No Official Report Has Been Made
REGARDING 1t.

Regarding 1t.
dispatch from San Francisco CAL, says:
Information that smallpox has appeared on
the cruiser Newark has been made known
through letters sent from member of the
crew to relative in this city. While the
vessel was at Vigan, a port in northern
Luzon, two men were discovered to be suf-
fering from the disease and were sent
ashore. That more cases developed later is
evident from letters which came via the
transport Hancock.
The Navy Department has not been in
formed of the reported appearance of
smallpox on the U. S. s. Newark A letter
received here from Surgeon Russell, on
board of the vessel. dated since the ship re-
turned to Manila from Vigan. made no ref
erence whatever to the appearance of
smallpox. Surgeon General Van Reypen
says that even were the report true that
two cases of smallpox had made their an
pearance on the Newark there would be
little cause for apprehension. Every sailor
on a man-of-war is vaccinated at intervals
near enough to insure protection as far as
the virus can guarantee it. and the very
strict sanitary conditions prevailing aboard
ship make the spread of the disease almost
impossible. 1t IS said that there is no rec
ord of an epidemic of smallpox on board
OF modern man-of-war, and such mis-
fortune would hardly be possible.

hospital Tuesday of last week. Mrs.

much longer standing, though 1t was
neither known nor suspected until q
few weeks ago. She grew rapidly wore
and by the advice Of her physician 4,
DIR. Fitz Mathews, was taken to Seattle
July for all operation for the removal
of large tum0r. The operation was
performed OH tile 9th, and while 1t was
considered successful from surgical
standpoint, the shock to her system
was too great i'm her weakened cOndi-
ton and she died the following morn

ried there in 1859. In 1878 the family
moved to this state, settling first ia
Skagit county, near La Conner, but
the frequent Skagit floods made them
dissatisfied there and they moved to
this county eighteen years ago, settling
two and a half miles from East Sound,

Its Formal Opening Decided Success
| A Good Program Rendered.
The reception given by the San Juar

opening Of its newsclub rooms was pro
nounced a great success by all. About
sixty people were in attendance and al
seemed to thoroughly enjoy them
selves. The program committee wa,

active part in the program, but their
places were well filled BY visitors who

duced and made one of the incest little
speeches ever listened to in Friday
Harbor. Next followed solo by Mrs.
COOK, whose singing has charmed all
who have had the good fortune to hear
her. Mr.. COlhoun, who arrived here
IN the afternoon from Fairhaven, kind
~ consented to play violin solo and
he did SO in such a manner as to con.
vince all that he is thorough master of
his Instrument, and both of his selec.
tons were highly appreciated. Rev.
w. }. Dickson, Of Chehalis, made q
short talk, which was highly appropri-
ate to the occasion and caused q good
deal Of merriInent. Mr.. Dickson is an
interesting and pleasing speaker and
always says the right thing at the right
time. The vocal duet by Mrs. Cook
and Mrs. G. S. Wright was we'll rem
dered and much appreciated, as was
also the ladies' quartet, "My Kentucky
Babe" by Mrs. Cook, Mrs. Wright,
Mrs. briggs and Miss Amelia Jensen,
The last on the program was violin
selection by Mr.. Calhoun and Mr.. F. N.
Culver. The next order of the evening
was one i'm which all took an active
part and showed themselves equal to
the occasiOn-supper. Ice cream and
cake, fruit, lemonade, ETC., were served
in sufficient quantities to satisfy all and
all seemed satisfied. Farmer Todd (Mr.

their thanks and express their appreci-

them by the outsiders who so kindly
volunteered their help, aud particular

JAMES FRANKLAND, Clerk.

The fire which destroyed the immense
Swamp Root medicine plant Of DR.. Xiii
mer Il Co., July l, was the most disas-
trous which has ever occurred in Bing-
hamton. However, the Kilmers resumed
business next rIsDrning, though not at the
old stand, which is heap of smouldered
ashes. While the firemen were yet
pouring water on the burning ChenangO
street establishment, the Kilmers were
arranging to do business somewhere else.
That this great industry might not be
crippled for o moment, through the cOur-
tesy of other prominent firms and citi-
zeils, the large factory and adjoining
buildings on South street were vacated
for the benefit Of the Swamp Root people,
and possession was taken Immediately.
and here, by Monday, July 8, this new,
temporary factory will be turning out
Swamp Root, the great Kidney Remedy,
in quantities Of about &c, 900 bottles per
day, and in two or three weeks time the
full capacity of more than four times that
amount will be produced. The immense
demand for Swamp Root will thus in no
way he interfered with.
On the old site, with adjoining property
which has just been purchased. will be
erected Immediately an absolutely fire-
proof six-story structure, plans for which
have been nearly completed.

War on Infected Fruit.

Fruit Inspector w. III. Brown has de-
clared that fruit infected with the Goblin
moth shall no longer be shipped from this
port to Alaska. He has permitted this OF
late, owing to the fact that the moth could
not possibly do any damage in the north
ern country, but taking advantage of his
leniency, the southern growers nave sent
fruit to Seattle that was so badly infected
that Mr.. Brown decided that i'm the future
il would have to be destroyed.
He notified the commission men OF ms
action. 1t is only in the California and
Oregon districts, he said, that the moth
this year has pnt in an appearance, the

Fish Commissioner Little Will Try Il

A special from Tacoma to the Post In.
telligencer says:
A. C. Little. state fish commissioner, is
well pleased with the success of the Baker
lake fish hatchery. which, he says, he is
certain is responsible for the present run
of sockeye salmon about WILDLY island
and Deception pass; and will make an
attempt to introduce the famous royal
chinook Of the Columbia river in the
Sound waters.
1--WE expect to take the eggs at the
Wenatchee hatchery" said Mr.. Little,
''and carry them over the mountains to
the Sultan hatchery, on the Snohomish
river, and hatch them out there. They
will then 20 down into the Sound and /
believe we can stock the Sound with this
splendid fish.
"There was time, in the memory of
many men now fishing on the Columbia,
when the royal chinook salmon were AS
thick in the Columbia river as hump
backs have ever been in the Sound, but
now they are scarce, very scarce. don't
know Of any other place in the world
where the chinoOks are found except in
the Columbia, and II is them that made
the Columbia famous. Now they are
very scarce, but q few of them being
found, and it is question of but q few
years before they will be entirely ex-
terminated" ~
