A LETTER FROM OLGA.

DEAR EDIToR:-I think you do our
place an injustice in your comment in
last weeks issue of THE ISLANDER in re-
gard to the facilities for the entertainment
of the public at Olga. While we do not
claim the proportions of a full-fledged
watering place, Mr.. Heenan has a very
comfortable place for the entertainment
of the public and has had for the past six
months.
Mr.. John Gray and other old settlers
here tell me that no bass were ever placed
in either of the lakes here since they have
been residents of this vicinity. / know
that some six years ago shipment of
small trout was made, destined for Olga,
but were allowed to perish OH the wharves
at Seattle.
Most of my neighbors, from their con-
versatiOn, would lead a person to believe
that they found their live stock more
valuable after the advent of the assessor
than before.
Mr.. John w. Gray has been rather
feeble for month past, owing to an at
tack of In grippe.
A. Ohlert's new schooner, "Nellie," has
been measured and is now in commits
sion. She is a very nice, trim-built boat.

Spraying Mixtures.

This is the season when frequent refer
ence is made to spraying mixtures for
destroying insects and fungi on trees and
plants. Formulas have been published
often in these columns. but for the con-
venience Of our readers we publish them
again for ready reference. 1t will be well
to keep them where they can be easily re-
ferred to.
Bordeaux Mixture-FOur pounds each
copper sulphate and Quicklime. Dissolve
in barrel Of 40 or SO gallons of water
For use on potatoes increase the copper
sulphate to six pounds. This mixture is
strictly a fungicide. to destroy those
germs which attack either fruit or tree
1t should be on hand all through the sea-
son. 1t is often recommended to use BOr-
deaux in connection with an insacticide;
in that case add to the above mixture
four ounces Of paris green or London
purple. This mixture will destroy leaf
eating insects, and fungi that attack fruit
or tree.
Paris Green Mixture-A good method
for using paris green as spray is to mix
one pound each Of it and fresh lime in 200
gallons of water. Smaller quantities can
be made, using same proportions. This
is an insecticide, but should not be used
ON fruit that is nearing maturity; safest
| in fact not to use it after the blooming
stage.
Kerosene Emulsion-This is made by
churning together to gallons of kerosene
oil, half a pound Of hard soap and ;one

Making tho Bordeaux Mixture.

Farmers who spray will find that they
cannot get along without the Bordeaux
mixture. Potato growers use it for the
blight. Blight of any kind on the fruit
trees is, more or less, helped by its use.
1t will keep grapes from rotting and pre-
vent apple scab. The addition of2i ounces
Paris green to 80 gallons of the mixture is
a very useful combination, and does not
lessen the fungicide qualities of the Bor-
deaux. 1t is just the thing for potatoes
suffering from blight and the potato bug.
Anyone inexperienced who attempts to
make Bordeaux from the formulas as
usually given, will meet with some in
convenience, to say the least. The writer
first made it with the assistance of an
agent of the Department of Agriculture,
and will give the practical details:
Put 30 gallons of water in barrel and
mark where it comes. Take out water
by adding water freely, but do not draw
the lime. Stir thoroughly. After lime is
slaked add water to bring up to 3O-gallOn
mark. This lime solution can be used
throughout the season as wanted. AS for
the copper sulphate solution, put gal
Ions of water in a wooden or earthen ves-
sci and mark. Remove some Of the wa
Ter, anu Ill tue DdlitiiCe IstIiS ID pOuIuS vi
copper sl,lphate Q,lue vitrioD in cheese
cloth bag. In Il few hours it will dissolve,
anu then add water if necessary tO bring
it up to the 6-gallOn mark. To this sOlu-
ton add II gallons of the lime solution,
straining through "a gunny sack. Then
add 224 gallons of water, making 30 gal
Ions i'm all. This is Bordeaux No. l. Fol-
No. 2, and 55I gallons OF water.

DEATH OF EPHRIAM FITZPATRICK.

A Pioneer Of the West Who Served witt
| Lincoln in the Black Hawk War.
Ephriam Fitzpatrick, father of Mrs
II. w. Templin, of East Sound, died
there at his daughters home Saturday
June 2, at the advanced age of 80 years
months and days, having been con.
fined to his bed but one day. The
funeral took place at East Sound, Mon.
day, and the interment at Bay View
cemetery, Whatcom, Tuesday.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick was in many respects
a remarkable man. 1t is given to but
few men or women to be a witness of 50
many great events; of so many won
derful achievements i'm invention,
science and art; of such remarkable in
dustrial development and educational
and social progress, and at the same
time to be participant, i'm a measure,
In so many of the events which have
made the nineteenth century the most
remarkable in all history. And he was
in full possession of his faculties to the
day of his death.
He was born in South Carolina jan
airy %, 1903, more than seven years be-
fore the overthrow of Napoleon at the
battle of Waterloo aud nearly score of
years before Queen Victoria became
sovereign of England. He went with
his parents to Kentucky when "the
dark and bloody ground" was still
wilderness, and with them settled i'm
Southern Illinois in 1919, passing the
years of his youth and early manhood
among the sturdy pioneers of that rich
section of the then far West. There he
taught school and studied law, and
there he served in the same regiment
with Abraham Lincoln i'm the Black
Hawk war. About 1898 he moved to
Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, and engaged i'm
the practice of law. He was clerk of
the district court for a number of years
and judge of the court for one or more
terms. During the civil war he &C.
cepted an appointment in the govern
ment service at Washington and was
private secretary to Senator Harlan,
afterwards one of the judges of the
United States supreme court, when the
senator was secretary of the interior
under President Lincoln, whose eldest
son, Robert Il. Lincoln, married Mary
Harlan, the judges eldest daughter
After Judge Harlan's retirement from
the cabinet Judge Fitzpatrick re-
turned to his old place i'm the interior
department. He served for many years
rs chief clerk of the United States land
office and was for more than thirty
years i'm the government service. Ac.
companied by his wife, whose maiden
name was Sarah Davis and who was
woman OF many talents and accomp-
lishments, he came to this state in 1893.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick died i'm Fairhaven
about five years ago. Four children
survive them-Mrs. George Byrket,
whose husband is a clergyman in Iowa;
Mrs. J. It. Woods of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa,
mother Of Charles Woods, of East
Sound, now in Alaska; Mrs. Fl. w.
Templin, Of East Sound, and Mrs.
VIM. X. Dinwiddie, wife of,Lieut. DIM
widdie, of the United States army, in
structOr in military tactics at one of the
state schools of Iowa at Cedar Falls.

One OF Our Old Pioneers.

a Ketchikan, Alaska, special corre-
spondent of the Seattle Times, under date
of May q, says: "Mr. j. w. Young of
the popular house of j. w. Young & Son,
of New Town, Ketchikan, is one Of our
old and respected pioneers, having re-
sided in Southeastern Alaska sixteen
years. He moved from Kansas to Fort
Wrangel, Alaska, in 1884, to take charge
of the Presbyterian mission farm at the
mouth of the Stickeen river. After the
burning of the mission in 1887 he carried
the monthly mails between Wrangel and
Wales island, a distance of 200 miles,
sometimes by sail, sometimes by steam
launch, and often by canoe. In 1889 he
started trading post at HOwkan, among
the Hidah Indians, which he operated
successfully for several years. In 1895,
the government having built school at
Saxnan, Alaska, their agent, Mr.. Shell
don Jackson, requested Mr.. Young to
take charge Of the school and try to gather
into it the Cape Fox Indians. This was a
most difficult task. Mr.. VIM. Duncan,
who founded the village of Metlakahtla,
assured Mr.. Young that the Cape Fox In
dams would never fOrsake their old vii
lage to move into a wilderness forty miles
away. Under influences exerted by Mr..
! Young i'm less than two years not an In
dian remained in the old village; all had
moved to Saxman. Having o store at
Saxman his growing business interests
| compelled him to resign. His wife, how
ever, carries on the Saxman school sue
| cessfully. Mr.. Young started the New
Town store last fall, which is doing a
good business, and is very popular
| among the old residents, who are always
ready to encourage and reward pluck and
energy. Mr.. j. w. Young is q son OF the
late Loyal Young, d. D., Of Butler. Pa,
known to Presbyterians everywhere as
| author and preacher.

Mr.. Estyn Chalmers has commenced

Sheep shearing has commenced, and

Deer Harbor, Orcas and West Sound
Sunday schools will hold Children's
Day exercises, June "a, at West Sound.
By the looks of the serpentine track
which we saw between West Sound
and Orcas Mr.. Reddig must have a
bicycle.
Mr.. George Meyer, of Orcas, was in
Whatcom on business last week. He
disposed of some of his WhatcOm city
property.
1t has been decided to hold the west
end Fourth of July celebration at West
Sound this year. Either Orcas or Deer
Harbor were entitled to it, but as the
bad weather last year made the celebra
ton at West Sound almost failure,
and as there is balance of. some dol
lars due on our hall which would be
good thing for all concerned if it we're
paid, it was decided to try it here again.
And we are confident that Orcas and
Deer Harbor will do all in their power
| to make the day a rOusing success.
Decoration Day at West Sound passed
off very pleasantly, quite a large mum.

sisting of singing, recitations, and short
addresses by Messrs. Ben Harrison, O.
Il. Loos, Adkins and others. The
church was beautifully decorated with
flowers and bunting. A picture of the
grand old hero, General Grant, was
| hung over the entrance door so that
everyone passed under it. There were
quite number present from Deer Har.
Dor and Orcas. When leaving the har-
Dor the steamer Thompson gave a
friendly salute, which we all appreci'
ated.
We stated last week that the prune
crop on Orcas would be light this sea-
son, but since that writing we have
visited great many orchards and find
that the trees are well loaded-in fact
more than they should have; but. o.
course the italian variety will shed
more or less. The only trouble will b.

When School Is Over.

When school is over and careless and gay,
We've finished the work of the year;
When the book and pencil are hidden away
Till the autumn shall come, fear;
What wonderful plans we all Of US make,
How much we are going to do,
And what good resolves we have formed to
break
Ere the first long month is through.
When school Is over it somehow seems
That the days go fitting past;
lust long enough for our golden dreams
That follow each other so fast.
Aud the works undone that we meant to do,
And we've broken every rule,
When we find at last that the summers
through,
And the bells are ringing for school.
