The idea of home for old SOL
diers is taking hold in every part
Of the State. Thinking people are
coming to the conclusion that not
only the best interests of indlgcnt
old soldiers ncccssitutes it's early
building but tax payers believe the
idea to be one that has in it the
elements of true economy.
Our people arc disposed to be
liberal towards the old veterans
but they want the money appro-
priated for their benefit to bo so
directed as to reach tho deserving
with the best possible effect. Ii

necessity for provision for thcst

If farmers would perfect pure

But the individual farmer ought not

The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1901-10-10

To the EDIToR:-
There are few facts which would
like you to impress upon the minds Of
tho public Of East Sound, through the
columns Of your valuable paper. AS you
already know. there is a lot Of i'll feeling
against the Seattle Gun Club, Of which /
am an honorary member, by certain per-
sons who imagine that they have the ex-
elusive right to all the game birds on
their" island, when as matter of fact
these birds belong to no particular person
but to the state, which provides laws for
protection of the same. The right to kill
these birds at any time, even on ones
own property, must be obtained from the
state. Any land owner has the right to
lease the exclusive shooting and hunting
privileges on his property, and by so do
ing he deprives HIMSELF of said privileges.
A land owner has the right to prevent
anyone from trespassing on his land for
the purpose Of killing game birds. and by
posting notices to that effect he reserves
he birds on his own lands for his own use.
The state provides law whereby anyone
found tresspassing on such reserves for
the purpose of killing game birds may be
prosecuted. There is also law to pro-
tect personal property, and any person
defacing or in anyway destroying notices
posted on reserves makes himself liable
to prosecution as provided by this law.
