sought an injun ctlon to restrain the
Inspector and his deputies from ell
forcing Governor Hunts quarantine

a limited restraining order, under
which sheep might be brought in
conditional upon their condition as
to disease. The demurrer inter
posed by the defendants went to the,
merits of the case, and the decision
in their favor dlsposes of it.
In his decision Judge Beatty sets
forth that the right of citizens of

is admitted, and it Is also admitted
that the state IN the exercise of it's.
police power may establish quaran-

claimed that under the guise of

There have been several changes
made the last year in which the black

ment of manufacture. The mill is
run only through the rainy season
which is but four or five months Of
the year; the most OF the time mem
bers of the manufacturing depart
ment are employed in the agricultural
department clearing land, and cult
waiting and gathering the crops.
The donkey engine belongs to the
department and is the main factor in
clearing land. This department does
the pumping of the water for our
diminutive water works which occu-
pies the night watchman's time dur
ing the year.
The expense of the last year is
$1914.6O, which includes the pur-
chase of hardware for the blacksmith
shop, and the remodeling of the DON
key engine and purchase of 1900 feet
of wire cable for the same; also the
purchase of 10 horse power engine

shape for the next years work than

Horticulture

The horticultural department
planted 112 acres of rutabagas from
which we raised 40 tons which we are
selling for $50 per ton; 10 acres of
potatoes from which we raised 70
tons, at $50 per ton. We also raised
% tons OF sugar beets from 1 "a acres;
13 tons of cabbage from 1 acre, at 2
cents per pound; so tons of carrots
from 212 acres, at So per ton; 20
tons OF parsnips from 1 acre at $40
per ton; 200 bushels of onions from
"a acres, at $1.25 per 100 pounds; 20
tons round turnips from l acre, at
$40 per ton; tons of squashes;
acre of green corn; 40 bushels of dry
beans; 1000 gallons of Strawberries
from acres, from which we realized
SOL in cash besides supplying the
colony.
OF course there are some things that
have not been mentioned because they
were planted around in different
patches and not estimated. We have
already sold over $500 worth of
vegetables and think we will have no
trouble in selling our potatoes at $50
per ton and rutabagoes for 500 per

Manufactures

The supenntendents of the respec-

a little bit different from the superin-

they receive the same remuneration
for services rendered and as a general

more time than any man in the de-
partment. Their books are kept aud

Fisheries

The fishing department was organ
lied early in 1898 with a Mr.. Johnson
as superintendent but nothing much
was done until March, when Gus
Lewis was elected superintendent, a
herring seine purchased and a crew
organized.
Barrels of herring were caught at
PIT. Frances, in Hales pass, besides
other kinds of fish that straved into
a school of herring.
In July, a gill net for salmon fishing
wa, purchased and Tom Palbitska
and Others tried their luck at Birch
Bay near the international boundary
line, and a large number of salmon
were brought from there in the sloop,
Progress, sailed by Comrade Gunni-
son and others. Some fish were
smoked, some sailed, and some were
sold to canneries. The herring and
salmon are the principal food fish
caught here.
Old fishermen claim that the
salmon will become extinct like the
buffalo unless protected by the gov
eminent, as the fish traps belonging
to syndicates number over 1000 on
the Sound alone and each one catches
from 5000 to 10000 per night, ac-
cording to the run of fish; and the
amount turned out by hatcheries is
small, compared to the catch.
In August of this year the Prog
ress was sold, as the new railroad
running through our land DESTROYED
the landing on the slough that we
have used. The Progress has been
a great help to the colony Tor fishing
and treighting and will probably be
succeeded by gasoline or steamboat
in the future.

Cuisine and Agriculture

The superintendent of the cuisine
and agricultural departments have
been kept so busy OF late that they
were unable to prepare reports so
the editor takes it upon himself to do
SO in a general way.
The separation OF the gardening and
fruit growing from the agricultural
department left it with very little to
do i'll our present stage of develop
ment. The past year this department
had about five acres of land in oats
which were cut for hay and besides
this superintendent the cutting and
sheltering of 100 sons of hay for a
neighbor for which the colony received
one half or 60 tons. This depart
ment also purchased lot of fine new
farm machinery and has had about
II acres of land plowed this fall.

intendent.

The above account with manufac-
turing department includes only cash
sales-lumber and manufactured arti-
cles used by the different departments
not entering into this account.
The horticultural department has a
fine crop of roots and garden veget-
ables which has not yet been turned
over to this department. We think
that, by conservative estimate, we
can dispose of $4,000 worth of the
products later in the season and still
retain enough for our own use.
The financial success of our venture
is now assured; but it remains to be
seen whether or not the dream of it's
founders will be realized from a social
point of view There has been but
little time taken for rest or recreation
by most of our members, which makes
Equality a dull place for the festive
mind.
While a large per cent of our labor
during the past year has been non
productive, being directed to per-
manent improvements and clearing
of land, we have contracted no new
Indebtedness and have considerably re-
duced our machienery debt. These
facts cause us to look forward with
hope to a bright future when we will
have comfortable homes, with con-
slant and remunerative employment.

This department has charge of all
horses, harness, wagons and the part
of barn where horses are stabbed.
There are II head OF work horses and
one three year old filly, five and a
half sets of harness, one spring wagon,
used for carrying mail from Belfast,
two good lumber wagons and three
make-sh1fts.
This department does all the freigh-
ting OF goods shipped to the colony,
most of which come from Seattle to
Belfast, distant about miles by
wagon road, and Edison, distant
times from Whatcom, distance of
about IA miles over a very billy
road, but don't make this trip except
when in a rush for something
1t is also the work of the depart
ment to freight the colony products
to the various points of delivery.
The most of our vegetables that were
sold before this summer were hauled
to Whatcom, but all that have been
sold this summer were hauled to the
different railroad camps along the
INV lillS. WHICH, Liz uOuhSy SllSlIS
is running, one and sometimes two
horses are used to haul out the line
and in the fall when the vegetables
are gathered two and three teams
are kept busy hauling the vegetables
from the field to the root house. The
mill cuts most of the wood that is
used in the colony, and this depart
ment hauls it to the different depart
ments and individuals.
This department furnishes teams to
the agricultural department for plow-
ing and putting in crops, breaking
and drawing stumps and rubbish off
the land.
One OF the drawbacks to the depart
ment is inability 20 get teamsters for
the teams, as there are but very few
men here who are transfers.
The department charges the differ
ent departments, and individuals
enough to cover all expenses. In the
summer, when we work 10 hours
per day a charge of Is cents per hour
is made for man and team and in
winter we work hours per day and
a charge OF Is cents per hour is made.
These charges are sufficient to cover
all cost to the department if the teams
were kept steadily at work, but two
and three teams are idle most of the
year causing the department to be
behind. c. Nj. SMITH, Supt.

Exchange


Owing to lack Of time, the exchange
department is unable to make COM
prehensive report. Since the first of
November 1900, our system of dis
tribution has been changed. Prior
to that time the distribution of all
kitchen supplies was made through the
cuisine department, each adult paying
two dollars per week for the privilege
of getting their necessary supplies.
Our present system of distribution
through the exchange department
while it has proven more satisfactory
to the members, has increased the
volume OF business transacted through
the department.

Baking

The bakery was part of the cuisine
department until recently, when it
was separated from that department
for the more convenient transaction
of business.
We have a good oven with a capac-
ity of 200 loaves of bread per baking
but we are only baking about so
loaves per day now In addition to
this we bake cakes, cookies, ETC., in
large quantities for colony consump-
ton and outside trade. Recently
our trade in bread has fallen off, ow
ing to the removal of some of the rail-
road camps, and reduced the output
from 100 loaves.
The facilities for baking are average
and conditions are naturally much
better than on the outside, where
many bakers spend IA to 16 hours per
day under ground, while our baking
is light and above ground in build
ing by itself. w. c. DAVIS, Supt.
