The new county road to the wharf is
being rapidly fenced and will soon be
thrown open to the public.
For the last few days our bay has
been enlivened by the presence of
numbers of noble red men and women
Oh the hunt for the festive clam.
For several days boats were out
around the shores of this and nearby
bays picking up and towing in fish
piles for caps and stringers OH our new
wharf.
The foreman of out-work for the
Fairl,aven Packing company has been
here. He says that the company's
head camp will be here at south Lopez,
where over twenty men will be EN-
ployed.
Daily the sound of the hammer and
saw are heard OIL the steamers being
built by Schruder & Son. For the last
few days, however, Louie Schruder has
been confined to his home by an at
tack of la grippe.
In last Seek's issue of the ISLANDER

"For the purpose of REGULATES 6 the

ing to their population, AS will be as
certained by the federal census OF
eighteen hundred and ninety, and
thereafter every two years by the

thousand for counties of the first class
down to one thousand or less for the
counties of the Goth, or lowest, class.
If this is the law and all the law

Acknowledgement Says 1t IL Not Governed
by Recent Census
A special dispatch to the Post-Intel-
Iigencer from Olympia says that al
though the classification of many coun-
ties of the state of Washington was
raised by the federal census
of 1900. there is no law, in the opinion
of Acknowledgement w. B. Stratton,
that authorizes the basing of new
classification on this census report, and
therefore the resulting raise in the sal
aries of county officers will not go into
effect. Attorney-Genera Srratton has
prepared an opinion covering the mat
ter in response to a request from J. E.
I'D. Bailey, prosecuting attorney of
Stevens county, which county, If the
new census were taken as basis for
Reconsideration, would be raised to the
fifteenth class. A peculiar condition
exists regarding this matter, and Mr..
Stratton has expressed verbal opinion
flat the present session Of the legisla-
ture should correct the matter, SO that
the classification of counties may be
based on the the recent federal census.
