DON'T BE A "KICKER"

The following bit of cheerful philos
Ophy is going the rounds of the press:
"Don't be Kicker If there is a
chance to boom business, boom it, don't
put on long face and look as though
you had sour stomach. When a
stranger drops in, jolly him: tell him
this is the greatest town on earth.
Don't discourage him by speaking ill
of your neighbors. Lead him to be-
iieve he has at last struck place where
white people live. Help yourself along
by becoming popular and push your
friends along with you. 1t is dead
easy. Be a good fellow and soon you
will have procession of followers. No
man ever got rich by trying to make
other people believe that he is the only
man in town or the only man who
knows anything. You are not the only
pebble on the beach. There is no end
to the fun you can have by minding
your own business; it makes other peo-
pie like you. Nobody gets stuck on a
'kicker.'D

Another farmers cooperative COM
pany is being launched in Skagit
county for the purpose of engaging in
the general merchandise business upon
a considerable scale. Possibly the field
is such that mercantile concern of
the kind is demanded, but under or.
binary conditions the farmer who di-
verts capital from the conduct of his
own operations is larger gamer in ex-
perience than in profit. There is more
money to be made in agricultural pur-
suits by practical man than in putting
cash into a business concern to be man.

himself competent to build up and
conduct business Of his own, just as
there are better and surer returns for
the dealer in keeping his capital en-
ployed in his trade than in launching
into outside speculation, but so long as
human nature is human nature a great
many farmers and great many mer-
chants will be convinced of that fact

THE NEED OF A CREAMERY

For weeks past it has only occasion.
ally been possible to obtain any really
good butter at the local stores. The
merchants have bought all the choice
butter that has been offered, but the
amount has not been sufficient to sup
ply the demands of local trade. II the
present scarcity were unusual it might
perhaps be commented upon, but 1t
would not serve the ISLANDER the
same purpose that it now does-"to
point a moral and adorn tale" And
it Is not a new tale, but the same old
story of the need of we'll equipped
and well managed creamery to eDcour.
age the development of dairying, which
should be one of the county's most
important and profitable industries.
There ought to be tens of thousands of
pounds of the choicest creamery butter
shipped from this county annually,
adding thousands of dollars to the
circulating medium" among the
farmers. But instead of that thousands
of pounds of creamery butter produced
i'm other counties of the state are
brought into this county annually and
paid for by our people.
A few weeks ago the ISLANDER
called attention to the striking SINH
larity, in area, climate, rainfall and ma
tive products, of San Juan island to the
island Of Jersey, in the English channel,
where the most famous of all breeds OF
dairy cattle originated. The English
island is somewhat smaller than San
Juan, but its population is nearly fifty
times as great, despite the fact that a
large majority of the people are tenants
and that the rental value of the lands
they occupy runs from $50 to 500 a
year. And yet they are prosperous
and contented people. Dairying is the
chief industry, coupled with the raising
of thoroughbred stock for export.
There are few advantages which the
Jersey farmers have which are not en-.
joyed in equal or greater degree by the
farmers here, who have the immense
advantage of ownership of the lands
they occupy, and also of very much
larger holdings. Within the past few
years fifty or more creameries have
been established in the state and ye1
this lovely archipelago, possessing ad
vantages which few, if any, localities
in the state enjoy in equal measure, i.
still without a single one. Are there
not enough farmers in the county in
terested in this important branch o
agricultural industry who would will
ingly furnish the capital necessary t.
establish and successfully operate {
first class San Juan creamery?

OTIS NEWS NOTES

c. A. Anderson will cultivate quite an
addition to his wonderfully rich peat
marsh field this season.
On Saturday the Arthur G.. steamed
into the bay with a scow load Of lumber,
part of which was for Schruder q Son and
part for the new wharf.
John Thompson has given up halibut
fishing for this season as the catch was
not profitable. We hear that he may go
gill-netting during the salmon run.
The Otis postoffice has been removed to
the residence of Postmaster G. Carrothers,
where, being in the most frequented part
of our district, it will be much more ac-
cessible to patrons than in its former To-
cation.
Not few residents near the outside
beach at the south end made a big haul of
floating sawlogs couple of weeks ago.
In a squall tugboat lost section or two
from the boom in tow. Most of the logs
are marked 8. L. Co.
on notwithstanding most of the stock
holders are busy with their spring farm
work. The Port Stanley people drove
their piles before ours, but if they don't
hurry up we will have our wharf in use
first. Surely they will not let their Sec
ond attempt at wharf building result in
failure.
The johnson brothers, owners Of the
Laurel hotel, Whatcom, were here re-
Gently looking up business prospects.
They think Of buying or erecting a saw
mill somewhere on the Washington coast,
Of $1,000 feet or more daily capacity.
After hasty inspection they concluded
that it would not BIZ advisable to erect
such large sawmill on any Of the San
Juan islands. From here they went to
Port Townsend to inspect the sawmill
there.
During a recent visit to Seattle and
Whatcom we met many newcomers from
the east. But few had heard of the San
Juan islands. Some had noticed them on
the map, but knew little more about
them. We were for,ibly impressed with
the ACCESSIBILITY of more advertisement of
this county. A brief folder descriptive of
our resources and the advantages of resi-
dence here might be published, and
bought by residents to send to friencs
and correspondents. 1t would be well,
too, if all would do more letter writing
with the view of increasing our popula-
ton and developing our resources. 1.-The
gods help those who help themselves"

A SOCIALISTS POINT OF VIEW

To the EDITOR
A friend of mine who is subscriber to
your bright little paper has sent me
marked copy in which occurs the follow
ing editorial languages:
"By receiving for transmission through
the mails all classes of literature that are
not obscene the government in great
many instances renders almost indie
spensable assistance in the circulation of
seditious matter and makes possible the
publication of papers which are the ex-
ponents of socialism and communism,
constantly preaching the most perniciOus
doctrines, fomenting discord, disunion
and discomfort, and openly advocating
the destruction of the very foundations OF
our government. There is such a paper
published in Seattle, called The Social
ist,' Its declared object being to organize
the slaves Of capital to vote their own
emancipation
This language has familiar sound to
old abolitionists, of whom I am one. 1t
was by such attacks that the pro-slavery
element sought to belittle the demands
for justice, but they failed as all others
must fail who misrepresent and abuse
those who are honestly struggling to
free the race from the letters of error.
You cannot fail to have observed that
Socialists seek to educate the slaves of
capital to use the ballot for their own
emancipation. Do you object to honest
attempts to educate? Are we in error in
our beliefs? If so, why not show US in
what respect we err? Our chief conten-
ton is that the worker is entitled to all
the products of his toll. Are we in error
in this? If you believe that we are wrong,
kindly point out our fault.
Jefferson said: IF there are any among
us who would wish to dissolve the Union,
or change its republican form, let them
stand undisturbed as monuments of the
safety with which error Of opinion may
be tolerated where reason is left free to
combat it,"

Depew Eloquently Supports I'll
Shippiu4 Bill.

Shipping Bill.
washington, Jan. 20. - Senator De-
pew Of New York yesterday delivered
in the senate q Enthusiastically force-
full and eloquent address in support or
the shippingt bill. The address, which
occupied just an hour, was in the ma
ture of an appeal for the upbutldine
Of the American merchant marine by
the granting Of subsidies as provided
for in the pending measure. His dis
cussion Of the problems Of t~ransporta-
ton which now. confront American
manufacturers and American farmers
was notably interesting and effective.
The peroration, in which he urged that
the American flag be restored to the
mastheads of the freight-carrying
ships Of the United States, was q bril-.
liant piece Of oratory and ELECTED cor
dial applause from senator's on the
floor and the crowds in the galleries.
Little progress was made with the In
dian appropriation bill. The last hour
Of the senate was consumed in the
passage of private pension bills.
In the House.
The house yesterday adopted the con-
ference report upon the army reor-
ganizat10n Dill. Inc cOnteSC over IL
was brief, Mr.. Hull, chairman OF
military affairs committee, preventing
prolonged debate. The debate was
chiefly notable for a short exchange
between Mr.. Richardson, the minority
leader, and Mr.. Hay (Dem., Va.). a
member Of the conference committee,
who ~reproached the Democratic leader
for not making a fight for a temporary
army when the bill was originally be-
fore the house. The naval a%ppropria-
ton bill was finally passed; also sew
enty-seven pension bills.
