AN ISLAND EMPIRE
SAN JUAN COUNTY CALLED "rHE
LAND OF MILK AND HONEY"
The Post-Intslligencer Says Some Nice
Things About the County With Es-
pecial Reference to the Developments
of the Past CwO Years.

The Post-Intelli@ncer of last Friday
devotes nearly three columns of space
to an interesting "write-up" of San
Juan county, considered especially
with reference to the settlement and
developments of the past two years.
While it contains little that is new to
the ISLANDERS readers, it is Of in
terest as showing in a pleasant way
how others see us. We quote the fol-
lowing:
San Juan county, little island en-
pire, surrounded by winding channels
and broad gulfs--arms of the sea, them
selves teeming with the oceans wealth
has been "the land of milk and
honey" for more than two hundred
wanderers who left the east and mid
lie west during the past two years and
found homes within its borders. Cut
off from the mainland by waters which
change from deep blue to emerald
green as they dance in the sunlight
and again dissolve in snow white
clouds on jagged reefs and Scared
broWn cliffs, these islands are not in
direct communication with inland
points. Yet for all that the rich grasses
which carpet their smooth hillsides
and the fat valley lands between these
rounded slopes have caught the hearts
Of many of the army of immigrants
now invading this state. Homeseekers
haye sought them out. Capital has
done likewise.
These islands are historic spot In
he days when the first large wave of
immigration came to the Pacific north
west they were occupied by the soldiers
of the worlds two greatest nations,
camped few miles apart and watch
ing the land and one another in armed
neutrality. During the last days of
the famous boundary dispute, in which
the line between the state of Washing
ton and British Columbia was at issue,
his archipelago was claimed by Eng
land and by America. On San Juan
island the two old block houses, built
oy the forces of these nations, still
stand, one at its either extremity. The
American soldiers camped about one of
these; the British near the otEer. From
the time when Capt. Pickett, afterward
famous as general in the civil war for
his great charge at Gettysburg, landed
his handful of men on Its shores while
ten times the same number of soldiers
Of the opposing force, backed by small
iOrce Of gunboats, was held near by by
the British, to the time when Emperor
William of Germany gave his decision
on this question, war seemed imminent
at any moment. 1t is a noteworthy
fact that the attitude of the American
government on this question was large
ly the result of insistence on the part of
the hardy pioneers, who at that time
held the land in opposition to the
Hudson Bay Company. The forerun-
ners of those who are now coming to
Guild up the islands are thus in large
measure responsible for their being on
American soil.

1t is pleasant to know that the evil
dence is against incendiarism as the
cause of the Chinatown fire of last
Monday morning. The result of the
INQUEST shows that cat knocked over
a lighted lamp and away the buildings
went 1t is rather a surprise that the
combination of wooden tenements and
kerosene lamps did not long ago scare
off the insurance companies.

The long grand jury sessions in which
weeks were spent in investigating pub
lie offices in the hope of finding some
thing to embarrass the Governor, did
their part in causing the present dell
cit. Nothing but mares nests We're
discovered, but the inquiries cost lot
of money which would be useful In
keeping the courts at work now.

The public would not like to see
Thomas square dismantled for any pur-
pose, least of all for making bare
field for sports. That the park does
not look well now is admitted, but its
trees and shrubs will one day be cared
for and in the meantime they are not
doing any harm. There is already a
fine baseball tract near by and NC
KfnIey park will be done some day.

The famous name of Oliver Wendell
Holmes will appear in the roll OF Su-
prenne Court Justices. Justice Holmes
who now presides over the Supreme
Court of Massachusetts, first came into
the public eye in narrative OF ms
famous fathers search for him among
the wounded on a Southern battlefield
He was then a captain of volunteers on
the northern side. Justice Holmes Is
one of the soundest lawyers and jurists
on the New England bench and is
worthy of the traditions of our highest
court.

NEW FOUNTAIN.
The WeIdon-Symons Drug Company
Add an Improvement

The Weldon Symons Drug Com
pany have just received a handsome
new soda fountain and the same has
been put in place in.their drug store
north2of the court house. The foun-
tain is of the twentieth Century
Sanitary" make and is certainly a
beauty and unlike any other fountain
to be seen in the city. 1t has been
placed on the east side of the store
room, we'll to the front, allowing
just space for ia cosy corner seat
next the window. The stere room Is
to be paperea and brushed up in
general and particular and will be
made to shine like new dollar. The
improvement costs money but it pays
to keep in the line with the march of
Greater Oskaloosa.

MINERS MAY STRIKE
Conference Committees Unable to
Get Together.

Des Moines, March 22.-At the close
of yesterdays conference between
the miners and operators of lows, the
operators departed for their respect
i've homes, necessitating an adjourn
ment to the Joint conference until
Monday. While minor details are be-
ing rapidly adjusted, both sides ap-
parently recognize that each discus
sion on the shot firing question oper-
ates to separate them more widely
than ever and each side has begun to
estimate the effect of the prospective
strike.
In case OLA strike work will prob
ably be suspended not only in the Sec
ond and third districts, where powder
is used but also in the first and fourth.
This would tie up practically all of
the mines in the state. The operators
in the second district say, however,
they have few orders for the summer
and would suffer less than the miners
in event of strike. Putnam county,
Missouri, has been dropped from dis
trict Is and will hereafter affiliate
with district 25, which includes other
mines in Missouri

causing it to break, which caused the
fan operated by the blower band to
stop, almost suffocating the seamen in
the hold, who had to come up on deck.
After the accident the blower band
was brought up into the turret tower
to be repaired, which took until Z a.
m. on the morning of the 7th. After
everything was in running order we
once more proceeded on our journey.
After proceeding smoothly for some
time, the rope between the tug and
the Monitor parted, leaving us help
lessly adrift on the high seas. and
after about three hours of hard work
We succeeded in getting the rope
spliced. All water on board was COM
pletely ruined by being submerged in
sea water. After losing our water we
went in and stripped for action, with
the prospect of not having any water
soon, and We did not get any until
the battle was over. The Monitor on
this occasion carried two guns, using
balls that weighed los pounds. which

of her guns she used fifteen pounds OF
powder to the charge.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
local disease, and prescribed local rem
needles, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
