A Victim of the Sea

The dead body of Frank Dement,, of
Blaine, was found by II. Pearmain last
Friday on the beach near Deer Harbor,
under an overturned skiff, the bow line
of which the unfortunate young man
had tied securely around his waist,
evidently realizing that, his end was
near and hoping that this precaudon
might result in the recovery of his
body, which it did. He had left Blaine
about three weeks ago in a sloop for
the fishing grounds off Birch point, in
tending to return the following Sun
day. The sloop was found few days
later by Joe Manuel, floating, capsized,
near Stuart island. After the over
turning of his sloop Dement, had evil
dently undertaken to reach shore in
the skiff which he had In tow as a
tender. ASIDE from his clothing the
only articles found upon his person
were a tlme-book of the Pacific North
west Packing Company, i'm whose en-
ploy he. had been, bill for groceries
made out in the. name of his father, q

Shipping Infested Trees

According to the state commissioner
of horticulture there has been received
in this state large consignment of
apple trees, all deceased. The ship
ment came from New York. 1t had
passed there, or been supposed to have
passed, official inspection. Perhaps
the inspector was blind. At any rate,
the trees, had they been set out, would
have dope the fruit interests of the
state damage beyond estimate, aside
from the direct loss involved in paying
for worse than worthless stock. 1t
would seem as though there might |
devised some way to prevent such out.
RACES.
The shipping of dangerous trees mnst
have been deliberate. 1t is not possible
that any nurseryman accustomed to
the handling of trees could have pro-
duced thousands upon thousands OF
them, each one fit only to be destroyed,
and not know what he was doing when
he sold them for delivery in distant
country. The trees will be burned, but
this penalty seems too small. lfa man
were deliberately to sow tares in the
wheat-feld of his neighhor he would
be guilty of malicious mischief, but he
would not be guilty of an act SO gross
as that of selling trees capable of bring
ing forth no fruit, but of poisoning ma
tive stock. 1t is a fortunate thing that
Washington has system of inspection

SOCKEYE HATCHERY
THE DOMINION GOVERNMENT WILL
BE APPEALED TO
international Understanding of Fisheries
Border Line Sought-State Legisia-
ture win be Asked for More Help
TO Protect the Fisheries.

In recent interview at Tacoma
State Fish Commissioner Kershaw is
quoted by the Evening News, of that
city, MS saying:
"a Fraser river hatchery for sockeye
salmon is very important To the people
of Puget Sound. Former Commits
souer Little recognized this and took
mp the matter with the provincial gov
ernment and tried to come to some
agreement This failed, aud now |
propose to change tactics. We will APP
peal to the dominion government
through our state department for an
International understanding of the
fisheries on the border line. The sub
ject is important from the fact that we
caught over 30,000,000 sockeye last
year. They spawn in Canadian waters.
"The only Legislation ! shall ask of
our state officials this winter will be
for more help TO protect the fisheries.
The industry has become one of the
four greatest in the state and requires
more protection. IT is wrong for one
to pay a license and another to fish
without license. TO prevent this ]
must have more men to assist in guard
ing the fisheries. The Columbia river
district has been well cared for and il
in fine condition. All we need to make
the fisheries one of the best paying in
dustries Of the state for many years to
come, is suitable hatcheries and proper
protection of the young fish.
"The oyster business will, in my opin-
ion, soon become more important than
the fisheries. Transplanting eastern
oysters Is no longer an experiment.
Men have demonstrated that choice
oysters. may be grown at different
places in the state. Our native oysters
will always be in demand and there is
no end to the supply. But the eastern
transpanted ones are coming to the
front everywhere. People who never
investigated the subject do not know
the importance of this fishery question.
1t is one of the four great industries of
Washington and ranks with coal, lum-
ber and wheat as money producers.

who recently had large shipment of

CLAPP AND LEWIS
THEIR VOTE IN CLALLAM, JEFFER-
SON AND SAN JUAN COUNTIES
Comparisons With the Vote Cast for
Cushman and CotterilI-The Three
Counties Shown to BE Overwhelm-
ingly Republican,.

DIR. Lewis, of Port Angeles, recent
Democratic candidate for joint senator
for the 24th senatorial district, sends
the ISLANDER a brief statement show
ing that he ran considerably ahead of
his ticket in Clallam and Jefferson
nearly complete returns cast for
Cushman and Cotterill, Clapp and
Lewis in the two counties. In Claliam
Cushman received 7l2 votes and Cot
terill 364, making Cushman's majority
there 34S. Clapp received 625 and
Lewis 479, leaving "A majority of l46 for
Clapp, or 202 less than that received by
Cushman. In jefferson county Cush-
mans vote was go, Cotterill's 800,
Clapp's 500, Lewis 4l6. Cushman's
majority 329, Clapp's ia. In the two
| counties Cushman's majority was 677
and Clapp's 32O, as shown by these un-
official figures.
Although it appears that Mr.. Clapp
ran 357 votes behind Mr.. Cushnan it
| does not follow that all of these votes
went to DR.. Lewis. The difference be-
tween the total vote cast for the Doctor
| i'm the two counties and that cast for
Mr.. Cotterill, Democratic candidate for
congress, is 1S1. The Doctor is quite
right, however, in saying that he has
| ''nothing to be ashamed of i'll SO far as
my run is'concerned." His home town
and the first two precincts each side OF
1T gave him so majority, while Mr..
Cushman's majority in the same pre-
cincts was 65.
Mr.. Clapp, on the other hand, can
very we'll say with DR.. Lewis that he
"has nothing to be ashamed of in SO
| far as his run is concerned. Notwith-
standing the strong feeling in Clallam
county that that county was entitled
to the senator this year by reason of an
alleged agreement entered into four
years ago, and the further dIssatisfac-
ton there growing out of the fact tina.

entire tree but the sum was indignant
