ORCAS ISLAND TRADE

There seems to be considerable feel
over the action of the Whatcom COM
mercial CLUB III granting "a subsidy of
IS per trip to the launch Hermosa for IA
period of twenty weeks for making one
round trip week between West
Sound, Orcas and Whatcom. They
look upon ii as an unfair effort on the
part of Whatcom to capture trade that
from the point of view of the local
merchants belongs to them. They feel
that the Whatcom merchants should
be satisfied with the large measure of
trade which naturally goes to them in
lines which local merchants cannot af-
ford TO carry-at least not extensively
without Offering special inducements
to wrest from them their trade in
staples which they have right to ex-
pect from their home people. And
they say that if Whatcom tradesmen
intend to pursue this kind of policy
they need not expect island u'erchants
to patronize Whatcom jobbers in any
line.
On the other hand there are many
people residing on Orcas who trade
more or less at Whatcom and who say
that they do Sc simply because their
home merchants are either unable or
unwilling to offer them as good induce.
ments as they can obtain elsewhere
They do not advertise and if they will
stop to think of the matter a moment
they should not be surprised if con-
siderable number of people who might
be their patrons if different policy
were pursued are attracted by the eff
forts which are being constantly put
forth by Whatcom merchants to in
crease their trade.
The farmer is producer. He is en-
gagged in constant struggle with the
forces of nature and labors con tinually
TO add to the store of the worlds
wealth. Every dollar that he gets he
earns and naturally enough he feels
that it is his to do with as he pleases.
His occupation encourages independ-
ence of thought aud action. He does
not care to be cajoled and he strenuous
~ objects to being bulldozed, but he is
generally amenabe to reason. These
observations are made merely with the
idea OF pointing a little moral to adorn
this little tale and the moral ia that If
merchant finds that me is losing a
farmers trade it is well to make careful
inquiry INTO the cause lest he fail to fix
the blame quite near enough at home.

THE ENGINEERS BAND.
Army Organization Located at Wash
ington Barracks In This City.

The United States Engineer Band, which
has been stationed at the Washington bar
racks, foot of Az street southwest, since
October last. is new musical organiza-
tion to Washingtonians, but not to the
army. 1t has made its appearance in pa
rades in Washington several times since 1t
was located here, the first being the annual
parade of the members of the police and
fire departments December last Each
time it has done parade duty it has elected
applause from onlookers.
During May last a series of public con-
oerts was inaugurated at the barracks and
they have continued throughout the sum
mer. The concerts are held on the parade
grounds Monday, Wednesday and Friday
evenings at o'clock and Sunday after
moons at o'clock.
each concert is well attended and every
number on the program Is heartily applaud
ed by the listeners.
Previous to coming here in October the
band was stationed for years at Fort Tot
ten, Willet's Point, N. Y, from which
point it came to Washington
Julius Hamper, the bandmaster, has been
in charge Of the organization since 1855
and has done much to bring the band to
its present high state Of excellence. In
this he has been assisted by Charles Haas,
the principal musician, who has been with
the band since 1887.
The band is made up of twenty eight mu-
sicians and they assemble In large hall
at the barracks each morning In the week,
where they practice for one hour. They
are permitted, when It does not conflict
with their duties, to accept outside engage
ments.

Thomas, was escorted to the station house,
where he was lodged behind the bars and
Adams started out to make an investigation
of the hen coops in the neighborhood.
About daybreak he found the rear gate
of Mr.. George R. Pohls woodshed, IN the
rear of 20O9 18th street, standing open, and
he went in and looked around. Here the
search ended. for on the ground under a
roost he saw four chicken heads. Mr.. Pohl

COL. BIDDLE's SUGGESTION.
Rearrangement of Electric Lights on
Aqueduct Bridge.

Col. John Biddle, the Engineer Commits
sioner, has made the following comment
and recommendation on the report OF the
electrical engineer in regard to a rearrange-
ment Of the electric light wires on the
Aqueduct bridge:
From this report II is 'evident that the
wires for furnishing power across the Aque-
duct bridge are. far as this department.
is concerned. owned ana controlled by that
company, and it is by them that action
must be taken. The general arrangement
of the wires on the bridge is unsatisfactory
and unsafe necessitating for their repair
that the flooring OF the bridge should be
taken up and thereby weakened and also
being a source of danger, both to the bridge
and the workmen painting and repairing it.
Unless the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany has some other proposition to make
which would be satisfactory to the Commits
sioners / recommend that It be required to
carry out the order of the Commissioners
of August 13, directing changes in the ca
bes."

STACK BEING REDUCED.
Thirty Feet Removed From Top of Old
Power House Chimney.

Over thirty feet of the brick chimney on
the site Of the new municipal building
have already been removed by hand. and
the remaining thirty feet to be torn down
In that manner will probably be removed
by Wednesday afternoon. The rest OF the
smokestack VIII then be thrown to the
ground by means of dynamite charges
placed In holes drilled near the base OF
the stack. Mr.. Harry q. Brown, who has
charge Of razing the chimney. says he ex-
poets to complete his part of the work
Thursday afternoon, when about eighty
feet of the brickwork will be tumbled over
by dynamite
The work Of removing the bricks by hand
Is necessarily slow, because only two men
can work at a time at the top of the stack
and the displaced bricks have to be lowered
to the ground in tubs. The last thirty feet
OF the w"9 will require more time, as the
wall nearer the bottom is several inches
thicker than 1t was near the top.
Considerable difficulty was experienced
at the beginning of the work in getting
laborers who were willing to work at such
an altitude, but two men were secured who
were not Sfraid to run the risks connected
with the job. The position occupied by
the man who works at the bottom OF the
shaft, emptying the tubs as they are lower
ed to him, is also one of danger as a care
lessly misplaced brick might do consider
able damage in falling should 1t strike some
one on the ground.
