IN THE HOUSE

The House received notification of
the signature of the Dole fee bill.
The judges of the Circuit Court SUBJ
mitted the following memorial to the
House:
1--WE respectfully submit that the
judges OF the Circuit Courts and all Of
ficials OF such courts, to-wit, the clerks,
interpreters, stenographers and bail
IFS. are Territorial officials and are not
County officials They certainly are
not part OF the machinery of the coun-
ty government, and without such off,
cials the courts are not complete. The
salaries OF all such officials (except the
Judges, whose salaries are provided
for by Congress) should be a territorial
charge and paid out of the Territorial
Treasury. However, should your Hon
orable Body not take that view Of the
source from which the salaries should
be paid, and consider that the sal~ries
should be paid out OF the county treas
uries, which we submit would be
wrong. still in that event we REQUEST
that the salaries 10 be received by such
officials from whatever source be fixed
by the Legislature, which is the ter
ritorial law making body, and the body
which should fix the compensation to
be received by all territorial officials
We believe that If the salaries are not
fixed by your Honorable Body, the door
will thus be left open to the wrongful
exercise of power and favoritism. and
the pure administration Of justice men,
aced.
We have the honor to be,
Your obedient servants,

SCHOOL IN COMMUNITY.
]. c. Davis of Hanalei, Kauai, spoke
of the school as a factor in Com

the upbuilding of an intelligent citi-

than any other state or territory should
have its schools and community in
closer communion.
The school which is not in close touch |
with the community is not in a posi-

Some Things a Gardener Learned by Ex-
perience-Not All Kinds Good
In an article in the New York Trib-
une- Farmer, telling his experience
with fish as fertilizer, J. j. H. Gregory,
of Marblehead, Mass, says:
"I once purchased for manure pur-
poses an entire cargo, nine hundred
barrels, of spoiled herrings, under the
impression that with the oil in them |
was getting more for my money than
the same amount invested i'm porgy
chum would return to me, as this has
no oil in it. That impression was an
error, for fat is carbon, and carbon not
only has no manure element in it, but,
as fat checks decomposition, it there
fore, instead of adding to, really de-
tracts from the value of the fish. While
lecturing many years ago l learned in
the discussion that followed that q
combination OF dry ground fish and
potash was a great favorite as ma
nure for potatoes among the farmers of
Bristol and vicinity, who are famous
growers of that vegetable.
"It will be we'll to bear in mind that
dry ground fish has usually large
percentage of.salt in its composition, it
having been used as preservative of
the various fish of which the material
which makes up the ground fish is the
waste. For this reason 1t is especially

TO ORGANIZE A
STOCK COMPANY
TO BUILD AND OPERATE A TELE-
PHoN.f SYSTEM TO wHATCOM
Proposition is Supported by the whatcom
Commercial Club-Capron g. Douglas
Have Consented to Absorption of Their
System Basis of Fair Appraise-
ment

David E. Lain, chairman of the spe-
cial telephone committee of the What
com Commercial Club, was over from
Whatcom the first of the week to con
cable prof ect. AS result of this con-
ference it is now proposed to organize
joint stock company, fixing the value
Of the shares at $50 each and inviting
all who desire to do so to become share
holders. The ISLANDER is authorized
to state that "the object of the proposed
company is to absorb the present sys-
tenn, connect the islands and lay cable
to Whatcom.n This plan affords an
opportunity TO every one to secure
stock and have voice in the man
agement of.the company's business in
proportion to the amount of stock held.
1t differs from the mutual proposition
advocated by Mr.. Newhall and others
only in not limiting the shareholders
to one share of stock each, or one share
for each instrument used. This plan
of organization is strongly advised by
the gentlemen representing the What
com Commercial Club and by the spe-
cia' representative of the Sunset Tele-
phone Company who was sent here re-
Gently to investigate the situation. The
ISLANDER understands that Messrs.
Capron q Douglas have agreed to sell
their local system to the new company
at a fair valuation, to be fixed by COM
petent appraisement, and it Is probable
that they will accept stock in the new
company in payment for considerable
portion of the purchase price of their
holdings. 1t is but just that their in
terests should be protected. DIR. Cap
ron was the pioneer in telephone con-
structlon in this county and he is en-
titled to much credit for his enterprise
in extending the system and III edu.
eating the people to appreciate the val
ne of such means of communication.
The service will be of immeasurabiy
greater value when the several now
separated links are united and connec"
ton is afforded with the Sunset sys-
tem, reaching to all important points
on the Pacific coast. It will require
quite large sum of money to complete
the system as proposed, and the cordial
cooperation of the business men, farm
ers and other property owners of the
county, as well as of the public officials.
as such, will be needed to insure the
| success of the enterprise. But it |
we'll worth "a long pull, a strong pull,
and pull altogether"

Dom esticated Phsasants

A writer in Country Life in Ameri-
can says that in few years pheasants
will be bred by nearly everybody who
keeps fancy poultry for pleasures sake.
1.-THE study of wild bird life, especially
among such beautiful birds, is rarely
equalled in anything else, besides FORM
Ing peculiar beauty to your home.
Varieties that are very expensive now
will, in short period Of years, either
become extinct or more plentiful.
Pheasants, IL given the same care that
well bred poultry receives, will do we'll
in any state in the Union. They suffer
with the same diseases that effect poul-
try. If kept on damp, wet ground
you find them aiiing from rheumatism
and cape worm.n

Mr.. Harpst Goes to Whateom

Rev. and Mrs. Henry Harpst re-
turned Tuesday from the M. e. confer
ence at Tacoma. Mr.. Harpst was asked
by the presiding elder of this district to
take charge of the important work of
organizing the Third church of What
com, from what is now known as the
City mission, and he will probably do
so. His ability, great energy and earn
estness and his long and varied expert
ence admirably fit him for such work.
His successor here is Rev. ]. III. Kevan,
for the past two years pastor of the M.
E. church at Coupeville. Rev. Thos.
Gambill returns to Lopez and Rev. r..
II. Massey to East Sound. Rev. Carl

Action to Set Aside Decd

An action has been instituted in the
superior court to set aside q treasurer
deed to real estate. on Waldron island,
sold for taxes to e. f. Allen. The
plaintiffs, e. q. Sanders and wife,
through their attorneys, Hastings d
Steadman, deny the jurisdiction of the
court over the property and allege that
they had no notice of the action brought
against them in the foreclosure OF the
tax lien until judgment by default had
been affirmed by the court. They
claim that summons by publication
was insufficient, as they were at the
time and are now "well known resi-
dents of Seattle" where personal SER
vice of summons might have been had

The Columbia river Chinook pack
sold this season at $l.35, $1.45 and So
cents per dozen. The foregoing figures
are regarded by salmon dealers as re-
markable, because heretofore sockeye
salmon have sold from 25 to 35 cents
per dozen less than the salmon of the
Columbia.
The prices named on other kinds of
salmon canned by the company, were:
Per Dozen
Red Alaska m 49, -. -. -. -. -. 81 30
Puget sound cohoes (silver) 49, w / 90
Medium red Alaska 80 49, -. 80 :. 95
The corresponding quotations for last
year were 95, IS and SO cents per dozen.
Early in the season-in fact, before
singls sockeye had been taken, brokers
and packers contracted to sell sockeyes
at from $l.05 to $1l0 per dozen, and
the result has been loss to these specu-
lators in futures of great deal of mon
ey.
1t is reported that the. Alaska Pack
ers' association has finally fixed the
price of Alaska red salmon at $l.30 per
dozen cans, an advance of 35 cents, or
between 35 and 40 per cent over the quo
tations of last year This means that
the A. P. A. expects to get $l.4O more
per case for its pack of the present sea-
son than it received year ago. Since
it is claimed that the pack is approx
mately the same the profit on 100000
cases will be enormous. On medium
or cohoes, the A. p. A. quotation is S74
cents, and on pnks or humpbacks, soc.
The announcement Is made that the
Alaska Packers association will oper-
ate only its cannery at Point Roberts
next season, closing down the plants at
Anacortes and at Blaine until 1905.
This action will be taken, it is said, be-
cause of the failure of the sockeye run
this year, and the almost positive
certainty of light supply next sum-

tendent Charles Mathews of the A. p.
