A COMPLIMENT PERVERTED

Quoting the IsLANDER's editorial
last week on the suLiect of San Juan
county trade with the bay cities the
Fairhaven and Whatcom Herald de-
liberatsly perverted sentence compli-
mcntary to the papers OF the two towns
In such manner as TO make it appear
TO its readers that only one paper was
referred to and that one the Herald.
The ISLANDER referred in commend
atory. way TO "the great work which
the city's excellent newspapers are do
Ing every day in the interest of the
public" The Herald changed this
to read "the great work which the
city's excellent newspaper is doing"
etc. 1t was petty trick, unworthy of
any reputable journal. The editor re-
grets that its really esteemed contem-
porary has given occasion for censure
IN this manner. Ii the code of ethics
OF the new management has undergone
such revision as to justify-to itself
such petty perversion, the fact is to
De regretted, for the united city on the
Dig bay needs journals Of the highest
moral standard to aid the great work
OF urban development now 40 well un.
a"r way there. The ISLANDER resents

TELLING TREES AGES.
only Accurate Way Is Said to Be ~
Girth disbursement.

Girth Measurement.
1.-THE only accurate way to estimate
a trees age is by the measurement OF
its girth," said botanist THE count
Ing of the rings of oXogenous trees can
only be applied to such as are cut
down in their prime, for these trees,
when they begin to Gle, cease to add
their yearly rings. Girth measurement
is the only safe guide to the age Of
trees
Hence all over the world botanists
have now for some years been meas
uring trees of known and unknown
GG@. compiling thus a volume of sta,
tistics that will become more and more
valuable as it increases in size
"The yew is the longest lived OF
trees. Three feet a century, our statis-
tics show, is it's normal growth. Ac-
cording to this rule, the Portugal yew
of Scotland, which was fifty-siX feet in
giIth in 1863. MIST have lived over
1890 years The Tisbury yew, in Dor
sctsEire, is thirty-seven feet in grth
and should be, therefore, 1900 years
Old
There is table of the age Of oaks
that differs from this. 1t is not very
satisfactory table, but it was compiled
from trees of known age, and there
fore it is statisticaliy very valuable.
According to it, 40-year-old oak had
a circumference of feet; SO years,
II feet; 100 years, IS feet; 200 years,
20 feet; go years, p feet 800 years,
33 feet" -Philadelphia Record.

THE NJ. y. CONFERENCE

The Annual Conference of the
Methodist Protestant Church of the
State, has been in session at Park
ersburg the past week. Among the
appointments made were: Rev. J..
A. Ketrell goes from Reedsville to
Catawba, and Rev. ID. c. Jones
goes TO Reedsville, Rev. SIP. Haw-
ley to South Morgantowp; Rev. w.
II. Hart to Newburg, and Rev. l..
r. Parell to Etam. Rev. George
X. Brown of Harrisville, was elect
ed President of the Conference.
The principal matter pertains to
the proposed combining of the
forces of the Methodist Protestant,
United Brethren and Congregation
al churches into one denomination
to be known as the United Christian
church which, IL consummated, will
comprise denomination of about
one and a half million members.
The combining of the forces was
agitated to some extent about four
or five years ago, but for various
reasons was not carried into effect,
and steps TO form such an alliance
were again taken about a year ago.
There is already in existence what
is known as the Federal Council the
membership of which comprises one
representative for every five thou
sand members of each of the three
denominations which is above the
general conferences of each of the
three churches and which will hold
them intact until the alliance is f.
nally consumated.
These churches are very similar in
many ways, differing, principally in
the manner of church government,
and there will probably be verylittle
diihculty in bringing about the
change. As near as can be learned
from a number of the members OF
the Conference. the sentiment OF
this conference is in favor of the
alliance and the delegates to the
general conference of the church
which will be held in Washington,
DC. in May, 1904, and who were
be elected on Friday afternoon OF
last week will be instructed to vote
in favor of the same.
The general conference of the
United Brethren church will be
held in October, 1904, aud that OF
the Congregational some time in
1905, at each of which final action
on the matter will be taken.

DIEDIS NOVA SCOTIA.

We take the following from the
Hants Journal, published at Wins
dor, Nova Scotia, copy of which
was sent us by Judge Hoke, form
erly of this circuit:
Fot almost year we have had
with us fine old Christian gentles
man, whose quiet manners and
kindly disposition won him very
many friends. We refer to the Rev.
Jacob Raymond, who after intense
suffering passed TO his rest on Fri
day last at $3.50 p. IN. The subject
of this sketch was born ia Taylor
county, near Grafton, West Virgin
ia, Ian. 10 1876. When quite
lad he connected himself with the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and
for over forty years was connected
with its itinerancy, and during all
that period was member OF II 9
Upper Iowa Conference OF that
Church. Nine years ago this month,
on account of failing health he re
signed active work in the ministry,
and remained in Iowa until the
death of his wife, and some
months after that event in Septem-
Der, 1904, came to Winsdor to make
his home with his daughter, Mrs.
Hoke. wife of the U. S. Consul.
He seemed to enjoy fairly good
health for him, until two or three
weeks before his death, when his
heart trouble became worse. He
was able to be about, however, un-
til Thursday, Aug. goth, and suffer
ed considerably until the hour Of
his death release. A brief funeral
service conducted by the pastor of
the Methodist Church, assisted by
Rev. ]. A. Mosher, and the remains
were conveyed 10 the ID. A. X. de 3.
pot where they were forwarded to
Ackley, Iowa, for interment. On
account of recent illness, neither
the Judge nor Mrs. Hoke were able
to accompany the remains, which
were forwarded by the Maritime
Express Co. The sympathy of very
many friends is extended to Judge
and Mrs. Hoke in this bcreave-
ment.
