The ISLANDER is advised that there
is some criticism of County Commits
sioner Bostian on Orcas island because
he fixed the road tax levy for his dis
trict next year at ) mills, while the
other commissioners fixed Tie levy for
their respective districts at 3 mills We
believe that Mr. Bosuan should ce
commended rather than blamed for bis
action aud that the other commission
ers would have acted wisely had they
provided for a larger road fund in their
districts by Keeping the levy up 10 the
present average for the entire county,
which IS ) mills. The roads on san
Juan and Lopez islands, however, are
in much better condition than are the
Orcas roads, and in addition some new
roads have recently been established
on Orcas island which should be open
ed to travel rs soon ms possible. The
average road tax levy OF the seven
Orcas districts this year is OIL mills,
while the San Juan average is a trifle
over mls and that of the four Lopez
districts 6.5 mills. The lcvies fixed for
next year will produce approximately
81 800 on Orcas island. about the same
amount on san Juan and little over
$500 on Lopez. Is 1t possible that any
one can reason that these amounts can
not be expended to good advantage?
The total for .he entire county is less
than is being expended in some states
Of the Union for n single mile Of first
class macadam road. In addition 10
the amounts mentioned the respective
districts will of course have the pro-
ceeds of the road poll tax collections
within their limits, this tax under the
new law being 81, payable in cash,
whereas under the old law it was S4
and might be paid in work, or "A pre-
tense of work. In Whatcom county,
which stands far i'm the lead Of all
counties in western Washington in
road construction ard whose commits
sioners were among the most active
workers for the passage Of the new law,
a levy OF mills has been fixed i'll all
the districts.

chaser will only take the trouble to as
semble his purchases at one place and
bill them collectively he will only have
one freight and wharfage charge to
pay. The clerical work involved in
billing small package is Just as much
as if it were large one.
The ISLANDER is not an. apologist for
poor steamboat service or for excessive
transportation charges of any kind, but
there has been great Improvement in
our carrying facilities and mail service
during the past few years, while our
picturesque and fruitful islands, amply
able to support several times their pres
ent population. still remain discon-
nected and without telephone or tele-
gfaph communication with the "busy
marts of trade" In cur opinion "the
greatest good of the greatest number
of our people will be best served by
securing such communication and we
can then safely trust TO the natural
competition for growing trade to pro-
vide adequate facilities for transporta-
ton at moderate rates.

Grain Prices High

While the heavy September rains, so
unusual during the harvest season,
seriously injured the oat crop on many
places, prices do not seem to have been
very materially affected. Present
quotations in the local market range
from $40 to. $3.50 according to quality.
Good wheat brings S27. 80 and it is esti-
mated thatthe San Juan, crop of this
cereal is from 20 to 30 per cent larger
than 1t was last year. This island sup
plies most of the W heat used in the
couutv-principally for poultry feed.
Very little, if any, is shipped out of
the county. Eggs are high, as usual
at this time of year. The price is expect
ed to advance to so cents this week.

Apple Picking Season

Apples that are gathered before they
are well colored. showing signs of full
maturity, will scald or discolor and
eventually rot in cold storage much
more easily than those that are left Oh
the trees later, is the opinion of II. f..
Denan i'm Green's Fruit Grower. They
should be left on until there is danger
of their getting soft or falling.
Another most important point is to
rush the apples from the trees to the
storage house. Even few days in a
warm place after gathering will have a
marked effect on them. They will
rIpen much faster off the trees than on
them, unless they are at once put in
cold or very cool storage. If the ripen-
ing process has gone too far there is no
temperature that will keep them. Ap-
Piles must be only as nearly mature as
they can be without beginning to
soften. They must be very firm, yet
not 30 immature that they will not
eventually attain their proper flavor.
After storing, the nearer apples can be
kept to 80 degrees above zero, Fahren-
heit, the better In most country
places this degree is not possible, but
every effort should be made to keep
them cool whether they are for market
or home use.

Working for wide Tires

The bureau of road inquiry Of the
United States government has been
making "a study of the width OF tires
prescribed by local and national au~
thorities in various parts of the world.
In France, every freighting and mar
ket cart, instead of injuring the high
way, improves it. Many Of the tires
are ten inches wrle. In the four
wheeled vehicles in that country the
rear axle is fourteen inches longer than
the fore, and az n result the rear wheels
run i'm a line about an inch outside the
level rolled by the front wheel. After
a few loaded wagons have passed over
a road the highway looks az II steam
roller had been at work. A national
law in Germany prescribes that wagons
heavily loaded must have tires not less
than four inches wide. In Austria the
minimum for similar vehicles is six
and one-half inches, IN Switzerland,
six inches.
In number Of states in this country
laws have been passed granting rebate
of highway taxes to citizens who use Oh
lumber wagons tires not less than three
inches wide. On toll roads in Ken
tucky and several other states farmers
hauling loads in wide-tred wagons arc
entitled to lower rates than those paid
by the owners of narrow-tired vehicles.

A visit After Twenty Years

VIM. Welch, of Vancouver, B. c.,
was in town last week visiting his
uncle, County Commissioners Sand
with, and family. 1t was his first visit
on the island for twenty years. Mr..
Welch is in the grocery BUSINESS in
Vancouver. He reports trade good
and the city growing steadily and sub
stantlally. While there is of course
considerable disappointment expressed
there over the settlement of the Alaska
boundary, few really expected any
other result A determination of the
question that would have given Can
ada an open port on the Lynn canal
wonld have been Of very great advant-
aye to Vancouver and Victoria whole
salers and steamship companies, but
while this was hoped for the old Rus
sian maps, the terms of the Alaska
purchase and the United States undis-
puted possession Of the coveted strip
for third of a century left little rea-
son to expect any other settlement
upon the merits Of the case.
