FREIGHT RATE ON LIVE STOCK

Editor ISLANDERS: The ISLANDER
Of Nov. 5th says:
"Referring to the rate on life stock be-
tween the Bellin cham bay cities and ISL

steamer Buckeye, says that the rate Oh

nor more than $3.50 on horses.n
The last COW shipped to Doe Bay oil

Consigned to b. f. White. The freight
rate on that COS was $3.50, warfage 81
cents more. inquiry at Doe Bay an'
else where reveals the fact that $2.5t
has been the customary freight charge
from Whatcom to Orcas island points
on each head of cattle. Mr.. Newhall

is not pleasant task to call attention t.
this propensity, but it Is certainly up
t, him to refund so cents on each head
o cattle he has charged $3.50 for trans

White, who has the evidence of over
charge. The only charitable conclu

BRIGHTON Is
DISCHARGED
TO SHOOT THROUGH
j. l.. THOMAS PANTS
Threat Proven, But Justice Blair Olives
Opinion That No Assault Was Conn
mitted = Al Granger Fined $50 and
Costs for violating Game Law.

The hearing of u. II. Brighton, of
Blakely island, upon the charge OF as
sanlt upon J. l.. Thomas with intent t"
do great bodily injury, was commenced
before Justice Blair Saturday after
noon, Prosecuting Attorney Wynn and
A. e. Mead, late prosecuting attorney
OF Whatcom courty, representing the
state, and l.. Il. Irwin representing z
the defendant. The testimony which
eliminated in the alleged assault show
ing that Thomas and Brighton disa-
greed over the division and marking OF
lot of sheep belonging to Thomas d
Simpson and Brighton jointly and thai
after some angry words Brighton Went
to the house aud came out with rlt1v
with which he threatened "shoo
through Thomas pants" On the
stand Brighton swore that Thomas had
advised him to scare sheep thieves i'll
that way, and he seems to have re
garded Thomas himself in the light OF
a marauder seeking to deprive him OF
his own. He was disarmed, however,
aud a sort of a statu quo apparently
established. One witness, Mr.. Bowles,
testified that Mrs. Brighton asked him
to put the gun away where neither she
nor her husband would know where il
was. The case was continued Monday
morning, Chas. Williams and Mr.. Full
ton testifying to defendants good char
acter. The law and the evidence were
well summed up by counsel on both
sides in their arguments. There seems
to have been no material disagreement
as to the facts alleged. 1t was simply
question as to whether the justice
would consider the facts established
sufficient evidence of assault with in
tent to do bodily harm" The defend
ant disclaimed having any such intent
and Justice Blair evidently coincided
with him, for he ordered his discharge
and in so doing stated that he did not
believe any jury in the state would
convict him upon the evidence sub
mitted. The costs, amounting to about
$50, were taxed against the county, for
the reason that the complaint was
sworn to by the prosecuting attorney
instead of by Thomas, the complaint
sworn to by him at Whatcom not hav-
ing been accepted as basis for the
action in this county.
A bit of information developed in the
trial that may be of interest to What
com people. 1t was shown that in the
work of marking and dividing the
sheep they were driven into "a barn
and were so crowded that eight of them
smothered. When they were found,
some hours afterward, the carcasses
were dressed and shipped to Whatcom
and returns were made to Mr.. Brigh-
ton for his fifth interest at the rate OF
% cents pound for the meat, LBrigh-
tons portion of the proceeds returned
being 8S cents.

must be made by the county treasurer
within thirty days after the receipt of
the money by him, upon the authority
of certificate signed by the prosecut-
ing attorney or by the judge or justice

San Juan Sugar Beets

The importance of the beet sugar in
1ustry was recognized in this state a
ew years ago when the Legislature
made an appropriation of $4,000 for
he payment of bounty upon beet sugar
manufactured in the state, from hon e.
grown beets. The appropriation was
in the nature of bonus 10 the beet
sugar factory soon after established at
Waverly, near Spokane, and which is
SAID to have been quite successful.
Large quantities of sugar beets are
raised in eastern Washington, but the
idea of raising them extensively in
western Washington does not seem to
have been seriously considered. 1t has,
in fact, been contended that the soil
and climate of the Sound country are
not adapted to their production. Son e
farmers have claimed that they would
not thrive in this county, for instant e,
but that they are mistaken has been
conclusively demonstrated by John
Sweeney, who raised some of immen, e
size on his farm in the San Juan vale y
this year. A sample of them, IA pounds
weight, may be seen at the ISLANDER
Office. They were raised from govern
ment seed, as an experiment only, and
no particular attention was given to
their cultivation. They may possibly
contain smaller percentage of sugar
than the beets grown in the hotter
summer climate east of the mountains,
but they are certainly beets hard 10
beat as to size and yield. AS stock fee d
Mr.. Sweeney considers them better
than mangel wurtzeIs, Of which he
raises large quantities.
