The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1904-09-24

Much interest was aroused through
out the county during the past week
by the publication in the ISLANDER of
the communication from Saml Rob
ertson, the county game warden, re-
lating his experience with party OF
hunters at Mountain lake, OrcaS is
land, and rejecting to some extent
upon Prosecuting Attorney Wynn,
who directed that the men arrested
by the warden be discharged from
custody on the ground that the evil
dence against them was insufficient
to prove that they had violated the
law. The columns of the ISLANDER
are always open for the fair discuss
ion of any question of public interest,
whether by public officer or pri-
vate citizen. In pursuance of this
policy space was cheerfully given to
Mr.. Robertson letter, although one
paragraph, which the editor thought
too personal and which shed no addi-
tional light upon the question dis
cussed, was omitted. And in pursu-
ance also of this policy, Mr.. Wynn
was asked by the editor this week if
he desired to make any reply to Mr..
Robertsons statements. He said
| that he felt that the game warden's s
letter had placed him in false light
and that in justice to himself his posi-
tion in the matter should be stated.
II do not assume" said he, ito ques-
| ton the veracity of Mr.. Robertson or the
truth of any of the statements contained
| in his letter relative to what occurred on
the mountain at the time he arrested the
men for whose discharge / am held re-
sponsibe. Had he been able to substan-
tiate those statements the gentlemen
charged with having violated the law
would have been arraigned before Justice
| Showers and have no doubt that they
would have been fined and that their
fines would have been promptly paid.
| L.
precisely what he stated in the ISLANDER,
| but Mr. Granger denied that he admitted
to Mr.. Robertson that he was hunting
quail and that he knew he was violating
the law or that he made any overtures to
settle the matter. 1t was therefore ques-
ton of one mans word against another's.
The officer had no corrobOrative evil
| ~ la 81
gers companions, had they been called
upon to give it, would have been wholly
| in his favor. 1t is, of course, admitted
that the men had guns and that they were
hunting. but they said they were hunting
coons, which is not unlawful. Mr.. Rob
ertson could not prove that they were
not. He admitted that he did not see or
hear them shoot and that he found no
game of any kind in their possession.
| Where then was his case? The matter
was fully discussed in the presence of
Justice Showers and it was his opinion, as
well as my own, that the evidence would
not sustain complaint and that it would
therefore be a needless expense to file
one. Mr.. Robertson, while considerably
incensed at first with the outcome of the
CASE, apparently acquiesced in the decision
and accepted gift of s. from a liberal
member of the mountain party, presum-
ably as compensation for the time spent
in his laudable effort to enforce the law"

The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1904-09-24

Probably in no other locality in the
United States can so many Indian
canoes and Indian fishermen be seen
within distance of few miles as
are now gathered along the west
shore of San Juan island. There are
hundreds of canoes drawn up along
the shore or gracefully riding on the
waters, guided by the dexterous
hands of the natives trolling for silver
salmon. All along the coast from
Eagle cove to Mosquito pass smoke
curls upward from the camp fires of
scores of Indian families, huddled
closely together in rudely construct
ed driftwood huts or under the scant
shelter of canoe sails close to the wa
ter's edge. Dark skinned children
of all sizes, bareheaded, barelegged
and scantily clothed, scamper along
t beaches and over the rocks, play
ing in the sand and amusing them
selves as best they can, while their
mothers sit stolidly in or near the
huts weaving rugs, or mats or bas-
kets, or troll for salmon along the
coast with their ''lords and mas
ters. The Indians are nearly all
from British Columbia and most of
them from Vancouver island, there
being quite number from the west
coast, which was the scene of many
exciting adventures of traders and
freebooters and of several dreadful
tragedies one hundred years and
more ago. And besides the hundreds
of Indians camped along the rugged
shore there are u considerable num-
Der of white fishermen and a number
of families in comfortable camps, en-
joying a healthful and delightful out
ing.
The scene presented on a bright,
sunny day is one of the most beauti.
full to be found in the world In the
foreground is the broad expanse of
the great Strait of Juan de Fuca,
calm and beautiful in summer but
terrible enough when lashed into
foam by the winter gales, sweeping
ia from the mighty ocean seventy
miles away. Here and there upon
it's surface great ocean carriers may
be seen, freighted with the products
of the occident and the orient, and
now and then great white war YES
sci of the American or British squa
drons glides majestically up or down
the strait. Coastwise steamers
bearing millions. of gold from the
Alaskan mines and carrying north
ward provisions and supplies of all
kinds, pass within a short distance of
the "stern and rockbound coast"
while close inshore and off the rocky
points where the tide-rips dance,
hundreds of canoes, skiffs and launches
glide to and fro, in and out of the lit
tie coves, their occupants trolling for
the gamey salmon which find ready
sale to cannerymen at sixteen and
and two thirds cents each. Along
the island shore, on the one hand, the
sounds of lowing cattle and bleating
sheep mingle with the signing of the
wind in the branches of the gnarled
old trees that have withstood the
storms of. centuries, while on the
other,
"From its rocky caverns the deep voiced
neighboring ocean speaks
And in accents disconsolate answers
the wall of the forest"
And in the background the snow
capped peaks of the Olympic noun
tains tower high above the deep,
dark waters of the great strait and
form a noble setting to a lovely
scene.

SPENCER SAYS NO SIR.
Puts Stamp of DisapprovaI on Edison
Company Water Scheme.

CITY Attorney Charles f. Spencer
today put the stamp OF dlsapproVal
on the resolution form" which the
waterworks scheme of the Edison
company is alleged to have assumed
IF the city council grants by reso-
luton the Edison company the right
to build a waterworks plant or us
own says Mr.. Spencer, lit might
about as well grant a franchise. When
the company gets its pipes laid in the
streets and its pumping station estab-
lished, it is doubtful whether the city
would have the right tO-terminate the
use of the plant, even though it was
put in merely by resolution In some
cases where parties have not been
legally granted the right to put IN
utilities of this kind, the courts have
held that the parties who spent their
money putting in the utility have the
right to enjoy the use of it for a rea-
sonable length of time. That would
probably be the situation here. The
company would have the right to keep
its plant in service a reasonable
length of time, whatever that might
be, regardless of the requests or COM
mands of the city"
1t is doubtful. now that Mr.. Spencer
has cleared up the legal phase of the
situation, whether the council will
grant the Edison company the right
to build it's own waterworks even by
a resolution.
Mayor Bergundthal is opposed to
the scheme. He says if the Edison
company should ever get its mains in,
the city could never elect a council
which would have the courage to or
der the Edison company to take them
out, even if such a thing should be
desirable or possible. He is opposed
to making the waterworks situation
any more complicated than it already
is.
Vim. Green says: 4 would just as
soon grant the Edison company a
franchise as to grant it the right by
resolution. I am opposed to giving the
company either"
S r. Kutz. councilman from the
First ward, is. on the other hand in
favor of the resolution plan. He said
today:
If this matter should come before
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-05-10

the council in the form of a resolution,
would be in favor of it. can't see
that 1t would do the city any harm.
We don't want to discourage any ex-
pansion of Topeka enterprises
Councilman Joseph Griley is inclined
to favor the resolution scheme, but
that was before he knew what City
Attorney Spencer's opinion is. He said:
Il might be in favor of giving the Edf-
son company what it wants by resolu-
ton, but 1 want to be sure that the
city is not getting tangled up with
something it can't get out Of"
1t is expected that Councilman Howe
and Holiday would be in favor of the
Edison plan, as they both voted in
favor of the proposed franchise when
It came up in the form of the commit
tee report. Councilman Ryder stated
at that time that he would be in favor
of granting the company the desired
privilege by resolution. It is therefore
pretty safe to estimate that the Edison
resolution scheme has four votes sure
Howe Holiday. Ryder and Kutz. To
carry the proposed resolution they
would have to muster three more votes
and il is not likely that they can do
the trick.
The Edison company viii no doubt
make a careful canvass of the situa-
ton before IL comes before the cQun-
ell again It will find out its chance
of success before making another ef-
fort If there is small chance Of Sc
curing the passage even of resolution
it is likely that the plan will be apan-
doned, and never brought formally be-
fore the council.
Councilmen Neil. Green, Nellis, Rice
and Swendson are believed to be GER
tain to vote against the proposed Teso-
luton, with Sinner, Griley and Hughes
somewhat in doubt

KING is NAMED.
VIII Succeed Judge Dickerson on the
Bench

Governor Bailey today appointed r.
i. King, county attorney OF Marion
county, as Judge of the Eighth judi
cial district, to succeed Judge J. T
Dickerson who resigned Monday to
take his recent federal appointment to
a tudgeHhip in the Indian Territory.
The contest for the appointment
was between King and Judge o. L.
Moore, who was judge of the district
for eight years and who was nOmi-
mated by a judicial convention for an
other term recently, which nomina-
ton is now contested before the state
election board
AS stated in the State Journal Mon
day, Mr. King was a candidate at the
time Dickerson was appointed several
months ago, but Governor Bailey gave
the place to Dickerson on the ground
that the office belonged to Marion
county and the majority of the people
seemed to be for Dickerson- Now that
Dickerson has a better place the ma
jOrity of the Marion county people
seem to be for King.
In giving his reasons for appointing
King today Governor Bailey said:
Il was asked to appoint Judge
Moore while this contest is hanging
over him. do not propose to pass
on the regularity or the irregularity
I. of his nomination, or its justice or in
justice, which I would seem to do if
had appointed him. That is for the
contest board to decide. 1 appointed
Judge Dickerson some time ago, be-
lieving that Marion county is entitled
to the Judgeship, and the same argu-
ment held good now for the appoint
m ent of Mr. King also received
some very positive remOnstrances
against the appointment of Judge
Moore. I am told that an adjourned
session of the district court is due to
commence tomorrow in Marion coun-
ty, and therefore it was necessary to
make the appointment at once"
In the meantime Judge Diclzerson has
informed the state election board that 50
far as he is concerned he does not wish
to further contest the nomination of
Judge Moore. SO long he has his new
Indian Territory job In letter to Sec
rotary of state Burrow. Judge Dickerson
says:
Yours of the Gtn received I will say
have already notified Mr.. Coleman that
withdraw my name from consideration
for the purpose of going upon the ticket
in this judicial district Therefore there is
no need of proceeding with any contest
as far as my name is concerned
This dOes-not end the contest. however.
DickerSOn was not the one who protested
the nomination OF Judge Moore. It was
protested by Thomas Dever of Geary. @.
@. Moore of Morris and others. and their
protest has not been Withdrawn. They
will insist upon their contest. and if they
contest board, which everybody is guess
ing they Wont do. DickersOn viii be the
nominee and he will have to decline. This
would leave the way open either for new
primaries or Tor the vacancy to be filed
BY the judicial committee. which is prob
ably what Judge King and his friends
are after.
