Miss Hambly and Mr.. Rayner were
married last Saturday at the home
of DR.. and Mrs. Geoghegan at Bell
ingham. Only a very few friends
were present to witness the cere-
mony. Miss Hambly will be much
missed by her many friends at East
Sound.
East Sound has the honor of being
the first place on the islands to get
into communication with the outside
world. The wires of the international
Telephone Company were tapped a
few nights ago and number of prom
inent citizens invited to be present at
the first communication between
Bellingham and Orcas island. This
was an event in the history of the
islands to be long remembered.

Cantine at Santa Cruz

Mr.. and Mrs. G. E. Cantine, form
erly of Lopez, have returned to the
coast from their extended eastern

at Santa Cruz, where they have
bought home. In letter request

Mr.. Cantine says their house is

sprinkle of October. Twenty miles
from here in the Paiaro valley cherry

berries, raspberries, peaches and
grapes are abundant. It seems a
topsy-turvy sort of a climate that
will produce such things at this time.

Bows Are Watched.

When we see the boys on the
streets and public places we often
wonder if they know that business
men are watching them. In every
bank, store and Office there will soon
be a place for a boy to fill. Those
who have the management OF the at
fairs of business will select n OF
the boys; they will not select him
for his ability to swear, smoke ciga-
rettes or tap a beer key. And the
society swell" who is daft about lit
tie social functions and is happy IN
the conceit that he is Gust the arti-
cle' that young ladies find indispen-
sable on all occasions, is as little de-
mand as the beer guzzler or ciga-
rette smoker.
Business men may have a few loose
habits themselves, but they are look
ing for boys who are as near gentle
men in every sense of the word as
they can find, and they are able to
give the character of everybody in
the city. They are net looking for
rowdies. When a boy applies for one
of these places and is refused they
may not tell him the reason why they
do not want him, but the boy can de-
pend upon it that he's been rated &C
cording to his behavior. Boys can
not afford to adopt the habits and
conversation of the loafers and row
dies if they ever want to be called to
responsible observation-disclosures

An Ideal Trapper.

Among Iredell's game trappers is
Mr.. w. II. Boovey, who operates
along the banks of Third Greek. Mr..
Boovcy was in town Saturday and
sold to Messrs Brawiey & Henry nine
mink hides, receiving $3.50 for
them, or $40 each. Since the sea
son opened in December, Mr.. Boovev
has worked forty-two hides. The
season for trapping minks is dur
ing the three months of December
January and February. Owing tc
such cold weather this winter, hides
will be good until the middle Of
March. Mr.. Boovey uses a smooth
jawed steel trap for his business.
and says during all his trapping ex
perience be has not known but one
mink to gnaw off its foot and there
by release itself. 1t is not necessary
to bait the trap at all. The trap is
set in a mink path and is covered
over with a shallow coat of sand 50
as to deceive the mink. Mr.. Boovey
scatters his traps about and some
mornings it means a ~ffteen-milG
walk to go around to all of them.
He sometimes starts out in the morn
ing, sets traps along his route and
by the time he locates the last one.
he is so far from home that he spends
the NIGHT at the other end of the line
and returns home next morning, bag
cling the nights catch as he goes.
When a neiRhbor is bothered with
minks, he sends for Mr.. Boovey as he
would for the thresherman in har-
vest time. MI. Boovey moves his
traps to his neighbours place and is
generally several mink hides to the
good when he leaves.-Statesvilte

Apparently a point has been reach
ed in the eastern war where the great
Russian army under Kuropatkin must
either surrender or be annihilated.
The dispatches carried in this morn
ing's issue are from st. Petersburg
and show that the Russians them
selves have become disheartened and
see nothing but disaster ahead The
japanese soldiers are aiming to get
possession of the railroad, which
would cut the Russians off from sup
plies and hopes of reinforcement. AS
impossible as it seemed at the out
set of the war, it is apparent that
Russia is whipped nation in spite of
her area, her riches and her millions
of people.

FERTILIZERS.

Suggestions for Their Use From Ohio
Experiment Station.
The principal considerations govern,
ing the economical use Of manures anC
fertilizers, as indicated by the inves
legations Of the Ohio Experiment Sta
tion, are a) the character Of the soil;
(2) the kind of crop and (3) the sys,
tenn of management.
For the clay soils of eastern Ohio
especially those which lie upon and
are largely derived from shales and
sandstones, phosphorus is the element
first required in a fertilizer, and un-
til this Is supplied neither nitrogen nor
potassium can be used with economy
Phosphorus, however, will only pro-
duce it's full effect when associated
with abundant supplies Of available nj.
trogen and potassium. When, there
fore, the land has been depleted of It's
humus by exhaustive cropping the use
OF phosphorus alone will not produce
maximum crops.
Our knowledge concerning the soil
requirements of those parts of the
state where the underlying rock is
limestone is very indefinite, hut there
is some reason to suspect that on such
soils potassium may occupy a relative
ly more important position in the fer
tiliZer than over the sandstones; but
even here 1t will generally be found
that phosphorus is essential to the
full effectiveness Of the fertilizer and
that a supply Of available nitrogen
must either be found in the soil, in
the form Of abundant humus, or else
must be supplied in manure or nitro
genous fertilizers, before the maxi
mum Of crop production is reached.
The investigations Of the Illinois Ex-
pertinent Station have shown that on
black, mucky soils, where the supply
Of humus Is in excess, postassium may
be the controlling factor in crop pro-
duction; hence on such soils special
attention should be given to supplying
this element, either in manure or in
potash salts.
1t does not appear that, within the
range of ordinary farm cropping, the
kind of crop plays as important a part
in determining the composition of the
fertilizer as many farmers have been
led to believe. 1t is true that legum-
inous crops, such as clover, beans, etc,
require less nitrogen than the cereals,
potatoes, ETC., and 1t appears that corn
and potatoes are able to utilize organic
nitrogen, such as that of manure or
black soils, to better advantage than
wheat or oats; but the fact that par
ticular crop may show a higher per-
centage Of nitrogen or potassium in its
composition than others may simply
mean, as 1t does In the case of nitro
gen in the leguminous crops, that it
possesses superior ability to obtain
this element from natural sources. The
attempt, therefore, to prescribe spe-
cial fertilizer for special crop, with
out reference to the soil and the sys-
tenn of cropping, must re regarded as
lacking a scientific basis.
On all soils the system Of manage
ment plays a most important part In
