According to Judge Joiner
recent ominous hints in the
Anacortes American about a
revival of the "deep, dark and
diabolical'' conspiracy to detach
Fidalgo, Guemes and Sinclair
islands from Skagit county and
attach them to San Juan with
a view to making Anacortes the
county seat are entirely without
foundation. 1t is to be hoped
that the judge is right and that
no concern need be felt in this
county on account of the fact
that since the American editor
tally condemned the scheme,
called its advocates political
vampires" and said it "would
mean the ruination of every
property owner in San Juan
county," control of the paper
has been acquired by two of the
principal supporters of the pro-
ject, Captain R. E. Davis and
r. P. Thomas, and another,
w. T. Odlin, has been elected
mayor of the city. Are these
gentlemen members of "the
political octupus" which the
American, just before it's recent
change of ownership, said
CROOKS harm to every industry
in the county,"

the people is opposed to re-

the people is opposed to a re-
turn to the old system of small
districts. The recent good
roads convention at Walla Walla
declared in favor of amending
the present law in some re-
spects but opposed return to
the old system, and that seems
to be the view generally taken
on this side of the mountains.
In many, if not most of the
counties, the present law has
not had fair trial. One year
is not enough time in which to
fairly test the merits of such a
law and yet that is practically
all the test that it has had.
1t has not given entire satisfact-
ion in this county but with all
it's faults we believe it to be far
preferable to the old system.

The seamen's convention held
in San Francisco last week
adopted a resolution urging the
enactment of legislation pro-
hibiting the use of fish traps or
fish wheels and requiring the
cooperation of packers to that
end. AS nothing was said about
the lime trust it is probable that
the resolution was not suggested
by the platform adopted by the
local Democracy in this county
in the recent campaign.

A LITTLE COMPARISON

Assessor Court, of this county,
was one of the few assessors In
the state who complied with
the request of the state grain
inspector for a report on the
county acreage and yield of
wheat, oats and barley. The
wheat acreage is given as ST.
but the yield is not reported.
The acreage in oats was l,72l,
averaging fifty bushels to the
acre, making a total yield of
$1,000 bushels. The barley
acreage was only II, yielding
$3.50 bushels, or an average OF
fifty bushels to the acre.
Whatcom county is extensive
ly and effectively advertised by
its commercial organizations as
a great farming county and yet
it's wheat acreage, as reported
by the county assessor, is only
about one-seventh as large as
San Juan's and it's oats acreage
and yield only trife more
thai two-thirds as large. 1t
produced a little more barley
but in neither county does the
crop of this cereal amount to
much. In fruit production San
Juan county is far in the lead
of Whatcom and in the produc-
ton of sheep and wool it leads
all the counties of western Wash
ington, nearly all of which are
many times as large as San
Juan in area. We have the
most agreeable, enjoyable and
healthful climate in the state,
the most charming scenery and
the lowest taxes. Thousands
upon thousands of people
throughout the country are
looking for just such advantages
as these, but comparatively few
of them find their way here
because of the lack of organized
effort to attract them. 1t is with
a view to supplying this "long
felt want" that the ISLANDER
suggests the organization of a
county board of trade.

Plot of Ground at Junction of
New Brunswick Avenue and
Division Streets Improved.
PRESENTED BY MAYOR.
Citizens Agreed that If City Would Erect a
Fence they Would See that the Plot is
Placed In Good Condition Fence was
Cast at Foundry ofP. White & Sons Of
this City.

Patrick White and Sons, this morn
ing, began the work OF erecting the
iron picket fence around the triangle G
at tho junction Of New Brunswick
and Madison avenues and Fayette
and Division streets.
This plot of ground was presented
to tho city about a year ago by
Mayor Seaman, who bought it foi
that purpose. The fence is painted
green. Its parts were cast and it was
made at the White foundry. The
ground is now unlevel and bare but
will be made an ornament to that
part of the city shortly.
The triangle is about seventy by
thirty feet, but, in order to properly
respect the ide walkline, rs fixed by
ordinance, barely half Of the plot can
be fenced in. Tho sides and base OF
the newly-made park are thus about
forty.hve and twenty feet respective
ly. Tho ground is surrounded by a
neat asphalt sidewalk, about six feet
wide.
The plot is opposite the ground at
tho southwest corner of New Bruins
wick avenue and Fayette street, the
site of the proposed new police station.

With But.FeW Exceptions the
Merchants Who Do Business
Sundays Were Open Yesterday.
LASTED ONE SUNDAY.
Mayors Order to Close the City Tight
Caused Some Excitement Among Some
of the Shopkeepers a Week Ago Yes
terday but was Not Regarded Yester-
day.

Mayor Seaman S orders to close up
the town for week ago yesterday
seemed to have been forgotten in q
great many instances Ali day yester-
day merchants who chose to do so
had their stores open, curtains up and
were waiting on customers The same
as usual. In some instances the front
door was kept on crack just so
would.be customers could see they
were open if any business was in
tended. Others had an apron or
n piece of paper across the screen door
to hide what was going on insi de.
To an outsider it would appear that
the city lad settled back to its old
Sunday observance. The Mayors
order seemed to have caused little
furry the Sunday following its issue,
but there was little recognition of
it anywhere in the city yesterday.
