Local Athletes V ictbrs

The athletic exhibition Monday
night resulted in victories for both OF
the Friday Harbor contestants In
the wrestling match Austin Hanson
was "downed" by Arthur Mckay
the first time in half a minute and
the second time in about 8 minutes.
The boxers, John Sweeney and George
Shattuck, were more evenly match
ed. Shattuck is the older of the two
and considerably heavier and his
friends were so confident that he
would have comparatively easy
victory that quite bit of money was
risked On bets that he would win.
Sweeney is the cooler-headed of the
two, quicker and more alert. Neither
is scientific. Had Johnny" realized
his advantage several times and fol-
lowed it up he might have ended the
contest as early as the ninth round
so the "sports" say. James Nc
Ginniss acted as referee and gave
entire satisfaction to both sides. His
decision in favor of Sweeney Oh
"points" was considered entirely fair.
There was fairly good crowd in at
tendance and it was orderly and
good-natured. Sheriff McCrary had
well guarded against any disturbance
by stationing four deputies in the
hall, who were paid by the contest
ants, but they had little to do. Quite
number "took in the scrap" from
Anacortes, Orcas island points, Lo-
pee and Roche Harbor.

ishment of first-class steamboat SER
vice between that city and Victoria,
via the islands. The route would lie
in sheltered waters nearly all the
way and would soon become one of
the most popular, as it is one of the
most beautiful, on the entire Pacific
coast. The area of ffarming territory
directly tributary to Victoria is very
limited and the city affords one of the
best markets on the coast for farm
products of all kinds. A suitable
steamer, making tri-weekly. trips and
touching one or more points on San
Juan, Lopez and Orcas islands, would
be sure to build up good freight
and passenger business, and 1t might
be possible also to secure profitable
international mail contract. The pro-
posed international telephone cable,
If laid, as now seems probable, will
make the relations between the two
cities much closer than they have
been hitherto and will intensity the
need of a direct inter-island steam
boat service connecting them.

son in-law, E. S. Pease, is interested
with him.

Van Deman on Grating

In recent address before a meet
ing of fruit growers Prof Van De-
man, the eminent pohologist, said:
''In top grating | never make a
square cut; I always cut at an angle
of 45 degrees and put in one scion.
| never cut branch so big that one
scion would not be sufficient. Even if
it is q inches in diameter | just put
in one scion just begin at the top
and saw it right down at a very
sharp angle, and then with my knife
| cut off the top and put my scion on
there Many times you can set a
graft without ever making a crack.
Cleft grating is the best way.
81 use one part of tallow, two parts
of beeswax and four parts of resin
for my grating wax. That will
make wax that will work in almost
any weather when you are able to do
grating.
Tn grating tree it depends up
on the tree Itself. II it is a very
small tree I might cut the whole
thing off and just put on one scion
and have a straight scion of it, but as
a rule | would rather 60 up to where
l had several scions to put in and
make them smaller. Rather than
cut a great large limb like my arm l
would go higher. Never cut off1closer
TO the fork than about four inches,
because if you happen to fail you can
let few sprouts grow on that, and
the next year yeu have room to make
another cut little further back"

OF regret that instances are reported
Of an exhibition of an anU-foreign
spirit on the part Of narrow-mindcd
men IN Japan and Of readiness to
make Use Of what presents itself To
them as an opportunity to advance by
means injurious to others, the inter-
ests of their own religious faith These
facts lay special responsibility upon
the representative men Of AL religions
IN the empire While It lis the duty of
all such to guide the people In matters
of religion and TO inculcatc love of

their own faiths and consCiences, II is
also the duty of all to cultivate the
great principles Of universal peace and
love, not IN the interest OF any one
creed or cult, but rather for the benefit
Of all men. More particularly they
should endeavor to make It clear
abroad that the war Is not conflict
of race against race or of religion
against religion. but one entered into
solely for the rightful interests Of
Japan. and at home, while using every
proper means TO bind the whole ma
ton together as one man In It's contest
to secure an honorable peace, they
should be forward in efforts TO dis
oountenance any spirit OF extreme ma
tionalism or Of animosity between re-
ligions.
For the accomplishment Of these ends
