THE BOSTIAN ROAD
Orcas Island Taxpayers Opposed TO
Its Construction

Much opposition is manifested
against the construction of what is
known as the "Bostian road, " over
the right-of-way about eighty rods
in length for which the county paid
800 TO Commissioner Bostian q few
months ago. A petition now in cir
culatiOn on Orcas island sets forth
the objections of the signers as fol-
lows:
To the Honorable Board of County Com
mssioners of San Juan County
Whereas, 1t is proposed to appropriate
a considerable portion of the Road Fund
of District No. 2 approximately one
third thereof for the purpose of con
structing a road known as the "Bostlan
road" with an expensive bridge there
on, and
Whereas, The construction of said road
would obviously be for the convenience
of two or three persons who reside in the
locality and who already have access to
two county roads adjacent, and
Whereas, The appropriation of so large
IA portion of the road fund, already en-
tirely inadequate for the making of neces.-
sary repairs TO the main travelled roads,
would be an inequitable and we believe
am unwarrantable apportionment of said
road fund and would necesstate the sus-
pension of work where it is greatly
needed; now,
Therefore, We, the undersigned, tax
payers of Orcas island, San Juan county,
Washington, respectfully and earnestly
request that no contract be entered into
for the construction of the proposed
"Bostan ROAD and that no part Of the
Road Fund of District No. 2 be expended
for work on said road this year.

Scene 4-Prince, having followed the
blossoms in search of the beautiful
Marguerite comes upon group of the
flowers, who look much worse for
the shower. Daisy has lost all her
beauty and is not recognized, but.
finally, is identified by means of the
lost slipper. The Prince is mystified;
but Godmother Nature appears, ex-
plains il all and restores the beautiful
Marguerite. She is crowned Princess,
and the blossoms do her homage in u
closing chorus.

Following the operetta, there will
be "Dmb-bell drill" by twelve
boys, a Butterfly drill by twelve
girls, and a motion song and drill by
ten girls of the grammar and high
school.

CINDERELLA IN
FLOWERLAND
CAST OF CHARACTERS AND SYN
OPSIS OF ACTS
Charming Operetta TO BE Given at
the odd Fellows Hall, Thursday
Evening, June ?, for Benefit of
school Library Fund.

The ISLANDER takes pleasure in
again calling its readers attention to
the charming little operetta of ''Cin-
derella in Flowerland, which is to be
presented at Odd Fellows hall next
Thursday evening by pupils of the
public school, For several weeks past
the little folks and their teachers
have been busily engaged in prepar-
ing for the play, which has taught
the children who have a part in it
much that is wholesome and bene-
ticial. The teachers have worked
hard to teach the little players their
parts and drill them well, and with
few exceptions parents have re-
sponded cheerfully to the demands
made upon them for material for
costumes and work in the making.
The object of the play is to raise
funds for the purchase of more books
for the school library The addition
of high school grades adds greatly to
che need of standard works of refer
ence, Listory, science and literature.
The prices of admission will be 20
cents for adults and 15 cents for
children under twelve years of age.
An extra charge of ten cents will be
made for reserved seats, which will
be on sale at the drug store Monday
1t is especially urged that all who at
tend be in their seats by s o'clock
and that all be as quiet as possible
during the presentation of the oper
etta in order that the voices of the
little folks may be distinctly heard.
Following is the cast of characters
and synopsis:

Had a Little Difficulty.

Jack Keegan, chief cook at Cor
 mans logging camp, was brought
 to town last Saturday by Deputy Sheriff Kennedy on warrant sworn out by Pete Morrison, charg- ing Keegan with assault with a deadly weapon. Having to get back to camp to attend to his duties he waived the examination and was held to the grand jury in the sum Of $500 bail, which was given. From a reliable source we learned that the trouble arose over some signs posted in the dining room. stating that no talking was allowed at the table. Morrison took offense and began abusing Keegan, when the latter, after taking as much as he could stand, seized an axe han dle and proceeded to work Pete's head over.

PROGRESS OF EDUCATION.
Supt. Hinemon Says Greatest Re-
source is Boys and Girls.

In concluding his biennial report
State Superintendent John Fl. Hine-
mon says:
Reviewing the work and observa-
teens Of the past two years. many
evidences of educational progress are
apparent In all parts Of the state
rHmbars of splendid schoolhouses
With al modern conyeniences ard eY-
cry provision for the health and com.
fGlt OF the children. have been erect
cG The buildings are better equipped
than hitherto school boards are pay
iE& better salaries and are exercising
greater prudence and care in the Sc
lection OF teachers. and educational
sentiment in general has q decidedly
inward tendency.
That the funds for school purposes
are wholly Inadequate to give us what
"" should have in our public schools
IS admitted on every side The
Isrse number of communities Which
sought permission from the last gen
erdl assembly to mortgage the school
property To secure money for building
purposes shows that the school fumes
are insufficient and that there is Il
desire and determination TO furnish
better accommodations and better ia
cilities for the school children of the
state. Wien the present constitution
as adopted We were Just beginning
70 recover from the ravages and des-
e!@tiOns OF four years Of civil war.
Considering the general condition Of
the state the provisions for public
schCo.S at that time seemed liberal,
and indeed they were liberal
eve are now on the highway OF
q eat prosperity. Our rich material
resources are in great part YET un-
touched and the commonwealth Is
Gest med in d few years to greatly in
crease its taxable wealth. The time
Las come when better and more lib
IA provision should be made for the
education of our youth.
THE greatest resource of Arkansas

boys and girls; every energy OF the
state should be utilized 10 provide fo.
the proper training and development
