Look Out for Cut Worms

Cut worms have again appeared or
P. E. Peterson's farm in the San
Juan valley and have done a lot ol
damage in his garden and in a fine
field of peas, nineteen acres in area,
which he estimated, before the worms
appeared, would yield forty tons.
There are tens of thousands of them
and nothing that Mr.. Peterson has
been able to do has seemed to check
their ravages. They have also ap-

dor is about six times the size of the
State of Washington but its total
permanent population is only about
$4,000, of whom large portion are
Indians and Eskimos. Hunting, fish
ing and trapping are the chief oc-
cupations of the people. The climate,
though cold, is healthful and the
short summers are so fine that the

1t appears that some question has
peep raised as to the legal qualifca-
lions OF Miss Sweeney to hold the
Office of county superintendent. to
which she was elected last fall. In
justice to her The ISLANDER cheer
fully quotes the law on the subject
and gives publicity to some further
evidence which should be regarded as
conclusive as to her right to the
office.
Sections 81 and 80 of the school
law provide as follows
SECTION 81. No person shall be eligible
to hold the office of county superintend-
ent OF common schools who shall not at
the tlme OF his election or appointment
have taught in the public schools of this
state one school year Of nine months, and
who shall not at the time of such election
or appointment hold state certificate or
life diploma or a first grade common
school certificate in full force and effect: %#
SECTION 80. The county auditor shall
not place the name of any person upon
the official ballot as a candidate for the
Office of county superintendent of COM
mon schools unless such person shall
have filed in the office of the county
auditor, at least twenty days before the
date at which the election is to be held,
proof of having taught in the schools of
the state one school year of nine months,
together with copy of one of the
certificates required by this act.
Miss Sweeney complied with the
above requirements and the Republi-
auditor and officers of the Repubi-
can County Central committee saw
no reason to question her quali6ca-
tions for the Office, in view of the fact
that her certificate from the State
Normal school at Bellingham author
ICES her to teach in the common
schools of the State of Washington
for FIVE YEARS from September l,
1903. The fact that the certificate
was granted by state school for five
years is of itself sufficient evidence
that it is regarded as the full equival-
ent of a first grade common school
certificate, second grade certificates
being issued for two years only.
That such is the opinion of the state
authorities is evident from the follow
ing reply to a letter written by Miss
Sweeney to the state superintendent
of public instruction, who is also ex
officio president of the state board
of education:

Monday against trapmen for violat-
ing the thirty-six hour closing law.
The fish commissioner is quoted as
saying that "the offense occurred in
San Juan, Skagit and Whatcom
counties" and further that he is "de-
terfnined to enforce the law rigidly. !"
Most of the violations are believed to
have been in Whatcom county. The
revenue launch Guard came down
from Point Roberts Sunday, cruising
along the Whatcom county shore and
along the outside of Lummi island,
and the officer in charge reported
that nearly every trap was fishing,
and in fact that there seemed to be
no pretense made OF obeying the law.
Purse seine fishermen on the sal
mon banks filed formal complaint
in the Office of the state fish commits
sioner the first of the week alleging
wilful violations of the thirty six hour
closing law on the part of trap
owners There is no doubt that they
have good cause for complaint. The
law was enacted with view to pre-
venting the total extinction of the sal
mon industry as result of un-
restricted trap fishing and the max
imum rather than the minimum fine
should be imposed upon every trap
owner who wilfully violates the law
One trap owner on the west coast of
San Juan, who favors the strict
enforcement of the law, believes that
trapmen who wilfully violate it should
have their licenses cancelled.
She second seasons work of the
University Summer school of biology
is finished and most of the students

collections and the educational results

the Canadian islands, lying north OF
Stuart and Waldron, in this county.
The trip was made under special
permits granted by Collector Ide, OF
the Puget Sound Customs district,
and Collector Newberry at Victoria.
Some dredging was done but little or
noticing new was found. The waters
of this county are still considered the
richest in animal and vegetable life
Of any in the northwest and 50 con-

SHODDY IN A FABRIC.
How Imposition in Piece of Sup,
posedly Good Cloth May
Be Detected.

WOrsted cloths are less often adult
terated than woollens and are more
easily detected A cotton wOrsted is a
lie on the face of it, for the cotton
stands out with prominence, says
the American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter. But often a cotton thread is
twisted with a wOrsted thread, and to
determine its presence it is only neceS-
sary to take the twist out OF the thread
and then examine it's component parts.
Cotton, having a long staple, can be
carded and combed with wool to be spun
into wOrsted yarn. This is done to
cheaper the cost of production. Cotton
is carded and spun with wool and shOd-
dy, not so much to cheaper the yarn,
for cotton is generally as expensive as
some shOddies, but is introduced to give
strength or spinning qualities to the
stock. In many cases the shoddy is Of
such short staple that it would not
staLd the drawing in spinning, and as
it would make the cost Of the yarn too
high it put in enough wool to give that
lacking strength, cotton is put in for
this purpose.
The percentage of cotton in fabric
can be determined in this manner:
Take a small piece of cloth and weigh
it, Now boil it for five minutes in a
five per cent. solution of caustic soda.
Take out what is left and. if any, it is
all cotton. The wool will all be dis
solved. The percentage of shoddy cam
not be determined except by expert
ence.
A cloth or yarn with shoddy in it is
easily detected by it's feel. Cloth made
Of all new wool is softer feeling than
one containing shoddy, for the latter
has lost that new, soft, springy feel
peculiar to wool.

And after this she called him Mr.. Dog.
