Free Garden Seeds

The ISLANDER has received from the
agricultural department three sacks
of garden seeds under the franks Of
Congressman Humphrey and Jones.
Our subscribers are welcome to them
if they will call at the Office for them
or send US a card expressing wish
that a package be mailed them. The
editor does not believe in the indis-
criminate distribution OF common
seeds by the government. A very
large proportion of the money so ex-
pended is wasted. The practice IS
not approved by the secretary OF
agriculture but congress persists In
it year after year, majority OF the
members apparently huggiDg the de-
lusion that their farmer constituents
are apt TO look upon the receipt OF a
package of seeds. franked with the
fac-simile signature of the Hon. Mr.. 30
and Su. as evidence of that states
mans deep solicitude for their wei
fare and of his own especial fitness
to sit in one of the 'seats of the
ungodly" at Washington, and look
wise and at wise-or otherwise.
The congressman from this state are
of course endeavoring to make the
best use they can of the seeds placed
at their disposal, whether or not thev
are supporters of this needless AN
nual raid upon the treasury. Inc
ISLANDER will cheerfully assist them
by aiding in the distribution while
at the same time urging them to vote,
against the continuance OF the prac-
tice whenever they get AN oppor-
tunity.

There is said to be some talk among
residents of the eastern end of Orcas
island of organizing a mutual tele-
phone company to operate in that
neighborhood The community is not
thickly settled and the service would
necessarily be very limited without
the privilege of connecting with the
Inter-Island system or the Interna-
tional long distance lines, which
privilege could not be secured.
There is long distance station at
Alderbrook farm, but under the
company's contract with the Inter
Island company it would not be
permitted to transmit any messages
received over the lines of another
local company, nor would the Inter-
Island company itself transmit any
such messages. It's line was ex-
tended from Olga to Doe Bay at
considerable expense and if the people
do not appreciate it enough to at
least reimburse the company for the
cost of maintenance it may be re-
moved.

this ingredient are subjecting themselves
to prosecution and heavy penalty. prob
ably to the amount Of 81 10000, with i'm
prisonment included, under the federal
law. / think it would be advisable for
you to so notify the farmers who are pur-
chasing this prescription that they may
know the position in which they are plar-
ing themselves. The dairy commissioners
states that while he does not want to pros
ecute any one, if this thing continues he
will be compelled to take the matter up,
and as it has become public talk they had
better cease to use it. There is no law
prohibiting these parties from selling it
and the penalty is only for those who are
using 1t in their milk and butter"

The Direct Primary

The ISLANDER is in receipt of the
following letter from the chairman of
the direct primary committee of the
Civic Union, of Seattle, which is do
ing splendid work in behalf of po-
litical reform. A great step in ad-
vance will be taken when the legisla-
ture enadts direct primary law
Seattle. WASH, Feb. Is, 1905.
Mr.. o. II. CULVER,
EDITOR OF SAN JUAN ISLANDER.
DEAR SIR:-
We read with great deal of inter-
est your article on the Direct Primary
You and the other newspapers of the
state are giving this measure valuable
support. We hope that the Legislature
will pass the bill at this session. There
is no reason why they should not do SCI,
and there is every reason why they should.
It is good law, and everyone interested
in good politics and good government is
in favor Of it, and it does not seem possible
that the Legislature at this time would
take such u backward step as t. refuse to
pass the bill now before it. Our good
Stale of Washington should keep i'm the
procession along with other progressive
states like Minnesota, Wisconsin and
others. Our last county convention en-
dorsed this law, and we feel that all good
of the Roosevelt kind, who
place the good of the Darty and the
country above their own selfish aims and
designs, will work heartily for the pass
age of the bill. We want this law for this
State, and must have it.
Again thanking you for the great inter-
est you have taken, and hoping that you
can stir up all your people for the good
cause, We are,
Yours very truly,
CHRISTOPHER w. HORR.

TEACHERS HOLD
SECOND MEETING
SMALL ATTENDANCE OWING To
STORMY WEATHER
Time Taken UP With Discussion OF
Arithmetic Instruction Conclu.
sions Reached-Next Meeting to
be Held at Richardson.

The second meeting of the County
Teachers Association was held at
the Presbyterian church Friday even
ing, the 10th. There, was strong
gale the night before and during the
greater part of the day, which de
layed the steamer Islander so that
she did not reach here until evening.
Mrs. Buxton, county superintendent,
came over from East Sound, but
none of the Orcas island teachers at
tended. The Lopez island teachers
were here and they and the super
intendent and Friday Harbor teach
ers constituted the professional at
tendance. Notwithstanding the small
number present it proved to be an
enjoyable and profta meeting.
Miss Sweeney's pupils entertained
the teachers again with two delight
full numbers-a pickaninny song and
a "quack, quack," chorus.
AS nearly all those were present to
whom had been assigned the topics
in arithmetic, the time was taken up
in discussing that subject The teach
ers entered heartily into the discus
sions. Different solutions were plac-
ed upon the board. Opinions were
freely given, and the following con-
clusions seemed to be unanimous: In
written problems, given merely to
train the pupils in the fundamental
processes, only the work necessary
to get the answer should be put down;
but in problems given to develop
the reasoning power, the solution
should indicate the different steps in
the logical process. AS the process
of reasoning consists in passing from
one Judgment to another related one,
good solution, or analysis, must
consequently consist of series Of
equations arranged in logical order,
the equation being merely a judgment
briefly expressed by means of symbols.
In harmony with these conclusions
reached in the discussion of general
problems, Principal Joubert, of Fri
day Harbor, speaking on the subject
of percentage, showed that only the
900 percent method" would secure
to the pupil any logical training in
the study of percentage. The mo-
ment that cases, rules or formulas
were used the work degenerated into
mere mechanical operations.
The association voted to hold the
next meeting, at Richardson in seven
weeks, according with the resolutions
adopted at the previous meeting, and
then adjourned to enjoy refreshments
generously served by Mrs. briggs
and Mrs. Tiff
