Jos. Bellview, who has had long ex-
perience in lime burning in this coun-
.ty, has been engaged by the Pacific
Coast Lime Company to take charge
of the big "Gibson kiln in Seattle,
said to be the largest lime kiln in the
United States and the only one using
oil for fuel. He expects to go to Sc
attle about the first of next week
with the first shipment of lime rock
from the Walters & Soderberg prop
erty on the west shore of Orcas is
land. The shipment of rock has been
DELAYED on account of the unexpected
necessity of getting donkey engine
to operate the cars on the tramway.
It was expected that they would run
by gravity but the grade is not suffi-
cient.

Orcas Pears for New York

George w. Meyer, of Orcas, one of
the comparatively few men in the
county who have made fruit raising
really profitable, lately sold to Ryan
& Newton, of Seattle, a carload of
pears which are now enroute to New
York City, where they are to be sold
at auction. It is the largest lot of
pears raised by one grower ever sold
in the county and the first instance
of the shipment of a carload from the
county to the east. It would be in
teresting to know how much the fruit
sells for in New York and the cost of
transportation. Notwithstanding the
perishabllity of pears as compared
with apples and the much smaller de-
mand Mr.. Meyer has found them a
more profitable crop than thu "king
of fruits" He packs only the choic-
est and has not yet experienced any
difficulty in marketing his product.
A few years ago he had fine prune
orchard where most of his pear or
chard now stands. Much surprise
was expressed at the time that he
did not set out winter apple trees in
stead of pears

Miss Sweeney, county superintend-
ent of schools, will endeavor to secure
a uniform system of monthly reports
of pupils standing in all the schools
of the county, and with. that end in
view she has adopted the system in
use in the Friday Harbor schools and
has had quantity of cards printed
which will be supplied to the various
districts without cost. The cards
provide for percentage reports of
pupils standing in all the studies of
eight grades for nine school months
and for the signature of parent or
guardian each month, thus affording
no excuse for such parent or guar
dian to say that he or she does not
know how the child is getting along
in school. If written examinations
covering each months work are re-
quired, as they should be, the infor-
nation which the report cards are
intended to give is easily obtainable.
The system has been highly satisfac-
tory here. It is stimulus to worthy
pupils and enables parents to see
each mouth whether or not their chill
dren are doing creditable work.

SALMON SEASON
is ABOUT CLOSED
Figures of One Traps Catch AS Com
pared With the s'Big Rum of Four
Years Ago-Little known of Sal
mon Habits.

Another salmon season has about
ended and the men who are most ex-
tensively interested in the industry
and may reasonably be supposed to
know most about it do not pretend to
be any wiser than they were before
the annual run began as to the habits
or habitat of the great food fish of
the Pacific coast. Said S. Il. Gross,
the well known trap man, to the ed
itor of the ISLANDER few days ago:
"You know as much about salmon as
I do Che doesn t, though, as a matter
of fact) and I know as much as you
do. There are many things about
the fish and their habits that none of
US. know. We know little about
"whence they come or whittier they
goest, what they feed upon or why
the annual "runs" of the various spe-
cies vary so enormously in size. Take
our trap, for instance (the Shuitz &
Gross trap at Brann's bay). Four
years ago we caught III, 900 sock
eyes. This year we caught 98, 900,
but we caught $4,000 more in July
this year than we did in July 1901.
This year we caught only "a, 900
humpbacks while two wears ago we
caught 277 ,0O0 Some schools went
past all the San Juan traps this year
and the latest run ever known, which
found it's way into the Fraser river
after the Canadian season had closed,
didn't touch the San Juan banks at
all. I don't know why, you don't
and nobody does. It is my theory
that they simply went astray, as
some people do, and got lost"

Is IT INSANITY
OR ADULTERY !?
STRANGE CASE AFFECTING
PROMINENT LOPEZ PEOPLE
p. ]. Whitman, Accused of Adultery
With Mrs. e.. II. Wetherby, Has
Mr.. Wetherby Arrested on Conn
plaint Charging Insanity.

A most unfortunate and fortunately
most unusual complication affecting
the moral character of persons hith-
erto highly respected in their home
community, has been made public
through the arrest few days ago of
G. R. Wetherby, teacher of the Lo-
pee school, upon a complaint sworn
to by P. I. Whitman, the Lopez mer-
chant, alleging that he is insane and
that he has threatened to kill the
complainant. Mr.. Wetherby charges
Mr.. Whitman with having been un-
duly intimate with Mrs. Wetherby
and she is said to have confessed"
to Mrs. Whitman, in Mr.. Wetherby's
presence, that the charge is true.
Subsequent to this alleged confession
the threat of killing, complained of
by Mr.. Whitman, if said to have been
made, in consequence of which Mr..
Whitman, fearing that his life was in
danger, absented himself from Lopez
for several weeks and about the time
of his departure Mrs. Wetherby went
to her mothers home, near Puyallup,
where she still is. Mr. Wetherby de-
nies having threatened to kill Mr..
Whitman but admits having said to
him that he "would be just fed" in
doing so. Mr. Whitman, who is a
member of the Methodist church and
has borne an enviable reputation for
integrity and uprightness during his
residence in the county, denies abso-
lutely that he has had any improper
relations whatever with Mrs. Wether-
by and expresses the belief that Mr..
Wetherby is of unsound mind and that
for some strange reason, or lack OF
reason, he has influenced his wife,
through duress or fear, to "confess"
to criminal relations that have never
existed and thus brand herself an
adulteress. It seems hardly conce:v-
able that any woman in her right
mind would make such admissions if
untrue. If they are true, which Mr..
Whitman's many friends are natur~
ally 10th to believe, it will be general
ly admitted that Mr.. Wetherbys
provocation for whatever he may
have said was strong. II untrue it
may develop that it is Mrs. Wether-
by's miad rather than his that is un-
balanced and hence that Mr.. Whit
man, or the law, has the wrong pig
by the ear.
When the matter was called up be-
fore Court Commissioner Blair, Mr..
Wetherby, through his attorney, Mr..
Irwin. with whom w. r. Garrett IS
now associated in the case, called for
a jury trial, which can only be had in
the superior court. In the meantime
Mr.. Wetherby is in the custody of the
sheriff, at the Bay View hotel, and
the Lopez school is without teacher,
although the school directors and
patrons are very desirous for Mr..
Wetherby's return and are much in
censed over the delay in giving him
a hearing. A jury trial having been
asked for the ISLANDER refrains from
indicating what purports to be the
evidence on either side. It's strange
case and the outcome is awaited with
much interest by the many friends OF
all the parties concerned.

Attorney General Atkinson has rem
dered two opinions on legal questions
of interest to fish packers and fisher
men. In the first he holds that fish
buyers from British Columbia must
pay the regular state license OF 80
cents per ton for all fish handled by
Them, or subject themselves to the
usual panalties for non compliance.
In the other he holds that the fish
commissioner has the right to with
hold licenses from salmon fishermen
and oyster growers who perslstently
refuse to obey the laws for the pro-
lection Of fish and oysters.

STOCK PETITION
STILL"LAID OVER
Matter Not Considered By Commits
sfoners at Their Recent Session.
Stock May Now Be Taken Up I'm
der the New Estray Law.

The county commissioners seem to
have "sidestepped' the question of
the enforcement of the new stock law
under which stock may be prohibited
from running, at large in certain por-
tions of any county separated from
other portions by natural barriers,
provided that three-fourths of the
lands sought to be included in the
prohibited area are under fence A
petition for the enforcement of the
law on San Juan island, signed by
many of the most extensive farmers
OF the county, was presented to the
commissioners at their July session
and was laid over" until the October
meeting for the stated reason that
the board wished to investigate the
question of the fenced area, having no
report from the county assessor to
guide them, as contemplated by the
law. At the October meeting, how
ever, the matter was not brought up,
although the law says that when such
petition is filed the commissioners
"sIaH proceed to ascertain" whether
three-fourth of the lands within the
described area are under fence The
county assessors could not give the
desired information this year and as
Commissioner Sandwith would not
certify that in his opinion the requir-
ed area is fenced the other commits
sioners did not feel like taking any
action in the matter. In the mean
time any stock running at large that
proves to be an annoyance to farmers
or others may be taken up under the
provisions of the new estray law.

DETHRONlNG OF ALCOHOL.
Being Brought About by the Mod
ern Spirit of Scientific
Research.

Another potent factor in the dethron-
ing of alcohol has been the spirit OF
scientific research OF recent years, says
an Open Letter, in Century. In the
great laboratories scientists have been
carefully studying the effects OF alco-
holic liquors upon the various organs
Of the body. and, although they differ in
their conclusions upon some points. the
result is that those physicians who have
most closely followed these invesuga-
tions have, almost or entirely, abjured
alcoholics as a necessary part Of their
therapeutic outfit. These elaborate
studies Of alcohol have convinced many
that the nourishing and strengthening
properties formerly ascribed to alcohol
los existed only In the imagination, and
belong to the errors OF an age which had
no facilities for accurate observation
The food qualities of the grains and
fruits 1t is now believed by many au-
thorities, are destroyed In the process Of
making alcoholic drinks. Even the
stimulating qualities ascribed to alcohol
are denied by many, who class 1t among
the narcotics because Of its depressant
effect.

THE JEWISH PHYSICIAN.
in History Who Belonged to
That Race.

An interesting survey of Jews as
members of our profession is to be OBJ
tanned from a little work entitled
"Judische Aerzte und ihr Einfuss auf
Gas Judentum," which, says the Med
ical Record, has been issued by Dr.
Simon Scherbel. One OF the most
prominent of the earlier personages
mentioned is Chasdai, who became a
minister under the Calf Abdul-Rah-
man ILL.,, and did much to establish
the position of the Jews among the
Moslems in Spain during the tenth CEN
tury, as well as TO foster the study of
the Talmud In that country. Jehuda
Halevi. who lived 100 years later. was
busy physician who was also the
author of distinguished practical and
philosophical works. The great
Malmonides Of Cordova Is included
among the list of physicians by the
author, who says that he created what
is almost q new Talmud. and alleges
that Richard Occur de Leon wished 20
make him his court physician. In spite
OF the edicts Of Popes Eugenius, Mich
olas and Calixtus that Christians
should not employ Jewish physicians,
In Spain many years before they were
practically the only practitioners OF
medicine. Somewhat later Pope Alex
ander vi. had as personal physician a
Jew. Bonet de Lates. who subsequently
became attached TO the court Of Louis
X. The edict against Jewish physi.
clans was finally raised by Sixtus v,
largely at the instigaton Of two ther
celebrated physicians. David de Pomi'
and Ella Montalto. In the latter part
OF the eighteenth century Mepdels'
sohn's efforts in behalf Of his com
PATRIOTS we're ably seconded by hi
friend. the physician Marcus Herr. wht
contributed much toward the elevation
of the Jews In Germany. In still
more recent time Ascher. Steinheim
Erter and Johann Jacoby have beer
prominent, and the author closes hi
enumeration with the widely knowr
names of Strassmann, Neumann
| Baginsky and Senator.
