ROCHE HARBOR

Broder u Mead Cannery Business to
Be Incorporated and Enlarged
Salmon Cannery to Be Built and
Operated This Season.

1t has long been known in this coun-
ty that the Tacoma and Roche Har-
Dor Lime Company has for several
years been preparing to engage in
the manufacture of cement at Roche
Harbor and that with this end in
view it has had exhaustive analyses
made of clays and lime rock and has.
thoroughly investigated the process
OF manufacture. A press dispatch
from Bellingham under date of Feb.
Fl quotes Hon. John S. McMillin,
president of the lime company, as
saying that the cement works will be
built and that they will have a daily
capacity of 2,40O barrels. While it
is true that the announcement has
some foundation in fact, it is not prob
able that Mr.. McMillin. wished it to
be understood that work will be i'm
mediately commenced. The COM
pany has pursued it's Investigations
very quietly and is not yet ready to
make any definite announcement be-
yond the fact that it has practically
decided to establish a first-class
plant for cement manufacture as soon
as it's plans can be perfected and all
necessary preliminaries arranged.

Our Weather.

Chas Cant, the versatile editor
of the Anacortes American, is some
thing of a poet as well as writer OF
plain prose, to which most editors
must confine themselves in express
ing their ideas. In last weeks issue
of the American Mr.. Cant has q
number of poetical stanzas on "Our
Weather" from which the following
are taken:
There is sunshine in the forests, sum
shine on the hills,
The curling smoke is rising from the
factories and mills,
And the skies are blue above us while
the sea is blue below,
And we're one extended garden where
the sunshine loves to glow.
You may brag of California where the
sunshine does abound,
But no minute is it in it with the sun
on Puget Sound;
For we've got the only climate that
every one can prize,
This side Of sunny Italy-this side OF
paradise.
We're a land Of milk and honey with
surplus lot of sun,
with contentment by the bushel and
with pleasure by the ton;
Grandest land existing where the bright
est sun is found,
And the world can never equal all the
things of Puget Sound.

The Anacortes American notes ed
itorially that some of the business men
there "do not take kindly to the
proposition of securing boat for the
island run; perhaps it may be thought
that our people would go to Friday
Harbor to trade" Really, now,
they might find it profitable to do so.
We have well stocked stores, and
goods are sold here at very reason
able prices. Our merchants are
square" and customers get sixteen
ounces in every pound and thirty-six
inches in every yard.

Effort to Take it to U. S. Circuit Courr
OF Appeals.

Col. Z. J. Edwards Of Globe. attor-
ney for lack Booth, who is under SER
tence to be hanged on August 18th
for the murder Of Wiley Perry, near
Gisela, ella county, nearly a year ago.
has been in town for the last two days
endeavoring to secure a reprieve to
enable him to take the case on ap-
peal from the territorial supreme court
to the United States circuit court of
appeals. This is perhaps the move by
which after the supreme court affirm
| ed the judgment of the court of ella
county, Col. Edwards said the pros
ecution would be surprised. Governor
! Kibbey has not announced what ac
ton he will take on the application but
Col Edwards expresses hope of yet
saving his client.
In the event the reprieve is granted
one of the grounds of appeal will be
! the same as one of the grounds on
which the case was brought up from
! the district court to the supreme court.
That was that there was an error in
| denying Booth ten peremptory chal-
| lenges as the statutes allow all per-
sons charged with a crime the pun
ishment for which may be death.
| Booth and his brother John Booth,
were indicted together and tried to-
gether. 1t was cOntended by the de-
Tense that each should be allowed ten
IperemptOry challenges. The territory
objected on the ground that though
there were two defendants there was
only one trial. This view was sus-
tanned by the supreme court.
In that trial John Booth was ac-
quilted. He was afterward indicted
and tried twice for the murder of a
Mexican boy who was killed with
young Perry. In both cases there was
failure to agree.
1t will probably be urged in the APP
plicatiOn for an appeal that Booth
cannot obtain a fair trial. In that
there will be a resemblance between
this case and that of Caleb Powers
whose case under section 641 of the
revised statutes Of the United States
was taken out of the courts of Ken
lucky into tho federal court.
About thirteen years ago Jeff VIII
son. "A colored soldier. was in the

and Mrs. Christy, he caught two
hundred fish in a very short space of
time and has good affiravits to prove
it. He proposes to fish no more gainst
the men named until they go away
somewhere and get a reputation and
have the papers to show for it. He
says he only saw Jake Miller once
and that was on a street car. Every
body else had their backs turned to-
ward him and he imagined Jake had
given way to an Incorporate indul-
gence in his old time weakness for
eating limburger cheese.
He failed to sec Mr.. Eldred at all
but one day in the Hollenbeck hotel
he was introduced to a man who was
engaged i'm hog raising and who was
telling some pretty big stories. Mr.
Norton ever anxious to keep up the
reputation of his home country and
his friend Hi Eldred, said he didn't
know anything about raising hogs but
he knew a man here who could skin
him a mile. The stranger asked him
what kind of hogs they were. Mr..
Norton replied that he didn't know but
he supposed they were lady hogs for
Hi in Dragging about them once said
they had made him so much money
he took his hat off to them every time
be went into the field. And he knew
Mr.. Eldred was one of the most polite
people in the world when in the pres
ence of the feminine sex.
During his stay in Yuma Mr.. Nor
ton visited the prison, saw Jerry Mil
lay, c. II. lifting and other friends.
He said everybody about the works
seemed to be happy except the boys
in striped clothes and even they did
not seem to be particularly worried.
on Friday he took a drive through a
large part of the irrigated section
watered by the Farmers canal. The
canal is somewhat filled up with silt
but plenty of water is being supplied
by pumping and the farmers all seem
to be happy and prosperous. They
have good land and are looking for
ward TO an era of business success.
When MIR. Norton passed through
the Salton sea on Thursday the wat
er in the deepest place was about six
inches over the rails. The shoohy was
not yet finished but he thinks ii prob
ably is by this time.
As an after thought MIR. Norton said
he met Pap Webster down at the
beach one day and that Mr.. Webster
almost precipitated riot by trying to
give a lady some advice about fishing.

He was somewhat 10th to come in
on the same train with DR.. Norton,
fearing unkind criticisms from his
friends. for he says that having gone
away with an NJ. d. and having re-
turned with V. S. his friends will
be cast into doubt as to whether he
had kidney complaint or mule collie
and he is not certain himself whether
he is a man or a jackass. But if the
latter, he thinks DR.. Norton was not
over particular about his travelling
companion.
Mr.. Norton. that is J. R, naturally
asked about the fish records. He said
he had not done much fishing this
year and did not propose to. His only
ambition had been to beat Hi Eldred
and Jake Miller. He said that two
years ago, in the presence of Captain

On the Wrong Track

The way to get rid of any evil is
The trusts can be destroyed, not by
Sherman laws and repressive legisla-
ton OF that kind, but by enacting leg
islation that will prevent rebates, tar
if CRAFTS and special privileges. The
way to destroy the lobby is not by en-
acting laws specifically making it a
crime or driving lobbyists from the
state houses and the national capital,
but by electing men to Office whom the
lobbyists know to be of such standing
use to approach them. If you did not
have criminal legislators you would
have no criminal lobby. This
universal denunciation of lobbyists
that the plutocratic papers have been
indulging in of late, will produce no
effect at all and that is the reason that
they engage in it. If one half the
space was given W ueHouHcinS EIlLul-
nal legislators, the work would soon
end in success and we would know the
lobbyist no more forever Let reform
papers everywhere turn their attention
away from the lobbyists and denounce
the criminal members of legislatures.
They are the men to attack. Get on
the right tracks. With honest men in
the legislatures and in congress there
would be no lobbyists.

A Return to Torture

The independent has often called at
tention to the sweatbox methods Of
the police in the cities. and the cru
elites and tortures they employ in at
tempting to force suspected persons to
confess that they are guilty. There is
mo better evidence of degeneracy than
the permitting by judges of these I'M
constitutional methods. The Judge
that permits it is more vile than the
brutal police under whose supervision
these crueltIes are carried out. The
men who laid the foundations of this
government supposed that they had
abolished torture. They did abolish
it until the day of the keen and crimi-
nal lawyer arrived, who after prac-
ticing his deviltries in the interest
OF the trusts and corporations for a
while is elevated to the bench and
then we call him Judge" while the
plutocratic press endeavors to impress
upon the minds of the people that the
Judge is infallible. The San Fran
cisco police have been engaged in
their usual method of torturing. The
report of their work is as follows:

suit of the torture to which she was
subjected Mrs. Rosa Torturici, wife of

Why Harlan Was Defeated

The result of the municipal election
in Chicago has not caused any surprise
among populists. When we predicted
four weeks ago that Judge Dunno
would undoubtedly defeat John M.
Harlan on a simple platform demand
ing immediate public ownership of
public utilities in the city, we met just
what the people did last Tuesday.
In the first place the republicans
made mistake made an ass of them
selves by evading the paramount issue
and making up faces at Alderman
Kenna 1t seems that when republi-
cans were short of material in reply
to their opponent, Mr.. Kenna was
made target for attack and criticism.
The result of this personal attack on
Kenna plainly shows that Kenna has
largest majorities ever given an alder
man in Chicago. The result further
CDOWS tAdI Idu III llllu-
ence whatever. Their criticism and
personal attacks did not in any way
take single vote from Kenna.
When the question of honesty is
brought before the people in munic-
ipal contest, they know that republi-
cans will not in any way give them
immediate municipal ownership; they
also know that the republican party
under the direct control and leadership
OF corporations will in nine times out
Of ten dance to the music of the ring
and lobby.
While there are many city republi-
cans who feel sore politically over
the result of the municipal contest, we
venture to say that they see the mis-
take made in attempting to make Al
derman Kenna the issue. This class
of republicans are naturally simple
and lacking in the mental makeup
Judge Dunne's election is another
victory for municipal ownership
indication that populism is vindicated.
In every municipal contest public own
ership of public utilities has received
considerable attention, and it is ap-
parent. that the people, will in the near
future rise up and drive the corpora
ton classes out of the political arena.
The attempt to evade the paramount
issue and make personalities side

of his valuable space in attempting to
show why the municipal ownership
ticket was defeated The principal
point made by the World was to the
effect that the honest corporations
in the Mound City had been cheated
and swindled by boodlers and grafters
who are now serving their time in the
Missouri penitentiary. The editorial
further states that under municipal
ownership. there would be more OPP
portunity for the henchman, the graft
err and the boodler.
Here is the brilliant republican logic
told in few words which shows the
inability of republican editors and Of
ficeseekers to meet the issue. Fur
thermore it not only shows the inabil-
ity to discuss the subject, but it plain
ly shows that the republican editors
are a vain lot of ignoramuses defend
ing and protecting the system that
breeds grafters, boodlers and bench
men. When the World declared that
under municipal ownership there
would be more opportunity for the
CRATER, he simply pulled his breeches
down to demonstrate the fact that he
had undoubtedly been thinking of an
entirely new subject. Any sane man
knows that under municipal ownership
there would be no opportunity for the
CRATER or the henchman!
Only in cities where private inter-
ests own and manipulate the city af-
fairs breeds the CRATER and the bench
man. No better illustration of this
fact can be found than the one found
| in st. Louis, Philadelphia and other
cities
When the editor of the World de-
clared that the voters in st. Louis did
their duty in voting against the mu-
nicipal ownership ticket he put him
self in line with the corruptionists,
grafters and political demagogues. He
showed that the Mound City needed
no reform and begged other cities to
follow st. Louis-breeding graft, brib-
cry and anarchy-making it criminal
for people to speak against the dia-
,bolical system which is protected by

the arm OF so-called republican jour
nalists. It must have been taxing for
the editor of the World to work all day
in attempting to prepare material
against municipal ownership and found
nothing but the vote in ST. Louis.
