are of somewhat coarser texture and
not quite as good keepers.

Big Yield Of Oats

valley, harvested eighteen acres OF
Golden Fleece oats this fall which he
expects viii yield over 100 bushels TO
the acre and they weigh forty TO
forty-five pounds to the bnshel
Seven two horse wagon loads were
hauled from one acre and q quarter.
Three or four stalks grow from each
root. The grain is plump and solid
and has very light husk A sample
bundle may be seen at the lsLANDER

Golden Fleece yields much heavier
than the Banner and that on his own
place be sowed three pecks more to-
the acre Of the latter variety than
he did Of the former. He expects TO
sell all Of his surplus crop for seed

The assessment rolls Of the various
counties of the state as certified to
the state board Of equalization show
that this county still leads all the
counties Of western Washington in the
number Of sheep assessed, having
more than twice as many as What
com county, which is second on the
list of the Sound counties. Whatcom,
however, has several times as many
horses, cattle and hogs as San Juan.
The returns show that there has been
a great reduction in the number OF
sheep assessed in some of the coun-
ties east of the mountains, especially
Yakima.

worthy efforts to acquire q close per-
sonal knowledge of the needs OF the
various parts of the state. AS briefly
noted in the ISLANDER last week they
arrived her6 just as the paper was
going to press. No official notice of
their coming had been received and
few were advised that they were ex-
pected. There was time, however,
after receipt of a private message
from Seattle, to decorate the bust
ness part Of the town quite prettily
with flags and bunting and this was
done. They were expected on the Lyd-
la Thompson and the message from
Seattle requested that they be met at
Argyle and taken for a drive out to
the border Of the valley. Instead Of
coming that way, however, they came
over from Port Townsend on the rev.
enue cutter Arcata.
After meeting quite number Of
the local business and professional
men and others they expressed a de-
sire to see little of the country and
were taken for a short drive out to
the valley. Both were well pleased
with the trip and asked many ques-
tions as to the value of lands, improve
ments, crops etc. Senator Ankeny
is himself one of the largest landown-
ers and most extensive farmers and
stockraisers in the state. He is
pioneer of the northwest, having
crossed the plains from Missouri when
a little boy, before the Indian war Of
1855. He visited this county many
years ago an. a hunting trip, before
the termination Of the joint military
occupancy. Senator Piles has for
many years been one Of the leading
lawyers of the state. He is a broth
er-in-law Of Judge John r. Winn, now
of juneau, Alaska, who was superior
Judge of this county when it was in
the same judicial district with What
com, and is well known to many of
our citizens.
Both senators expressed a desire
to serve the interests Of the people Of
the county in every possible way and
said they would gladly take up with
the war department the matter OF
opening to entry and settlement the
military reservations Of the county,
or such of them as the department
does not contemplate utilizing at some
future time for military purposes.
There are about 1900 acres in the
various reserves, which were set
apart over thirty years ago, and the
legislature has already passed q me-
mortal to Congress asking that all Of
them except the Cattle point reserve
be opened to settlement.
From here the senator's we're taken
by the u. S. revenue launch Guard
to Roche Harbor and East Sound and
thence to Anacortes.

Glowing Report of Chamber of Conn
merce Excursion to This County
and of Excurston1sts' visit to the
San Juan Valley.

The ISLANDER would be glad togive
space if it could to the complete re-
ports of all the Bellingham papers of
the recent Chamber of Commerce ex-
cursion from that city to this county,
but that being out Of the question we
quote most from the Reveille's ac-
count of the trip, which was the most
extended and comprehensive. Pleas
ant mention was made of the stops at
Olga, East Sound and Lopez, which
were necessarily brief, most atten-
tion being paid to the visit to this
island where the party remained
about three hours and opportunity
was afforded to most Of the excur-
sionists to visit the San Juan valley.
OF this portion of the trip the Rev
ellie says:
"The Friday Harbor people, with
foresight which their guests appre-
eiated and warmly commended, had
provided a number of carriages and
buggies with which to convey the
Whatcom county aggregation around
on tour of the island. With each rig
in charge of some well posted resident
of the town, drive of several miles
was made over the bill behind the
town and skirting the productive val
ley below. The drive was made over
a piece of very pretty and well con-
structed gravel road and every MEM
Der Of the party enjoyed to the fullest
this feature of the excursion.
'sThat valley was certainly revela
tion-a veritable vale of Cashmere, as
fertile as any in the west, its people
showing every evidence Of happiness
and prosperity. There was a here
to-stay air about everything; and
looking about them, many Of the visit
ors declared they could easily see why
this is so. The fruits are now practi-
cally all ripe, and pretty sight was
afforded by the orchards lying on the
outskirts of the valley. Well kept
trees heavily laden with the fruit for
which San Juan county is noted; neat
yards and pretty, comfortable resi-
dences characterized the uplands.
And the valley-every appearance of
being as productive as lies out OF
doors. The big farms of 100 to 200
acres in area, [the reporter might
have said, and truthfully, 100 to 700
acres in area, have just yielded a
bumper crop of grain, largely oats,
and resemble in general aspect the
big farms OF the Nooksack valley or
the Samish fats. Most Of the crops
are now in the barns. By the way,
there is nothing small about the barns
themselves, some Of them thousands
Of feet in area. And the valley view
ed was only one; there are others Just
like it on the island.

NORTH BEACH LANDS.
Lands in jefferson County TO be
Opened for Settlement.

A tract of about $4,000 acres six miles
north OF the Quiniault Indian reservation
on the west line of jefferson county, will
be opened to settlement by the govern
ment Thursday July 10. The Seattle
Unite States land office received word
to that effect Monday from the depart
ment of the interior, and is now prepar-
ing statements showing the land divl-
sions.
The government has just completed the
survey of the tract. The plats will be
filed at o'clock on the morning of July
IL, and the lands described therein will
be subject to applications Immediately
thereafter.
The official description OF the lands
shows them to be in township Is north
range IL west, and north range Ii west.
From all that can be ascertained the
tract is a valuable one, and one that
many have long desired Uncle Sam would
open for settlement.
