An Ancient Syrian Legend

The Syrian bulbul (nightingale) has
the loveliest voice of all Gods crea
lures and the saddest song ever
heard. Shady coverts fringing the
Jordan still shelter the bird that
''sings darkling." In the Getty of
the King" Mrs. Lew Wallace, widow
of the distinguished soldier and au-
thor, says: ''There is a legend that
the bulbul sat in the olive tree in the
garden of Joseph of Arimathea, and
the night before the resurrection,
through the darkness, she poured out
her soul in sorrowing plant above
the still sleeper in the tomb wherein
was never man laid. When the first
Easter morning broke over the east
ern hills, the eggs in the nest of the
brooding bird sparkled with gold,
blue, orange and crimson, and so we
color eggs at Easter for a memorial
of the lone singer that sang by the
holy sepulcher 1000 years ago."

Back Here TO Reside

Hon. John L. Murray, late assist
ant state land commissioner, has re-
turned to his home here and is now
watering his garden with perspira-
tion while engaged in putting in a
crop" He has travelled extensively
in various parts of the state and has
made close study of land values and
business conditions and he says that
he is firmly convinced that home
seekers can get better values for
their money in the purchase of farm
lands in this county than in any other
desirable locality in the state. He
knows of no other section possessing
anything like the advantages offered
here where either town or country
property can be purchased SO reas-
onably. He says he is more than
ever pleased with Friday HORROR,
which he calls one of the prettiest
places in the state, and he IS glad to
return here to reside. He expects
his family to join him here in June,
except his oldest son, Otis, who will
graduate from the Olympia high
g School the last of May and will then
90 east of the mountains with sur
veying party.
MIR. Murray very strongly com
mends the earnest efforts which Gov
ernor Mead is making to prevent the
investment of $3.50, 900 of the states
nermanent school fund in Port Town
send water bonds, which are secured
only by the prospective revenues OF
the water system, which It IS said
can be constructed for a much smaller
sum than the amount Of the bond
issue. He regards the security Of
fered as both illegal and inadequate
and believes that if the supreme court
confirms the land commission's 8 agree
ment to take the bonds heavy loss
to the permanent school fund OF the
state will be the inevitable result.

Historic Easter Eggs

We read that in the time of Louis
XIV and Louis XIV, after the East
er mass, eggs were brought to the
king in baskets handsomely gilded
and were distributed by the monarch
himself to his household, courtiers
and servants being all included.
These eggs were colored and some of
them exquisitely decorated with
Scriptural subjects. For a long
time several eggs we're preserved in
the Versailles museum that had been
decorated by the hands of two of the
most celebrated artists of the last
century and had been given. as a
present to Victoria, the daughter of
Louis XIV.

STORES ORDERED
CLOSED SUNDAYS
LIQUOR DEALERS DEMAND GEN.
ERAL ENFORCEMENT OF LAW
John L. Murray Returns to Friday
HarbOr to Reside = He Strongly
Commends Gov. Mead's Position
on Port To wnsend Water Bonds.

Incensed by the order of the county
commissioners directing that the sa-
looms of Friday Harbor be closed on
Sunday the liquor dealers demanded
that the prosecuting attorney enforce
the Sunday law against all places of
business. The various merchants
throughout the county and also the
proprietor of the barber shop here
were accordingly given notice by the
county attorney to comply with the
law, and Friday Harbor merchants
did comply with it last Sunday, most
of them very willingly. Several of
the merchants have expressed them
selves to the editor as being strongly
in favor of the strict enforcement of
the law, as quoted in the ISLANDER
last week. They want to be free
from store attendance one day in the
week and say it is cup to" the officers
charged with the duty of enforcing
the law to do so without fear or favor,
not only here but at all other points
in the county. It would be obviously
unfair to enforce it here and allow
it to be disregarded at other places.
The law is more honored in the
breach than in the observance"
throughout the state ard there is no
general DEMAND for it's enforcement
here or elsewhere in this county.
Nevertheless it is the law and it i'll
becomes law abiding people to object
to it's enforcement, even though it has
been demanded by the liquor dealers
in a spirit of retaliation because Of
the commissioners order, which un-
quest tionably has the strong sup
port of the best moral senti-
ment of the county, that the
saloons be closed on Sundays. The
commissioners deserve the cordial
commendation of the people for the
stand they have taken in this respect
and if the officers upon whom the en-
forcement of the order devolves are
remiss in their duty they should be
called to strict account. They have
been advised by reputable citizens
that the order was violated by at
least one of the saloons last Sunday.
It should be an easy matter to deter
mine whether such is the case and if
it is the commissioners, upon prop
er showing of the facts, can doubt
less be relied upon to promptly can
eel the license of the place, in accord
ance with their resolution.

Easter In Japan and Russia

Easter In Japan and Russia
Every nation has it's Easter. In
far away Japan this celebration of the
rebirth of the year is called the feast
of the cherry blossoms and is attend
ed with much merrymaking and jolli-
fication. The blossoming cherry trees
are hung with innumerable paper
lanterns. The boats on the rivers at
night are similarly decorated, and
there are professions of singing girls,
actors, tradespeople and monks.
In Russia Easter is a festival cele-
brated much like our Christmas, with
gifts and rejoicings. Dolls and eggs
are bought for the little ones by every
householder, and the week immedi-
ately preceding is devoted to what
has been called the 'sgreat annual
Muscovite wash" Every housewife
makes an elaborate cleaning of her
dwelling, and the public baths are
crowded with people who deem clean
illness at this particular season a re-
ligious duty.
Valuable presents are inter-
changed. Formerly everyone had a
right to kiss everybody else, though
this curious custom now prevails only
in rural districts. Among the rich
gorgeous artificial eggs, sometimes
worth thousands of dollars apiece,
are given and received Such eggs
often contain costly jewels, and in
this shape the czar each year be-
slows upon his wife precious taken
of his imperial regard.

EASTER CUSTOMS
AND 0BSERYANCES
MEANING OF THE GREAT CHRIS.
TIAN FESTIVAL.
Program of Service to Be Held at
Presbyterian Church = Easter in
Russia and Japan-A Syrian Le-
gend-H1stOric Easter Eggs.

Tomorrow will be Easter, the great
annual festival of the Christian church
the world over, commemorating
Christs resurrection. 1t corresponds
to the 'pascha' or passover" of
the Jews and most nations still give
it this name under it's various forms.
Easter day is always the first Sunday
after the fourteenth day of the calen-
dar moon, which fourteenth day falls
on, or next after, the 21st of March. If
the 14th day falls on Sunday, Easter
day is the Sunday after.
From earliest times mankind has
celebrated joyous festival at this
season of the year. Pagan nations
made merry at the return of the sun
to the northland when the sleeping
earth awakened after the death of
winter and all nature had a new
birth. The rude Saxon tribes read
meanings in the blossoming flowers
and the fresh beginnings of natural
life. In the south the Romans made
feasts, the Persians regarded the oc-
casion with gifts of eggs, typify ing a
resurrection of the body, and, tax
ing all the festivals and their mean
ing, the though tful mind can readily
trace them, leading to the great
Christian festival teaching of the
eternal life of the soul and the resur-
rection of man from the dea?.

Mr.. Broder, who now owns the
creamery plant, has offered to sell it
to the present patrons of the cream
cry and some of the, leading dairymen
now have the question ofits purchase
under consideration. If they do not
buy, the removal of the plant not
only from its present location but
from the county is not improbable.
Its operation here has been very
great stimulus to the dairy industry

that some plan win be devised by
which it's removal will be avoided

SHORT CUT FOUND
TO PEACEFUL END
Terms oF Stipulation IN Hurley VS.
Abbot Agreed Upon,

The committee OF sixteen held an
| other meeting yesterday, as the re-
suit of which something pleasing can
| be reported. It is announced that the
committee has finally completed its
work, so fer as celebrating over the
matters at issue are concerned 1t
has reached an amicable understand
ing regarding the terms Of the stipu-
lzt.on the committee has struggled for
months to prepare, in which all parties
were to be treated fairly and cons.d-
erately and after the signing Of which
by the water users represented by the
committee, it can be presented to the
district court as an aid in facilitating
the settlement of the Hurley vs. Abbott
ct al suit for determining the water
priorities of all parties to the suit.
The terms of the stipulation cannot
be published yet. for the reason that
they have not yet been couched IN the
language of final report and that
report viii be so vOluminous and treat
of so many phases of the situation that
it cannot be safely g,riefed in advance.
The committee has studied every fea-
ture OF the situation and arrived at
q practically unanimous agreement
There were only one or two members
absent from yesterdays meeting and it
is understood that they are in harmony
with the rest of the committee.
A Subcommittee was appointed, con-
sisting OF Capt. George D. Christy. DR..
i. W. Wilbur and Dwight b. Heard.
10 draw up a formal report. embracing
the conclusions of the whole commit
tee, which report viii be the form Of
stipulation, and viii be submitted to
the whole committee at another meet
ing, to be held ct the cali Of the chair
OIL,
After the committee approves the stip-
ulation, it win be submitted to the
council and board OF governors Of the
Water Users association, then circu-
lated for the signatures of the water
users represented. When these are
secured, it viii be rendered to the
court.
The stipulation viii include a com
plete table, showing en- equitable DIS
tributiOn of the water in Salt river at
its various stages, this table being pre-
pared from numerous ether tables that
have been made at various times, and
for its preparation a committee was
appointed which viii be aided in its
work by Water Commissioner +. =.
Trott. This table will be a very slight
modification of the distribution sys-
TEN that has been in use for years. and
which, by the way, it is not intended
to disturb for the present Further
than this it is impossible to outline tn
nature Of the stipulation until il has
been put into its final verbiage, so
there will be no misuse of terms or
confusion of ideas. The members Of
the committee last night were i'm q
most happy frame of mind, confidently
believing that they had accomplished
that which many thought in the begin
ming was an impOssibnity.

or two every day we could tell you
many things of interest and impOr-
lance in regard to the eyes and eye
strain.
For instance, did you know that
about one-third of the gray matter of
the brain is concerned in the act of
vision-that even normal eyes require
nearly one-third of the nervous energy
10 perform their functions properly
that defective eyes usurp more than
their share of this nervous energy? Is
it any wonder then that the nerves
sometimes break down when the eyes
are defective?
Do you know proper glasses correct
the defect and so stop this wasted
