The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1905-02-04

c. A. Anderson, one of the pioneer
settlers and staunch Republicans of
Lopez island, refused an offer of
S., 500 for his farm few days ago.
1t speaks well for the contentment
of our people that few of the own
ers of desirably located and produc-
tive places can be induced by tempt
ing offers to sell. We want more
people but it must be admitted that
we must look for most,of them in the
ranks of those who are willing to do
a good deal of pioneer work to es-
tablish homes for themselves and
their children. The county will be
able to comfortably support several
times its present population when its
now unproductive areas are brought
under cultivation, when the wooded
uplands now unused are devoted to
sheep raising, and when intensive
farming is more generally followed.

The loss sustained by l.. G.. Rudow
through the burning of his store at
East Sound Jan. 3 was paid this week
by the Aetna Insurance Company,
through it's local agent, 0. H. Cul-
yer. No company in the world is
more prompt in the settlement of
losses or more liberal in the treat
ment of policy holders. Dr. Harri-
sons loss on the building was paid in
Seattle. Arrangements have already
been made for erecting a new build
ing, though not on the same site.
The new store will be diagonally
across the road from the site of the
old one, on the corner occupied by
one of the Harrison cottages, which
will be moved.

SKAGIT WANTS
A JUDGE ALONE
ASKS TO BE MADE A SINGLE JU-
DICTAL DISTRICT
If This Is Done San Juan County
Should be Attached to Whatcom
for judicial Purposes and An Ex-
ira Judge Allowed.

Senator Hammer, of Skagit county,
has introduced bill to make that
county judicial district by Itself.
If that is done it will sever the only
political relation existing between this
county and Skagit and will make it
necessary to attach San Juan to
some other judicial district. No
Judge has ever complained that the
amount of business coming before him
from this county has added material
ly to his labors. A jury trial in the
superior court is rare in this county.
The Judge has little to do here besides
hearing probate matters and signing
the routine orders arising in such
cases The Judge comes here about
ten times in the course of year and
remains over one night only. These
infrequent trips are more of a rec
reation than burden. If, howe, err,
the volume of judicial business in
Skagit county has become so great
that the Judge cannot consistently
spare the little time required to at
tend to San Juan business, the prob
ability is that the pressure is consid-
erably greater in Whatcom county,
including, as it does, the city of Bel
lingham, with large corporate inter-
ests, and that the need of a second
Judge there is at least as great as the
need of one in Skagit county alone.
Why not, therefore, combine What
com and San Juan in one judicial dis
trict, under two judges, and let
Skagit ego it alone" 1t would be
very unjust to San Juan to attach it
to the Jefferson-Clallam- Island dis
trict. 1t is difficult enough to reach
Anacortes or Mt. Vernon with
only tri-weekly boat service be-
tween the two counties, but the an
noyance would be infinitely greater
if it were necessary to 60 to Coupe
vile, Port Townsend or Port Ange-
les to "get the ear of the court"
With two daily steamers and long
distance telephone between here and
Bellingham, the legal business of this
county would be facilitated by attach
ing it to Whatcom for judicial pur-
poses.

The ISLANDER was in error last
week in stating that the late Mrs.
Chas. Brooks had been a resident of
San Juan island since 1859. It's in
formation was obtained from an old
pioneer who was mistaken in his
recollection. She came here with
her husband, Richard Delaney, and
family in 1866. Mr. Delaney was a
corporal in the regular army, having
served in New York, where he was
married, and at Fort Colville, The
Dalles and Fort Vancouver in this
state. He was not a member of
Capt. Pickett's company, which es-
tablished For San Juan in 1859.

The official license shall provide that
the president of the United States in
time of war or public peril may close
any wireless station or authorize its
use by the government.
The president is given power to
establish regula tions which shall pre-
vent interference between the naval

This requirement is to be observed

To Amend Fisheries Law

AS result of the fisheries confer
ence of the legislative committees of
Washington and Oregon a joint re-
port has been agreed upon which
recommends as follows:
That both states fix the beginning
of the spring close season on March
Is instead of March 1, as at present,
and that the season end April Is.
That the open season in the fall be
extended from August Is to August
20.
That Washington abolish the law
providing for individual licenses of 81
from each fisherman.
That Washington fix the seinlng
license at a figure as near as possible
to that now prevailing in Oregon.
That both states fix the license on
cold storage plants at rate approx
imately 80 cents per net ton.
That both states fix the cannery
licenses at 2 cents per case. That
the gill net license be raised in both
states from 50. 80 to S..
That time for the expiration of
such licenses be fixed March 81, re-
gardless of the time of issuance.
The cannery and cold storage IL
cense schedule is practically doub-
ling of the license fee now existing in
Washington and raising of one
third on the licenses in Oregon.

Wireless Regulation

A wireless telegraph bill in which
the administration views have been
embodied has been drafted by the
commissioner of navigation assisted
by Capt. Seabury, of the navy, and
others. The bill is to be revised fur

no person or corporation shall use
any apparatus for wireless tele-
graphy in this country or upon any
vessel except he be licensed by the
secretary of commerce and labor.

The proprietors of the San Juan
Creamery say that quite number
of their patrons are inclined to hold
their cream too long and that it
comes to the creamery in such con-
dition as to render the manufacture
of frst-class butter from it out of the
question. This operates against
patrons who are as careful as posi-
BILE, for they are sure to suffer from
the reduced price necessarily real
lied from the sale of an inferior pro-
duct, as it is of course impracticable
to churn the fresh cream and the
stale cream sep arately.
