ANOTHER PIONEER
GONE TO HIS REST
DANIEL w. OAKES PASSES AWAY
AT THE AGE OF74
lie was One of the Little Band of
Pioneer Settlers Who First Hotsted
the American Flag on San Juan
Island July 1, 1859.

Another pioneer has gone to that
undiscovered country from whose
bourne no traveller returns. Daniel
Wyman Oakes died at his home near
the south end of San Juan island Sun
day afternoon, June IL, aged "a
years. He had been confined to his
bed about two weeks. In March he
met with quite a severe accident by
being thrown from his. wagon and
had not been very well since then.
The immediate cause of his death
was dropsy.
Mr.. Oakes was born in Maine,
March 16, 1881. Like many of the
hardy and venturesome youth of the
New England coast he went to sea
when quite young, and came to this
coast in a vessel of the New Bedford
whaling fleet in which he made voy-
age to the Arctic ocean. On his re-
turn from the north he spent some
time in California and joined the
great rush of gold seekers from there
to the Fraser river in 1858. Coming
down the river in the spring of the
following year in a canoe which he
had bought he met Chas. Mckay
near where the city of New West
Minister now stands and together
they came down to Victoria. Hear
ing from some hunters and trappers
there about San Juan, or Bellevue
island, as it was then called, they
came over here, landing near the
south end of the island in June, There
were then about dozen American
settlers on the island and consider
able uneasiness was manifested
among them about the Indians and
the exactions of representatives of
the Hudson Bay Company.
On the 1st day Of July the little
band of settlers, Of whom Chas. Nc
Kay is now the sole survivor on the
island, hoisted the American flag,
which attracted the attention a few
days later of officers of the old sloop
of war Massachusetts,. Some of them
went ashore to ascertain who had
hoisted the flag and why and the set
tiers took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to petition for the protection
of troops. This led to the establish
ment short time afterward of Fort
San Juan, under the command OF
Capt. Geo. E. Pickett.
Mr.. Oakes lived for quite number
Of years on what is now the Peterson
farm, moving from there to the place
near the south end of the, island
where he died. Though always tax
ing an active interest in public af-
fairs the only Office he ever held was
that of justice Of the peace, in which
capacity he served for many years.
He had large family, of whom his
wife and three sons and three daugh-
ters are now living. The funeral
service, conducted by Rev. W. J.
Sharp, was held Tuesday afternoon
at the valley Presbyterian church.

JNO. S. M'MILLIN
Is APPOINTED
A MEMBER OF THE STATE Rail-
WAY COMMISSION
The Governor, Hon. HI. A. Fafrchild,
Member of the Commission. and
E. w. Purdy, of Bell1ngham, visit
Roche Harbor and Friday Harbor.

A distinguished honor has come
unsolicited to the foremost Republi-
can of this county, Hon. John S. Nc
Millin, whose appointment as men,
Der OF the state railway commission
was announced by Governor Mead.
Wednesday. The position was not
only not sought by Mr.. McMillin but
was not desired by him and it was
only his warm personal friendship for
the governor that finally persuaded
him to yield to his wishes and make
the personal sacrifice which his ac-
ceptance of the place necessarily in
wolves.
The appointment is regarded by
the closest friends of the governor
and Mr.. McMillin as personal rather
than as a political one. Mr.. McMil-
Inns fine qualifications for the place
will be generally admitted through
out the state and it is believed that
his selection will be satisfactory both
to the railroads and to the great in
dustrial and commercial interests
likely to be most affected by the work
of the commission, which has most
difficult and trying task to perform.
The ISLANDER feels that the gov
-ernor is entitled to most warm COM
mendation for his firmness in with
standing the demands of rival po-'
litical factions in Seattle, as well as
the insistent claims of special inter-
ests which sought to force a selection
upon him, and to cordial congratula-
tions upon his success in inducing Mr.
McMillin to accept a place upon the
commission, the success of which is
of the utmost Importance to the gov
ernor personally and to the Republi-
can party in this state.
Governor Mead, Hon. II. A. Fair
child and E. w. Purdy came over to
Roche Harbor from Bellingham
Thursday on a special steamer to
confer with Hon. John S. McMillin
relative to the organization and work
Of the state railway commission, Of
which he and Mr.. Fairchild are mem
bers. Mr.. Purdy is president Of the
First National Bank, of Bellingham,
and one of the governors most trust
ed friends and advisers. The gov
ernor and party spent short time
in Friday Harbor yesterday on their
way to Bellingham. It was the gov
ernor's first visit here since his NOM
ination. He is just the same frank,
cordial and unassuming man that he
was before achieving high political
honors and apparently as glad as
ever to meet old friends.

Accidents Must Be Reported

AS result OF failure of ship mas
ters in reporting accidents OF more
or less serious nature, Collector lde
has been instructed to issue an Of
fetal warning to all concerned that
a fine of 81, 900 will be imposed for
any neglect in making these reports
in future. The fine will be imposed
under that paragraph OF the regula-
tions requiring what are known as
wreck reports.
Proof Of the carelessness existing
in this matter was discovered in
Washington when a comparison OF
the reports on the same subject from
the customs and marine inspectors
was made. From the lack OF data
the formerwe entirely blank, while
the huh and boiler officials, reports
had many reports Of inspections made
on repairs which followed damage of
all sorts.
The trouble was found to exist
principally among the towboats and
small passenger steamers operating
on the Sound and to the companies
operating these the warning was es-
pecially directed Collector Ide an
.ounces that from this time forward
the regulation win be vigorously en-
forced.

of the station here.
Representatives Of number of
the leading educational publishing
houses of the country have been in
town this week urging upon members
of the county board of education the
merits of their respective publica-
tions.
The county board of education, con-
sisting of Mrs c. B. Buxton, county
superintendent, Professors Joubert
and Hill, Former County Superintend-
ent Allen and o. I'll. Culver, have
been in session for the past two days
at Mr.. Culver's residence, engaged
in the somewhat trying and arduous
task Of making selections of text
books for use in the public schools of
the county for the next five years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Guard re-
turned Monday from Vancouver,
Washington, where they attended
the grand lodge NEE ings of the Odd
Fellows and Rebekahs, and Portland,
Oregon, where they attended the
Lewis and Clark Exposition. They
were accompanied by Mrs. Guards
father, Capt. First, from Ohio, who
met them in Portland. They report
having had an enjoyable trip but
were nevertheless very glad to get
home.
Stewart and Lumley, the men ar
rested here on the charge Of having
smuggled quantity Of hides from
Cadbury bay, Vancouver island, to
Deer Harbor, from which point they
shipped them to Seattle, had their
preliminary hearing befo e Court
Commissioners Keifer, in Seattle,
Tuesday evening and were held to
answer before the U. S. grand jury
in November, their bonds being fixed
at $1,000 jointly or $50 for either
one. The hides were identified by
the foreman of the British Columbia
slaughter house, and ]. T. Stroud, of
Deer Harbor, swore to their ship
ment from his wharf on the goth of
May, when they were brought there
by Lumley. The sloop is owned by
Stewart, who has quite q notorious
record as q smuggler. The evidence
on the charge Of wool smuggling,
preferred against the same mel, viii
probably be presented to the grand
jury, the officers deeming it unneces-
sary to have hearing before the
commissioner on this charge, the men
having been bound over On the hide
charge and ssput out Of business for
the time being st least.
