Professor Joubert
Is Reelected

At special meeting Of the direct
ors of the Friday Harbor school dis
trict held Thursday morning Prof.
Joubert was unanimously reelected
principal, upon motion of Mr.. Larson,
at the same salary he received during
the past year, the directors having
ing fully satisfied themselves from
school data secured from Whatcorh,
Skagit and Jefferson counties that,
while the salary paid him is higher
than the average in most schools OF
three or four teachers doing only
eight years Of work, it is not higher
than che average in schools doing as
much work as is done here. On the
contrary it is lower. 1t was decided
to offer adjoining districts an oppor-
tunity to join with this district in the
organization of union high school
district, and high school pupils from
such districts which do not take ad-
vantage Of this offer will hereafter be
charged tuition at rate not yet
fixed.

Andy Johnson's
Big Wool Crop

Andy Johnson, whose fine farm ex-
tends down to the shore line at the
south end of San Juan island and af
fords convenient landing place for
boats from the British side of the
channel, says that his wool crop this
year runs about one hundred pounds
to the sheep. Eric Erickson says
that his sheep are doing better than
that, although his farm is several
miles inland from the coast. They
were talking to the deputy collector
of customs when they impaired this
information and of course, as law
abiding citizens, opposed to SNUG
glers and all their works, they could
have no desire to mislead that officer.
Andy rather turns up his nose at the
small yield Of wool reported by N. A.
Ward and mentioned in the ISLANDER
last week only 21a pounds in one
fleece, and intimates that with the
great advantage of location enjoy
ed by Mr. Ward at his Kanaka bay
farm, his annual clip should be con
[si1erably larger.

four of the eight nom commissioned
officers of his company were killed.
For the first five months of his SER
vive in the army he was paid 81 a
month and as sergeant his pay was
$13 month. After the war he re-
turned to Jackson, Miss, and re-
manned there four years. In 1851 he
went to California where he spent
over ten years chasing the will-o'- the
wisp of fortune about the various
mining camps. In 1862 he left Cali
fornia and came north, spending the
next ten years in Oregon, Easterr
Washington and Idaho. He joined
the stampede" to the Boise basin,
which for a number of years was one
of the greatest placer mining camps
in the west. In 1872 he came to
Orcas Island and this county has been
his home ever since its organization
Last year he made a trip to Seward,

hearty at his age. He was born in
Tennessee August IA, 1921. His ia
tler was one of the pioneers of that
state, having gone there with his pa
rents from South California in 1896.
His mother was a native of Mary
land. Most of his early life was spent
in Tennessee but he lived for a num-
Der of years in Mississippi and was
there at the time of his enlistment as
a soldier in the Mexican war, over
sixty yea s ago. He was in Co. E,
First regiment of Mississippi Rifles,
of which the colonel was Jefferson
Davis, afterwards a United States
senator and cabint minister and
president of the Southern confed-
eracy and as such commander-in-
chief of the confederate army.
Mr.. Bowman was made a corporal
for gallantry at Monterey and was
again promoted to sergeant for gal
lantry at Buena Vista, where
