The transfer of business as long

a matter of more than ordinary in

merchant of the county seat, having
been in business here twenty eight
year, but he also had one of the first
stores on Orcas island at what was
for years known as the "old Sweeney

by N. l.. Weiberg. When he went
there Paul K. Hubbs, prominent in
the early history of the county. had
few dollars worth of goods at what
was then called s'Hubbs' bay, where
Jas. Guthrie now lives, and there was
little store at the place now owned
by Capt. Gregg, then called ssDesper-

only store on this island was that Of

The Eighth Grade
Examination.

s "A
Twenty-seven pupils of the public
schools throughout the county took
the recent eighth grade examina tion
five on Orcas island, ten on Lopez
and twelve here, of whom seven are
pupils Of the Friday Harbor school.
Only eight passed, six Of them being
from the school here and two from
the Lopez school. The regulations
OF the state board of education re.
quire that pupils must obtain grade
Of at least eighty per cent in arith-
metic and grammar and while the
percentage in other studies may be
lower the general average must be
at least eighty. The arithmetic ex-
animation was an easy one and yet
many failed to pass, including all ol
the pupils from the East Sound and
Richardson schools who took it. Il
is reported that the lowest grade
here was higher than the highest Al
East Sound. As it is not probable
that the average pupil here is any
brighter than the average at the 9th
er places mentioned, il is reasonable tc
assume that where so many fail te
pass there IS some serious defect ID
the schools rather than in the pupils.

CONCERNING
FIRE INSURANCE
SOME OBSERVATIONS AS TO RE-
LIABILITY OF COMPANIES
Some of the Oldest and Strongest
sold Line'' Companies OF America
and Europe Represented Here BY
Home Agents--The Insurance That
They Write Insures.

|THE editor OF the ISLANDER re-
~ ceives inquiries occasionally as
to the financial responsibility Of GER
tain insurance companies which pay
sufficient commission upon business to
make it profitable, apparently, for
agents in other places to ''work the
COUNTY" from time to time for pat
ronage, which they seem to find it easy
to get oy taking notes for premiums
and making misrepresentation as to
comparative rates. The strong
"old line" companies will not resort
to such methods. Lo:g experience
has shown that their rates are as low
as they can be to insure protection to
the policy holders. Quite a number
of thesoldest and strongest companies
of the United States and Europe are
represented here by established
agents. Their responsibility and re-
liability is beyond question. The
Aetna. 'sthe leading FIRE insurance
company of America" represented
in this county by O. H. Culver, has
suffered heavy losses in all Of the
great fires in this country for nearly
a century, losing in the Chicago fire
alone an amount equivalent to its en-
tire cash capital of $4,000, 600. In
the Boston fire, year later, it lost
81, 900, 900 and it has paid in losses
since its organization in 1919 over
$1O3, 600, 600. And yet its cash assets
are nearly 81, 200, 600 and it's surplus
as to policy holders over $11. .0OO, 900.
Mr.. Culver also represents the Nor
wich- Union, Of Norwich, England, es-
tablished in 1897. It had cash sur
plus Jan. l, 1906, Of "a, 500, 900 and it
is its proud boast that it makes no
obligations it cannot meet and meets
all obligations that it makes"
Other great companies, both Amer
lean and European, are represented
here by Gene c. Gould and b. 81.
Nash. All have the same rates and
the insurance that they write is the
kind of insurance that insures. Any
other kind is dear at any price.

MANY of the ISLANDERS S readers
- are evincing an interest IN
political ref,rm and are desirous of
learning more about the direct pri-
mary idea which is taking strong
hold upon the common people" of
the state, who are anxious to shake
of the thraldom of bossism. A short
time ago conference was held in
New York City under the auspices of
the Civic Federation for the discus
sion OF reform in election methods
and cleaner government. A number
OF papers were read on the workings
OF the direct primary in the states in
which it has been adopted. The
Post-Intclligencer says that William
D. Washburn, Jr., a delegate to the
conference from Minnesota, gave a
brief description of the law in his
state, the pioneer in the adoption of
this reform. The Minnesota law on
this subject furnishes the model upon
which the majority of the laws which
have been adopted or which have
been suggested is framed. In brief,
its essential features, as described by
Mr.. Washburn, are as follows:
The Minnesota primary election
law involves the return to first prin-
ciples in a democratic government.
Its object is to permit the citizen to
vote for whom he pleases without re-
straint It applies to. all candidates
for elective Offices, for district, coun-
ty and city; and for school, park and
library boards in cities having one
hundred thousand or more inhabi-
tants. It is held seven weeks before
election, with the use of the Austria
lian ballot system. No party can
have place on the official ballot TN
less it cast 10 per cent Of the total
vote in the previous election or files a
petition signed by 10 per cent of the
qualified voters. All candidates must
file their intention to run with the
county auditor at least twenty days
before the primary, the fee being $40
for county officer and $50 for a can
didate for an Office covering two
counties or more.
1.-TWO weeks before the primary the
county auditor must prepare a sepa-
rate ballot for each party for public
inspection: Such ballots must be
printed twice in full in the official pa
per Of the county. Rotation in place
upon the ballot is provided so that
each candidate appears first upon
the ballot an equal number OF times.
I'm the cities the clerk must give
public notice of the time and place of
holding the election, and must post
the names of the candidates at each
polling place.
Judges and clerks are appointed
under the general election law. Bal
lot boxes are provided for each party
and one box for such women as wish
to vote in school elections. No voter
may receive ballot unless he has
registered. and he is required to cast
a ballot of bis own party, which must
be the party for which he voted in
the last election.
ssThis machinery thus provides that
the voter be permitted to cast bis
vote without any restraint. The
people Of Minnesota have given the
system thorough trial and would no
more be willing to part with It now
than they would be to abandon the
