AGREE ON CLOSED
SEASON FISH LAW
Trap Owners, Fishermen and State
Commissioner Make a Compro-
mise on thtrty-six hour closing.
u COMPROMISE agreement has
IA been reached between the fish

II COMPROMISE agreement has
"a been reached between the fish
ermen, trap owners and the state
fish commissioner, relative to the
thirty-six-h hour weekly closed season
law, which meets with the approval
of all fishing interests of the Sound,
according to statement made to a
reporter for the Post-Intelligencer
by Fish Commissioner Riseland.
The agreement reached provides
for a strict enforcement of the law as
far as the taking Of fish is concerned
during the period provided by the
act passed by the last legislature,
but eliminates the necessity of entire
ly lifting the gear out of the water at
high tide. This feature of the law
was the principal cause of the trou-
BILE last season, the trap owners
claiming that it was far fetched and
tended to damage the traps under
certain conditions of the weather.
The trap owners have agreed with
the fish commissioner to make no at
tempt to fish during tie closed pc
riod Of the week, providing it is not
required that the gear be taken up
in accordance with the technical
wording Of the law.
After a consultation with the head
Of the fishermen's union Commission
err Riseland has announced that this
solution is satisfactory, really meet
ing the intention of the law without
submitting the traps to danger Of
rough weather and destruction Of
gear.
The section Of the law to which the
trap owners have interposed an OBJ
lection provides that during the week
" closed season the tunnel and front
part Of the pot must be raised to high
water mark, which leaves the gear
suspended in the air from ten to elev-
en- feet above the water at low tide.

County Sale of
Real e state

Considerable interest was manifest
ed Tuesday in the sale of county
lands acquired through tax foreclo-
sures, considering the fact that very
little property Of much value was

son for SO; another in the same To-
cai:y was sold 70 w. Fl. Wynn, Jr.,
for $35 and another to Mr.. Thomp-
son, Of Richardson, for $50. One
tract Of eighty acres, between the
Shull and Robt. Sandwith farms on
San Juan island, was sold to A. NJ.
Breediove for $500, so. He is under
stood to have bought it for his son-in-
law, Thos. L. Monnett, who is now
teaching school near Blaine, What
com county. Six lots at Olga we're
bought by O. II. Culver for G. S.
Rice, Of Bellingham, for $17.OO. The
total proceeds Of the sale were lit
tie less than $40 and quite number
Of the pieces Of property advertised
were not sold because Of the fact that
tax deeds had not been issued to the
county.

Will Build Large Water Tank

The Friday Harbor Lumber and
Manufacturing Company is planning
to erect large tank on the bluff
back of the mill for the storage OF
water for fire protection. Why cot
make the tank high enough and large
enough to afford some protection for
the business part of town? The mill
engine could be utilized to pump wa
ter into the tank from the bay. The
business men of the town could afford
to unite in defraying the expense Of
establishing some system OF protec-
tion, which it will be necessary to
have before lower insurance rates,
which are now very high on Spring
street, can be obtained.

- few days ago from his friend
D. G. Lewis, who visited him here
last year, written at Oklahoma City,
in which he says: II am here and
wish I was there. 1t is windy and
dusty, cold and hot alternately.
Crops look fine and there will be q big
peach crop. shall take up some Of
my business projects in few days
and if they are greatly delayed shalt
pack all my belongings and go to
Washington, the finest and best state
in the Union.'
Mr.. Lewis encloses an article writ
ten by him at Bellingham and print
ed in the Oklahoma City Times-Journ-
al from which it is evident that he
was particularly charmed with the
San Juan islands. He recites some
of the incidents Of the boundary dis
pute, pleasantly mentions Capt. War
bass and Chas. Mckay and closes as
follows:
'.San Juan is one Of Gods beauty
spots. It's soil is fertile; its climate
ever even and soft and balmy, and
never too hot and never too cold, and
here in the mellow sunshine and soft
atmosphere ripen to perfection. the
hansomest apples, the sweetest Of
cherries, elegant currants and finely
favored black berries, raspberries
and such other fruits, including
prunes, pears, and plums that grow
and ripen in the temperate zone.
The inhabitants of the islands are in-
telligent and contented, and why
should they not be SO? The islands
of the Puget Sound region are scenic
and many pleasant and happy day
have l spent among them fishing for
ling and rock cod and other big fish,
and searching for health and taking
that medicine which is mixed by the
divine Creator, and distributed to
mankind by the invigorating winds.
There is no lovelier spot on earth
And an enthusiastic fisherman might
feel like saying:
Pleasures linger in the sunshine,
Happiness is by the brook,
Life is what we make it,
Pleasure is close to the hook.
By persons acquainted with this
region or who live here or who have
passed a few days among the islands
Of Puget Sound the following heauti-
full lines will be appreciated:
ssThere is spot on earth supremely
blessed,
"A dearer, sweeter spot than tho rests
Oh, thou shalt find where'sr my footsteps
roam,
That spot and country. and that place my
home."
