The county commissioners at their
meeting this week adopted the White
plans for the new court house and
directed the auditor to advertise for
bids for the bonds and also for bids
for the construction of the building.
It was also decided to offer the pres
ent court house site for sale to the
highest bidder. The San Juan County
bank has already made an offer Of
81, 600 for the property. The several
legal notices pertaining to these mat
tiers may be found on the fourth page

with q deadly weapon, lived at Doe
Bay, Qrcas island, for many years.
Swanson is accused of taking a shot
at one OF his neighbors as the out
come of long-standing quarrel be-
tween the two men. The complain
ing witness in the case, Chas. Brown,
declares that Swanson was in the
habit Of treating members Of his fam

Sunday Swanson is said to have jeered
at the father and mother-in-laW Of
Brown and Brown invited him to
fight. Swanson went to his own house,
armed himself, and then went out to
where Brown was standing and fired
at him, 50 Brown Gays. Swanson
says he didn't.

co. WILL INSTALL PLANT


II considerable majority Of the

Lumber & Mfg. Go. has been sold to
number Of San Juan citizens, includ-
ing Peter Kirk Jr., Arnold Kirk and
DR.. Capron, Of Roche Harbor, and w.

Joseph and Albert Jensen, principal
stockholders in the old company, each

Groll retains his stock and will con-
tinue to serve as president and man
ager of the company. 1t, is the in
tention Of the new owners to put in q
gang saw and otherwise materially
improve the plant. The installation
and operation Of an electric light
plant is also contemplated for the
purpose of furnishing lights to who
ever may contract for them in Fri
day Harbor. The ISLANDER is au-
thorized to state that "the price for
lights win be the same as that usually
charged for like service on Puget
Sound. The company has not yet de-
cided whether to charge fat rate
or adopt the meter system, but prob
ahlv both methods will ho ,,sed "
The people mere should appreciate
the public spirit Of the company and
the confidence manifested in under
taking such an enterprise without
any town franchise protection, or
any immediate prospect Of securing
a street lighting contract, and they
should welcome any opportunity to
curtail their contributions to the
treasury of the Standard oil octopus.

Copper Waste Basket.

The newest waste basket is most
artistic thing. 1t is of copper, bur-
nished and polished to a high degree
of luster, and showing in the front an
inset of jade in large irregular form.
The combination of the green tone Of
the ornament and the ruddy hue of
the copper is most effective. One par
ticular waste paper receptacle on this
order was originally intended as a
glorified coal bod, but woman whose
sense of fitness protested against the
introduction of a willow basket in a
richly furnished apartment where
copper found the proper background,
turned the coal bod to new use, and
her example has been initiated by
other women, who declare that there
is an informal aspect about willow
basket that is not in keeping with the
furnishings of certain rooms. In these
copper receptacles there is an inner
box of sheet iron, which is lifted out
when the papers are to be disposed Of

WHY OHIO Is PROUD.

Not much Is heard of Ohio as a
corn state, but only seven out of the
other A beat it in the size of the crop.
The average population of the coun-
ties of Ohio is about $4,000, but of the
So only 20 or 81 exceed that limit.
There are more men fit for mill
tary duty in Ohio than fought at Muk-
den, in the japanese and Russian
armies combined.
If the people of Ohio stood side by
side, with outstretched arms, touching
finger tips, the line would reach from
Boston to San Francisco, with a large
margin left.
The first settlements in Ohio were
made in the southeastern part of the
state, but now that section is less pop
ulous than almost any other. 1t con-
tains no great city.
No precious metals have ever been
mined in Ohio, but the value of the
coal and iron dug out of the Ohio hills
every year exceeds that Of the gold
of Colorado or California.
Only one state Illinois-which is
younger than Ohio is more populous.
Illinois is much larger In area. No
state later in date of settlement has
more inhabitants in proportion to its
size.

HOW TO KEEP A HAT NICE
It Must Be as Religiously Br, shed as
Ones Clothes-How to Fresh
en- Trimming.

A good hat should be we'll cared for,
to keep it looking fresh. Not only
must the hat itself be brushed care
fully, but the trimming must be gone
over; bows pulled up into shape, loose
petals glued into flowers, and loose
threads frightened. Flowers and
leaves should be carefully wiped with
a soft cloth; when colored flowers
fade they can often be touched up
with water-color paints and camers
hair brush. Most hats now have trim
ming arranged under the brim, and
they should always be raised up on
a block or stand when put away, to
avoid crushing. 1t is especially neces-
sary to observe this care with a hat
having maline ruche under the brim
at the back, says the Rural New
Yorker. This material is quite per-
ishable, and is likely to become very
"mussy" after short period Of wear,
unless handled carefully. We clean
soiled white straw hats with oXalic
acid, scrubbing with a toothbrush,
and sopping up the moisture with a
soft cloth, to avoid staining the straw.
The acid burns colored straw, turn
ing it in ugly red, so care must be
exercised if cleaning hat in which
white and colored straw are COM
bined.

ERA OF BIG THINGS.
Skill and Talent Command Greater
Rewards Than Ever in
Worlds History.

In these days the surgeon who Is
master Of his science receives fees
which would have startled the surgeons
and the public so years ago. A fee OF
$4,000 is not uncommon for an op
Grafton which can be performed in
comparatively little time. OF course
$4,000 is not the maximum fee
There are cases, it is stated, in
which as much as $4,000 has been
paid. When life is hanging by a
thread the question of fees is i'm
material. The average man will give
all that he has, IL required, to get a
new lease of life through the sur.
geon's skill. A famous throat spe.
cialist was once summoned from
London to treat the father of the
present kaiser. He remained only a
few days after making diagnosis.
He rendered no bill. but it is said
the German government gave him a
fee which represents half a years
earnings of the specialist, who had a
very large income from his profes-
sion. Even the literary man receives
large fees for his work. Mr.. John
Morley, it has been stated, was paid
$4,000 to write the Life of Glad
stcle." Certainly, great skill and
talent never commanded greater re-
wards than they do now. 1t is an era
of big things.

PLACING THE FURNITURE.
Arrange in Reference to Use for
Which Pieces Are Designed
Points About Bedroom.

The most comfortable chairs should
be placed where there will be good
light for reading, by artificial light, If
the room is to be used mostly in the
evening, and If it is to be used as a
morning room, center the attractions
near the windows. A table where
magazines or needlework can be laid
down should be placed near a chair,
not away off in corner where they
have no value. Again, tables should
be selected that will not topple over
if anyone passes quickly through the
room.
A large room is much easier to ar.
niture can be arranged in such a
manner that several groups of people
can be entertained without the CONVEX
sation being overheard by those near
them.
How many oldfashioned houses have
the chairs set in stiff array around the
walls, with long sofas on either side,
so that a chair has to be drawn up for
the occupant to converse with the vic
tim on the sofa. 1t is not necessary to
have to drag chairs around to make the
room inviting, and these points should
be borne in mind when it is furnished.
In furnishing a bedroom we have
fewer to consider The bureau lhust be
where the light is good in the daytime
as well as by artificial light. The bed
should be placed in such way that
the light will not strike the eyes in the
early morning This is not always easy
to arrange, as frequently bedrooms
have windows on two or more sides.
In such cases it is we'll to have an ex-
ira shade of dark green on the window
that throws light on the bed.
Nowadays nobody that knows any
thing about furnishing fastens their
curtains with loops. They should hang
in soft, straight folds, and the up-to-
date woman shortens her curtains II

BE Finds It Too Easy Being Sergeant

That Policeman Barney Flynn is still
Patrolman Flynn is due entirely to
himself. Others are patrolmen be-
cause they cannot be sergeants or lieu
tenants or captains; Flynn is one from
choice. He is probably the only man
on eth foorce" who, having been pro-
NOTED, has made special and earnest
plea to be- "ray-dooced to tn Franks"
as he himself put 1t. In this he is
unique, but in many other respects he
is typical of certain class of police
men of whom the inhabitants of city
hear little. He is resourceful and hon
est; If he were not it is probable more
would be heard of him in the news
papers and the police reports. A few
rascally men on police force can do
a world of harm to the reputation of
the whole body, and if they attain
part of it. Integrity is so important
in those to whom is intrusted the en-
forcement of the law that there is
natural tendency to magnify the evils
that are seen to exist, and the depart
ment is gagged by the worst rather
than the best that is to be found in
it. The men of the rank and file, as
a rule, are faithful, earnest and rea-
sonably clever. So, if Policeman Bar
ney Flynn does not seem to you typ.
ical, you may rest assured 1t is be-
cause you know little of the police
of the great cities. 1t is
the spectacular that gets in the lime
light Of publicity. and faithfulness,
perseverance and honesty are not often
spectacular, so we hear more of things
we admire less; and, hearing more of
them, we gain the idea that they are
the predominating features of modern
life
True, Policeman Flynn may be more
resourceful than some of his brother
officers, and he may have more of
hard-headed common sense, but he is
no more conscientious than the great
majority of them. Like them he has
many faults, not the least of which is
a desire to have as easy and comfort
able life as possible, but he acts al
ways according to his best judgment,
and he defends his acts with rare
philosophy when they are assailed.
For instance, it might be charged
against him that he has made fewer
arrests than any other man Of his
length of service, and this would carry
weight in quarters where policeman's
usefulness is Judged solely by the
number of prisoners he brings in.
But there are men of experience who
will insist that this is not true gauge
of merit, and Policeman Flynn is one
of them. He does not like to make ar
rests; he does not deem it necessary
in instances where others do.
"'Tis a nuisance" he says, "to be
dhraggin' ye-er man to tn station an
thin be afther gettin' into coort tn
mex day to PROSECUTE him. Sind him
home whin we can; that's me wa-ay iv
doin' it. IT'S easy done if he have
money in his pocket to pay f'r tn cab"
And as Policeman Flynn for many
years had a night beat in a district

liceman Flynn and his wife, between
them, made an excellent record on his
beat. 1t is not the policeman who
makes the most arrests who is neces-
sarily of the greatest value, and in this
instance order was maintained with
less friction and fewer cases on the
docket than ever before.
That was why Policeman Flynn was

Furniture Polish.

From Scotland comes this recipe for
furniture polish, which might well be
pasted in the scrapbook of every
American housewife. All that polish
can do to restore old, weatherbeaten
household goods this will do, and
much more than most put-up prepare
lions can. Here is the formula: One
cake beeswax, cup of turpentine.
Put beeswax in turpentine, let melt
slowly. Remember that turpentine is
highly infiammable, making it better
to melt the mixture over a teakettle
spout. If flame is used this must
be very low. When cold rub hard on
the piece you wish to restore. Then
rub with a piece of soft rag to polish.
