California in 1856 and since that time
he has resided continuously on the
Pacific coast. After spending two
years among the placer mines of Cal
iforuia he came north to Victoria,
reaching there on the 4th of July
1858. After few months there he
left, with two Indians, for the Cariboo
mining district in British Columbia.
They landed on San Juan island and
spect two days before continuing
their journey to the Fraser river.
After seventeen years spent in the
Cariboo district he came back to San
Juan island.
He was employed for time at
the McCurdy lime works, on the
west coast of San Juan island, now
owned and operated by the Cowell
company. In 1881 he bought a one
fourth interest in the Roche Harbor
lime works, which interest he sold to
John S. McMillin in 1886. He then
went to Vancouver, B. c., where he
resided for several years: He is now,
and has been for number of years,
living with his nephew, G. F. McLen-
nan, on Orcas island. Mrs. Robt.

H REPORT on the fruit crop of
"a Orcas island for 1906, which is
believed to be approximately correc.
as to quantities, shows that the Or
chardists of the island realized for
their product last year nearly or
quite 500, 900. About IS, 600 boxes
of apples were shipped for which the
growers received an average price of
eighty cents a box, or about $780, 900.
Pears rank second in point of guam
tity and value, and the records show
that II, 900 boxes were shipped from
the island at an average price of 81. 70
per box, making the total VALUE. Of
the pears $15, 900 The amount Of
prunes cured and marketed totals 125
tons, valued at $1G0 per ton, or a to-
tai value If $l2. 500, and, according to
the producers, not more than third
of the crop was marketed, more than
200 tons having been destroyed by
early rains.
The total value of the crop of fresh
prunes is shown to be 5000. Ac-
cording to the statements of the
ranchers of the island, the plum crop,
including all varieties, sold for 81, 500.
The value of cherries shipped was in
excess of 49, 900.
The Puget Sound American quotes
]. G. Mellhouse, of Bellingham, as
saying:
CAT present there is no fruit can
merry on the island, but it is believed
that one will be built before next sea-
son opens. A project is under way
now, and both East Sound and West
Sound are striving to get the location.
It is believed that ultimately two
fruit associations will be formed, one
at each place. This may result in
two canneries. W. J. Court and Ben
Harrison are promoting the plans for
cannery at East Sound, ard it is
probable that they may take steps to
establish cannery Independent of
the fruit growers of West Sound"
Mr.. Millhouse, as buyer for the
Wilson Mobiles Barr Company, sought
for apples on Orcas island. H sue
ceeded in getting about four carloads,
or total of !, 1920 boxes.

section of Colorado, has moved to
Gardiner, Mont, the entrance to Vel

park OF its troublesome bears, "Old

Tregarthen kills him, "Old Boxer" will
