empha tically that he had sold any
liquor to Indians or that any had
been sold to them at his place, so far
as he knew. The board, ''after due
investigation of said affidavits and
the rebuttal affidavits filed, being full

SOLDIERS HOME
COMMITTEE HERE
GOVERNOR AND MRS. MEAD WITH
THE PARTY
Comedies the Beauty and
Advantages of Sites offered Here
But Wants Home Located Where
There 1s Railroad Transportation

ILL but two members of the
- joint legislative committee ap
pointed to select a site for the new
soldiers home were here Monday, ac-
companied by Governor and Mrs.
Mead and one of their sons. Mr.. II.
I. Jones, of the state board of con-
troll, was kept away by illness, and
business engagements prevented Rep
resentative Megler from making the
trip. Those in the party were Gov
ernor and Mrs. Mead and son; Sen
ator Blair, of Friday Harbor, chair
man of the committee; Senator Reed.
of Yakima county; Representative
Tibbits, of Issaquah, and Mrs. Tibbits;
Representative Byerly, of Cowlitz
county, and Mr.. J. H. DAVIS and Mr..
Matt II. Piles, members of the state
board of control. They arrived from
Bellingham on the steamer Islander
and we're met at the wharf by mem
bers of the Republican county com
mittee and number of business men,
including Mr.. Gene c. Gould, pres
ident of the San Juan County bank,
whose offer of site of forty acres,
near town and overlooking the Lar
Dor, had been made to the committee
through Senator Blair. Carriages
were in waiting and the members of
the party were all driven to the
Gould site, the advantages of which
they were quick to recognize. They
were also shown the site of forty
acres, now a part Of the Point Caution
military reserve and fronting direct
ly upon the harbor, which they we're
assured could be obtained. They
were particularly pleased with this
location and pronounced it incompar-
ably the finest of any that had been
offered. If the town had the advan-
tages of railroad communication there
is good reason to believe that this site
would be selected. Under the cir
Gums stances, however, there is little
probability of such result.
The revenue cutter Arcata with
Capt. Munger, chief of the service on
the Sound, on board, came into port
shortly after noon and most of the
party were clad to avail themselves
of his invitation to 90 to Port Town
send with him, as that was the next
point they had placned to visit On
their tour, and they accordingly left
at four o'clock for the "Key City. "
Gov. and Mrs. Mead had hoped to
have an opportunity to visit American
camp during their stay but they
cheerfully yielded to the wishes OF the
committee, who were anxious to COM
plete their tour as soon as possible,
but they promised their friends here
that they would endeavor to return
later in the summer and spend day
or Two at least on the island.

H OK at the meeting of the State
N0p Horticultural Society last Jam
lllIa uary. The Federation has
resolved itself into an intelligence bureau
of which Senator w. II. Paulhamus. the
well known fruit man Of Sumner. has con-
sented to act as manager. The plan of ac-
ton settled upon is commendable for its
simplicity. and it is hoped that it may effect
the accomplishment of all that the promot-
ers sought for without incurring any risk or
great expense to the federated associations.
The general manager will report market
conditions and prices whenever he consid-
ers it advisable and necessary. by wire. to
the managers of each association in the
Federation.
The associations agree to use the agents
which the Puyallup and Summer Fruit
Growers Association keeps in the various
markets to look after its shipments. paying
a nominal brokerage for actual shipments
handled. AS all the officers of the Fedora
ton agree to serve without salary and mes
sages will be paid for at-the receiving end
of the line, that is by the local managers. it
is hoped that this will induce every asso-
citation in the state to join in the work. This
plan. it is hoped, will systematic fruit
marketing and provide remedy for the
overstocking of markets with perishable
fruits and its consequent loss to the ship
per. 1t will give an impetus to the organi-
zation of local and county associations, and,
acting in conjunction with the new law reg
ulating commission houses, it is hoped it
will greatly benefit the fruit growing indus
try OF the whole state.
The following resolutions were adopted:
Be it resolved, That the President and
General Manager. w. H. Paulhamus, of the
Federation of Washington Fruit Growers,
be requested to secure the opinion of the
attorney-generalo of the state, as to the ef-
feet of the recent decisisn of the supreme
court concerning county fruit inspectors
and be it further resolved if it be found
that the state is about to be deprived of the
services of the county fruit inspectors, that
Governor Albert E. Mead be requested to
call special session of the legislature for
the purpose of securing the passage oi
remedial legislation. introduced by E. T.
Balch, of Wenatchee.)

TO HOLD FARMERS
INSTITUTE HERE
THREE DAYS SESSION PROPOSED
BY PROF. ELLIOTT
une o, and 8 Suggested as tho
Dates-Prof. Elliott to be Accom-.
panied by Prof. Thornber, Horti.
culturist, and L. w. Hansen

The editor of the ISLANDER is in
- receipt of q letter from Prof.
E. E. Elliott, agriculturist Of the
State College, stating that it is pro-
posed to hold farmers institute
here in June and asking if the 9th,
7th and 9th will be suitable dates.
The speakers are to be Prof. w. S.
Thornber. horticulturist; Mr.. L. w.
Hansen, deputy state dairy commits
sioner, and Prof. Elliott himself. It
will thus be seen that special provis.
ion is made for instruction in the
branches of agriculture in which the
people of this county are most inter-
csted.
There is perhaps no man in the state
better posted on agricultural subjects
in general than Prof. Elliott. He is
a ready speaker and most agreeable
gentleman to meet. Those of our
people who heard him when he was
here three years ago will be glad of
the opportunity VIII ch will be afford
ed to meet him again next month.
Prof. Thornber Is one Of the states
leading authorities on horticulture
and it is to be hoped that the fruit
growers of the county will be well
represented at the institute. Mr..
Hansen has been here in connection
with his work as dairy and creamery
inspector but has never addressed
any public meeting in the county.
If any considerable number Of farm
ers or orchardists in the county have
preference for other dates than
those suggested by Prof. Elliott for
holding the institute, the editor of
the ISLANDER, who was elected pres
ident of the county institute when
Prof. Elliott was last here, will be
glad to be so advised within few
days.

Fred E. Kirby Is
To Be Postmaster

Fred E. Kirby, former county au-
ditor, received his appointment as
postmaster OF Friday Harbor last
Monday. The appointment is dated
April %. Mr. Kirby will take charge
of the office as soon as his bond is ap-
proved and instructions are issued
for the transfer He was cordially
endorsed for the appointment by the
chairman and secretary of the Re-
publican central committee, Senator
Blair, officers of the San Juan county
bank and prominent business men
who are the heaviest patrons of the
Office. A peti ion asking for the ap-
D continent, of Acting Postmaster
Harpst was circulated and numerous
ly signed Immediately following the
death of Former Postmaster Hall
and before Mr. Kirby's candidacy or
that of anyone else had been ar
.-ounced, but Congressman Hnmph-
rev follows the practice of acting up
on the recommendation OF the Re-
publican committee and party leaders
filing in such positions, and as their
endorsement of Mr.. Harpst was not
asked, he complied with their request
for the appointment Of Mr.. Kirby.
Friends of Mr.. Harpst seemed to be
more anxious for his appointment
than he was himself, as his health is
net good and the work is very confin-
ing and exac ting.
A new machine for grinding clam
shells arrived few days ago for John
Broder. He has about 125 tons OF
SHELLS on hand now They may pos
sibIy be sold, without grinding, to one
of the oyster companies for use on
the oyster beds where large quantl-
ties Of youIg seed oysters are being
planted, for the -'spat' to cling to-.
MANY little folks enjoyed themselves
greatly Wednesday evening distribut-
inc among their friends May kets,

best person who can be secured for such a
position; therefore. be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Fed
Grafton of Washington Fruit Growers that
the regents Of the state college be urged to
secure. if possible. the services Of one of the
recognized masters Of the work of agricul-
tural experimentation. irrespective Of the
salary which must necessarily be paid this
man. The presence and counsel of an L.
H. Bailey. Singerland. Babcock. a=Hen-
ry or Becker, or the return to the state of
a Spillman or Piper. would be worth to
the state thousands of dollars for each dol
lar expended for salary. We earnestly urge
the board of regents to secure the services
of some such man, even though his salary
may amount to a large portion of the ap-
preparation for the maintenance of the aeri-
cultural department Of the college.
S. D. Bowie. of Snohomish, introduced
the following resolution:
Be, it resolved. That this Federation
recommend to the members of the faculty
OF the state college having charge of the
farmers institute work. that they secure the
services of an expert fruit packer to give in
struction upon that character of work in
the state.

President Paulhamus wished published
the reports concerning the fruit crop in the
states of Missouri. Nebraska. Michigan.
Wisconsin. and generally throughout the
eastern states. Owing to the recent severe
weather and late storms and blizzards, the
fruit crop is greatly damaged. and in many
places totally destroyed. The trade is look
ing to Washington and Oregon for next sea-
sons supply. Keeping this in mind he ad-
vises that extra care be taken of this sea-
sons crop throughout the state and assures
very satisfactory prices for all stock fit for
shipment to outside markets He advises
the use of the Bordeaux MIXTURE" spray
ing for apple scab and brown fungus, and
strongly urges what he considers perhaps
the most necessary and efficient care in
thinning apple and pear crops.
The meeting adjourned subject to the
call of the president.
