One Pass Won.

Charley Smith has had a lifelong
ambition to shut out the Maps with
out a hit. and he is ever ready to
pitch against them, generally with
the success that marked his effort yes
terday. He gave one base on balls,
which materialized into Cleveland =
first run. and as Cleveland got only
two tallies IL is evident that this was
quite serious matter. At other times
he did surprisingly well and pulled out
OF many tight places
Joss had the Nationals on his stan
in a way. although they d'j not find
him particularly hard 10 hit. In six
OF the nine innings Washington got men
10 first, but then the apathy would
surge TO the front and a force or a
strike out would be the next move

Clymer's Rank Judgment.

Apart from the fact that we did not
make runs enough to win IT is hard TO
see why we lost. for Cleveland did little
more than Washington IN fielding and
batting. There were many brave deeds
in The diamond. Dave AltiZcr and Terry
Turner carrying off most OF the laurels,
and all the performers showed remark
able devC lOpment IN the way OF web
feet, but you would find II difficult to
name the real reason for the score.
Specifically, one reason was a brin-
died bit Of fielding by Clymer in the
seventh inning on O'Briens line drive
with Flick on second. The Dutchman's s
Judgment was like that Of a New Eng
land reformer discussing the race
problem, and his conclusions as fool
tsh. He ran away in when he should
have run out, and missed what should
have been an easy chance, with the re-
suit that Flick cantered home with
the run that did the work OF the Maps
II was not the first time Clymer has
Ceen TO the bad on sizing up fies. and
he should trim his wiCks.

large measure for the extremely
light run of sockeyes. The 'soutfit"
which had the poorest luck is said to
have averaged $50 to the man, while
some of the crews averaged over
$500. A number of them who had
contracts for their entire catch at
market prices we're bought off
before the end Of the season by the
cannerymen, who paid as high as 500
to some of the seiners to be released
from their contracts.

HE midnight removal of the cleo

THE midnight removal of the cleo
~ trio dynamo continues to be a
topic of considerable interest among
the people of Friday Harbor, especial
ly those who have been to consider
able expense for electric wiring and
fixtures in their homes or places of
business. DR.. Capron has not given
out any statement for publica ton or
given any explanation Of his action
other than that given in the ISLANDER
last week. In response to question
as to whether the mortgage of the
San Juan County bank upon the mill
property, of which the electric light
plant was formerly part, still covers
the light plant, President Gould, of
the bank, says:
'The mortgage is matter of pub
lie record. We took it in good faith
but may possibly have made a mis-
take in assuming that it was so given.
We had loan of about So, 500 on the
mill plant when DR.. Capron, then
controlling a majority of the stock,
applied to US for a loan of 81, 500 more
for the purpose Of installing an cleo
trio light plant which he seemed con-
vinced was "good thing" 1 told
him we didn't care to increase our
mill loan but he urged the matter
quite strongly and offered to give as
additional security the new engine
which he said it would be necessary
to purchase and also all the machin-
cry and apparatus of the proposed
light plant. We finally consented to
make the loan and blanket mort
gage" covering everything was exc
cuted. It seems that the greater
part of the money thus secured was
used for the purchase of a conky
boom of logs, contrary to the advice
Of the manager of the mill and upon
which the company lost money.
Later the company's captain Of
finance bought the electric dynamo
and switch board with money secured
in some other manner. We didn't
concern ourselves as to how he got it,
as our mortgage specifically covered
all additions that might be- made to
the mill or light plant. When DR..
Capron withdrew from the mill COM
pany he claimed the light plant
as his individual property and what
ever claims his fellow stockholders in
the mill plant may have had seem to
have been relinquished, but the banks
mortgage was not satisfied nor any
change made 10 its terms. After
having had our patience and lenience
very sorely tried we have been
obliged to take steps to foreclose our
mortgage and Of course DR.. C.pron
is made party to the action"
DR.. Capron is said to have been
guided in his action in the matter by
the advice of one of the leading law
firms Of Seattle, while the banks at
torneys, one of whom has been here
from Seattle within the past few days,
express themselves very positively to
the effect that the banks mortgage
upon the mill plant also covers the
light plant, including the distracted
dynamo. In the meantime, while the
legal lights fight the matter to q fin
ish in the courts, we have to resume
payment of tribute to the Standard
Oil Company and content ourselves
with the Light Of coal oil and gasoline
lamps.

Mugwump' was an old Algonquin
word for chief, which was used in a
seventeenth century Indian bible to
translate centurion" captain or
duke" In the English version. It was
borrowed by the New Englanders as
a nickname for most superior persons,
very like the English great panjan-
DRUM and first applied in its special
political sense to Republicans who de-
serted their party on grounds of prin,
ciple at the presidential election OF
