Why Draft Horses Are
High in the Northwest

Prosperity in the northwest has
caused famine in draft horses. Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho are al
most unable to get draft animals even
at the prevailing prices, which are
80 per cent in advance of those
of last year. New settlements
in the northwest and San Francisco
building operations are said to be tre
causes which have created q drain
upon the supply. No less than fifteen
horses have been killed or injured
daily since the earthquake and fire.
The ruins are full Of nails, glass, sharp
pieces of steel, iron and other things
dangerous to horses, and as the work
must progress the lives of many hor-
ses are forfeited. Alaska is also u.s.
ing a great number Of draft animals.
In Portland many livery stables are
unable to keep enough teams on hand
to run their business, and many
sprinkling carts are unused for want
of horses.

The Capron Electric
Light Franchise

The proposition before the board OF
county commissioners to revoke DR..
Capron's electric light franchise has
nothing to commend it. The privi-
lege granted to him is not exclusive.
He is ready at any time to turn it
over to any one who will take the
plant off his hands for a considerably
smaller sum than he has invested in
it. To require him to remove the
poles and wires from the streets
would not only be a gross imposition
upon him but also upon those who
were patrons of the light system wher
in operation and who have invest:G
various sums, ranging from few dol
lars to $3.50 or more, for wiring and
fixtures. If those who are knock.
ing" want a light franchise and are
prepared to give assurances thai
they would DO any better than the
doctor has, by all means let then
haveit.

West Sound Milf
Increases Output


G. J. VanEaton, of the West Sound
Mill Co., West Sound, was a visitor
here Monday. He reports business
with them as being exceptionally
good and says that they have already
arranged to more than treble the out
put of the shingle department. of the
mill, additional machinery already be-
ing on the ground. Up to the pres
ent time their daily cut has been 3d.
600, but as soon as the new machines
are installed they hope to increase
this to 10000, Although majority
of the shingle mills of the state will
shut down for a greater part of the
winter, the West Sound mill, which is
not in the shingle combine, will con-
tinue to cut. They have no trouble
in finding ready markit for all they
can turn out, and at good prices.
Those cut for eastern shipment are
taken to Anacortes aud kiln dried be
fore being loaded on the cars there,
but the coastwise shipments e not
treated to the steam bath, as they
make a better roof if laid green.

To Make Edible
Products from kelp

Mr.. A. E. Magnussen, of Seattle,
spent several days here during the
week on business connected with the
establishment of a plant for the map
ufacture Of stseatron" and other pro-
ducts from kelp by a process invent
ed by DR.. T. G. Frye and DR.. Mag
nussen, professors in the state univer-
sity. Nearly all the citron used in
this country is imported and the orig
inators Of sseatron" believe that
their product will take its place in a
large measure. They plan to manu-
facture numerous other delicacies
also and if their hopes are realized
their enterprise will be quite an ac-
QUESTION to whatever place they may
select for its location. Mr.. Magnussen
was very much pleased with the situa-
tion here and doubtless would make
a favorable report upon it if assur-
ances of sufficient water supply
could be given him.

Increase of Wages
and Cost Of Living

The annual Investigation of the Bu-
reau of Labor into wages and the re-
tail prices of food shows that in the
principal manufacturing and mechan-
ical industries Of the country aver
age wages per hour in 1906 were 4.5
per cent higher than in 1905, the reg
ular hours of labor per week were 0. 5
per cent lower, and the number of
employees in the establishments inves-
tigated was 7per cent greater. The
average full-time weekly earnings per
elnploye in 1906 were 3.9 per cent
greater than in 1905.
Ths retail price Of the principal ar
ticles of food. weighted according to
family consum ption of the various ar
ticles, was 1871 per cent higher IN
1906 than the average price from
1890 to 1899. Compared with the av-
erage for the same 10 year period,
the purchasing power of an hours
wages in 1906, as measured by food,
was 7.3 per cent greater, and of
full weeks wages "a per cent great
er, the Increase in the purchasing
power of the full week s wages being
less than the increase in the purchas-
ing power of hourly wages because
Of the reduction in the hours Of labor.

School Work More
Equitably Divided

At the request of Miss Cochel, pri-
mary teacher in the public school, a
special meeting Of the school board
was held the first of the week at
which Miss Cochel made vigorous
and effective protest against the un-
equal distribution of pupils and divis-
ion of work in the school. She call
ed the boards attention to the fact
that the enrolment in her room was
sixty one, in the intermediate room,
forty, in the seventh and eighth
grades thirty three and in the classes
taught by the principal only nine.
It was decided to drop the eleventh
grade, in which there is only one pu-
pill enrolled, move the sixth grade
from the intermediate room up stairs
and relieve the crowded condition of
Miss Cochel's room by transferring
the third grade to Miss Barry's room.

Islander Office
Improvements

The exacting work of getting out a
newspaper is somewhat distracting
when the roof is being taken off and
rebuilt over the heads of the printers
and Office force. If the ISLANDER is
not quite up to it's usual standard for
a few weeks we trust thatits readers
will make some allowance for the tu-
multi and disorder in the midst of
which the work is being done. When
our remodeled building is completed,
our presses set in place on concrete
foundations and new machinery and
other equipment added the ISLANDER
will have one of the most complete
and nicely arranged Offices in the
state, and the paper itself, which has
long ranked among the best weeklies
on the coast, will be very materially
improved. Notwithstanding the vir-
ulent opposition which the publisher
has had to contend with during the
past year the paper has more sub
scribers now than it ever had before
and its job department has been
crowded with work for months past.
No canvass for subscribers has been
made and no advert tising has been So
licited With the improved facilities
which we will soon have we will be
able to handle more advertising mat
ter without encroaching too much
upon our reading matter space. We
would prefer to sell our additional
space to county merchants, but if
they don't want it there others who

union brings together Sheriff Thomas
Walsh, of this county. and his brother,
who left the old home in Manitoba
over a quarter of century ago. Last
fall Sheriff Walsh learned thru a trav-
cling man, who had known the family
in Canada, that the long lost brother
was alive and prosperous. Sheriff
Walsh at once took up the matter with
view to learning his missing broth
er's whereabouts. He learned that he
was at Tonapah. New, and wrote him.
No reply was received and Sheriff
Walsh was still in doubt as to where
his brother was. A few days ago, how
ever, Mr.. Walsh received telegram
stating that the brother from the west
was going east, and would stop OF in
Iowa for few days visit. The re-
union. after silence Of so many years,
brings up many incidents in the lives

separation. The western brother, who
left home when mere lad has trav-
eled extensively and spent many years

Farmers Cooperative Society.

Special to Times-Republican
Rockwell, March 4.-For the nine
teenth time the members of the Rock
we'll Farmers Cooperative society
met Saturday in their annual business
meeting. The event was more like a
Fourth of July than anything else, for
the air was full of enthusiasm over the

footings include the receipts and dis

was large, and for miles around farm
ers came in, whether, members. of the
society or not, to enjoy the day and
listen to the reports of the year. and
help rejoice over its success. Much
credit is due to Frank Campbell, the
manager. whose integrity and business
sagacity ranks him high among the
grain men Of the state. The society
reaped a fine profit in other lines, as
well as corn and oats, for they handled
machinery and clothing.
Clothing to the amount of sl5,414S5
