Treasurer's Reply to
Tax Commission

The Seattle Times Of Friday. May 8
contains the following dispatch ilom
Olympia under that days date:
''You can get the information de-
sired from the state auditor in ten
minutes. The county pays me for
my time. -
"This was the reply sent BY Treas-
urer Jonn L. Murray. Of San Juan
County.to the state tax commission
in response to request for informa-
tIon as to the amount expended on
the San Juan County tax rolls against
the different classes Of property for
this year.
AS the law gives the tax commits
sion the authority to require bounty
officers to prepare such information
for it's use, the commission will begin
mandamus proceedings to compel
Murray to comply with its request.
1T lie claimed by the tax commits
sion that the first request was sent
to Murray two months ago and that
he did not reply. The refusal was In
reply to the second request. The tax
commission has been sending the
same request to all the county treas-
urers in the state and ths information
will be used in compiling . report to
the state legislature and as basis
for recommendations for changes in
the revenue and taxation laws. =

gether just. conceded the regularit,
and propriets Of the Templinmotion,
remarking that II the matter were
fairly considered By the remaining
delegates they could not help seating
the regularly elected Friday Harbol
and Valley delegates. who then with.
drew from the hall. together with thl
recalcitrants who had precipitated
the contest. An unfortunate and hard.
ly excusable mistake was then made
by referring the contests to another
committee Of one from each precinct
instead Of to all the delegates present,
sitting asa committee OF the whole.
Had this been done there is little
doubt that the opinion expressed by
Mr.. Nash wonld have been justified
by the result. for all but one Of the
East Sound delegates took q fair and
gentlemanly view Of the matter and
1nhesitatingly conceded that there
was no just ground for either of the
contests precipitated through the per
sonal animosity of two or three apos-
tates.
Although the contested precincts.
entitled to more than one-third OF
all the seats. we're not allowed any
representation in the permanent or
ganization. the justice of the regular
position was so obvious that at the
instance of the East Sound delegates
the chairman was authorized to name
all the delegates to the state conven-
tion. After a brief conference with
the secretary and others he named
Robert Moran, L. @. Rudow. Senator
Blair. S. NJ. Bugge, DR.. Oapron. N.
p. Hodgson and j. A. Smiley as
delegates. and John s. McMiIlin. Gene
G. Gould. O. B. Buxton. j. e. Tuck
or, j. III. Snowden. JOS. Thornton and
W. e. Sutherland as alternates.
The platform adopted declares that
there is but one Republican party in
San Juan county; endorses the sd-
of President Roosevelt !;
the candidacy Of VIM. q. Taft
for the presidency and urges all Re
publicsns to work together for good
under the flag of Lin
coin. Grant. Blaine. and Mckinley.
The platform as reported by Mr..
Rudow for the committee contained
a simple endorsement Of GOV. Mead.
To this Mr.. Harrison objected but the
motion to adopt the platform as read
prevailed by vote of II to 9. Later.
however. a re- reconsideration was irreR-
ularly and improperly obtained and
the reference to the governor was
stricken out. little interest being
manifested in the matter either way.

Thousand Islands
Duplicated Here

In q recent issue of the Post Intel
ligencer Mr.. W. L. Elwell, of the Sc
attic real estate firm of Calhoun
Denny & Ewing. was quoted as saying
that 'Protably only once on tn,
American continent have the Thous

duplicated. and that is in the archipel
ago to the north of US known as th'
San Juan group of islands.
Mr.. Elwell had just returned from

made the ascent of Mount Constitu
tion. on Orcas island. He said: mo

bilities of these islands. The larger
islands of the group present numerous
wide expanses of rich AGRICULTURAL
land. with soil of the peculiar volcan

"As to their agricultural features,
the islands are rarilly coming to the
front in, fruit culture and grazing,
as we'll as in other pursuits. There
are many very highly cultivated or
chards. the revenue from which is {
fine source of income to those who
have intelligently and carefully fol
lowed it up. General farming is also
a regular feature of the larger ranch
ers. but, of course, the largest reve.
nue. is derived from the fruit crops.
'sThere is one industry. however.
that up to the present time has at.
tracted but little attention. but which
bids fair to equal, if not outstrip, any
other pursuit in that section. and
that is sheep raising. Recently 9

bought up entirely by different parties
who propose to go into sheep raising

years this business has been pursued
with remarkable success and good
profit. 1t seems that on account oi

Mr.. Elwell was in error in stating
that the sheep industry is new in this
county and has hitherto had but
little attention. For many years
there have been more sheep in San
Juan county than in any other coun-
ty In western Washington. and San
JOAN mutton has been>the choicest in
the city markets.

"Sky Farm" This Afternoon {
EVENING"

"Sky Farm which comes to the
Opera house this afternoon and even
ing is without doubt the best rural
drama that is being played on the
American stage today.
This beautiful drama had a run at
the Boston Museum of over four
months and also three months at the
Academy of Music in New York and
it is needless to say that it has never
failed to please the most fastidious.
The play abOunds in comedy so clean
cut in its character that it is a source
of great delight to the clergy, who
visit the theatre when Sky Farm is
the attraction. It's story is a constant
source of amusement and one often
hears such comments as this fall from
the lips of the audience, I'd like to
come every night" At the 5Oth per-
Torrance in the Boston Museum, the
audience arose from the seats. 50
enthused were they with the village
postmistress and her daughter the ap-
plausc lasting ten minutes. Mr.. +. +.
