NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE.

Governor Hughes has opened his
mouth on the tariff, and what he says
is bad. He repeats the high tariff
creed and bows the knee to the grand
governing conspiracy OF protection.
On this very important issue there is
but little difference between Candidate
Hughes and Candidate Cannon, except
that of per centum.

Decided Question of
San Juan Jurisdiction

Judge and Mrs. Orange Jacobs,
of Seattle. celebrated their f1ftieth
wedding anniversary q few days ago.
Judge Jacobs, when chief Justice of
the territory OF Washington, render
ed decision which decided the dis
puted question of jurisdiction over
San Juan island. According to the
Post Intelligencer s'this decision was
made in the case Of q man named
Watts, on trial for murder. Judge
Jacobs maintained jurisdiction and
held against the plea of the defendant
counsel that as the island was then
jointly occupied by the United States
and Great Britain the courts Of the
territory of Washington had no juris-
diction to punish crime committed
at any place on the island. He held
to this decision throughout the storm
which it provoked and sentenced
Watts to be hanged. -

Busy Roche HarbOr

The Bellingham American says that
Zone of the busiest places in the
Northwest at this time is the plsnt of
the Roche Harbor Lime Company.
About forty white men are employ
ed at the lime works now in addition
to a number of Japanese. - 1t might
broaden the American reporters
point of view somewhat to come over
to Roche Harbor some time when the
big plant is real busy and operating
thirteen kilns instead Of two. There
doubtless would have been ten times
as many men employed there as there
are at present if unfortunate litigation
had not prevented the Organization of a
great company to engage in manufac
turing cement there. It Is to be hoped
that the time is not far distant when
Mr.. McMillin's great project will be
carried out, and when it is Roche
Harbor will certainly be lone Of the
busiest places in the northwest.

When Bank of England note re-
turns to the bank it is never reis-
sued, says Tit Bits. It is cancelled
by having the signature OF the chief
cashier torn of. A days signatures
thus detached often amount to 9
weight OF twenty pounds. SO some
idea may be gathered Of the enormous
quantity Of the notes dealt with IN 9
days business. After the signatures
are torn Of the notes are pricked on
IN the register and sorted INTO the
dates Of issue. They are then placed
in boxes IN the vaults, whore they are

Of doubt among the crew Of the steam

was only waiting for an opportunity
to distance the swift skipper. Wed.
nssday night at Bellingham q purse
was hung up by the crew and some
shore people gathered to witness the
sport. The race took place on the
wharf and the once fleet captain was
not in It. The chief must have put

he was entirely too much for the esp
tain and won easily. Next Wednes.

measure. to Vancouver. B. c.. for
reshipment from there to Skagway,
Alaska. They are to be used on an

YER were made on large scows in to~
of the Canadian tug Chinook. The
mill company desired to engage the
tug Venture. of this port. to do the
towing, but the requirements OF the
steam boat inspection service prevent
ed Only vessels operating under
register can engage in foreign COM
mercs by sea and the navigation law
requires that American steamers SO
engaged shall carry licensed master
and licensed mate. 1t does not pay
to do this on small tugs unless they
are steadily employed in foreign trade
and the result is that many profitable
jobs go to Canadian tugs which are
permitted to engage in foreign trade
in our waters in charge of fewer Off
GERS and of lower grade than our laws
require American vessels to carry
when so engaged.

More money was expended for build.

More money was expended for build
ing improvements in Friday Harbor
during the past year than during any
previous year in the history of the
town, not even excepting 1906, when
the new court house was built. Pos
siblY q greater number of improve
ments were made during 1905 but
their aggregate cost was far less than
the cost of the buildings erected in ell
ther of the two years which have clap
sed since then. First and foremost Of
the improvements made during 1907 is
the new building of the San Juan
County bank. 1t stands upon a MAJ
sive foundation of concrete, the two
story superstructure being Of brick,
with pressed brick facing and cut
stone trimmings. The windows are
of plate glass, the banking room is
one Of the finest to be found in any
Country bank'' in the state, and the
entire building is practically fire
proof.
Quite number of attractive resi-
dences and cottages were built during
the year, the finest being the hand
some two and a half story mansion of
Andrew Newhail, erected upon the
site of the historic cottage occupied
for many years by the late Capt. War
bass. on the picturesque point which
he called "Idlewild.
The fine cottage of F. N. Culver,
built in what is called the renaissance
style of architecture. was completed
about the first of the year. Among
other fine homes, commenced and
completed during the year, are those
of DR.. McKinnis, Van E. Sargent. F.
A. Simpson, Fred e. Kirby. and
Charles 81. Baker. Aside from the
bank building the only other new
business structures erected during the
year are the Murray building. stone

Pheasants and Wild Turkeys


The experiment of encouraging the
growth of wild phessants of various
breeds has been tried with more or
less success by Illinois farmers. and
these birds have been introduced into
Indiana to some extent. Massachu-
setts has tried the same plan, but
with the unsatisfactory conclusion
that the pheasant is destroyer and
q robber and not worth it's ''keep."
The next experiment there is to be
with the wild turkey, which it is said
can be imported from the South at
the rate of $50 for a dozen pairs.
They average an increase of ten young
birds year to each couple. In the
early years of the natlon' g histoy wild
turkeys we're common in the states
and territories bordering upon the
Ohio river. as we'll as In the middle
and southern states. President Roose-
velt has lately been on a hunt for
them in the mountains OF Virgin
ia, but has met with poor success.
They are unknown on this coast,
though there would seem to be no rea-
son why they should not thrive in
this state. unless our forests are too
dense for them and the supply of
grasshoppers and other insects too
limited.

Postal Savings Idea

The st. Paul Pioneer Press thinks
there is wide lack Of understanding Of
the postal savings banks idea. It
points out that the government can
get all the money it wants at 2 per
cent, and interest paid on postal saw
ings would have to come from the
earnings of the money redeposited BY
the Government In the banks Of the
country. It then says:
But we suspect that good deal Of
the sentiment for postal savings
banks is based on the superstition
that the actual money deposited
would be kept looked up somewhere
in Uncle Sans strong box.
II when it is thoroughly understood
that the savings bank project will
necessarily involve redeposit in the
banks and that the rate OF interest will
necessarily be less than is paid by or
dinary savings banks the project re-
tains its popularity then W ahall b
close to asetflsment Of tts question. =
