The Fashionable Color.

The recent recrudescence o. light
blue which is neither azure nor sky,
but just light blue, is very hard to
bear. It's popularity is due to fall
lacy that it suits the English type
of beauty. Apparently it is quite for
gotten that this type is no longer
blond, and it is only the blond of
the baby in the perambulator who
can wear pale blue with impunity.

Lingerie Collar.

An attractive finish to lingerie
collar is a strip of white or colored
betting, a quarter of an inch wider
than the collar. This strip IS worn
underneath the collar and is fas-
tened tightly around the throat, with
the edge showing a little above the
collar. The effect is very chic and
becoming.

"From the age Of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Owens life was
made intolerable by eczema in its worst
form. In spite of treatments the disease
gradually spread until nearly every part OF
his body was quite raw. He used to tear
himself dreadfully in his sleep and the
agony he went through is quite beyond
words The regimental doctor pronounced
the case hopeless. We had him in hos
pitals four times and he was pronounced
one of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as incurable.
We kept trying remedy after remedy, but
had gotten almost past hoping for cure:
Six months ago we purchased a set Of
Cuticura Remedies. The result was truly
marvellous and to-day he is perfectly cured.

Steamboat Service to
Be Further Improved

The fine steamer Rosalie was most
cordially welcomed back on the Se-
atleSan Juan route Monday. General
Manager G. G. Coker,. of the Inland
Navigation Company. was on board
and greeted most pleasantly at the
various landings many whose acquain-
tance he made on his previous visit
about three weeks ago. He laughed
good naturedly when the editor of
the Islander remarked to him that he
seemed quite willing to cross the
straits on a calm day in a safe and
commodious steamer 'staunch and
strong. goodly vessel.'' On his
previous visit he came by way of Bell
ingham on the steamer islander.
''You may say to the people of the
county, said Mr.. Coker. that the
Lydia Thompson will not again be
put on this route by our company
We recognize the fact that the islands
are developing rapidly and that their
further settlement and development
can be greatly facilitated by first class
steamboat service. and this we intend
to give. 1t is to our interest as we'll
as to the interest of the residents of
the county that good service be main
tanned. In our efforts to give such
service we naturally feel that we
should have the support and friendly
cooperation of the people along our
route. which is one of the most at
tractire in the world from a scenic
point of view.
81 see that your paper has already
referred to the possibility that the
Rosalie may be replaced by the Per-
dita. 1t is quite probable that this
change will be made within few
weeks, as soon as the extensive i'm
provements now being made in the
Perdita are completed. She is being
heightened thirty two feet and when
she is again placed in commission she
will. in my Judgment. be even better
suited to this route than the Rosalie.
which will then be placed on the Bell
ingham route, via Anacortes. The
Perdita will be approximately the
same size as the Rosatie. will be fast
or by about two miles an hour and will
have fine observation cabin on the
upper deck. built especially to enable
travellers to view the lovely scenery of
the islands.
The question of speed is important
and in furtharance of our idea Of
making better time all along the route
we hope to have our mail contract
amended so as to enable us to leave

of waiting there until six o'clock in

to do. If this delay is avoided we

be correspondingly early at other
points. When these contemplated
changes are made l shall be surprised

High Praise of
Geo. Meyers Orchard

The current issue of the Horticul-
turist contains front page picture
OF the Meyer orchard. near Orcas. and
the following interesting letter con-
cerning 1t written by the state COM
missioner Of horticulture. Mr.. F. A.
Huntley. He says:
'During my recent visit to San
Juan county. was afforded the pleas
ure Of going to see several well-man-
aged orchards. in company with
County Commissioners Fl. T. Cayou,
who is acting as the horticultural in
spector in his county. It would be
undertaking too much to go into the
detailsof the entire trip: therefore I
have concluded to write briefly of our
visit with Mr.. George Meyer. who
bears the reputation of being one of
the most successful fruitRrowers in
that locality. His orchard is situat-
ed about one mile from the village
of Orcas. He has 1872 apple trees
and about $50 pears. The apples are
Wagner. Blue Pearmain. Bellfower,
Mammoth Black Twig and Craven
stein. The Blue Pearmain is his fay-
orite as money-maker. which goes q
long way towards satisfying his chief
object as fruitgrower.
Nearly two-thirds of his pears are
Anjou. This is his favorite variety.
for the same reason that he has
choice in apples. The other varieties
are Bartlett. Louise Bonne. Flemish
Beauty. Claireeau. Easter Beurre.
Barry and Winter Nellis. which is his
second choice.
Mr.. Meyer became owner of this
orchard fifteen years ago. and two
years after it was planted. It has
been paying investment. His crop
last year was l. 468 boxes of apples,
which he sold for s1.34s. His pear
crop. 1.183 boxes at the same time
sold for 81. $50. making total of
50. 3.737 from approximately five acres
of orchard.
A fine crop of spring vetch (vicia
sativa) now covers the ground between
the trees. In answer to my inquiries
about this cover crop. Mr.. Meyer re-
piled: II practice clean cultivation
during the growing season" I" He sows
the vetch after the lest cultivation
in July and Low q the crop under late
in the spring. This method adds nit
rogen and humus to the soil. and 9TH
er fertilizing properties as we'll. He
uses some commercial potash and lime
and all the barnyArd manure he can
get. and as result bis trees look we'll
fed.
The t'open head" system of prun-
ing is found here carried out to the
limits Of ''ideal. ***
This orchard is always sprayed
whenever it needs to be. and some-
times when it isn't necessary. / am
inclined to think. Yet no harm re-
suits from over-thoroughness in spray
ing, though it is adding little more
expense than is absolutely necessary.
The owner enjoys the distinction of
owning healthy orchard and mar
keting clean fruit. which always.
Yields handsome profit.
