tiud 1t necessary TO Ego dry" even
when sojourning at his favorite resort
East Sound. for be says:
''About the only difference that /
could see between Friday Harbor and
the other towns around the San Juan
islands was that there were q number
OF saloons there. And. BY the way.
the San Juan islands seem to have
taken to local option to such an
extent that you can only get drink

RlvERpALE NOTES.

The diphtheria scare which made
its appearance in the village last week
appears to have vanished. The prompt
attention given to the cases that de-
veloped, the efficient quarantine main
tanned and the closing of the schools
for week. all combined to reduce the
possibility of an epidemic to a mini
mum. AS a result it Is felt the danger
is gone since no new cases have devel
oped in ten days. The Bartlett and
Rhodes children who came down with
the disease are we'll on the road to
