Salmon Fishing on
The West Coast

Salmon fishing is now under full
sway on the west coast of San Juan.
There are more purse seiners camped
at the Fleming place. at Kanaka bay,
than ever before and there is also a
large camp at the Lawson place. at
Eagle Cove. There are eighteen or
twenty "outfits" at FleminRs. num-
bering about ITS men. and twelve or
more crews at Lawson's. There are
also camped along the coast q consid-
erable number of Indians, and those
already on the ground (and on the
water) say that great many more are
coming-more than have been there
before for several years. The reason
Is that few canneries are operating
on the Fraser river this year and
there is little doing IN the few indus
tries in which the Indians are at all
skilled.
While big salmon run is not ex-
pectde. either of sockeyes or silvers.
the price is high and fishermen do not
need to catch great many in order
to make good wages. AS high as forty
cents fish has been paid for sockeyes
this week. The biggest haul reported
by any of the purse seine crews is
400. while numb Der made catches of
100 to 200 or more.

Judge Bowman Hale and Hearty

Judge Bowman Hale and Hearty
Judge Tucker had letter few
days ago from his old friend John Fl.
Bowman. one of the county's oldest
and best known pioneers. He was the
second auditor of the county and
owned at one time a large part of the
townsite here. He is now living at
Buckley. King county. In his letter
to Judge Tucker he asys:
~ am living quietly. you might
say-a sort of recluse. Nv pension
($2U since March 18 last year) would
foot the expense if it we're not for
the baseball game every Sunday.
which makes deficit of about 81. 90
per month. l am boarding at the
best hotel in town (the only one) {;
haven't missed meal and feel we'll.
Still I feel that am getting old.
"This is dull town this year. with
neither of the saw mills running I
suppose you are now getting $40 per
month, as it is now the 18th year
since the stars fell.
81 am interested in reading poll
tics but not shouting for anybody.
81 didn't GO down to welcome the
Fleet -as some call it the Seattle
and Tacoma fleece. as they induced
40 many to 60.
His reminder to Judge Tucker that
cit is now seventy. five years since
the stars fell" refers to speech made
by the Judge many years ago in which
be fscetiously remarked that he was
born in the year in which the stars
fell but he didn't suppose his appear
ance upon this mundane sphere was the
cause of that celestial phenomenon.

Candidates Must Be
Qualified Electors

Mr.. and Mrs. Milo Smoots came
over from Anacortes Thursday. Mr..
Shoots has filed his declaration OF
candidacy for the office Of county
treasurer but may perhaps be Obliged
to withdraw it because Of having re-
sided in another county for the past
two years or more and having voted
there. though only In municipal
election. The direct primary Law
requires . candidate for office to
s'declare upon honor'' that be is
"a qualified voter" in the county at
the time Of filing his declaration. Il
did not occur to Mr., SmQots At tha
time Of filing bis declaration that
he might have lost his rights % an
elector In this county BY reason Of
his residence in Anacortes and that il
would be necessary for him to reside
in the county continuously for ninety
days before he could legally be CON-
sidered voter here. but such appears
to be the law. Mr.. Smoots is we'll
known In the county by reason Of his
long service az purssr on the steamer
Islander and he has large number
Of staunch friends. Acting upon the
advice Of some of them he makes
formal announcement Of his candidacy
in this issue of the islander and if the
legal question which has been raised
bars him from the race he will retire
gracefully and no harm will be done.

of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its com pOnent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
 In supplying that demand with it's ex- cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for it's remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get it's beneficial effects always buy the genuine-manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle
