What is there about the islands OF
San Juan county which makes man
think be owrs good part of the earth
when he gets hold of little piece of
one of these gems of the Sound? There
is no place in the state where it Is 80
hard to buy property. People hate
to let go of their possessions OIL the
islands. A property owner will Tx
a price on his holding and when a
man goes to take him up he finds that
the price has been jumped several
hundred per cent. We know of one
case where the price of place has
gone from 81, 200 to 5000. with
in the short space of one year. The
most notable instance OF rapid in
crease comes from Orcas Island. One
DR.. Hilton, a public spirited gent of
Seattle. owns forty acres of land on
top of Mt. Constitution. He wanted
the state to have this land for park
site and was willing to almost donate
1t for that purpose. Senator Blair
introduced bill appropriating So
600 for making the purchase. This
bill was about to pass when the gener-
GUS doctor announced that the price
of the land had grown to $40. 900
over night. He will probably be al
lowed to keep his little old park and
may fence it in. The country is full
of just such public spirited citizens as

Mt. Constitution is one of the chief
scenic attractions of the county and
every citizen should be interested in
improving the roads leading to its

If it is true that the growing of
two blades of grass where but one
grew formerly is benefit to man
kind. it is an equal benefit to have
one grow where none grew before. 1t
is this which irrigation does in large
sections of our land where the soil,
naturally fertile. has remained bar
rem waste because of the absence of
moisture. The irrigation bitches
carrying we'll nigh an unlimited sup
ply of water from the mountains are
retaining and making fruitful vast
areas of land that are surely becoming
the abode of many thousands of in
dustrious and prosperous people.

Apparently we'll grounded complaint
is made that large sums of money SUBJ
scribed for the Italian earthquake suf-
ferers have been appropriated by dis
honest officials instead of being ap-
piled to relieve the unfortunate vic
Tins. It is a sad fact that relief
fund for any cause is seldom or never
raised without some scandal arisin g
in connection with it's distribution.
People must be inhuman and deprav
ed in the extreme who will steal mon
ey and provisions donated to help the
sufferers from earthquakes, floods and
fire.

Friday Harbor's new license law
provides that saloons shall remain
closed between the hours of IL o. m.
and 6 a. m. This is not such a great
hardship. For twenty years Eureka.
California, has had similar law and
that is seaport town of some fifteen
or twenty thousand people. The mill
owners and other employers of labor
had this ordinance passed and it re-
suited in the men showing up sober
for work in the morning. The Sun
day law is not observed In Eureka
but the closing hour law is strictly
enforced. = Bellingham American.

Funeral Of Thomas Dallas.

The funeral of the late Thom as Dallas, who was killed at his camp about twelve miles above Clifton last Friday afternoon, occurred from the Pascoe undertaking parlors Tuesday afternoon. MT. Dallas was one of our old timers and the funeral was con ducted under the old timers league formed specially for the purpose. Among the old land marks and per sonal friends of deceased who acted as pail bearers were Henry Hill, w. c. Blank, Thomas Smith, John Vel ton, Lee Hobbs and L. F. Sweating. The funeral procession, which was an unusually large one, was made up of many men with aching hearts over the sad fate which their old comrade had met.
 He has always lived the life of the characteristic prospeCtor, was man of sterling worth and was never known to harm a fellow man during his Cal eer in this territory, which dates back to 1883, when he first ar rived in this district from Silver City, N. NJ. He was IS years of age at the time of his death and has resided at his cabin uI the Frisco river many years, looking after his mining claims and a few cattle and horses.
 His life and sterling friendship will ever be sweet memory in the minds of the many oldtimers who claim ed him as one of their number. May he rest in peace.

A WARM WELCOME
Is Extended James COIquhOun and His
 Wife When They Arrived in Clifton.

The arrival of MT. and Mrs. James Colquhoun in Clifton on a special
 train last Monday afternoon was
 heralded by the blowing of whistles, the booming of dynamite and the sweet melodies of the Clifton band. There were at least 400 anxious friends at the depot waiting for the opportunity to greet the distinguish ed guests, and when the train stop ped at the depot MT. and Mrs. Colqu- houn were detained thirty minutes by those who extended a personal wei come.
 Never in the history of Clifton was visitor extended such a warm vel come and MT. and Mrs. Colquhoun were so overcome with joy that tears of gratitude crept into their eyes and trickled down their cheeks. Among the people present were many of the old time Americans and Mexicans who were employed with the Arizona Copper company when MT. Colquhoun first took charge of the works as gem eral manager years ago.
 To go over MT. Colquhoun's history during his residence in this district is not necessary, as it is already known to every person residing here at the present date. He was beyond doubt the most popular Superlntend- ent and general manager, both with the stockholders of the company and its employees, that ever served in this district.
 MT. and Mrs. Colquhouu, who now reside in Scotland, were on their way east when they stopped off at Clifton and only remained here until We'd nesday morning, when they departed again. Mrs. Colquhoun will journey to her home in Scotland, while MT. Colquhoun will spend a short time in Mexico on business, and will return to Clifton in about ten days, when he will visit the entire Cliftnn-Morenc district. On Tuesday morning they were serenaded by the Mexican band on behalf of the Mexican population of Clifton.
 Both Mir. and Mrs. Colquhoun were entertained by friends and their stay here was made as pleasant as possi- ble. Mrs. Colquhoun, who remembers the school children annually with Christmas gifts, is dear to the hearts of the little folks, many of whom have learned to love Ter through these gifts.

War Between the High School and North
 Clifton School.

On last Saturday afternoon the ball players of the North Clifton and Clifton Union High schools met on the local diamond with the result that the former team completely outclassed the latter by a score of 19-S. There was considerable feeling between the principals of the two schools and the professor of the North Clifton school was so deeply interested that he took part in the game himself. The professor of the high school spent his time in coach ing, but his team fell in defeat and for a time it seemed as though the game would be contested on account of the playing of the professor. However, it was decided that the grievance should be settled on the diamond at a future date and the principal of the high school is now busy getting in shape so he can take a hand in the next game himself. These ball games are most interest ing features between the schools.

Quong Waugh, the Clifton China man, who owns the Central Kitchen building and laundry on East Side, was tried in the U. s. court at Tue son last week and ordered deported back to his native land. Quong had his citizenship papers, but he was de- ported because he lived in this coun- try as a laborer and visited China under the pretense of a merchant. As only Chinese merchants have right to visit their native land and return to this country, Quong could not prove that he was ever a mer- chant, consequently he had to go back.

Since the board of supervisors passed an order that prisoners of the Clifton and Moreuci jails should be taken out and exercised on the county roads, thereby earning their board, a large number of the old time jail birds have decided to be good. For some time it has been surmised that many of the Mexicans committed misdemeanors because they wanted the county to feed them.
