Close Call for Pile
Driver and Her Crew

As the tug Venture was crossing
the Straits of Fuca, Tuesday night en-
route to Seattle from this port, her
captain. Joseph Jensen, heard the dis
tress whistles of steamer when the
Venture was at point near the
Smiths island spit. On account of
the heavy fog. which hung over the
straits Captain Jensen was unable to
see the boat which was calling for
help but by steaming around for
short tine located the tug Halcyon,
Captain Wakefield, with a pile driv-
er. owned by the Apex Fish Company.
of Anacortes. in tow. The driver had
turned turtle in heavy sea and her
crew bad barely escaped a watery
grave.
The crew of the pile driver was
composed of John Lanterman. Engi-
neer Charles Lanterman, both we'll
known in this county. Fireman j. @.
Burns, Victor Herman. man named
Pierson, "Scotty." the cook. and
three others whose names we have
not been able to learn.
The crew were asleep when the tug
Halcyon, having the driver in tow
ran into the heavy seas about ten
miles this side of Port Townsend.
John Lenterman was the first to
waken. aroused Dy terrific crash.
The others we're routed out and boat
made ready and put off just in time
when a big wave struck the driver
and whirled it over upside down.
The cook, "Scotty'' failed to make
the boat, and was swept under.
Half drowned. he cIung to some rig
ging. and finally was picked up by
the Halcyon and taken aboard.
When the driver turned turtle. the
hammer came out of the gins and this
served good purpose. in that it it
helped to hold the overturned driver
and kept it from drifting ashore.
She was also dragging her anchors as
was also the tug Halcyon when they
we're picked up BY the tug Venture.
The Halcyon then cut loose from the
driver and went on her way to Ana
cortes and the Venture towed the
driver to Watmough head at the south
end of Lopez island. This delayed
the Venture some seven hours and it
was not till Wednesday forenoon that
she reached here. 1t will probably
he necessary to engage the services Of
another driver in order to right the
wrecked one. How badly she has
been damaged we have not been able
to learn.

Volcano of kilauea
As Seen At the Fair

In making thu moving picture film
showing the volcano of Kilauea in ac-
tion. the artist, Bonine. encountered
many difficulties. In the territorial
exhibit of Hawaii shown at the Alas
la -Yukon-Pacific Exposition, the big
scenic feature of the Hawaiian Islands
was necessarily included. The noted
moving picture artist was engaged
by the Government to secure set
of films showing the volcano just as
it appeared in action.
In doing this Mr.. Bonine had many
difficulties to overcome. The heat
near the crater is always intense. and
when the lava is flowing freely,a close
approach is nearly impossible. In
making the exposures. the camera
could not be kept in position for
longer time than one-half minute.
The heat would destroy the plate or
film and render it useless. The ar
tist envelope1 himself in covering
of asbestos, and the camera was pro-
tected by the same materiaal. By do
ing this and by making only these
very short exposures Mr.. Bonine by
his great patience, secured won-
derful set of pictures absolutely COR
rect in every detail.
Ir looking at them as they are run
through the moving picture machine
in the Hawaiian Building the repro
duction ct K K:lauea IN action is seen
perfectly and beautifully. From the
bottom of the crater the great streams
of molten lava are seen. rushing and
sureing about ths huge cauldron In
which the Goddess Pele makes her
home; the steam and sulphurous
smoke blows and drifts in clouds and
one looks on the greatest demonstra-
tion nature can present. The picture
requires twenty minutes IN present
ing, and required many weeks in
making.

The County School
Superintendency
To The Editor:

With all due respect for the coun
ty attorneys opinion, it may be said
that it is not easy for layman to un-
derstand by what process of reasoning
he reaches the conclusion that va
cancy exists in the Office Of county
superintendent of schools. Prof.
Joubert. who was duly elected to the
Office. filed his oath of Office and
his bond about the first of August and
the bond having been duly approved
his right to discharge the duties of
the position. either in person or by
deputy. would hardly seem to be open
to question. If he did not legally
qualify. there would be no vacancy,
for Miss Sweeney would hold over.
If he did legally qualify no vacancy
could reasonably be presumed to exist
by reason of removal from the county
until the expiration of the time of
continued absence fixed by law. prop
er provision having been made for
tuO u1SCudIRo VI Gu0 uutl05 vi GuO
office by a deputy. Prof. goubert
was absent from the county at the
time of his election but his family
resided here and continued to reside
here until the last of August. this
year. and he has not yet acquired le-
gal residence anywhere else. As il was
his reported intention to tender his
resignation for the commissioners to
act upon at their October meeting.
the calling of special meeting to
fill an alleged vacancy would seem to
be quite unnecessary. This view
of the matter may not be law but it
is common sense.
These remarks are not intended as
a criticism of Mr.. Morris. hit rather
of the law, presuming it to be the
law. which leads him to conclude that
a vacancy exists in the Office.

Lopez Island and
The A.-Y.-P. Booklet
Editor Islander:

Editor Islander:
At the county booth at the A. Y.
P. exposition few days ago. my at
tention was called to the fact that one
q. Carrothers. OF Lopez island. had been
permitted to indulge in one of his
characteristic croaks in the Weekly
Knocker about the Lopez representa-
tion at the Exposition. and especially
about the space allotted to that fertile
and attractive island in the little
booklet descriptive of the county. is
sued by authority OF the county COM
missioneIs, and which Carrothers
says "tfe commissioners paid o. H.
Culver good round sum for getting
OUT. He further says" :"Much space
is pictured with San Juan and Orcas
island scenery. while the little pic
ture of Buchanan's hay field is the
only drawing card assigned to Lopez
island. The smallest possible space
is given to describing the attractions
of our charming and productive is
land''
Now, few words AS to the facts:
Last April [ was asked to prepare
condensed "write-up" of the county
for publication in folder descriptive
Of the counties and cities of Puget
Sound to be published by gentlemen
connected with the publicity depart
ment of the A. Y. P. exposition. I
did so. without cent of recompense,
and the county received some very
valuable advertising through the dis
trlbntion of 100, 600 of these very at
| tractive and creditable folders. The
mltted to and heartily approved by
one of the oldest and best known tax
payers of that island, who has been
/ a highly respected citizen of the
county for thirty years or more and
prominent in public life. He was
unable. he said. TO suggest any change
! III tne matter written. The space at
our disposal being necessarily quite
limited. no extended description of
any particular locality could be given.
Some two or three months later l was
asked to prepare the reading matter
for the folder to be issuued by au-
thority of the commissioners. l did
not in the slightest manner solicit the
task but performed it cheerfully.
though 1t involved a considerable
amount of labor, for which [ neither
asked nor received any compensation
whatever. practically the whole amount
of the 'good round sum" of 5000
which the islander received being re-
quired, l am told. to pay the bare
cost of the publication. The Lopez
matter IN the county booklet is the
same as that used ia the folder first
mentioned, with some additions. and
minor changes in phraseology. Be-
fore publication. all the matter in
the booklet was submitted to and ap-
proved by the commissioner who was
authorized to have the work done,
and it may interest the public to
know that after publication the COM
missioners we're so we'll pleased with
the work that they Immediately plac-
ed an order for 1000 additional cop
les. The statement that there is only
one Lopez illustration in the booklet
| is not true. o. II. Culver.

Constitutional Prohibition Elsewhere

All told, 1914 liquor licenses have
been granted in the state of Maine this
this year. This is no roorback. 1t is
official intelligence obtained by United
States Marshal Pope NJ. Long from the
internal revenue office. AS each one
of the 1914 licenses pays about $25, it
is plain they are not in the business
for their health or for the purpose of
lessening Uncle Sans deficit. They
took out 1914 licenses in the state OF
Maine, which has had constitutional
prohibition over so years, simply and
solely because they were engaged and
expect to be engaged in the sale of
liquors. thus demonstrating once more
the ineffectiveness of constitutional
prohibition when public sentiment is
not locally lived up behind it.
Maine has but $4,000 population,
while Alabama is credited by the
World Almanac with 100000. This
state is three times more populous
than Maine, and on that basis we
would have S642 federal licenses TO
sell liquor under constitutional prohi-
bition, or a trife more than "a to a
county! And this is just what would
occur under constitutional prohibition.
The figures from Kansas and Iowa
would disclose a like condition of fed
eral licenses, but Marshal Long has
not published exact facts and figures
in those cases.
1t would puzzle even an amendment
to explain how constitu-
tional prohibition would prohibit in
Alabama when it does not in Maine
in the east, or in Iowa and Kansas in
the west.
