Four of these buildings are per-
manent aud will be used by the Uni

The Great A.-Y.-P. Exposition
And San Juan County's Exhibit

space was allotted to this county
than our representative thought he
could fill, so he relinquished some OF
it to Skagit and Whatcom. which was
a mistake as he says himself, for the
exhibit is too crowded. Mr.. Court
could have used considerably more
space to good advantage. SkaRit
county has made good use of it's space
but Whatcom county makes very
poor showing of its great resources
and industries.
stThe PAY Streak, the amusement
section, is better as whole than
.sthe Trall'' was at Portland. There
ar. of course some features that have
little or no merit but there are
numb of attracti ons that are both
instructive and entertaining and are
we'll worth the cost of admission. This
is particularly true of the Esquimau
village. at the head of the "Pay
Streak" and the Igorrote village
further down. The battle of the
Merrimac and Monitor and the pan
Drama of the battle of Gettysburg,
more expensive attractions. are also
highly commended. OF the purely
amusement features the Scenic rail-
way is perhaps the most popular.
The ssStreax' is a good show in itself
and the illumination Of the grounds
and buildings and Cascades ut night
is most beautiful.

The PUGET SOUND MARINE STATION

On Monday, June 81, the Puget
Sound Marine Station began It's sum-
mer work at Friday Harbor, occupy
ing for this year grounds and build
ings donated for the season by Capt.
Newhall.
Ihe school continues the work be
gun i've years ago by the University
OF Washington when representatives of
TIE different educational institutions
OF the northwest were invited to meet
with the University people on the
grounds occupied by the Station this
summer.
Professor Kincaid, who is thorough
ly familiar with the whole Puget
Sound region was in charge and the
location of the station at this point
was decided upon after careful sur
vey of the various regions OF abundant
lite in the sound. DR.. Frye, also of
the University has from the begin
ming been identified with the botanical
side of the work and and has been
untiring in his efforts to build up
strong institution for study and re-
search on both marine and land plants.
/ During the FIVE years the survey of
tie region has been carried on care
fully and large amount of material
has been collected and number of
specialists are at work on the animals
and plants gathered. Besides this the
station has given an impetus to all
the science work in the schools of the
state on account of the opportunity
offered here for the training Of teach
ers. the collecting of class material,
and the supplying of museum material
to the various schools.
For this summer the University de-
string to increase the usefulness of
the station proposed a plan of organ
ration of station which should be a
comparative one, and in which all the
institutions of higher education in
the northwest should be invited to
'ssig.s Ana to 1have voice in tne7rocrv-
duct of its affairs and assist in the
work of instruction These plans
have in large measure been carried
out and there are present at the sta
tion now representatives of some eight
different institutions and more are
expected later.
Heretofore the expenses of the sta
tion have been in large part paid from
the funds of the state University. This
year the State College of Washington
has united with the University and
will bear portion of the expense
from It's funds. The educational part
of the station this year is in charge
of DR.. H. S. Brode. professor of Biol
ogy at Whitman College. DR.. Brode
has an acquaintance with the life of
the Sound region extending over a
period of ten years, and he has been
active in his cooperation with the
station since its founding.
More courses are offered this year
than ever before and practically all

More From Mr.. Armstrong

Editor Islander : AS a critic you
certainly ought to wear the ribbon,
on the article relative to the launch
war. You say the merchants had no
part in legislation against the Par
cells Post. Do you presume to know
the instructions those merchants gave,
the makers of the law? II you do,
you may be correct. You say we
should be-you mean we are-en
deavoring to build up Friday Harbo-
and the great mail order houses.
Again. you say, have false i'm
preston unless l refer to consumers,
as those that don't pay for what they
do consume Why. bless your soul. are
you not aware that the consumer that
does pay. pays the bill for the other
fellow? How true are your words
that the fewer accounts lost by the
merchant the closer margin he car
sell upon. thus proving the truth of
what | have said above. Lastly, as to
the joke on the peddler. think if
some of our merchants had been on
exhibition in a booth tbs last year,
they would have out-stripped the
poor. tired peddler financially.
Will you please give the people
some information as to the origin of
the instructions given the Council
and the City Attorney In reference to
drawing an ordinance regulating trav
cling stores and paying bonuses to do
business in Friday Harbor for term
of less than six months.
There are some people in San Juan
County who do not live in Friday
Harbor.
Yours for a square deal,
H. A. Armstrong.

FORUMS NARROW ESCAPE


The Minor Teller started a fight on
the question OF fees for county officers.
The Forum endorsed The Teller's posi-
tion and wished the editor good luck
and-things like that. This brought a
column roast in The Teller-because
more space was not given. In this
call down there was one sentence of
twenty-seven lines without a period.
The Forum shudders over what would
have been it's fate-had 1t either an
tagonized The Teller manor entirely
ignored his first article.
For the benefit of Editor Fyles, how
ever, The Forum might say that it has
frequently called attention to the
abuses which he rightly attacks. It
has done so-not only in county mat
ters-but in state affairs. One of the
most prominent cases being that Of
the fee grab OF Superintendent of
Public Instruction Stoclxwell.
The Forum regarded Mr.. Fyle"s eff
fort as praiseworthy but never thought
that he believed it an original invest
igation-or that he made a discovery
Of facts with which most public men
had not long been familiar.
The Forum feels an appreciation of
The Teller's publicity OF the fact that

North Dakota Political Gossip

Michigan Arena: WIN the advocates
OF Gronna, the reformer--and reformed
(?)---explain away the mileage book
system of petty bribery practiced in
the campaigns OF 1906 and 1908? The
misguided few who believe in the in
tegrity OF the Nelson county politician
have a right to be informed as the
devious paths which led 20 Gronna's
greatness. To be appointed distributor
Of mileage for great railroad system
is an honor not lightly conferred
and II is to be regretted by all with
an itch for travel that Gronna's spite
with Mckenzie ruined the precious
graft. Many Nelson county heelers
OF the congressman will mournfully
recall the halycon days OF yore-when
Great Northern and Northern Pacific

changeth, the golden days evanish, and
the quaking shadow Of an overgrown
and presumptious ambition falls cold
ly upon q proletariat bereft Of bene-
factor who carried corporate privileges
within the hollow of his lavish hand.

DIPHTHERIA EPIDEMIC

Ever since Moses started in the
swspaper business-there have beer
her men who felt quite certain they
auld run the work better than the
men engaged in it. Unfortunately In
many cases they were right-but there
have been times when the self appoint
ed men demonstrated their own inabiI-
ity.
1t appears that the newspaper bus
mess is not the only one in which
others can give the regulars a few
pointers. At the city council meeting
w. ]. Price gave the members-and in
eidentally the physicians-some point
ers on diphtheria epidemics.
Me. Price has never posed as a
medic. but at that he may know more
about diphtheria than some of the peo-
pie who are wearing DIR" before their
names. II this theory is correct his
/, Investigations should be good for the
plumbers. There is a shortage OF
plumbers and the employers have diff
ficulty in getting as many men as they
need-so it is unlikely Mr.. Price will
be charged with selfish motives or an
attempt to work up more business.
Eminent authorities differ on the
causes and the treatment of diphtheria
cases. Some insist 1t is due to bad
odors from sewers through defective
plumbing or other causes. There are
! other who attribute the spread of the
disease to lack of proper quarantine
regulations.
1t is asserted that patients not only
scatters the disease broadcast and in
oculate those with whom they come in
contact during the virulent period, but
for days and weeks after they have
been pronounced cured. There are
many leading physicians who insist
that patients threatened with diphthe-
ria should be placed in quarantine

and kept there till repeated examin-
ations indicate they have entirely re-

TO OPEN INDIAN LANDS.
Rep. BurEe's Bill Will Make 1,500, 900
Acres Available.

Washington, Dec. S.-Bills were pre-.
s-nted in the house today by Repre-
senta tive c. I'll. Burke of South Da-
kota, the new chairman of the COM
mittee on Indian affairs, opening to
settlement approximately l. 500, 900
acres in the Pine Ridge and Rosebud
reservations in South Dakota The
bills contain a provision reserving cer-
tain timber lands. They direct that ten
acres in each townsite shall be reserved
for public purposes. and that 20 per
cent of the proceeds of the sale Of pub
lie lands be set aside and expended for
the construction of schoolhouses and
other public buildings. Mr.. Burke also
introduced bill. amending the Burke
act" of May. 1906. which provides for
the determining OF the affairs or de-
ceased Indians, through the interior
department, and that land of deceased
Indians that are sold on allotment shall
be cancelled and q patent issued to the
purchaser. This changes the practice
Of administering estates In the probate
courts, and lands being conveyed by
the Indians heirs executing deeds The
bill further provides that the proceeds
from the sale Of inherited lands may
be expended or invested by the secre-
tary Of the interior as he may deter
mine to be for the best interest OF the
Indians
Another important provision Is that

and which, thus suspended from the
main cages or lifts were drawn up
and down between the two veins. The
main entrance to the third vein was
by the cage which operated only be-
tween the second and third veins in the
combined escape and air shafts II
was in this shaft, cut OF from the air
shaft only by thin wood partition,
| that practically all the work of the
lower vein was done.
On this cage the men were taken
back and forth the coal mined in the
lower vein was brought up, rolled off
the cage at the second vein, hauled
around the haulways to the main shaft,
reloaded on the large cages and so
taken aboev ground. Another charge
the miners are making is that the
stairway in the escape shaft reached
only to the top or roof OF the third
vein, and was reached by means OF
a twenty foot ladder. The officials. say
that such means Of egress would be
useless in times of stress or panic.

Cherry, ILL.,, Dec. S.--Just what con-
stitutes the main shaft of a mine
whether 1t be shaft little used or
one by which the main work is carried
on will have an important bearing in
fixing the responsibility for the re-
cent mine horror. Direct. charges that
the intent of the law, which provides
| that the air shaft ofga mine must be
removed from the main shaft at least
distance of 300 feet, was violated
have been made by the officials of
the United Mine Workers of America.
1t is also charged that the company
violated the law in building stair
way of wood.
One of the most important causes Of
the disaster, 1T is alleged lay in the
use of the two shafts In the Cherry
mine. The shaft, although sunk to
the level of the third vein was not
used as a main shaft below the Sec
ond vein. The only means of access
to the third vein by way OF the main
shaft lay in g. small cage which was
