A FLOATING AER0PLANE
Engineer in Great Britain Inventor
of the Latest Marvel OF
Air Craft.

London, Sept. 1S.-A floating aero.
plane-an "airship" in very literal
sense--will be the next development
in aviation, according to Stephen Mar
pies, engineer to the Aerial League of
the British Empire. No details of
the amphibious aeroplane are given,
beyond the promise that 1t will be able
to descend upon the water and rise
again when necessary, Mr.. Marbles
adds that such machine Is already
in existence, but 1t Is not yet ready
for public appearance.
II will probably be first seen during
the competition for the best aerial

was suggested that competing aero
plane should be required to be built
so it could descend upon the water
and reascend. This would be pre-.
caution of safety very desirable for 4

Elevation of Trout Lake Is Ample

For years the Islander has urged
the great Importance of providing a
gravity water system for Friday Har-
Dor and it was genuine pleasure
to be able to report last week that an
investigation of Trout lake as a source
of suEply was about to Ee made. Mr..
II. l.. Tibbals. of Port Townsend.
whom Mr.. S. M. Bugge had induced
to investigate the proposition, arrived
Monday and went Immediately to the
lake in company with Mr.. Bugge. Sec
retary Irwin. of the Commercial Club.
and W. II. McCrary. By means of
an anerold barometer the approximate
elevation of the surface of the lake
was found to be about 325 feet above
tidewater. which would insure q
strong pressure here, sufficient to
throw stream with considerable
force over the highest buildings in
town. The lake averages about 1850
feet in length by $50 feet in width.
Forty scundings gave depth of 27
feet aud the average is probably at
least 20 feet. By the construction

Western Fruit Growers
Fight Lafean Bill

A recent issue of The Ranch says:
'sThe fight over the Lafean bill is real
ly fight between the eastern and wes-
teru apple growers. The eastern
growers use a barrel almost exclusive
ly for packing their apples while the
western growers use box. The box
has proven to be the better method
and by far the better seller. but the
eastern growers do not desire change,
and knowing we'll that they canuot
compete with the western apple they
are making all the trouble possible
for their western competitors. The
action is unworthy the consideration
of congress. Western apple growers
mark each box with the number of
apples and the buyer can readily see
what he is getting The wonderful
success of the fruit business of Wash
ingtor and Oregon is due not only
to the fine fruit raised but to the
manner in which it is placed on the
market. The horticultural unions
will not allow q bad apple to 90 to
market or an apple with blemish
The buyer has learned what to expect
when be buys box of apples from
the Northwest. All the laws passed
ty congress cannot create market
for the eastern grower. but such law
as the LafeRn bill will cost the North
west apple grower loss impossible to
come law and the entire Pacific
coast representation in congress
should fight it to a finish.
