Blue headlands beckon enticingly,
mysteriously, directly ahead, faint
and yet fainter in tone as the per-

It does not take long for the un-
known to resolve itself into beauty.
Mt. Constitution looms high, as
rugged and well founded as its

where it got its name and round

Surely never were islands set
more advantageously for the seeker
after beauty, after health, after
rest or recreation than the San Juan
groups. They compare favorably
with the Thousand islands, the Gre
clan archipelago, Or the Orlmeys.
The ninety-two islands, varying
from two to thirty-six thousand
acres, have each their own individu-
ality. blending into the perfect
whole. The accessibility to the

each moment a pulse Of new life.
Never for a moment does enjoy

and high headlands, changing as
poets Of hill and valley, coves and
sandy beaches keep ones zest ever

Zone could spend weeks or even
months exploring the many beauties
Of the San Juan Islands. Campfres
can be made in some sheltered bay,
CLAIMS cooked Siwash fashion in the
hot ashes. Farm houses are hospit-
able. You can loaf, one day, with
scarce wind enough to move the
branching, languidly tropical ferns;
the next day brings spanking
breeze that will make the steamer
or yawl breast gallantly the waves.
Each day will give its particular
delight. One may be on San Juan,
where the English flag last floated
over American soil. You can still
see the blockhouse and part of the
stockade. Again one can view the
ruins Of the American camps where
Pickett famous for his gallant
charge at Gettysburg in 1859, in
the face Of two hundred British guns
and near to two thousand men made

camp on this island and to occupy

camped until the islands were ac-

States.

Washington has summer school to

Have You Planted
Flowers In The Yard?

/ IlOWeTS ln Inc Ydf0!
i The following taken from the edi-
torial columns Of the Inland Herald.
of June 6, published at Spokane.
only goes to show the interest mani
1 Tested in other communities in the.
matter of beautifying the home
| grounds. The Islander has urged
the Importance Of this for several
weeks and several have already fol-
lowed our suggestion. The Inland
Herald says:
Il Strolling through the residence
. section of Spokane, one occasionally
chances upon the ideal home, and to
really approach the ideal the home
must be surrounded by flowers. Of
ten the most inconsequential house,
tiny sometimes and more often far
from modern in architecture or fin
| ish, will attract attention when it
seems to be only the setting in q
garden Of roses. =
i 1t costs so little to give the home
an environment Of fragrance and
beauty, and the efforts become so
much Of pleasure, that one Won
ders why any person who has bit
of q yard, whether owned or leased,
should neglect to enhance the beau
| ty of its surroundings.
1T may be lack of knowledge
or merely neglect, but it seems q
shame that so many seeds must be
wasted each season in the stores when
only few cents and an hour or two
of the lightest toll will bring beau
tiful budding life into every door
yard.
Again, there seems something
stable and worth while about the
man or woman who plants flowers
and cares for them. There is some
thing Of the better sentiment ex-
pressed which arouses respect in.
Ieveryone. There is something 50
vital and interesting in plant life
that the flowers seem to be almost
animated.
The old-fashioned woman kept
4 her geraniums for many seasons,
fcutting new slip" from the mother
plant, watching all Of them grow
and attending to them with the same
j tenderness she would bestow upon
/ q child. A bit of flower in the VIM
dow, a garden of blossoms in sum-
mer somehow these helped give
the woman character and made
the home a cheerful place to be.
/ Every citizen Of Spokane should
plant flowers. If you don't know
how, any scotsman can tell you in I
few moments =
The Portland rose carnival has
been in full swing this week and
the report comes that the city has
been entertaining more than LOG, 900
visitors, many of them coming from
the far eastern states for no other
purpose than to see the beautiful
rose show. There is no good reason
why the home surroundings should
not be made as beautiful. It creates
an impression upon visitors that IS
lasting and the necessary expense
incurred by the grower is but :
trifle as compared with the pleasure
he gets out Of it, to say nothing Of
the benefits the town would receive.
It is not too late yet to do something
along this line. Don't allow your
yard to be filled up with unsightly
weeds that are sure to grow. H
| your home surroundings are made
beautiful your property is enhanced
| in value, and when the visitor leaves
q good word is always spoken for
the town.

State Administrations.

Seven years ago republican ad-
ministration came into power in this
state. Ii found an empty treasury. an
enormous debt. contracted moi for
any extraordinary emergency. bu;
simply for the running expenses OF
the state. and an almost complete
disorganization OF the departments OF
the state government.
The republican party was in pow
cr for six years. In that period the
treasury was filed. the debt was paid.
the dcnartments OF state were rcor-
gauized. new laws were enacted which
have been OF immense benefit. Il large
balance was accumulated. and when
the republicans went out. in January
of last year. the affairs OF the state
were in better condition than evcf
before. Graft and incompetcncy had
been wecdcd out. recklessness haC
been stopped. and n record had tceT
made which even the dmocrats cuult
