Live Stock Sale to
Be Feature Of Fair

One of the features Of the second
annual Western Washington Fair,
to be held in Seattle next Septem-
Der, will be a live stock sale, to be
conducted under the asupices Of the
fair association during the closing
days of the fair. This sale will
be attended by live stock fanciers
from all over the northwest and
leading wholesale meat dealers Of
this section of the country have
promised to have representatives on
hand to snap up the fat cattle,
sheep and swine that have taken
part in the exhibition.
This live stock sale will afford
great opportunity to breeders and
farmers to obtain fancy prices for
their cattle this fall and will also
provide a means of meeting expen-
ses of exhibitors, especially in the
fat live stock departments. Prices
for live stock on the hoof have never
been as high in the history of the
northwest, and farmers who put in
especial care upon fattening animals
for the live stock show at the fair
will have chances to make nice
little cleanup on their exhibits, as
well as being saved the expense OF
returning their animals to their
farms.
In order to encourage the farm
ers and breeders of this part Of the
country to prepare exhibits for the
fair live stock show, the associa-
ton will offer number Of valuable
money premiums for the best ex-
hibits Of fat cattle in grades and
cross breeds. Steers and heifers,
from calves to three year olds, II
single and herd exhibits, come II
for these prizes, and there will be
many rich opportunities for fat
sheep and hogs under practically
the same conditions.
Growers Of farm produce have
not been forgotten and the associa-
ton will offer many rich prizes fo1
farm, individual, county and com
munity exhibits Of fruits, vege-
tables, grains and forage crops.
Some Of these prizes run to 800 in
value.
Applications for premium lists
should be made to Secretary Guy
Mel. Richards, Globe Building,
Seattle.

MAY BRING IN
WATER SUPPLY
LAKE TO Be SOURCE or SUPPLY
Gravity System Would Cost About $6 ,000
--Good Fire Protection and Plenty {
for Manufacturing Purposes

The Friday Harbor Commercial
Club has been working for some
time upon a proposition to bring
water in from Sportsman lake in or
der that the town may be afforded
ample fire protection, an adequate
supply obtained for manufacturing
purposes and for uses other than
domestic. The club has had sur
yey made in order to determine the
altitude of the lake, the distance
from Friday Harbor and the proba-
BILE cost of installing a gravity sys-
tenn. According to the surveyor s
notes the intake at the lake would
be 1910 feet above tidewater and
about so feet above the highest point
within the city limits, thereby af-
fording ample fall for a fairly good
pressure all over the town. The
distance is approximately three and
one-half miles and the only heavy
cut that would have to be made in
laying the mains would be one about
800 feet long and thirty feet deep.
According to a letter received by
Secretary L. ]. Irwin, of the com
mercial club, from a Seattle pipe
and supply house, the cost Of the
pipe for the main would be about
5000. This would be for a six
inch pipe a portion of the way and
a four inch pipe for the balance Of
the distance. 1t is also estimated
that the cost Of installing would be
about So, 900, making the total eli;
timated cost $6, 900. g
The lake covers an area of about
160 acres in section 33, Township SO
north, range 8 west. It. is quite
shallow in most places and during.
the dry summer months the water
falls so that the area covered is on
" about half what it is in the win
ter, but it is believed that the sup
ply would be ample during the
driest seasons for all purposes for
which the water might be used.
Owing to the shallowness Of the lake
and the probable amount of decayed
matter that the water contains it
would likely be unfit for domestic
uses, but this matters little for the
reason that there are SO many fine
wells in the town to supply this
demand.
An annual income of 81 ,05O has
virtually been guaranteed and it is
safe to assume that this amount
could easily be increased to 81 800,
or more, so it will be readily seen
that from a financial standpoint the
investment would be good one.
Owing to an inadequate supply Of
water for the industries that are al
ready established here there is lit
| tie to offer in way Of encourage
ment to new industries that might
locate here provided ample water
were to be had. It is the most ser
ious drawback we have had to- face
and the Islander hopes that the
Commercial Club may be successful

Mr.. McMILLIN ON
NEW MAIL SERVICE
ANA(ORIEs ROUTE 10 Bf We'll sHyD
Steam Schooner Secured for Vancouver
Tacoma Freight Service, Touch-
Ing Island Points

Hon. John s.. McMillin was IN
town for an hour Monday on his
way home to Roche Harbor from q
business trip to Seattle. Speaking
of the article in last weeks Island
er about the complaint of Port Stan
ley people concerning proposed
changes in the mail service, he said
that people residing along the pres
+ ent mail route between here and
Anacortes need have no fear that
their transportation facilities will
not be fully as good under the new
arrangement as they have been for
some years past. AS matter Of
fact, Z said Mr.. McMillin, Il believe
they will be very much better. The
service will probably be daily, in
stead Of tri-weekly. The steamer
which is likely to go on the route is
nearly new, reasonably fast, making
ten and half knots an hour, has
very nice passenger accommodations
and ample freight room for all the
business on the route. /" W
Mr.. McMillin laughed at the re-
port that the Morning Star would
not go on the Seattle Bellingham
route and that the new service
would be inaugurated, if at all, by
inferior boats. The new company
is not yet ready to advertise its
plans, said Mr.. McMillin. Il is
busy getting ready to inaugurate its
service and it will be the best SER

and the daily mail service will be

STATE SUPERINTENDENT CRAWFORD
PREDICTS GOOD RUN or SOCKFYf SALMON

4 ii
The 1910 sockeye season for Pu-
get Sound will be much larger than
the run four years ago and probably
the largest off season in the history
of the industry, according to State
Hatcheries Superintendent Jack
Crawford, who has made q study
Of the outputs Of hatcheries in
Washington and British Columbia.
Five years ago we predicted the
largest run in the history Of the IN
dustry for 1909 simply on the
strength Of the hatcheries output,
said Crawford.
In British Columbia four years
ago the hatcheries turned out an
unusual amount Of salmon fry and
this fall the run will be very heavy
for an off season. The run Of
springs will be heavy, as well as the
sockeye. 4

GERMANY PLANS
NAVY EXPANSION
REGARDLESS Of Cost, Empire Should
Continue Construction of War
ships at Same Time Increas-
inq Armament on Land

BERLIN, March 20-High Admiral
Won Roster, the president of the Ger
man Navy league, addressed meet
ing of the Bavarian branch OF the
league recently. His speech was di-
rected against the advocates of So
called "small" warfare, who contend
that the German admiralty should pay
more attention to the construction of
small vessels for defensive purposes
than to that of large ironclads. Admi-
raj Won Roster pointed out that Ger
many has greater aims than the mere
defense of her territory. She wishes to
expand, to find markets over seas for
her industries. to develop her colonies,
and to increase her mercantile marine;
and all this needs protection.
Everything points. declared the ad-
miral, to the necessity of increasing
the active strength of the navy, and
he concluded with the following ap-
peal: LET us continue to develop our
armament on land and on water in all
honor. 1t is costly, but it carries us
forward. After careful consideration,
the German people voted for the navy
act, and since it came into force our
national wealth has increased by at
least S., 000 900, ,000-that is, by $780, 000,-
900 a year, and our population by
5000, 900 souls. We have again become
great merchants, and you here in the
south of our fatherland have been
brought much closer to the seas which
unite everything"

MORE SECRECY AT POLLS
is PARLIAMENT'S PROBLEM
Senate Urged to Adopt PROPOSED Bal
lot Box Measure for Effect
at May Election

PARIS, March 20.-An important
measure. which has been before parlia-
ment for great many years and tho
principle of which has been adopted
four times by the chamber of deputies
and thrice by the senate, has been un-
der discussion in the upper house. The
bill in question provides for the adop-
ton of a completely secret ballot sys-
tenn in the case of general and munich
pal elections, and it is strongly sup
ported by the government. which. by
the mouth of the prime minister him
self has urged upon the senate the ne
cessity of adopting the measure with
out delay so that it may be applied
during the general election in May.
The senate voted in the first clause
of the bill, which enacts that the ballot
papers bearing the names of the can
didates shall be placed in sealed en-
velopes. 1t rejected the second clause,
in virtue of which each candidate Is
allowed to maintain in each polling
booth three delegates authorized to
watch the operations and to make a
final report upon them. Clause 8, which
obliges the elector to cast the envelope
containing his vote into a ballot box
placed in a portion of the room so ar
ranged that no one can see him, is still
under consideration.

Members of Maternity Cottage Asso-
citation Will Meet and Review
Charitable Work Performed
in Past Year

The Women's Alliance Maternity
Cottage association will hold its an
nual meeting at the Chamber of
Commerce building on Tuesday even
ing, March %, at o'clock. At this
meeting II report will be given of what
the maternity cottage 127 South fllll
street, has accomplished during the
past year and plans will be formulated
for the future. All those Interested In
the work are invited to he present.
The Womcns alliance maintains the
maternity cottage, which for three
years has ministered to the distressed
mothers of the city. 1t was incorpo-
rated in April, 1909, and by its work
has proved the necessity of such an in
stitution In Los Angeles. Seventy
cases have been cared for during the
past year. Last May, owing to the
growth of the work and the need of
larger quarters. the premises now oc-
cuped by the institution on South Hill
street were purchased for $4,000, the
terms being $3.50 cash and the remain
der at the rate of $40 a month.
The women in charge have expressed
their need of monthly or yearly cash
contributions. or contributions of any
nature, including donations of second
hand clothing and articles for their
store. In this store everything is sold
for a nominal price, so as to eliminate
the idea of charity. yet from this
source the maternity home has received
from $40 to $50 month. Subscriptions
will be received by the president, Mrs.

SON ACCUSED OF

AGED MAN ATTACKED WITH A
WAGON SPOKE
Dispute over kindIing for Kitchen
Stove Followed by Charges
Being Made Against Youth
by Father

Accused Of brutally boating his aged
father with a spoke of a wagon wheel,
Joseph Welsh, 10 years old, was ar
rested by the police yesterday on a
charge of battery and locked up in
the city Jail. In the same patrol
wagon that conveyed the young man
to the police station the father, Thorn
as Welsh, 81 years old, was taken to
the receiving hospital.
The elder Welsh, who was bleeding
from numerous decorations and con-
tusions on his face and head, told the
police surgeons he went to his home
at 1925 Maud street after performing
his duty as night watchman for the
Los Angeles Railway company and
asked his son to bring in some kind
ling with which to start fire in the
kitchen stove. According to the state
ment of the old man, the boy refused
TO obey and when again requested to
perform the work, rebelled, seized q
piece of spoke and attacked him
Welsh said he attempted to ward off
the blows, but being quite feeble was
unable to successfully resist the at
tack and was beaten brutally before
the other members of the family came
to his assistance.
Young Welsh denies he refused to
obey the request of his father. He
declared the old man came home in an
intoxicated condition and began to
abuse members of the family. The
son declared Welsh attempted to at
tack him and he seized the club and
struck him in self defense.
After the injured man was treated
by the police surgeons he said he
would swear to complaint against
his unruly son.

Candidate for United States Senator
ship Declares Public Demands
Complete Overthrow of Rail-
road Domination in State

Judge D. Works, president of the
city council, will resign from the city
legislative body at its session Tuesday
and week later will begin his cam
paign as the candidate of the Lincoln
Roosevelt league to succeed Frank L.
Flint.
In company with Hiram w. John
son and A. j. Wallace, the leagues
candidates for governor and lieutenant
governor, respectively, Judge Works
Will stump the state, placing the issue
of Lincoln Roosevelt Republicanism
versus Southern Pacific Republican
ism before the voters for consideration
at the primary elections in August.
In speaking of his campaign, Judge
Works said yesterday in an interview
at his home at 2720 Normandie avenue:
"As candidate for the senate L will
stand for the establishment of fed
eral steamship line between California
ports and the isthmus, the necessity
for which has aroused the public to
consideration of the status of the
Southern Pacific railroad in California
politics.
THE public now demands the over
throw of the corrupt Southern Pacifc
political machine which for thirty
years has systematically exploited Cal
ifornia and the people of the state, and
the campaign. although the primaries
are still five months away.
One Man Controls
During the control of the Southern
Pacific the politics of the state has
been under the domination of one man,
who at the behest of the railroad has,
at times used each of the old parties,
without fear OF successful opposition,
as hest suit his convenience.
at Is matter of common report
that the existing steamship line to the
isthmus, under the control of the
Southern Pacific has refused thousands
Of tons of freight, thus forcing its ship
ment by rail, at the some time claim
ing to operate under a loss The eX-
ploitation of the state was so success
ful that for many years California was
contemptuously referred to as the
Southern Pacific's plantation out west ,
'It was to combat this grinding
monopoly, which exacted It's pound of
flesh from every California industry,
that the Lincoln Roosevelt league was
organized by honest Republicans, who
blushed at the debasement of the
party traditions by the corrupt ring
which controlled the politics OF the
state.
"The success of the league at the
polls two years ago, in its first cam
paign, surprised its most ardent sup
porters and is responsible for the great
interest shown by the public In this
years campaign. making 1t necessary
to start at an unusually long period
before the election.
"Mr. Johnson, Mr.. Wallace and my
self will begin our campaign with a
months tour of the northern towns,
and will be on the stump practically
all of the time before the primaries In
August, and will endeavor TO visit
every community I'm the state"
