Con laporte Drowned
Sunday Morning

Con Laporte, we'll known younp
man OF Waldron. island. was drowned
few minutes before six o'clock last
Sunday morning. just off the southern
point of Orcas island, having fallen
from the "house'' of tle gasoline
steamer City of Anacortes. which was
enroute to Waldron and Friday Har-
bor with nearly fifty passengers who
had attended dance at Orcas. When
the boat left Orcas about five o'clock
several of the men passengers were in
toxicated and Laporte was so drunk
that he was unable to walk and had
to be carried on board by his com
panions, who laid him down in a
skif on top of the ''house,' one of
them remaining to watch him. It
WAS very dark and so sold that soon
after passing through Pole pass the
watcher went to the pilot house to
ask Capt. Fullerton if Laporte could
not be brought there and put in the
masters bunk, privilege which
Capt. Fullerton refused. While the
two men we're discussing the matter
the cry of ssman overheard" was
beard. The launch was quickly put
about and the small boat vas put off
with two men in it. who rowed about
the vicinity for three quarters of AN
honnr without finding any trace of the
missing man. 1t is believed that he
must have struck the guard rail when
be rolled off the house and that he
was probably stunned before striking
the water 50 that he was unable to
help himeslf or to make any outcry
to guide the men who we're looking
for him in the darkness.
He was son of Mrs. John Kertu-
la,sof Waldron, and was about q
years of age.

10 Investigate Trout
Lake Water Supply

Through the efforts of s. NJ. Bug
Re, Mr.. III. l.. Tibbals. one OF the
most prominent citizens of Port
Townsend, accompanied by comps-
tent engineer, will be here next week
to investigate the question of furnish.
ing gravity water system here, with
Trout lake as the source of supply.
The elevation of the lake will be as
certained and the amount of water
which can be obtained from it esti-
mated. Also a preliminary survey
will be made 10 determine the approx.
innate length of pipe line, upon
which to base an estimate of cost.
If the elevation and supply are found
adequate, Mr.. BuRge says that Mr..
Tibbals. representing San Francis
co capitalist. will ask for franchise
for the construction and operation of
q water system, which is the towns
greatest need.
Trout lake. though not large in
area, is quite deep and 1t Is said that
the level could be raised consider
ably. adding greatly to the water vol
ume, without much cost, b. the con-
struction of a dam at the outlet.
The lake is meandered and the shore
lands are owned by e. V. Cowell, of
San Francisco. The distance from
here to the lake. in direct line, 10
q little over FIVE miles.
An adequate water supply for man.
ufacturing purposes and fire proteo-
tion would be of incalculable benefit
to this place. Without it little or
no expansion of the enterprises al
ready established on the water 'front.'
is possible, nor can any new ones be
expected. With it the capacity Of
the Western Mills, for instance, could
be profitably quadrupled and y bust
ness built up that would furnish
steady employment to 100 men or
more. There would be room for one
or more new mills for the manufac-
ture Of shingles and boxesand . large
4fruit, -egetable ana sne1fzn znsh caunery
could be successfully operated. In
surance rates would be greatly re-
duced, the town beautif1ed and its
growth wonderfully stimulated by
good gravity system. And it would
be q profitable investment. The pres
ent cost of water to the industries al
ready established here is equivalent
to fair interest upon the probable
cost of bringing water from Trout
lake. 1t is greatly to be hoped that
the project will be found feasible and
that no one will place the. slightest
obstacle in the way of its accomplish
ment.

Mr. Shull, ''the man, whose name

to sell the county lot OF steel cul-
verts, one or two carloads, for roads.

with which to make such purchase

be advisable even if we had the mon

pretty plainly, trying to make him

I had previously written the firm that
it would be quite useless for him to
