WHY THE LOPEZ LADIES
WERE LATE AT CONTEST

Editor Islander:
The Lopez people who we're to at
tend the Matrons' Silver Medal Con
test at Friday Harbor Monday night
seemed to have had the Fates against
them.
Some two weeks before Mr.. Stocker
had been engaged to take the party.
but New Years. day the storm drove
his launch onto the beach. after
breaking her anchor line, and among
other damage her rudder was broken.
and late Sunday afternoon it was
found that she would be unable to
make the trip Monday night.
When the City of Anacortes came
along Monday morning arrangements
we're made to have the Concordia
come for the party at Z p. M, but
Capt. briggs did not get tbs word
until quite late, and it was seven
thirty before the launch arrived.
Finally the party of about 80 we're
loaded and it .eemed we would soon
be on our way, but at once. almost.
she struck rock. ana there we stayed
for about half an hour. When at
last We got off some of the party want
ed to stay at home and so the launch
was stopped at the Lopez dock and
they were allowed to land. Once
more we were on our way, with the
thought that probably the people
would have got tired Of waiting and
gone home from the hall. but when

Misrepresentation As to
Transportation Facilities

1t is much to be regretted that the
Bellingham papers. while always pro-
Tossing to be solicitous for the well
fare of the people Of this county.
should persist in their mendacious
misrepresentation of the county's
transportation facilities and mail SER
vice. In the initial number of it's
excellent Sunday edition the Herald
of last Sunday has conspicuously
displayed article on the subject of
our boat service which is tissue OF
misrepresentation not easy to excuse.
In one par agrsph it says that vessels
from island points are scheduled to
arrive IN BellinRham ''early in the
morning at from 2 to O'Clock, ''and
in another it seeks to convey the i'm
preston that there is but one boat on
the route and that it affords "only an
alternate day service" 1t is discour-
aging to see such stuff printed, and
reiterated at not infrequent intervals,
in paper that might, if it we're so
render good service to the
people of this county and merit
their good will and support. It is q
narrow vision that looks upon our
fruitful islands only as trade field
to be exploited in the interest of nom
resident merchants and does not see
the Importance to the people of build
ing up industries and trade centers
of their own.

lion dollars. They are due primari-
ly to the work of commercial orRani-
zations, which went after them as
part of the program for community
building. In size and character. they
vary from a small dairy depot in the
Okanogan country to mammoth steel
plant on the Sound.
''In the prosecution of their work.
the commercial bodies spent more
than S400, 600 last year. the MAJOR por-
tion of which was for publicity. 1t
is doubtful if any state in the coun-
try can make letter showing. That
the Investment has been a good one
can be gathered from the fact that
53. 600 newcomers to the state are re-
ported. The greater number are due
directly to the advertising campaigns
conducted by organized commercial
forces. The prospects for even more
pronounced results during 1910 are
gratifying indeed from present outlook
"Club secretaries report having re-
ceived 225. 164 inquiries during the
year. These requests for informa-
tion about Washington and its oppor-
tunities are part of the harvest that
must be credited to the liberal use of
printers ink. They come from all
parts of the United States and many
of them are from persons residing in
foreign countries. The writers plain
ly indicate they are restless in their
old homes and want new field for
their abilities. Inquiry among fifty
Thousand who have located here indi-
cate that their attention was first
drawn to the state by magazine ad-
vertisement, booklet or pamphlet
issued by some commercial organiza-
tion.
"Unlimited are the powers for good
in commercial organization. as the
many answers received indicate. Re
plying to the question 'What notable
influence has your club had on the
community. the secretary of one of
the smallest units in the state said
ga power for good in securing i'm
provements and sitting public mat
ters.'
''The commercial clubs in smaller
towns have enlarged their usefulness
by reaching out and interesting rural
residents. They can work together
for their mutual benefit. Many visi
tors to the Alaska Yukon Pacific Ex-
position last summer wondered at
the rapid development of the North
west and Washington in particular.
"But the surface has only been
scratched. The possibilities for even
larger results are astonishing. Con-
sistent labors will develop surprises.
Germany with twice the area of Wash
ington, has almost forty times the
population. 1t is dou btful If any
part of the United States will ever
become as crowded as the Kaiser's
realm is today; but certain it is.
that the population of Washington
can easily stand an increase OF ten
or fifteen times what 1t now is. The
land and opportunities for that many |
people are here. and it will be up to
the commercial clubs of the future to
accomplish the desired results.
