ENGINEERS REPORT
Mr.. WHITNEY STRONGLY
fAYORS GRAVITY SYSTEM
Condemns Sportsman's Lake, But Favors
Trout Lake as an Ideal Source
Of Supply

Engineer H. A. Whitney, of Bell
ingham has submitted to the Mayor
and Council his report. It strongly
favors gravity system, condemns
Sportsman's lake, and is all in favor
of Trout lake as the source of supply.
He says:
: Trout lake scales on the map,
for and tsree-fourths miles from
The Post Office to the proposed dam,
in straight line. You can probably
pipe the above lake into town with
| five and three-fourths miles of pipe.
These figures were arrived at from
government map, your local maps
may show different, however. Trout
lake is situated in a rocky basin
and is fed from four fine mountain
streams. Your drainage area is
more than ample for a town of the
size of Friday Harbor. There is no
contamination on your water shed
and the appearance of the water is
excellent, however the lower end lies
in swamp which can be overcome as
soon as your dam is placed in the
outlet of the lake.
You have one of the best and most
economical propositions for a dam
that / have seen. There are two
rocky walls 100 feet high on either
side of thesoutlet of the lake. They
come together withia so feet and
a 4 or 5 foot dam can be very easily
constructed and the water led from
there to town.
By the construction of dam it is
possible to store a years supply OF
water and owing t., the steep banks
it will flood scarcely any property
adjacent to the lake shore. Should
you wish to filter your water, which
at this time will be- unnecessary you
can build filter below the dam, as
II explained to your committee.
Furthermore, your elevation is so
much higher in Trout lake, than in
Sportsman's lake that you will not
only be able to reach all parts of
your town with a good pressure, but
you will be able to have an ample
supply of water for fire protectio-
without the necessity of an accumu-
lating reservoir in the town.
In regard to the sizes of pipes to
use, would say that this cannot be
determined accurately until a sur
vey is made of the route from the
lakesto the town, but | would rec
ommend the equivalent, if within
your means, Of an 8 inch pipe. !
also would urge upon you to make
as substantial a system as possible
for your distribution from the
terminus of yoar proposed pipe line.
This you may place by a Local I'm
provement District"

Yours Very Truly,
H. A. Whitney.

10 Dog fanciers
Editor the Islander,
Dear Sir:

All who are inter
ested in dogs, whether owning one
or not, are urgently requested to
attend a meeting to be. held at the
Chamber of Commerce, Bellingham,
at 8 P. NJ. Friday. Jan. 5. 1912.
The main topic for discussion at
this meeting will be whether the
dog fanciers of Skagit, San Juan
and Whatcom counties shall give a
dog show this, coming Spring
Every admirer o. dogs. living in the
counties named, should be present.
A circuit Of dog shows. commenc-
ing at Victoria and ending at Port
land, will be held next Spring If
the North Counties Kennel club Sc
cures dates between the Vancouver
and Everett shows, it would be pos
sible to. secure all the dogs that will
be travelling over the entire circuit.
This would make the Northwest
circuit a championship circuit and
dogs securing Winners awards at
the five American shows would be-
come Champions Of record in the
American Kennel club. Pedigrees
are not required in order to show
dogs.
While the North Counties Kennel
Club originated in Bellingham, it is
not aimed to make it pure y lucal
institution. The cooperation Of the
three counties is desired. Nor does
it ecessarily follow that all the
shows must be held in Bellingnham.
Any city in the district offering the
greatest inducements is entitled to
consideration.
Will you please call the attention
of your readers to this, so we can
unite in making it a bowling sue
cess.
Very respectfully,
North Counties Kennel Club
by Ross Welch. Sec'y.

Ants live IN Social Unity

"Among certain species # bees.
ants and wasps are found curious
forms of highly developed social or
ganizations challenging comparison
with human society" said Prof
Trevor hincaid. of the department
Of zoology in a lecture delivered re-
Gently before the Social Democratic
Club at the University of Washing
ton.
The honey bee, with the marvel
Gus architecture of its comb, is a
purely automatic crerature," Pro-
fessor Kincaid explained, and our
chief interest lies with the common
ant. The nests are sometimes eight
feet across ana six or seven feet
high. They are proportionately.
much larger than the Pyramids, a
single nest containing 100000
ants. sS
"Ants from the same nest are
very kind to each other, but there is
a deadly enmity between different
nests Of the same species. An ant
will never refuse to feed hungry
brother.
''In California there is a wonder.
-ful ant known as the agricultural
ant, which builds its nest in little
clearing formed by cutting down
the grass. 1t mines into the soil
and forms cellars for the storing OF
grain. Prof. Kincaid showed on
the screen stereoptican view OF
one of the ants cutting seed from
a wild sunfower. "Ants would no
doubt be more highly developed but
for the handicap of having but one
finger on the hand" he said. They
must hold things in their mouths.

Want To farm A little Better?

Washington State College. Pull
man. Dec. IL. Most of the agricul-
tural colleges have winter courses
for farmers. These schools are be-
ing more and more generally atten-
ded by young men and women as
well as by farmers of mature years
and experience. They are planned
to come at the season Of the year
when farm work is least pressing,
and when trip away from home is
a welcome vacation.
Business men take their vacation
in the summer when their trade is
lightest and seek the recreation
which will best fit them for their
work during the rest of the year.
Why should not farmers take six
weeks at the winter school as a
profitable vacation?
The winter school at the State
College at Pullman is being planned
for this winter to be especially at
tractive. The courses are being ar
ranged so as to give six weeks +
thoroughly practical instruction:
In soil tillage and crop production.
In fruit growing. 49,
In live stock breeding and n,any
aeement.

In every bunker he asked his caddle
for advice. Shall try this stick or
that stick, caddie?' And after he had
stuck in one very sandy bunker for
half an hour. trying nearly every stick
in vain. he said as he fumbled help
lessly in his bag:

BOSTON, October 2S-The Permanent
International Bureau of Peace has. from
It's central office at Berne, addressed to
all the powers signatory to The Hague
conventions memorandum concerning
the Tripoi situation. The memorandum
says:
1t has been with sorrow and amaze
mcnt that we have seen the governments
one after another refuse to interest them
selves in the conflict which has just
arisen between Italy and Turkey
Without wishing to weigh the impor-
tance o. the grievances which We're in
voked to justify the unlooked-for and
sudden ultmatum which preceded hos
ti.ties. ii seems to us that the Italian
government failed seriously in its con-
tracts by acting as IL has done. We
consider that the governments ought to
call to its attention the fact that 1t failed
in the engagements to which ii sub
scrhed at the time of the two peace
conferences.
we address our most earnest prayer
To your government. as well as to all the
governments OF the powers signatory to
| The Hague conventions of 1899 and 1907
hat a collective effort may be made with
the Italian government in witness of the
desire of the peoples to assure religious
