Important Road Matter Settled

After many years of controversy
and oft repeated efforts to secure a
public road across the fine Bailer
farm in the San Juan valley, cross
ing also the Archie Fleming, Erick-
son and Doyle farms the matter was
amicably settled at this weeks ses-
sion of the commissioners. Mr.. Bail
er, who has heretofore objected to
the road, granting right of way in
consideration Of 500 as damages
and an agreement on the part of the
county to fence both sides of the
road across his property The new
road will connect with the main
highway across the island close by
the school house on the hill. 1t is
said that while the grade will not be
very heavy considerable amount Of
expensive rock work will be neces-
sary.

and Robbed in San francisco

A San Francisco dispatch of Dec.
q says: "John A. Edwards, giving
his home as Roche Harbor, Wash.
and claiming to be the private Sec
etary of the governor of Washington,
was found on the street here early
today in a semi-conscious condition.
He was removed to the emergency
hospital by a patrolman, and on
recovering his senses there told the
attending steward that he had been
slugged and robbed Of money and
jewelry to the value of $780,"
An Olympia despatch of the same
date says that the man is not known
at the governors office or at the
state house.
He has been in the employ of the
Roche Harbor Lime Co. and at the
time of the robbery he was in San
francisco on vacation. It is ex-
pected that he will return to Roche
Harbor soon.

County Treasurer
MakS Fine Showing

The real and personal tax rolls for
the year 1909, as turned over to the
county treasurer, showed the total
amount of taxes as assessed and
equalized by the board of county
commissioners to be $5O,85O. 90.
Out of this amount County Treasur-
er Mash reports collections amount
ing to 47,4O2.45, leaving a delin-
quency for that year of only $3,-
447.45. Approximately 100000
of the delinquent tax is assessed a.
gainst the fish companies operating
traps in the waters of this county
and according to recent ruling of
Judge Joiner this cannot be collect
ed. The traps are assessed as per-
sonal property and Judge Joiner
holds that the taxes are due and pay
able in the counties where the head
offices of the fish companies are To-
Gated. The case tried to test this
point was that of San Juan County
VS.. w. A. Lowman, of Anacortes.
Other companies assessed on traps
located in this county but having
offices in other counties are Pacicfi
American Fisheries, E. A. Sims. San
Juan Co., and the Apex Fish Co.
The treasurer will likely be instruct
ed to cancel this amount from the
rolls and if this is done the books
will show a delinquency of only 81,
447.45 and upon which interest can
be collected. The Islander ventures
the opinion that there is not another
county in the state that can show
so small a percentage of delinquency.

The ''Dryness" of DRY" States

When the publication of the In
ternal Revenue Commissioners re-
port revealed the fact that more in
toxicating liquor by many millions
of gallons had been produced and
consumed in the United States dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30,
1901, than during the preceding
twelve months. some of the liquor
papers hailed the figures as proof
that prohibitory laws really tend to
increase the consumption of alcoholic
beverages, especially the stronger
spirits. In reply The American
Issue (Columbus). organ of the Ohio
Anti-Saloon League, undertakes to
demonstrate by a detailed analysis
OF the commissioners report, "the
utter foolishness and absurdity of
such a theory" The statistics show
that the amount Of distilled spirits
produced in the United States during
the fiscal year 1910 was 156, ,237 ,526
gallons, an increase Of 22, ,786, III
gallons over the amount for 1909.
The amount of distilled spirits with
drawn for consumption in 1910 was
126, 1884 ,726, an increase of II, ,69l, )
148 gallons over 1909. The amount
of fermented liquors withdrawn
for consumption also showed an in
crease of 3,181,62O barrels. The
American Issue believes that the
figures of the internal revenue re-
port simply show that the continued
decrease in the consumption OF In
toxicants in the prohibition states
has been.more than counterbalanced
by q larger increase in the license
states.

City Mans Interest in
Agricultural Training

Three families to each farm is the
case in the United States today
one on the farm and two in town.
but all dependent on the farm. Two
generations ago nearly everybody
lived on the land and it was the look
out of each family how they worked
the land. Now with two-thirds OF
the people in town, it not only con-
Germs the men on the farm whether
the crop is good or not, but also the
man in town who is dependent on
the produce Of the land for his living.
Whether the crop be poor or good
really affects the city man more than
it does the farmer who can keep out
enough for himself. If there is no
surplus it is not hard to see who
will suffer most, says the Arkansas
Valley Farmer.
AS long as the farmer can only
make the soil produce one-third OF
what it is capable SO long must our
manufacturing, transportation, mer-
chandizing and banking remain at
approximately one-third of what it
would be, and Largely for lack Of
special training for his work on the
part of the farmer.
Who is most interested in the
man who tills the soil being trained
for his work? Without doubt it is
the man in the city. He is the one
who should be the most insistent on
agriculture being taught in the pub
lie schools, and that the agricultural
colleges be given liberal support.

The average number of cows to each
dairy is a trif1e under 13. In this
county the average is approximately
ten. tbs noticeable that this county
has a good many more cows and a
considerably larger number of dair-
les than number of other counties
in which there are several creamer-
les. In Jefferson county, for in
stance, with only IS dairies and 981
cows, as compared with 141 dairies
and 1404 cows in this county, there

best in the state. Thurston county,
with only 68 dairies and 987 cows,

PRESIDENT URGES
SALARY INCREASE
FOR THE JUDICIARY
Addresses the American Bar
Association At Boston
Meeting.

BOSTON. Aug. a.-Addressing the
members Of the American Bar Associa-
ton in convention here today, Presi-
dent Taft urged the lawyers to take the
work Of reform in judicial procedure;
denounced the recall as applied to the
judiciary, and urged the adoption of the
arbitration treaties negotiated with
France and Great Britain.
The Presidents remarks were greet
ed with enthusiasm by the 800 lawyers.
The greatest demonstration came when
the President advocated increase Of
salaries for Federal Judges from $4,000
to $4,000 a year, and when he reterred
to the recall as wild theory"
The Presidents Address.
The President did not specifically
name the recall of the judiciary in HI
address, but only one Interpretation was
put upon his words by his legal-minded
audience.
The President said: IT am filled with
gratitude for the men Of 1873; those
marvellous men who made the Consti-
tuition. In these days when all are for
progress. 1t is Of benefit to the COM

sufficient elasticity to meet our chang
ing needs, and sufficient restrictions to
keep out wild theories, that II tried
would injure the community and prove
a failure. ! thank God for John Marsh
all. who decided that the courts have
the right to make the law of the legis-
lature square with the Constitution"
Speaking of the need for reforms II
judicial procedure President Taft said:
for reform, must take up the burden Of
initiating reform
The President then told of the work
the members of the Supreme Court
were doing in this direction, Justice
Lurton now being engaged in studying
procedures In English courts.
Urges Salary Increase.
'The salaries of Justices on the su-
preme Court bench ought to be made
$25,0c0." the President declared. "A
man called upon to exercise>the respon-
sibilities of the position with the ability
and learning requisite, ought to be
amply paid. and freed from the neces-
sity of lecturing at law schools to eke
out his income"
The President advocated the use of
the new Court of Commerce in Wash
ington as a Court of Patent Appeals.
The President then took up his plea
for the ratification of the arbitration
treaties with France and Great Britain
and discussed the objections of the
Senate from a legal standpoint.
Just preceding the Presidents arrival
the convention heard the report OF a
special committee of former presidents
OF the Association, who presented a
resolution denouncing the recall of the
judiciary. This report was received
with great applause.
The committee included former Sec
retary OF War Dickinson, Judge Alton
B. Parker. Harry st. George Tucker,
Virginia: George w. Lehman, solicit
tor general of the United States; C. F.
Libby, Maine, and George c. Rawle,

Is expected to forestall this legisla-
tion. This new company furnishes the
first instance, in the knowledge of the
Corporation Counsel, where anyone,
with the exception Of the two old
street railway companies, has had an
opportunity to invoke the transfer
law. This company may now, II the
Supreme Court of the District grants
it's petition. require the Capital Trac-
ton Company to accept its transfers
and issue transfers to the suburban
line. .
II may even go farther than that and
force the Capital Traction Company to
permit the cars of the Baltimore and
Washington Transit Company to come
to the center of the city over the Four
teenth street tracks. The law in ad-
dit!on to providing for Interchange of
transfers provides for reciprocal track
age facilities
This feature of the law, when judi
cially passed upon may have the effect
OF permitting any suburban car rum
