twenty-five Years Old Today

With this issue the Islander enters
upon its twenty first year. Each
year its publishers have endeavored
to cover it's field as thoroughly as
possible and at all times to give its
readers all of the county news" that
is fit to print" as we'll as the impor-
tant happenings of the state, nation
and world. In a county made up
of islands as San Juan county is, it
must be realized that at times the
news is hard to get and if at any
time we fail to publish anything
that is news it is not for any reason
that we do not wish to give our
readers all that they are entitled to
and should receive. The paper is in
debted to its correspondents who
have contributed much toward its
success and who have helped to
build up the various sections of the
county. In this latter respect they
are in a position to aid materially
in the commercial and social welfare
OF their respective sections and we
trust they may see the Importance
OF this and at all times be careful to
report all items of interest and es-
pecially such items as tend to advan-
ce a community along commercial
lines.
John Wanamaker, the merchant
prince of Philadelphia and New
York, once said; 1t is as impor-
tant to advertise your goods as it is
to have the goods to sell, you cannot
sell them if you DON'T Some of
the county's merchants seem to have
lost sight of this fact but instead
prefer to bury themselves in oblivion
and nurse their stock as though they
were heirlooms instead of converting
them into cash and by so doing in
crease their exchequer at the bank.
Printres ink is profitable thing
to use and if all of the merchants Of
the county were to use it, and liber.
ally, the printing business in coun.
ty such as this would be none toe
good, for the field is small at best
The better the patronage the better
the paper and the better the paper
the better it is for the county
1t is the best advertisement the
county has and its mission is to at all
times advance the county's interests
and the welfare of its people
Think this over and in making ur
your apportionment for this year.

In order to get rid Of him North Side
remarked:

Then give it to me and I'll give you a

The beggar dug up nickel from his
trousers pocket, and the exchange was
made. North Side waited to see the
tramp quickstep around the corner
and chuckled as he thought OF the
beggars surprise when he tried to
convert his dime into food. He darted

A bill drawn for the purpose Of
dong away with the public drinking
cup and the concomitant evils of in
lection and disease which it is said
to carry is now pending before the
state legislature. There are, accord
ing to statistics, 400 900 deaths
annually from tuberculosis, diphthe-
ria and the like and physicians state
that the public drinking cup is a
constant source of infection in this
class of disease. 1t is to be hoped
that Somers H. Smith, of Seattle,
father of the bill now before the
states lawmakers, will be rewarded
for his good efforts in the matter.
The public drinking fountain would
no doubt be popular idea, especi-
ally in the "dry" territory of the
state, were something stronger than
water to flow from the fountain head.
and in all probability some of the
members of the state legislature
would be good patrons of it, but as
its water they have to deal with
the measure will likely carry and
become law.
eff you have never seen Oregon,
Washington or British Columbia in
summer, or California in winter, you
lack important qualifications for
imagining what the climate of hea-
ven may be like. So writes DIR.
Woods Hutchinson in his latest vol
ume on Travel, which has just been
published by Houghton, Mifflin &
Co. Being one of the best known
Observation-Disclosures of the country,
this tribute to the Pacific Coast in
general and the Northwest in partic-
ular, is bound to attract a lot of at
tention. Speaking further DR..
Hutchinson says: cit is the charm
ed land of the American continent,
where temperate sun, mild CHM
ate and fertile soil give man the
stimulus of the green and rain swept
north; with the luxurious returns
for moderate effort of the teeming
tropics. The most restful and sooth-
ing climate in the world the land
where it is always afternoon, the
ideal home for the blonde races up
on this American continent and not
half appreciated yet at its full val
ue."

According to E. w. Parker, of
the United States geological survey.
Washington is the only state west
of the Rocky Mountains, that rises
to any notable Importance as coal
producer. Government statistics
show that in 1909 it produced 1885,
$50 short tons of coal an increase
of 551 Alb tons over 1908. The 1909
output had a value Of $9.085, 914.
The greater part Of this coal was
mined in Kittitas county. Eighty
five per cent Of the product of this
county comes from mines controlled
by the Northern Pacific Railway
Company and none of it goes into
the open market. King County is
the next in coal production. In the
period of fifteen years the total num-
Der of deaths in Washington coal
mines has been only 449 and the in
juries 1859.

wherein any advantage might posi-
bly, accrue were the city to be divid-
ed and he can plainly understand
why residents of the south side
would have everything tc lose. For
the good of the city it is to be hoped
that the secession idea will be quash-
ed for all time to come and that the
dissatisfied element will either seek
other pastures green or forget their
imaginary troubles and get in and
boost for bigger and more pros
porous Bellingham. 1t is only fair
20 say that the level-headed, thinking
men in all sections of the city are
against the movement and the Island
er trusts that their wishes in this
matter will BE thoroughly satisfied.

Late census returns all point to
the fact that the cities of the NORTH
west are developing more rapidly
than the rural districts surrounding
them. This condition is causing To-
cal economists to pause for reflection
in an effort to find means for build
ing up the country district. In view
of the fact that large sums of
money are sent to Iowa for butter
and eggs and New York and Utah
for cheese each year it is pointed
out that no better project could be
undertaken by the commercial or
CARNATIONS of the Northwest than
to try to build up the dairy and
poultry business. Many parts of
Washington and Oregon offer ideal
oppol tunities along these lines. 1t
is proposed to exert concerted effort
to bring dairy farmers and poultry
raisers to the Northwest now, who
will help to supply our large cities
and thereby keep the money right at
home which is now going east.
