The SawmiIl May
Be Rebuilt Soon

Mr.. Cueny, of the San Juan Lum-
Der Co., informs the Islander that
he has made satisfactory settle
ment with the insurance companies
and the insurance of $4,000 on the
mill property is to be paid in full.
All that is left of the plant in the
way Of salvage goes to the mill COM
pany. Some of the machinery can
be used but most of ii was ruined
by the fire The stock of lumber on
hand is being sold at reduction.
1t is not yet definitely determined
what will be done with the plant.
A smaller mill, sufficient for the
local demand will probably be built
at once. It is probable also that
arrangements will be made to supply
the city with water for fire protec-
tion, and lights.

Canning Industry
On A Small Scale

Mr.. E. j. Watson, of the Louisiana
Experiment Station, in recent
bulletin gives the results secured at
the station l., the canning OF frult
and vegetables with small outht
that can be purchased at from Slo
to $25. Prof. Watson dwells on the
fact that during the growing season,
on we'll established farm, there
is found an abundance of fruits and
vegetables, from early spring when
asparagus and rhubarb are in season
until the winter apples are gathered
in late fall, and, while the best OF
the fruit and vegetables may be
marketed, there is always good
/ deal of raw material which cannot
be sold at profit and which goes
to waste unless utilized with the aid
of a small canning outfit. IS
The canning of fruit and vege-
tables is the coming business of the
fruit and vegetable raising districts.
When the producer of raw material
becomes educated to the fact that
very little skill, learning or invest
ment is required to put up canned
goods successfully, as he will IN
time, there will be small canning
factories and individual Gamers in
every small village and neighbor-
, hood. The small canning boiler
will be as common as the cream
separator is in the farming and
dairy districts. So will every fruit
and vegetable grower have his own
canning outfit. He will put up his
own goods and sell them to the local
grocery stores o. to the nearest
jobbing house. In fact what has
been possible in the dairy business
is much more possible in fruit and
vegetables. The individual Gamer
has the advantage over the large
canning factory in being in a posi-
tion where he can let fruit ripen un-
til the natural flavor is fully develop
ed fruity flavor as contrasted wit b
the insiped, f1avorless product usu-
ally to be found on the market.
The individual Gamer has no diff
Guilty in marketing his product.
1t is to be hoped that the growers
of fruit and vegetables will come
to realize the opportunities arising in
the heretofore practically unexplor-
ed field of "Home Canning in the
Western states and that they will
materially increase their, legitimate
profits thereby. The ownership of
a small home canning outfit involves
but small investment and it is one
which the fruit grower will never
regret. What others have done, you
can do. "Success comes in cans,
/ failures in cants."

Salmon Still Scarce

Judge Claghorn has been counting
salmon by the thousands this week.
Still there were not many thousands
just little morning stunt of a
few hours each day to put them in
the cans, and then waiting and
dreaming of record runs Of the past.
The fish are slow in making their
way in from the Pacific and the
signs are not favorable for full
pack. A few Humpies are being
gathered and canned. One seining
outfit at Kanaka Bay is reported to
have caught 700 sockeyes on Tues
day. The trap at Point Lawrence
is not catching enough fish to feed
the crew. The last big run Of sock
eyes was in 1909, a fairly good run
is due this year.
Isaac Sandwith is remodeling the
Bay View hotel and when completed
it will be greatly improved. The

6. n. Culver Terribly
Injured In Runaway

Mr.. G. N. Culver was terribly
injured in a runaway accident at
Alderbrook Farm, Orcas island,
early this week. He was driving
his team to a moving machine. when
one of the horses got the lines under
its tail and the animals ran away.
Mr.. Culver was thrown from his
seat. dragged along the ground for
a considerable distance. and finally
run over by the iron wheels of the
machine before he got the horses
stopped. Though badly injured
and unable to move. he was still
able to cry for help. He was dis
covered about an hour later by June
Buffers living near by, who quickly
secured help. 1t was necessary to
take the moving machine to pieces
to release him. Though already
crippled by an accident many years
ago. he again suffered a broken leg.
and other injuries that would have
proven fatal to man of less vitality.
He was tenderly cared for, and
taken to his home. 1t was found
necessary to send to Friday Harbor
for a physician. and Dr.. Capron was
taken over in a launch arriving there
at 10 o'clock Sunday night. Such
medical attention as was possible
was given him curing the night
and Monday morning he was
brought to the Harbor i'll the launch
Dawn. of Doe Bay. Fortunately
Mr.. O. H. Culver and family were
camping near the scene of the acci-
dent and were able to alleviate his
sufferings to some extent. He was
taken to the home of his son, and
though suffering terribly from the
shock it is believed that he will! re.
cover. The unfortunate man is 76
years old, and has not been in good
health for a long time. He was re-.
Gently obliged to take charge of his
farm, and was not in a fit condition
to perform the labor incident to that
vocation. For some months during
the spring and summer Mr.. Culver
was the editor and manager of the
Islander. He has the sympathy Of
the community in his suffering which
it is hoped will not be of long dura-
tiOn.

TO INTEREST THE BOYS AND GIRLS
Bring the College to the Farm

rate these short courses in place of
sending the demonstration train. 1t
was pointed out at the time that
many farmers who would like to
take advantage of the short course
at the state agricultural school were
unable to do so. either because of
the expense involved or because
they could spare but a few weeks
of their time away from their farms.
To overcome this condition of affairs
the college authorities were asked
to start these courses in as many
sections of the state as possible.
The regular institute work which
has been carried on by the state
agricultural college for seventeen
years will also be enlarged and many
features which have hitherto been
lacking have been added this year,
making the work much more valu-
able and instructive. The only diff
erence between the new short course
and the institute work is that the
short course is more complete and
involves more detailed explanation.
The farmers institute will cover
Whatcom. San Juan, Skagit and
Snohomish counties, the smallness of
the appropriations limiting the work
to this territory. This work is not
so detailed extending over one or
two days, and will be carried on in
September and October.
The purpose of this extension
work is not so much to build up the
State College, but to provide a
means of education along practical
lines for those farmers who have
been unable to attend an agricultural
school. Prof. Ashby states that but
one boy in 400 ever reaches an aeri-
cultural college and that it is to
stimulate the public interest of farm
ing communities in the scientific
possibili les of farming that these
courses will be given. He asserted
that with the same soil farmers in
this county and in other parts Of the
state could raise much better and
larger crops by the appliance OF
scientific methods.
The institute speakers will be
selected from Pullman College and
from the Western experimental
farm at Puyallup. These experts
will lecture on dairying horticulture,
general farming, poultry and do
mestic science. In each town visited
there will be six lectures on every
subject taken up; three stock judg-
ing classes; two hours to the keeping
of testing records Of milk, and aps
proximately three hours on the prop
er feeding of stock of all kinds.
Beginning next year statewide
potato growing contest among the
young generation will beinaugurated
to interest the boys and girls in inn
proving farm conditions. All those
making application tothe authorities
at the State College will be furnish
ed with quantity of seed with in
structions in the method Of planting
and the care of the plants. When
the crop is ready the contestants in
the different localities will take their
crop to some central point, where
! it will be judged. AS prize it is
planned TO give a scholarship to the
agricultural school or something
equally valuable, the object being
not financial gain, but the honor
|of producing the biggest yield and
the best quality.

farm conditions generally, arousing
the interest of the boys and girls
throughout the state in agricultural
work of all kinds and to provide a
definite basis for instruction along
those lines the state agricultural
college at Pullman has inaugurated
the plan of holding short courses in
farm work in the western part of
the state in addition to the annual
series of Institutes. Owing to lack
Of funds only two of these short
courses can be held in the state this
year, and Whatcom County has
already been assured of one by Prof.
R. C. Ashby, who has charge of the
institute and extension work at the
State College.
The short course will include dairy
ing, with lectures covering all
points of that particular phase of
farm life. testing work, stock judg-
ing cases and demonstrations. The
anatomy of the COW, and a thorough
study of the vital organs and parts,
with the diseases and the cl.re of
each will be taken up. Soils and
crops will be explained and practical
work in each of these subjects is
included in the course. There will
also be hog judging classes, stock
work and horticultural experiments
and demonstrations In order that
the farmers wife may derive direct
benefit from the course, a short but
practical course in domestic science
will be given.
1t has not yet been definitely de-
cided where the course will be held
but Lynden is making a strong fight
for it and Prof. Ashby says that
since Lynden offers the proper in
ducements and apparently is serious
in it's efforts to secure the course,
Lynden will in all probability be the
meeting place for the event this year
to be held in the latter part Of
November or first of December
The other short course will be held
in the .uthern part of the state.
Instead Of sending demonstration
car throughout the state, as in
former years, these short courses
will be held lasting from five days
to a week. Each branch Of the
work that it is planned to teach will
be under the supervision of a pro-
fessor of that particular branch from
Pullman. The work will be carried
on much the same manner as in the
short farming courses which are
held every year for period Of about
six weeks at the State College. On
the deposit of registration fee OF
from SO cents to So. depending upon
the length of the course, anyone will
be admitted to the. lectures and
demonstrations. The college fur
nishes the professors and pays the
traveling-expenses while the town in
which the short course is given will
have to bear the hotel and other ex-
penses of the meeting.
I It was at the suggestion Of the
Whatcom County Pomona Grange
that the professors of the State Col
lege decided to establish the short
courses. During the April session
of the Pomona. urged by Prof. H.
| w. Sparks. of Pullman and, fathered
by horticultural Inspector G. 2,
