We are sorry We did it, but honest,
We didn't mean to. Ne, it's not the
water wagon this time. We have
booked seat for the season, but the
trouble is, we have been expelled
from the class of George Washington
with the advice that the Ananias club
was the place for us. Why? Simply
because we told you a few weeks ago
that it was impossible to ever i'm.
prove on the program we had for tina
day. Well, truth will out, so we might
as Well confess right now that we are
going TO show today something that
completely eclipses that one, and the
like of which we will not have again
in many moons. Our program will
consist of ten stars of the first mag
nitude. and several lesser ones. 1t
was late in coming, but at last we
have it, and with great pleasure we
are going to offer you the great Bio
graph masterpiece:
"The Last Drop of Water"
A picture of the great American des-
ert that is without parallel in the
history Of motion pictures. This pic
ture required six months to take and
is the longest reel ever released by
Biograph. This picture is in great
demand and will never again be
shown in this city, and We do hope
you will let the little ones see this
wonder of wonderful films.
"How Nicodemus Changed"
A picture of wonderous beauty. We
see Nicodemus in his magnificent pal
ace in Athens, which at that time was
the seat of art and learning. Nico-
demus isea woman hater and assem-
hles all of his men to teach them how
to hate the God of Love. but woman
was made to love and Nicodemus was
the first victim ENquisitely hand
painted. this beautiful picture is one
that will be long remembered.

Serious Accident
to Henry Cayou

Henry T. Cayou, the we'll known
fish trap owner and for four years,
until Jan. Z, county commissioner of
the Orcas island district, suffered a
very serious and perhaps fatal acci-
dent at his home place at Deer Har
Dor last Monday. While looking
for leak in the gasoline tank inssthe
bow of his launch, Standard, an ex-
plosion occurred which shattered the
bow of the launch and threw Mr..
Cayou violently against the wall of
the tank knocking him senseless and
fracturing his skull at the base of
the brain. Andrew Lavine, who
was on the float to which the launch
was moored, managed to get him
out of the wrecked boat just before
she sank. DR.. Reed was summoned
from here by phone and as soon as
possible had the injured man taken
to the Anacortes hospital. The
latest report from there yesterday
was that there is possible chance
of his recovery. The cause of the
explosion is not known.

long Drawn Out, but Entertaining

The trip on the Islander, outbound
from Bellingham is long one. The
steamer winds and turns among tn e
islands touching at almost every
landing to deliver mail; and some
there are who grumble. But if the
day be fair, it is hard to conceive
of a more pleasurable jaunt. One
of the features of the tour is
glimpse of the millionaire shipbuild-
er's, Robt. Moran's S establishment at
Rosario on Orcas island. A stranger
is amazed at the sight Of this grand
central mansion so uniquely placed
at well as at glimpses of other costly
structures, six Or eight in number.
and his imagination is awakened by
the stories with which. he is regaled
Of costly interiors and sumptuous
furnishings.
Mr.. Moran must be man OF
great originality. His holdings 1T is
said comprise $500 .cres and include
the beautiful lakes on Mt. Consti-
tuition.

A New Process of
Stump Burning

Much interest is manifested by
owners of logged-off land in the var
ious processes reported from time
to time for removing stumps. Much
has been printed Of late about the
char-pit process and now comes a
partial report of what is called the
"preheated air process" as demons
trated on the state university cam
pus at Seattle within the past week
by representative Of the United
States bureau of plant industry.
The Post-Intellegencer says that the
new process, the invention of Clarke
Smith, of Mount Vernon, embodies
the use of a combustion chamber
within the heart of the stump and
the creation of the suction draught
by means of preheating the air
necessary for combustion. The ap-
paratus used for the experiment is
simple.
A trench is first dug from point
four feet away to the base of the
stump about twelve inches below
the surface of the ground. A char
coal fire is then started and large
cast iron pipe placed within the
trench. This pipe is connected with
twelve-foot stack, which acts as
chimney.
A small three-inch pipe is then
placed within the short length and
the air is drawn through the smaller
pipe to the point of combustion.
This latter pipe becomes red-hot and
the air is thus heated before reach
ing the burning portion Of the
stump.
The process is an extension Of the
charpit method and has the advan-
tage that it can be used in any form
Of soil. The preheated air method
consumes the stump by burning
from the inside, while the charpit
system does the reverse. The
demonstrations on the campus are
the windup of series of investiga-
tions OF the various methods Of
clearing land which have been
carried on by the bureau Of plant
industry for two years. Upon the
completion of this work, March 80,
q report is to be published by Prof.
Harry Thompson. who is in charge
Of the experiment.
