Some Old ReCOIleCtiOnS

L. B. Carter found on his counter
one day last week an old copy of
the Islander, dated August 1898.
It had been left by some one who
probably had unwrapped package.
Being fourteen years old, glance
at it revealed several interesting
items relating to life here at that
period. A letter appears from c..
M. Tucker from Dawson City, N.
W. T., written to his brother c. N.
S. Tucker, then living at Argyle.
One Of the items Of the letter is as
follows:
Il have met most Of the San Juan
boys here, Harrison. Turnbarge.
Paxsons, John Delaney. Jim Mer-
vyn. Donohue, Parks and others.
Also Llbbie Bradshaw. Most Of
those who came last fall have
claims, but OF unknown value, as
not one in a thousand are prospect
ed. Prof. Lippe is said to have
cleaned up $8OO.0OO.''
A few other item appearing in the
issue are as follows:
Miss Pearl Simpson returned FRI
day after three weeks vacation
at Point Lawrence.
Capt. Basfeard is now on the
steamer Lady Of the Lake.

A Correction

Last week the article headed
"Moran's New Boat" appeared in
the Islander without proper credit.
The article was written by Mr.. c.
A. Chadwick of the Seattle Argus,
after visit to Mr.. Moran's home
some time ago. 1t appeared in the
Argus at the same time as the ar
ticle setting forth the needs Of bet
ter hotel accomdations for tourists.
which we also reprinted. The fall
ure to place the credit was due to
the hurry and confusion attending
the closing the forms for the press.

now building a $4,000 graded
school at Fort Lawton. They were
also the builders of the new Buck

approximately 4,227.0O0 cases, a
falling off Of $4,000 cases COM
pared with last year, according to
unofficial estimates prepared by W.

Sound Salmon Gamers Association.
The falling off is due 70 a deficien-
cy in the Puget Sound and CoIum-

ing 427, 900 cases this year against
i .557, 900 cases last year and the
latter 800, 900 cases this year

Crawford estimates the Alaska pack
1t $500. 900 cases. an increase of
679, 600 cases over last year and the
record pack Of the northern terri
tory. The increase ID the Al
output Is accounted for By an in

State Board Of Health toward the
handling Of smallpox is based upon

State Board Of Health toward the
handling Of smallpox is based upon
the conviction, which is growing
throughout the United States, that
inasmuch as in vaccination a relia-
Bile preventative for this disease is
known, that it is both unscientific
and poor economy to expend public
money in the maintenance of rigid
quarantine. These rules do not by
any means imply that patient suf-
fering from smallpox is free to 60
about at will. Any such person, as
long as isolation measures are main
tanned by the heal tn officer, is just
as liable to prosecution for breaking
the isolation as heretofore for break
ing quarintine for smallpox, but it
does mean that other people on the
same premises are not to be re-
strained against their will with the
patient. All health officers are
charged with urging upon all per-
sons exposed the advisability Of be-
ing vaccinated and also provision is
made by which those exposed shall
be attended free of charge by the
health Officials when smallpox actual
" exists in a community. But be-
yond this measure no restriction is
placed upon other inmates Of the
house containing smallpox patient.

part Of the town of Kilmarnock. Ayr
shire. which he inherited from his
great-aunt, Lady Ossington.
Lady de Walden is also very wealthy
in her own right. Her grandfather

LONDON GIRL WORKERS

Gainsborough Hats, Fancy

Barred by Employers.

London. NOV. although IL might be

London Offices, there seems TO be an

Soon the vivid dash OF color which broke
the sombre monotony OF the stream OF
City workers as they poured from the
trains Will have gone, for there is a gem
eral tendency TO insist that the girls pre-
sent themselves at the offices in coats
and skirts OF dark material, cut with due
regard to neatness and quietness OF eff
feet Several large city firms have drawn
up codes of dress regulations and there
are many sad and disappointed damsels
as the result OF the new order.
The head OF large drygoods store ex-
pressed the general feeling among en-
ployers when he said that every office
that employs women typists to any ex-
tent should insist on uniform style OF
dress, because it looks more businesslike
and in my opinion, tends toward the in
crease Of efficiency among the workers
themselves. The girl who knows that
her neighbors dress is precisely similar
10 her own is spared the temptation of
studying its possible points OF superior
lty. and my experience is that office dress
helps to inculcate a businesslike frame

TANClER TO FEE RAILWAY
Provided For in Franco-Span-
ish Treaty on Morocco.

Paris. Nov. 30.-The immediate con-
struction Of a railroad from Tangier TO
Fee. the capital OF Morocco, is provided
for in the supplementary articles OF the
Franco Spanish treaty in reference 20
Morocco. the text of which was pub
lshed here to-day.
The rev railroad. with its branches ex-
tending TO other parts of Morocco. VIII
mean the opening up Of the heart OF the
Moroccan empire TO communication with
the outside world as well as giving great
OPPORTUNITIES for the extension of COM
nlerce and industry.
The treaty defines the limits OF the
French and Spanish zones in Morocco.
They are along the lines already an
nounced. Spain cedes TO France the vast
region, believed TO be rich In minerals, be-
tween the rivers Draa and Sus. France
thus obtains another outlet to the At
lantic Ocean from her Saharan territory.
Spain obtains the important coast dis
frict known as Ifni. u the north France
obtains the fertile valley OF the River
Wergha.
The RAILROADS TO De constructed Will be
capitalized as to 60 per cent by the French
and as TO 10 per cent by the Spanish.

ENGLAND DRAWS AHEAD
IN NAVAL GUNNERY
Tests of New Fire Control Sys-
tenn Said to Have Proved
It's Superiority.

London, Nov. 23.--Reports, meagre az
they are concerning q series OF Bunnery
tests carried out in the North Atlantic by
the British battleships Orion and Thun-
derer have given immense satisfaction
here because OF the much doomed state
ment that, If correct, they will revolt
tionize naval gunnery and place the
British navy IN a position OF great sd
perlority"
The two vessels are sister ships OF tho
super Dreadnought class, and identical In
armament but for the purposes OF the
tests the Orion was fitted with the FIRE
control system used in every ship in the
navy and similar TO that In use In the
navies Of the world. The Thunderer was
fitted with the new director" system, in
vented by Admiral Sir Percy Scott. and
the tests were carried out simultaneously.
under ordinary Atlantic conditions, with
roll of at least degrees each way.
The ships fired at similar targets. at
good-though not official-authority that
the Thunderer made five times as many
hits as the Orion. OF course, 1t Is not
likely that the official figures will be
forthcoming, but IL is confidently believed
that the results are a wonderful triumph
for the system invented by Sir Percy
Scott after years Of experimentation.
Briefly. his invention operates as fol-
lows: The mechanism is contained in d
station fitted below the coming tower on
the foremost OF a battleshlp. By its usc
all the guns in the ship are automatically
brought to an identical level. and. there
fore, when trained at the same elevation
given from the nre-control platform, their
projectiles are concentrated on the same
spot.
Under the present system each gun
crew finds its own range and the firinx
may be erratic. Under the new invention.

slight recovery in prices. The under

conservative investors are buying gilt

from Vienna and Berlin show that both
markets are weak and depressed by

by the individual boarding of gold.

Leading financiers expect considerable

London. Nov SO.--The defeat Of
George Lansbury in his self-sought
contest for the Parliamentary represen-
tation OF Bow and Bromley, was &
rather unusual and interesting happen
ing from any point OF view. In the
first place. Lansbury was the only So

mons sitting as such. James keir
Hsrdie is q Socialist, but was elected
as a Labor member, and with Lans-
bury the house thus loses its only indie
pendent member. the only member not
affiliated with either the government or
the opposition. Again, in the new
member, the Opposition gains vote
vet. though the government is hard
pressed, it is probably more glad than
sorry TO see Lansbury go, even at tho
expense Of an added vote for the Union
lists
Another interesting angle in the nat
ter (from the woman suffrage point or
ylev) 10 that Lansbury resigned his
seat and ran anew for the purpose OF
testing his constituency on the question
OF woman suffrage, OF which, as a good
socialist, ne is, Of course, strong sup

three women were found on the Parlia-

1t was not explained how the names got

Laws for the suppression Of football
