night.
It was the steady artillery fire OF
the government troops that dislodged
the enemy. The sun beat fiercely on
the plains. but the air was clear. The
aim of the federal gunners was true.
They began to shell the rebel posi-.
tions at daybreak. For a time the in
surrectos fired in volleys and seven
federal officers were wounded.
Only few hours. however, they
withstood the fierce cannonading and
began to evacuate their positions.
General Teller arrived at nightfall
with a detachment Of $500 men in the
valley behind Conejos. where the van
guard of rebels gathered. 1t seems
likely that unless the rebels continue
to fight desperately a large number OF
prisoners will be taken.

OF the progressive men voters in ev-
cry state throughout the Union will
be complete.
"1he great work of the enfran-
chised women is to demonstrate
their progressiveness. AS it is the
progressive men voters who must be
depended upon to win the suffrage
for women, then as a matter of SIM
pie justice the women voters should
win the progressive cause for men.
1t certainly would be the irony of
fate for the woman vote to be amas-
sed against the men whose votes
won them suffrage.
"Ihis is what the progressive
men fear. Remove this distrust by
demonstrating the progressiveness
of the woman vote and the suffrage
cause will quickly triumph in all
states"

suffrage in every state in the union.
"Women are dependent on the votes
Of men to secure the suffrage. The
most superficial investigation will
show that it is the votes Of the Pro-
gressive men which have carried
woman suffrage in the past. and the
evidence is conclusive that it is the
progressive vote on which the suf-
fragists must depend in the states
which are yet to be won.
"How does the extension of suf-
frage affect the progressive move
ment? Is the woman vote for or
against the progressive movement!
From the standpoint OF the progres-
sive, how will the woman voter ac-
quit herself? Will she strengthen
a nd accelerate the progressive
movement, or will she prove a re-
tarding influence? The women vot-
res of the enfranchised states must
answer. So tar the answer has not
been one that appealed very strong
ly to the progressive voters. and un-
less it does appeal to these voters
the woman suffrage movement will
be retarded.
Men who desire direct legisla-
ton. tariff reform in the interests
of the people. primary election re-
form, parcels post, etc.. DO not
want these reforms retarded by the
woman vote. and will be lukewarm
in their support Of the suffrage
movement. and in the main will
vote against it, until their own re-
forms are accomplished, unless they
have convincing proof that the wo-
man vote will be help in accom-
plishing these reforms.

Thomas Wotton Dies in England

Thos. Crew Wotton. one of the
pioneer settlers of this island. died
at the home of his daughter. Mrs.
Emily Penhye, at Plymouth. Eng
land, on the second Of July. just one
month after leaving Bellingham
with his wife to visit their old home
and children across the sea. and six
teen days after arriving at their
destination. Their son Joshua ac-
companied them as far as Montreal
and saw them safely aboard the AL
len line steampship Virginia.
Mr.. Wotton was born near Ply
mouth. in the south Of England.
eighty-three years ago. When only
eighteen years old he was married
to Miss Charlotte Raymond. who
was his senior in years and who still
survives him. Nine children we're
born to them in England. of whom
six are now living-one son. Joshua.
and three daughters-Mrs. Wills
and Mrs. Rcsler, of this island and
Mrs. Bye. of Bellingham, and one
son and one daughter in England.
Mr.. Wotton served for several years
as a fireman in the British navy and
came to this coast on naval vessel
in 1873, leaving the service at Vic
toria and coming from there to this
island crossing the channel in a
"dug-out" canoe. which he made at
Saanich. He soon afterward de-
clared his intention Of becoming a
citizen of the United States. sent
for his family and filed home
stead claim upon the tract of land
about FIVE miles from Friday Har-
Dor, where he and his wife resided
until they sold the place few
months ago to Mr.. Mouttell.
Elias Anderson went to Harrison
Hot Springs, BE-, this week to take

Tales From Orcas


some "Tales from Orcas Island" to
that paper. These stories and in
cldants are not only interesting be-
cause OF the captivating manner in
which they are related, but to US
who live here, on account of the
facts brought out. For instance.
regarding the failure of Bellingham
to take such interest in the islands
as might be to mutual advantage in
a business way or from the view
point of recreation In late arti-
Gle the Major has this to say:
Zone of the incomprehensible
things to me is the failure of
the Bellingham people ito proper
ly appreciate the San Juan islands
trO!l either the standpoint of beau.
ty or business. Much talk there is
in your city of drawing the atten-
tion of the world to the fact that
here IN northwestern Washington is
to be found the summer playground
of America. The grounds are here
all right, but the only people who
play on them are lot of school
teachers, exhausted by their years
work who seek tie beautiful beaches
and sylvan groves of the islands and
store up strength for the tasks to
come. The fellows who talk most
about the playground put in the
time which is not devoted to chas-
ing the wary dollar. playing pool
and poker and promoting the sale
of automobiles.
If this part Of the country is to-
gain any distinction as a place of
summer enjoyment it must come
through the San Juan islands. Here
you have something which causes
the Thousand Isles of the St. Law
renee to pale their Intellectual fires
and the Mediterranean Sea to lash
itself into furious envy. Properly
backed and heralded by the people
of Bellingham these islands would
attract visitors from all over the
world.
The late lamented census. presid-
ed over by my friend. W. Harrison
Culmer, gave Bellingham almost
Is, 900 inhabitants, and ] am here
to wager that not 1000 OF these
people ever visited the San Juan is
lands. 1t is really lamentable that
the good people of Bellingham
know so little of these islands, and
it is earnestly to be huped that
when the goat is safely perched upon
the summit of Mt. Baker that the
publicity department Of the Cham
Der of Commerce may turn its eyes
| in this direction.
In a business way Bellingham has
also neglected to improve the op-
portunities presented on these ISL
ands. The trade Of the several
thousands of people living here and
| Of the various stores is worth more
to your city than that OF any other
four communities in northwest
Washington. When it is considered
that Uncle Josh Green carries
freight from Seattle. hundred
miles distant. at the same rate ne
charges for carrying it from Bell
ingham, twenty miles distant. and
that he runs regular boat for the
islands, it is surprising that the ISL
anders remain as loyaly TO your
/ town as they do.
/ One prominent merchant OF Bell
|ingham has beautiful place at ol-
ga where his family spends the
summer. and to which he makes
weekly trips. He has become ac-
ouainted with the islanders. they
appreciate his residence among
them and it is safe bet that ne
would give up the trade OF 2 good
many places before sacrificing tnat
