everyone interested in knowing con-

years the elk have starved by hum

Meeting Of Improvement Club

~
Only small number attended
the meeting of the Improvement
club at the court house Monday
night. There were no important
matters announced further than that
the new school house would be talk
ed about. O. H. Culver went over
the matter Of plans and cost, and
Dr.. Capron gave very interesting
talk on respiration and ventilation.
It was suggested that the Pro-
gram committee formulate some
thing for the next meeting. and
take steps to secure meeting place
where there is a piano so that mu-
sical numbers could be held, and
refreshments served.
The matter of giving financial aid
to q boat which should leave East
Sound every morning for Friday
Harbor, stopping at one or two
points, and returning in the even
ing, was discussed. and a committee
consisting Of E. H. Nash, Gene G.
Gould and j. W. FIits. was appoint
ed to confer with the business men.

The Water Situation

Attorney Irwin received informa
tion from his associate at Belling'
ham, Hon. j. F. Moore, who has
been looking after the suit against
the Cowell Lime Co.. that Judge
Hanford would not hold q session
Of court at Bellingham this month";
because Of there not being enough
on the docket to warrant 1t, ana
that some Of the more important
cases would be transferred to Seat
tie. Mr.. Irwin therefore author
lied Mr.. Moore to proceed at once
to Seattle and secure hearing as
COON as possible. As the Lime Com
pany's attorneys in the case, Byers
& Byers, reside at Seattle, and q
the court would have authority g
hear the matter there, it is probable
that action may be had yet this
month.

Who Owns the Seaweed I?

Rights Of the public as compared
with those of individuals to take
seaweed was dwelt upon at length
by Attorney General w. '. Tanner
recently in an opinion given to Pro-
fessor George B. Rigg, of the Uni
versity of Washington. It is con-
cluded that the rights to seaweed
upon tidelands of the second class
is the grantee Of the state. To
those who see in the proposed utiIi-
zat;on of kelp for commercial pot
ash the question is one of vast inn
portance. Professor Rigg asks two
pertinent questions: Does the
state in granting title to second
class tidelands part with its right
to kelp groves?" "Are the kelp
groves adjacert to Smith island,
light house reserve, under state or
federal control?"
In certain counties the kelp
groves are held to be in the same
relation as fish, giving everyone q
right to take them. but in this coun-
ty other lines are followed. In the
states where riparian rights extend
to lower water mark it has been
held that seaweed stranded on the
beach is private property. In WASH
ington it has been held that the les
see Of second class tidelands has the
right to take CLAIMS embedded on
such lands and the opinion states
that "the right to take seaweed
rests upon the same principle and
consequently the title to seaweed
upon second class tidelands is in the
grantee Of the state. /" Under the
law passed by the last legislature
the limit Of second-class tidelands
has been extended to extreme low
tide instead Of mean low tides tho
grounds upon which kelp may be
taken By the grantee have been en-
larged.
With regard to Smith island tie
opinion states that the government
has never taken any steps to secure
The same and = they have never
been sold q any individual il fol-
lews thaf tie right 70 take seaweed

Graduating Exercises

The relatives and friends of the
first three young ladies to graduate
from the Friday Harbor high school
filled Odd Fellows hall Friday eve
ming last. The stage had been der-
GRATED for the occasion. The entire
background was mass Of ferns and
flowers. making pleasing picture
as the graduates came in dressed in
white. Over the stage were large
weven figures 1872" With Friday
Harbor pennants on either side. At
the sides of the stage were two
large urns filled with immense ferns.
A pleasing feature of the evening
exercises was the singing. The
II ale quartet composed Of Messrs.
Wright, Carter, Christensen and
Reed, and the ladies' quartet, COM
posed of Mesdames Gould, Sargent,
Geoghegan and Martin. rendered
numbers which received deserved
hearty applause.
The address by Rev. T. A. Graham
on .aThe Secret Of Success was
effective, and an effort spoken of by
many in highly complimentary
terms.
The young ladies Miss Amy Pfff-
ner Miss Ethel Ferry and Miss Fran
ces Mu;lis, acquitted themselves in

Pea Growers Gather

The meeting called for the pur-
pose OF organizing Pea Growers
Association convened at the court
house last Friday afternoon. D. B.
Shull was elected as chairman of
the meeting and R. D. Madden Sec
.retary.
Mr.. Shull explained the object of
the contemplated organization and
showed its advantages. During his
remarks he told of record of cost
in buying, planting, caring for and
marketing an acre of peas, with the
result that when compelled to sell at
dictated prices the margin was not
large enough to warrant the crop.
The matter of permanent organi-
zation was taken up and discussed.
Several were in favor of completing
an organization at this time. while
others thought it would be advisable
to hold meeting later and make an
effort to have out as nearly as posi-
BILE all the growers of the county.
1t was finally decided to formu-
late a paper for those present to
sign and to be circulated for other
signatures. About twenty signed
the following:
We, the undersigned pea growers
Of San Juan county, State Of Wash
ington, do hereby declare ourselves
in favor of the organization of a
Pea Growers Association, and agree
to do all in our power to encourage
such movement. We hereby agree
that in case sufficient number of
the pea growers Of this county can
be induced to join this association.
then and IN that event our sigma
ltures to this agreement are TO be
considered as permanent.
Donald Erickson, R. D.. Madden
and j. w. Frits were appointed
committee to draft a constitution
and bylaws.
The date of the rext meeting was
set for Friday, June l4, at the court
house, at 10 o'clock The hour of 10
o'clock was named in order that
those who would arrive on the Balm
bridge in the morning could likely
see the work of organization COM
pleted and return home on the Is
lander in the afternoon.

School Bonds Carried

The school election Tuesday, for
the purpose of voting on the ques-
tion of bonding the district in the
sum of $4,000 for the erection of
new building on the present site,
resulted in favor Of the proposition.
the vote being 115 for. and 43
against. Early in the afternoon it
was thought that the vote would be
very light, because it was believed
there would be little opposition. but
it was soon apparent that in order to
secure the necessary three-fifths ma
jority some work would be neces-
sary, and those favoring the propo-
sition began rousing their friends
to action, with the result that for an
hour or two before the polls closed
they kept a good stream of voters
moving toward the school house.
A peculiar coincidence in connection
with the total vote cast was called
to our attention-it was exactly
the same as the vote which defeated
the proposition voted on a few weeks
ago.
Attention is directed to the coun-
ty treasurer's notice calling for bids
for bonds of this school district to
the amount of $4,000, authorized
at the election. The law requires
that such notices shall be published
for four weeks. In the meantime
architects will be invited by the
schoolboard to submit competitive
designs for such building as it is
proposed to erect. At least six
rooms will be required and the
board hopes that it may be possible
to secure building Of eight rooms.
with adequate modern facilities for
heating and Ventilation. It will
probably be impossible to complete
such building in time for the
opening Of school in September on
account of the delays necessary to
comply with the law as to the sale
of bonds and the letting of con-
tracts.

Of Friday Harbor public schools.
The one disagreeable feature of
the evening. and the more deplora-
BILE because occasioned by school
boys, was the confusion and noise
made during the essays, almost bor-
dering on hoodlumism. Respect for
the young ladies, if they had none
for their parents or teachers, should
have caused more gentlemanly con-
duct. Many toward the back OF the
hall heard little that was said on
the stage. After the exercises at

REPORT OF THE BOARD of MANAGERS.
The board of managers under our by
laws, are required to render to this the
annual meeting of the society, an ac-
count of their stewardship. Two meet
ings of the board were held, the regular
meeting in January and special meet
ing in May At the January meeting
the routine business of the board was
transacted and some changes made in
the list of premiums offered, being in
some classes, notably cattle, largely in
creased. At this meeting it was voted
to make some changes and improve
ments on the track and this was done
during the summer under the direction
of the committee on construction and
haf-mile tracks in New England, and
the spectre of rainy day, and muddy
track that could not be used, which has
persued US for so many years, has been
banished forever. Your secretary and
William Noonan, the very efficient
superintendent of races, lost no oppor-
tunity to spread abroad among the
racing fraternity that the track in Mid
dlebury had had its dangerous features
eliminated and was in every way O. X.
The result was very gratifying. Our
entries were in quantity and quality the
best ever" and our great 81. 900 free
for-all stake was the only one of seven
advertised in Vermont to start with a
full field. At meeting held early in
resentatives from Troy, N. Y,
Cambridge, N. Y, Rutland, Fair Haven,
Middlebury, Manchester and South
Walhngford, VT The Green Mountain
circuit was re-organized with w. X.
Farnsworth of Rutland as circuit
secretary. This organization helped us
very materially. F. A. Upton again
acted as starting judge and his reputa-
ton for fairness, impartiality and des-
patch was not diminished but his pop
ularity in Addison county was largely
increased.
A new feature of the fair was the ex-
hibit of the fish and game of Vermont.
1t was a very attractive and interest
ing exhibit and will be much fuller the
coming year as the board of managers
believe it should be permanent feature
ard have provided building to shelter
it. Through the courtesy of Congress
man Foster large number of the year
books of the department of agriculture
were given free distribution.
We have had this year for the first
time in our history, subsidy from the
State of Vermont, as you will note in the
treasurer's report. While personally
have never been in favor of asking the
state for financial aid, there was feel
ing which we all shared, that if the state
was going into the subsidizng business
to the tune of $40, 900 for the state fair,
that the county fairs should at least
have a share in it, At the time of the
regular meeting of the board last jan
uary the measure was pending before
the legislature and committee was

appointed to go to the capitol and ad-
vocate its passage. Whether this COM
mittee had anything to do with the
favorable report of the legislative com
mittee which had the bill in charge
might be a matter for argument, but
it was passed and we have our money.
The large increase in the premiums
offered in the cattle department brought
out an exhibit that taxed our capacity
to the limit and then some. But al
though Superintendent Cady was new
man at the head of it, he acquitted
himself very creditably indeed, he hav-
ing the happy faculty of keeping all the
exhibitors good natured, a most diff
cult task | assure you, for exhibitors at
an agricultural fair are not always easy
to suit
At the second meeting of the board
the matter of charging admission the
first day of the fair was taken up and
discussed, but was finally referred to
the annual meeting of the society to be
held January Sd, 1912. Therefore, this
is the day and the place. The report of
the treasurer will show that we have
about reached the limit of our resources
for income. There must also be limit
for expenditures. An agricultural fair
is an expensive proposition to maintain
at best. If we can increase our income
by charging an admission the first day,
giving the people entertainment of
course the same as on the other days,
it should be done, otherwise not. 1t
would do no harm to try it one year at
least Your secretary visited other
Vermont fairs last fall and while he
has no criticisms to offer, he is of the
opinion that not one of them has "any-
thing on US. Our location, plant and
surroundings are ideal AS Editor
Cummings in his admirable article on
the Addison County Fair in the August
Vermonter says, ''it is a wholesouled
fair and an overwhelming success.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK C. DYER, Secretary.
