He warned his listeners against

Prof. Kincaid. director of the
Marine Biological station here,
came down from the state univer-
sity Friday to inspect the station
buildings and premises. He says
that the state college is to join in
the marine work here and that the
professor Of botany in that fine in
stitution will have charge of the bo-
tanical work at the station during
the coming season. This is very
gratifying announcement, in view
of the friction which unfortunately
existed between the college and
the university three years ago,
when an effort was made by some of
of the college men to establish a
marine station independent of the
university. There would seem to
be no good reason why the two in
stitutions should not cooperate in
the friendliest and most helpful
spirit and build up a station here
that will rank among the best in the
world.

TIE Anacortes Passenger Service
To the Editor:


Will you kindly allow me little
space in the Islander in which to
present to the people of the county
and. especially to the residents of
San Juan and Lopez Islands the
matter of passenger transportation
between here and mainland points,
via Anacortes.
There are three boats plying
regularly upon the Anacortes route,
as there have been for considerable
time. Two of these make tri-weekly
trips only, while the Getty of Ana
cortes' makes round trip daily,
affording close connections with the
fine steamer Kulsnan for Seattle,
enabling passengers to reach that
city at P. NJ. and also connecting
with the fast passenger launch Taku
II for Bellingham.
Is it really not matter OF con-
siderable Importance to have daily
service maintained. and by boat
staunch enough for safety and COM
! for in the stormy weather so likely
to prevail during the winter months
The City of Auacortes is safe.
/, speedy and comfortable; she was
built in the county and is owned in
the county, and it SEEMS to me that
the residents of all points that she
touches, should be sufficiently IN
terested in her continued operation
to most cheerfully give her all the
patronage that they can. That is
all that is necessary and all ask. Is
it not reasonable? Bear in mind
| that we carry light freight, make
no charge tor ordinary baggage or
parcels, and that We stop over long
enough in Anacortes every day to
enable our patrons to do such trad
ing there as they may wish TO, and
that our service is the only one
which enables travellers to connect
with the only daylight STEAMER for
Seattle.
Wishing all my patrons Happy
/ and Prosperous New Year. ! am,
Respectfully,
| Norman L. briggs.

The Apple Outlook

The Wenatchee Valley Fruit
Growers Association handled six
hundred carloads of apples this last
season st prices equaling that OF the
year before, according to dispatch
which goes on saying;
''The outlook for the apple crop
next season is the best ever known
in the valley and every effort will
be put forth to secure a favorable
market. A scheme will also be
worked out whereby the price car
be regulated. not with a view oil
raising the price. but to keep the
price at a normal condition each
year and at all times keep it within
control of the association.
The editor Of the Islander wonders il
the one who thus early foresees ''the
best crop of apples next fall ever
known" is not using Alladdin's
lamp.

Safety Of Concrete Structures

An effort to attrib ate the failure
of the dam at Austin, Pa.4 to the
fact that it was BUILT Of concrete
has been made by sons Of the jour-
nails 6evoted to the stone industry.
One of these heads it's article The
Menace of Concrete" and remarks
therein: "A great coprete dam has
crumbled as if it were mud There
is not a concrete dam, bridge, or
large building that is not q daily
menace to life. There are facts
darning to all concerto work from
which it is impossible to escape.
All of which leads Engineering
News New York; to remark in its
editorial columns:
"Unfortunately for this Journals
reputation among its readers. the
photograph which it prints Of the
wrecked Austin dam shows that the
concrete of the dam withstood the
food il really remarkable shape.
The dam failed as everybody now
knows, by sliding on its foundation,
and it would have slid just - surely
and certainly if it had been built Of
cut stone.
