HONOLULU MEN
CAPTURE HEARTS
OF COAST MAIDS

Another romance OF the famed Wal
kiki beach and the slumbrous airs of
Hawaii was brought to light with the
arrival Of the Oceanic liner Sonoma,
at which time Miss Ida Busser of
Berkeley confessed that she was en-
gagged to William Wilder King of Ho-
n0lulu, whom she met at the island
city several weeks ago before going to
Australia with her parents, says the
Chronicle Of Sept. 70. Miss Busser
said no date had been set for the we'd
ding as yet, but that 1t would probably
be solemnized within six months. when
her fiance arrived from the islands.
Miss Busser is the daughter of s.
e, Busser, who is superintendent of
the reading-rooms Of the Santa Fe
system. Accompanying her parents
she sailed from San Francisco sever
al weeks ago on the Sierra and after
a stay of some time in Honolulu,
where she met King, the family sailed
for Australia on the Sonoma. She is
a graduate Of Miss Heads school for
young ladies.
Another young woman arriving on
the Sonoma was Miss Carol E. Trip
of 1870 Weber street. Alameda, who
returned from visit to the family of
Theodore F. Lansing of Honolulu, and
who was the life of the ship on the
way from the island city. All the So
cial events and the field day games
were started by her and had she not
been present il would have been a
dull trip, according to all the officers
OF the ship.
She was the champion among the
women of all games and was the
bright spirit in the five-day trip from
Honolulu.

WOOD FLOORS
MADELASTING

With the fall moving into anDther
house or apartment the housewife IS
often confronted with floors which
perhaps we're not good IN the .begiII-
ming. and through the carelessness OF
ignorance Of previous occupants have
been made even worse. She should
not be discouraged. however. for
these same shabby floors can be.
made beautiful, lasting and sanitary.
says the Pictorial Review.
II the floor has been painted, and
is worn In patches, It Is better to have
all the old paint removed. It can be
scraped OF after softening 1t with tur-
pentine or one of the many paint re-
movers to be found in the shops. Be
careful in using these, as they are
apt to contain strong acids. Fill the
cracks carefully. An excellent and in
expensive crack-fiIler which Is prac-
tlcally indestructible can be made at
nome. tut enough torn newspaper In
to three quarts of hot water to abb
sorb 1t all, and let 1t soak until II
is soft and PUPPY Then add ohe-half
pound OF alum and one-half pound Of
flour that have been mixed together,
and stir thoroughly. Cook this until
it Is as thick as putty and then press
lit into the cracks. Half Of this guam
AIty IS enough for an average sized
room, and the cost Is about 20 cents.
When the cracks have been hleed
the procedure Is as for new floor.
and then decision must be made as
to whether the floor shall be finished
with wax or varnish. In either case

preferred, use one coat of the best

sidered best to use when the floor
is to be waxed, as There is strong
cohesion between the paste and the
wax which gives a richer tone to the
floor and does not make 1t so slippery

very satisfactory results. There are
also many other paints and stains to
be found I'm the stores that are SER

National Hymn---NationaI Air

There has recently been a contro-
versy among those of a literary turn
here over what was the national
hymn. and dictionaries, encyclope-
dias. ETC., we're searched for evil
dence. Some contended that
"America" was the national hymn,
while others insisted that the
"Star Spangled Banner" had that
honor. 1t was finally concluded
that the latter was not classed as
a hymn, but as the national air,
while "Ameica' was spoken of as
the national hymn. Neither side
was greatly in error.

There were some communications
in the Islander last week, two oc-
casioned by the remarks OF }. W
Geoghegan regarding the proposed
game fund law, and one because the
assessor was quoted as saying there
was a reason for the taxes being
higher.
All the differences and difficulties
we have are because all are looking
at things from different viewpoints
and each individual is right, as ne
sees it. There is little question
but that the sportsmen of the coun-
ty are right when they insist that
the money they put up each year
for a specific purpose should be
used for that purpose and no other.

Plans Big federation

A movement to effect federation

of Skagit, Whatcom and San Juan
counties has been started by the
Bellingham Chamber of Commerce
and the plan has met with much
favor from many of,the commercial
bodies Of this district. all but three
towns replying favorably.
The object Of the federation is
declared to be to find out the needs
and opportunities of the district
and for all the commercial organiz-
ations to work in harmony to sup
ply these needs and to take advan-
tage Of the opportunities.
Secretary Matteson of the Bel
lingham Chamber of Commerce
says: Nottingham wants to work
with the smaller towns. We have
no desire to dictate what shall or
shall not be done, but all we want
is to belp whatever is decided it
is well to do. Bellingham cannot

High Taxes Again

Editor Islander: The answer to
the communication of Mr.. Martin,
as I see it. is Incompetency. Extrav-
agance. Mismanagement.
This condition will continue as
long as men and women vote their
prejudice rather than their intel
ligence. With incompetence in
office we will have mismanagement
in our public business. A notable
example is that of our Ex-Governor
with his board of commissioners and
their retinue. They have caused
large expenditures of public funds
with no benefit to the people. It
seems that our present legislation
will continue this condition, and
that it will grow.
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1913-02-14

No one loves to pay taxes. and it
is about as hard for one class to
pay as another, yet we are all will
ling to pay reasonable taxes if we
can see that we are getting any,
thing for our money, but we do not
like to see our money wasted. l
want to assure Mr.. Martin that the
taxpayer always has the sympathy
of the assessor. He alone. OF all
officials. visits the homes of the
people he sees the conditions in
which they live. and he would
rather give them the best OF the
valuation of their property, than
the worst of it. No. the assessor
is not to be blamed. 1t is the man
who spends your money and does
not give you value for it.
If we get poor management OF
our public affairs. it is usually our
own fault. If we will not elect
men to office who are efficient and
who stand for economy, we will
have to submit to mismanagement
and extravaganza.

desirous of good roads because.
directly or indirectly, they benefit
all, and it is only natural that
