Str. FaSthoIm Stranded

The steamer Eastholm, of Vancou-
yer bound from Texada island to Ia
coma with a cargo of 275 tons of
copper ore, grounded on the rocky
reef off Yellow island, San Juan
channel, Sunday night about eleven
o'clock. The wrecking barge Shook
um H., from Vancouver with a scow
in tow. reached the stranded vessel
about two o'clock Tuesday morning.
About half the ore cargo was taken
out by the middle of the afternoon
when the tide was at its height and
the vessel was floated and brought
here. where the remainder Of the
cargo was removed Wednesday and
forwarded to Tacoma in tow Of the
tug Wildwood. An examination of
the Eastholm's hull at the dock here
by diver showed that she was not
very seriously injured. She left for
Vancouver at four O'Clock under her
own steam.

Puget Sound To
Get Naval Base
Says Roosevelt
Assistant Secretary Declares Two
Posts on Coast Are Needed

One of the two naval stations that
experts agree will have to be estaD-
lished on the Pacific coast. will be
built on San Franclsc bay was the
statement made by Franklin D.
Roosevelt, assistant secretary Of the
navy.
Mr.. Roosevelt said it is the con-
sensus of expert opinion that two
powerful naval bases mnst be estab-
lished on the nations westren sea-
board--one on the Puget sound,
the other on San Francisco bay. He
added that there would be, in time,
need of at least one station of the
second class which would be located
in Southern California.
"We have been handicapped on
the Atlantic coast by too mnch local
pride and not enough national un-
derstanding," said Roosevelt. "On
that coast we have eight or nine
navy yards or stations, each thinking
itself vital to the navy, though the
navy doesn't think so.
''The fleet will be here about a
year from now. Its size may deD-
end good deal upon the events for

Pomona Grange
At East Sound

The San Jaun pomona grange
met at East Sound April 2lst with
a small membership present. The
most of the afternoon was spent in
discussion of the several initiative
measures, the fishing industries
being the most interesting topic.
The question of the county oqer-
ating a ferry was also debated but
it was considered that not enough
funds were available.
Recommendations were madeupon
many important measures, the prin-
cipal one being the proposed pro-
hibition law.
The grange then passed resolu-
tions recommending that the appOr-
tiOnment of school funds be raised
from a minimum of two thousand
days attendance to four thousand
days.
Resolved that the State Horti-
cultural department has so appor-
toned the district that it leaves
this county inaccessible to district
inspectors, and whereas San Jaun
is largely a fruit producing county
we hereby recommend the appoint
ment of local inspector, to be
paid from state funds appropriated
for that purpose.
AS the time is too short for the
proper discussion of questions, tho
meetings will be called at 10 A. M.
A we'll rendered progam was fol-
lowed by a dainty luncheon after
which the meeting adjourned.
