The Official Paper of So Jnai Cwnty.
THURSDAY. SEPT. 22, 1898.
That was a good-natured aud by no
means impertinent comment in our
Edwards correspondence last week rep
resenting the ideas of some one as to
what a local newspaper, and especially
Thk Islander, should contain. "It
should give us more solid county
news," sayß our critic, who suggests
further that "if each correspondent
would write up the leading industry of
his section and enlarge on the resources
of his particular neighborhood, his
notes would be read with greater in
terest." All this is true enough, no
doubt, but perhaps our critic is a com
paratively new comer, as well as an
occasional reader only, and does not
know that the county's industries and
resources have been "written up" re
peatedly in The Islander and that
its editor has written much concerning
them for other and much larger papers.
Our exceptional scenic and climatic
advantages; the special adaptability of
our soil and climate to the production
of fruit; the advantages offered to the
stock-raiser and dairyman; the wealth
of our fisheries and the value of our
lime industry—all these have been the
subjects of many articles, aud we are
grateful at all times for any informa
tion concerning any of them likely to
be of general interest or possible value
to the county. Each correspondent is
properly the judge as to what is of most
interest in his or her own neighbor
hood. Often, perhaps generally, these
are "trivial matters," but after all it is
the little things which enter most
largely into the every-day life of the
"common people" at whose firesides
the local paper is most welcome. Possi
bly if our critic were a subscriber and
regular reader of The Islander, in
stead of merely seeing it "sometimes,"
as he admits is the case, at the expense
pf some one else, he might himself be
come interested in many apparently
'♦trivial matters," as well as in the
larger affairs of our little county. We
note that he says he intends to become
a subscriber, when he renews his sub
scription to one of the larger papers
with which we have a clubbing ar
rangement, and we therefore credit
him with his good intentions and shall
be still more pleased to credit him with
the amount of his subscription. It is
only through the regular support and
good will of the county's best citizens
that the publication of any creditable
paper in the county is rendered possi
ble. If our subscription list included
the name of every taxpayer and we re
ceived from each annually the full
subscription price, the likelihood of our
becoming plutocrats before the milleni
um would be extremely small.
Bomb of our esteemed fellow citizens
of the Republican faith want to know
what is meaut by the declaration in the
county platform relating to "the North
west Republican Association and the
principles and purposes enunciated by
|t" It is doubtful if we can fully sat
isfy the yearning for knowledge upon
this subject We understand, how
pver, that the association was organ
ized by a npinber of zealous Republi
pans, representing1, or purporting to
represent, seven northwestern coun
ties, about three years ago, and no
doubt can reasonably be entertained
that It has both "principles and pur
poses, for if it was unprincipled and
purposeless it wouldn't be Republican.
W§ violate no confidence in remarking
that the paramount idea at the time of
its organization seemed to be that a
combination was necessary in order to
secure for those firm in the faith in the
counties represented a fair share of
pfflcial plums, or the chances to acquire
them afforded by the nominations
made by the state conventions, or sena
torial elections of the state legislatures.
There has only been one general dis
tribution of offices made by the people
since that time, and it happened, un
fortunately, that when {we went forth
to meet the enemy, at the time preferred
to, we were theirs; hence the necessity,
pr desirability, of continuing to stand
pat for the Association and the "prin
ciples and purposes enunciated by it."
Jf this explanation does not sufficiently
explain, we refer dissatisfied inquirers
to the members of the convention who
»(cordially indorsed" the organisation,
and are of course thoroughly convers
ant with its alms and objects, or to Mr.
Shultz, of Roche Harbor, who Is the
pfflcial representative of the Associa
tion in this county.
At last, after fourteen years, the
death of the brave General Gordon,
}pt t to his fearful fate by the govern- \
ment for which he fought a hero's fight
among the fiercei; fanatics of the Upper
Nile, has been avenged. He had been
a^nt into the desjsrt upon a moat diffi,
pult and dangerous mission and had he
been, «ipnorted|py 5 the government
wbM he had begged to "smash the
Mahdi" as m wjqulaite of success, the
Poudan would have been conquered for
England and civilization a dozen yean
tfo, many millions of treasure and
thousands of lives might have been
saved, and the light of his own great
life might have been shining still on
the border of the desert and th« ahore
of the Nile. The crushing defeat of
the dervishes by the force* under Gen
eral Kitchener and the capture of their
stronghold at Omdurman, across the
river from the rains of Kaartoom
where Gordon fell, doubtless marks the
firm establishment of English rule on
the Upper Nile and removes the last
obstacle to the opening of a great high
way of commerce from the Mediter
ranean to the Cape of Good Hope. We
may well rejoice with England in this
victory over the forces of barbarism,
fanaticism and Mohammedanism, for
whatever may be said at times of Brit
ain's methods in extending the sphere
of her mighty dominion, it must be
admitted that genuine progress, en
lightenment and good government fol
low everywhere in the paths of her
conquests.
The platform adopted by the Be*
publicans of King county is "not in it"
in point of length or strength as com
pared with the one adopted at the re
cent Republican convention in this
county. We could spare three-quarters
of our platform and then have more to
stand on than our fellow Republicans
of King county seem to have consid
ered sufficient. A committee able to
prepare such a stemwinder in half an
hour (and one of them a recent convert
from the Democratic faith), and have
it typewritten too, could undoubtedly
astonish the natives if allowed an hour
or two more for preparation. It isn't
"all wool and a yard wide," but it is
more than a third of a yard long, in
nonpareil type, and, what is more im
portant, the material is good and well
put together. There is absolutely no
limit to the number who can stand on
it with entire safety.
There Is room for considerable ex
pansion in the sheep industry in west
ern Washington before it even approx
imates the proportions which it has
already assumed in eastern Oregon.
One firm at Priueville, Oregon, has
shipped 75,000 sheep to Chicago from
Baker City, and very likely other large
shipments have been made from other
places. Can any of our fusiomst friends
"point with pride" to any such ship
ments while wool was on tho free
list?"
The wheat farmers of eastern Wash
ington are not likely to become objects
of charity this year, notwithstanding
the collapse of the great Leiter "cor
ner." Washington wheat is quoted in
the Seattle market now at 58 to 61
cents. These quotations mean about
43 cents and 46 cents in eastern Wash
ington, the difference between there
and tide water averaging approximate
ly 15 cents, including freight aud ware
house charges.
The West Coast Lumberman esti
mates the probable total consumption
of lumber in Washington in 1898 at
1,000,000,000 feet. And it says that
"logs in all coast markets are higher
and no surplus of stocks."
The Republican joint candidate for
senator from Skagit and San Juan
counties is doubtless expected to Ham
mer all Republicans into line.
Columbia B-ver Salmon.
The pack of Columbia river salmon
for the spring of 1898 has reached 283,
--530 cases, on the basis of four dozen I
pound cans to the case. According to
a report issued by Taylor, Young A Co.,
salmon brokers of Portland, the outputs
of twenty cauneri are estimated as
follows:

A prominent New York physician
tn discussing the merits of Bipans
Tabula witE a brother M.D. said:
Several years ago I assorted that
if one wished to become a philan
thopist. and do a beneficent deed
one that would help the whole hu

The largest retail drug store in
America is that of Hegeman & Co.

A reporter who went thereto learn *
X Km HP^bm. m
how Bipans Tab
ules were selling
bought a five-cent
carton and asked:
"Do yon have
much call for
these?"
He was referred
to a gentleman who
proved to be the
head of the depart,
meat. He said:
" The sale of Rfpaas Tabules is
constant and is increasing, due
especially to the influential character
of the testimonials in the daily press,
and growing out of these, through
the recommendation of friend to
friend. Satisfaction with them is
-very general. When once they are
begun I notice that a permanent
customer for them is made. This, 1
believe, is through their intrinsic
merit, which proves the bona fide
character of the advertising. I think
them specially useful in the general
ran of stomach troubles."

Aa Elderly Lady.
An elderly lady living at Fordham
Heights, a part of New York City,
and who was known to be a warn
advocate of Bipans Tabules for any
case of liver trouble or indigestion,
said to a reporter who visited her for
the purpose of learning the particu
lars of her case t " I had always
employed v physician and did so on
the last occasion I had for one, but
at that time obtained no beneficial
results. I had never had any faith
in patent medicines, but having seen
Bipans Tabules recommended very
highly m the New York Herald con.
eluded to give them a trial, and
found they were just what my case
demanded. I have never employed
ft physician since, and that means a
savins of $3 a call.
A dollar's worth of
Bipans Tabules
lasts me a month,
and I would not be
without them now
if it were my last
dollar." At the
time of this inter
view there were
present two daugh
ters who specially
objected to their mother giving a
testimonial which should parade her
name in the newspapers, but to do
this the elder lady argued: "There
be other cases just like mine,
and I am sure, I take great pleasure
in recommending the Tabules to any
one afflicted as I was. If the telling
about my case in the papers enables
some other person similarly affected
to be as greatly benefited as I have
been, I see no objection." The daugh
ters, knowing bow earnestly she felt
about the benefit she had received,
decided she was quite right.
