Three hundred and ten sacks of oats were shipped frm Carter's wharf on the Thompson,Baturday,to Seattle and 375 sacks shipped from there on the same steamer Tuesday. Most of the Chinamen who have been working for the Island Packing Co. all summer were paid off in full last Tuesday morning and left on the Thompson at noon for Seattle. Wanted—Prime clover hay (2nd crop preferred); mangel wurtzels; carrots rutabagas; cabbage- onions. Address, with price, Ben Lich ten burg, Gem Farm, Lopez, Washington. * Mrs. W. H. Parsons, of Seattle, will be in Friday Harbor, Nov. 1, with a large and elegant line of millinery at reasonable prices. Any orders for cus tomers wishing goods before that time will be promptly filled. * The Island Packing Co. is now hav ing a new shingle roof put on their cannery building in place of the old corrigated iron one, which had nearly rusted out. Contractor J. L. Farns worth has the work in charge. The candidate for joint senator, Em erson Hammer, the Republican nom inee, has been making a canvass of the county. He has made many friends during his visit and is pleased with the political conditions in the county. Picked up near Henry island, Sept. 27th, by George Smith, of Roche Har bor, a small boat marked "R. AC. Co," measuring 16 feet long and 3J feet beam. Owner can have same by call ing on him at above named place and proving property and paying charges. Judge Lichtenberg, of Lopez, was in the Harbor the first of the week. He reports that he is getting his place in fine shape. When he is through with his contemplated improvements he will have, without question, one of (lie finest places in San Juan county. The Gem farm will be a gem indeed. The Anacortes American reports that the Fidalgo cannery has put up about 50,000 cases of salmon this season. The Anacortes cannery follows with 32,000. All of the Anacortes canneries lost more or less fish through the robbing of their traps, but this was discontinued after one party had been fired upon by watchmen at the traps. On about November Ist we move in to our new Brick Block, now being constructed, on Holly street, New Whatcom. We are reducing our big stock at prices less than wholesale cost. Now is your chance to lay in your winter's supply of Clothing and Dry Goods. Greenberg Bros., Oakland Block, New Whatcom. *6t Rev. Win. J. Dickson, formerly pas tor of the Episcopal church at East Sound and until recently in charge of the Episcopal parish at Anacortes, has received a call from the Episcopal church at Chehalis, Wash., and moved there with his family on Wednesday, October 19. We are glad to note his promotion in the work, but are very sorry to see him leave this section, for in him we have always found a most persistent and faithful worker and a man who will be greatly missed by the people of this and Skagit counties. That prosperity may follow him and his family wherever they go is the wish of the entire community. According to figures compiled from the assessment returns by the Trade Register, of Seattle, the total number of sheep in the state reported for as sessment this year was 503,324, which is probably considerably less than the actual number. It is estimated by the superintendent of the forestry reserves there are now 315,000 sheep feeding on the mountains of the Yakima reserve. San Juan county is credited with 5,377, which is considerably the largest num ber returned from any county in West ern Washington, the next largest be ing Whatcom, with 4,399. For pur poses of state taxation sheep are valued by the state board of equalization at $1.00 each iv every county, or only about one-third of their actual average value in this county, where good spring lambs find ready sale now at $2.50 each, and of course full grown ewes and wethers are worth more. Judge Maxwell, one of the most prominent Demorcats of Whatcom ccunjy and one of the Bryan presiden tial electors two years ago, has just re turned from the Palouse country and other portions of the state, reports Eastern Washington in a very pros perous condition, and little interest be ing taken in politics. "The silver issue is dead," said Judge Maxwell to a re porter, "dead as a mackerel, and the political speakers can'; draw a baker's dozen to their meetings in the wheat country. Two years ago I advocated free silver. It was a time of great financial depression, every one was out of work, and I felt that there must be some reason for it. Like many others I hit on the silver idea as a remedy. 1 see now that the monetary system had nothing to do with these conditions. It was overproduction. Since then short foreign crops have given us a market and the Dingley tariff has in creased. 1 activity in all manufacturing centers. The conntry is prosperous and the people contented. I agreed with the Populists two years ago solely on the one issue of silver. Now that it is a dead issue and swept out of the way I have no more use for the party "How do you think the state will go politically this fell. Judge?" asked the reporter. "Well, I shouldn't wonder if It would go Republican," was the judge's conservative answer.—Wnat com Reveille. Hon. F. W. Cnshman, of Tacom*, the Republican candidate for congress, addressed the people of Friday Harbor, at Odd Fellows' hall, Monday evening as per advertisement, on the political issues of the day from a BfP v]£ loa° standpoint. A large and enthualastte audience greeted &c speaker, q«to» percentage of which came from Ureas island, Roche Harbor and other por tions of the county. Though some wnat worn from constant speaking since the opening of the campaign^ t. Cushman \ made \ one of ; the strongest political 5 speeches ever made in the nt^iT ltbhl* customary skill, he followed the dainty tracks of Washing ton's pink^hiskered representative, or rather misrepresentative, through his hKf!!!01^ 1 reer and scathingly re buked the dude's I treasonable attitude toward the patriotic administration of President I McKinley. The live ques tions of the T day were ably and patri otically handled and the orator was greeted with round after round of ap plause. • A couple of hitherto strong PopuUste were heard discussing the speech, Tuesday morning, and both ex pressed themselves as convinced that the present good times ' had been brought I about by the enacting into laws of some of the principles advocated yite Republican party, and that they naa had a enough of calamity howling wnen there was no calamity to howl about. After Mr. Cushman's address, Dr. Curtis, of Skagit county, made a five-minute address to the people, in which he ably endorsed the points scored by the main speaker of the even ng.

We are informed that a new hall will be built and ready for use by th© last of November at West Sound. Tom Barker and family, of Dawson, Alaska, are visiting at O. Barkers. He reports doing very well while there. Clarence Van Sant, of East Sound, was severely injured by the falling of a horse, breaking some bones jn his ankle. Dr. Fitz Mat hew is attending him. Mr. Hambly reports about seven tons of evaporated prunes from his evaporator. Some loss on account of lack of drying capacity and he intends to build another compartment next year. He has made a sale of all his stock of prunes. Geo. Gibbs, of Orcas, is at this writing planting 50,000 Holland bulbs. This in dustry, by the real pluck of Mr. Gibbs, is making a stir all over the country. He has received the silver medal from the Omaha Exposition and it is an honor to its owner.

The steamer Roche Harbor carried a considerable number of stalwart Repub licans to Friday Harbor, Monday even ing, to hear Frank Cushman speak. Morris Phipps, who returned last week from a visit to his parents and old home in Maine, leaves this week for LaConner, where he will engage in the livery busi ness with his brother Edson. Carl Johnson, who had for a consider able time been one of the company's most faithful and reliable employes here, left Tuesday for Oakland, California, to en gage in Salvation Army work. He was a most zealous and consistent worker here in the cause which he has espoused and he carries with him to his new field the good wishes of many friends and acquain tances. Saturday evening there was a rousing little political meeting here at which the principal address was delivered by Dr. Curtis, of Anacortes, a life long Democrat until two years ago, when the old party forsook the principles which had made it great and allied itself with the most dan gerous elements which have menaced the country's welfare. There could be no question about his absolute sincerity or his honest belief in the wisdom of the economic principles to which the Repub lican party stands committed in the state and nation. It was a convincing talk, free from vituperation of any sort and suffici ently enlivened by anecdotes to keep the attentive audience good humored. Dr. Curtis was accompanied by Emerson Hammer, of Wooley, candidate for joint senator, who made a most excellent im pression among the voters here, and also by Hon. W, H. Thacker, candidate for re-election as representative, John W. Firth, candidate for sheriff, and C. B, Buxton, candidate for assessor. The schooner "Wanderer", which left here February 25th, with Cant. M. North man, of this place, H. B. Vidalin, of As toria, and Chas. Crawford, formerly fire man on the Roche Harbor, upon a pros pecting expedition along the coast of southeastern Alaska, returned Sunday with the three men looking bronzed and hearty and good humored, despite the fact that none of them hi id succeeded in "striking it rich" in the new land of gold. They spent most of the summer on or j near the Cleveland peninsula, sixty miles south of Wrangel and twenty mile north of Kitchikan. It is on this peninsula that that the seventeen claims known as the "Gold Standard Group," whose princi pal owner has succeeded in getting them pretty well advertised, are located. Quite a glowing article concerning them appears in last Sunday's P -I. The men of the "Wanderer" party do not sp^eak so glowingly of them, and in fact they express the opinion that there are few, if any, claims on the entire peninsula that it will pay to work. They say there is any quantity of quartz but "nothing in it," and they do not appear to have much confidence in the mineral wealth of any part of southeastern Alaska, which has been swarming with prospectors all sum mer. On their way down the coast they saw the sloop "Mayflower," of East Sound, with Mr. Smith and son, near Seymour narrows, and Joseph Hilton and his partner were in the same locali ty on their way home. A. Stahl, of Orcas, who left here Dec. 20th, in the sloop "Crab," was at Bella Bella, an Indian settlement, where there was but one other white man and one white boy. Stahl had built a wharf there and worked some for a cannery company and done quite well. He intends to remain in that region this winter and engage in hunting and trapping and proposes to push on into the interior to Dawson. The "Wan derer" cleared from the Mary Island custom house Sept. 12 and met head winds nearly all the way home. Roche. A Sure Thing' ror Too. A transaction in which you cannot loseisa sure ihlug.
