MAY BRING IN
WATER SUPPLY
■■■■ ■*>•'.■ • ■: :, ....■■ : ;.....-.- ■■ . ■. ■ i ■.:'
SPORTSMAN LAKE TO BE SOURCE OF SUPPLY
Gravity System Would Cost About $6,000
-Good fire Protection and Plenty h
for Manufacturing Purposes '%
" The . Friday Harbor Commercial
Club has been working for some
time upon a proposition to bring,
water in from Sportsman lake in or
der ; that the town may be afforded
ample < fire protection, an "y adequate
supply obtained or r manufacturing
purposes and ■'• for i uses other than
domestic. The club has had a sur
vey made in order to determine the
altitude Jof the lake,' the distance
from Friday Harbor and the proba
ble cost of installing a gravity sys
tem. According to the t surveyor's
notes the ~ intake at the lake would
be 139.10 feet above tidewater and
about 60, feet above the highest point
within the city limits, thereby af
fording ample fall for a fairly good
pressure all over the town. The
distance is approximately three and i
one-half miles and the only heavy :
cut that would have to be made in
laiyng the mains would be one about
300 feet long and thirty feet deep.
According to a;j letter - received by
Secretary L. J. Irwin, of the com
mercial club,, from a Seattle pipe
and supply house, the cost of the
pipe for the main would .be about
$3,000. This would ;be for '. a six
inch pipe a portion of the way and
a four inch pipe ? for. the balance of
the distance. It is also estimated
that the t cost of installing would be'
about $3,000, making the total t.v,
timated cost- $6,000. ;■:' ' ";J3gs
The lake covers an area of about
160 acres in section 33, Township 36
north, range 3 west. It. is quite
shallow in most places and during
the dry summer months . the . water
falls so that the area covered is on
ly'about half what it is in the win
ter, but it is believed that the sup
ply would be ample during the
driest seasons for all purposes for
which. the water might be used.
Owing to the shallowness of the lake
and the probable amount of decayed
matter that the water contains it |
would likely be unfit for domestic
uses, but this matters little for the
reason that there are so many fine
wells in the town to supply'this
demand. " ' '* • '
f An annual income of $1,050 has
virtually been guaranteed and it ;. is
safe to* assume that this: > amount
could easily be increased to $1,500,
or mor?, so it .will be r» readily « seen
that from a financial i standpoint S the
investment would be a good one. -;•
r Owing to an inadequate supply of
water for the industries that are al
ready established' here there is lit
tle to offer in way of encourage
ment to new industries that % might
: locate here provided ample water
• were to be had. It is the most ser
| ious drawback iwe have had to» face
■ and the Islander . hopes that the
Commercial Club may be * successful
; in its efforts to get the system in
stalled.
STATE SUPERINTENDENT- CRAWFORD
PREDICTS GOOD RUN OF SOCKEYE SALMON
The 1910 sockeye season for Pu
get Sound will be much larger than
the run four years ago and probably j
the largest off season in the history
of the industry, according to State
. Hatcheries Superintendent Jack
Crawford, who has made a study
of the outputs of hatcheries in
Washington and British Columbia.
i>' "Five years ago we predicted the
Jargest run in the history of ; the in
dustry for 1909 simply on the
strength of the hatcheries; output,
said Crawford. . ' ....>
--' "In British Columbia four years
ago the hatcheries turned ' out an
• unusual | amount of salmon fry and
this fall the run will be very heavy
for an off season. The run of
springs will be heavy, as well as the
soekeye." ,

PROVISIONS OF THE HUMPHREY
BILL CLASSIFYING MOTOR BOATS
Following are the principal pro
visions of Representative Hum
phrey's motor boat bill, which has
already passed the Senate and is
fully expected to pass the House:
I It divides all boats of this kind
into three classes: Class 1, less
than 26 feet in length; class 2, 26
feet or over and not more than 40
feet in length; class 3, 40 feet or
over and not more than 65 feet in
length. Every motor boat that is
more than 65 feet long is not a mot
or boat according to this proposed
law, but will come under the gener
al laws of navigation covering all
steam craft. A motor boat is des
cribed in the bill as any vessel not
more than 65 feet in length and
driven by machinery, thus taking in
steamships within the -prescribed
size, as well as boats driven by gas
oline engines.
The bill provides that class 1 shall
carry a white light aft to be visible
all around the horizon, and a red
and green light forward, showing
green-to starboard and red to port
and to be visible to two points abaft
the beam, each on its own side.
Classes 2 and 3 are to carry a
white light forward, constructed to
throw an unbroken light over 20
points of the compass, .10 on each
side; also a white light aft to show
all around the horizon; also on the^
starboard side a green light to show
unbroken light over an arc of 10
points of the compass, and on the
port side a red light to show the
Live Stock Sale to
I Ek Feature of fair
One of the . features of the second
annual . Western 1 Washington Fair,
to be held in Seattle next Septem
ber, will be a live stock sale, to be!
conducted under the asupices of the I
fair i association during the < closing
days of £ the fair; ? This sale will j
be attended by live stock fanciers j
from all \ over the northwest and j
leading wholesale | meat dealers of
this section .of the country * have
promised to have representatives on I
hand to snap up ■ the fat cattle, !
| sheep and , swine that have' taken!
j part in the exhibition.
, This live stock sale will afford
great *, opportunity to breeders and I
farmers to obtain % fancy prices f for
their cattle this fall and will also
provide a means of meeting expen
ses of exhibitors, especially in the
fat live stock departments. Prices
for live stock on the hoof have never
been as high in the ; history of ; the
northwest, and farmers who 1 put in
especial care upon fattening animals
for the live stock show at the fair
will have chances to make a nice
little . clean-up on their exhibits, as
well as being saved the expense of
returning their animals to > their
farms. "«.;'■
In order to encourage the farm
ers and breeders of this part of the
country to prepare exhibits for . the
fair's live stock show, the associa
tion will offer a number of valuable
money premiums for the best ex
hibits of fat cattle m grades and
cross breeds. Steers and heifers,
from calves to three year olds, in
single and herd exhibits, come in
for these prizes, and there will be
many rich opportunities for fat
sheep and hogs under practically
j the same conditions.
j , ' Growers of farm produce have
i not been forgotten/ and the associa
tion will offer many rich prizes for
farm, individual, county and com
munity exhibits of fruits, vege
tables, grains and >: forage 0 crops.
Some of these prizes run to $100 in
value.
Applications for preimum lists
should be made to Secretary Guy
McL. Richards, Globe Building,
Seattle. '
Notice €6 Postmasters ; ;
Olga, Juae I—Postmaster Chase,
of Irby, Wash., ;T president of j the
State . League of third and fourth
class postmasters, has called a meet
ing of the postmasters of San Juan
county to be held at the i Olga Inn,
at Olga, on Thursday; June 9, at
7:30 p. m. Business -of great S im
protance is to be* brought \ before
the meeting, and eviery postmaster
in the comity is urged to attend.

same on that side.
Every motor boat must have a
whistle or other sound-producing
mechanical contrivance capable of
producing a blast of two seconds or
more in duration. Every motor
boat of classes 2 and 3 must likewise
carry a fog horn, and class 3 must
carry a bell not less than eight in
ches across the mouth.
Every motor boat must carry life
preservers, life belts, buoyant cush
ions, or ring buoys sufficient to sus
tain afloat every person on board
and so placed as to be readily access
ible.
All motor boats carrying passen
gers for hire must be run by a per
son duly licensed for 'such service.
The bill however, does not propose
to compel an examination for the
license. This is simply a precau
tion to enable the government offi
cials to make sure that boats of this
kind used as passenger vehicles are
in the hands of people of ordinary
judgment. But the bill empowers
the inspectors to revoke the license
in case the holder'is found to be^
reckless, negligent or intemperate.
Every motor boat is required to
carry fire-fighting apparatus, and
this also applies to gasoline boats
more than 65 feet long. The appa
ratus must be adapted to putting
out blazing gasoline. A fine of $100
may be inflicted for any violation
of the law, collectors of customs
being made responsible for the ex
ecution of the law.

Teaching The farmer
Up How .to Coin Money
Harry hompson,the United States,
government expert on logged-off
land,' is conducting an investigation
in Dcs Moines which is of more than
ordinary interest.
. He has selected a tract of average
I logged-off land, from which he is
! clearing the stumps, keeping an ac-
I curate record of the cost of doing
the work.
The stumps are then delivered
!to the wood extracting plant of the
| Logged-off % Land ;; Utilization Com
-1 pany in Seattle and an accurate rec
ord kept of the cost of extracting
the chemicals. ( .'.'''':
i j" The yield of the various products,
such as creosote, tar, pryoligneous
acid, and charcoal, per cord of
stumps, is then measured, .. and , the
market price of these ; products ; is
then obtained. ■ --,, .
From the results obtained may be
learned 4 the net value per cord of
stump wood, and the farmer may
know how much money he is , wast
ing by burning up his stumps.

MR. McMILLIN ON
NEW MAIL SERVICE
ANACQRTB ROUTE TO BE WEU SONS
Steam Schooner Secured for Vancouver-
Tacoma freight Service, Touch-
Ing Island Points
i . Hon. John S. McMillin was in
town for an hour Monday on his
way home to Roche Harbor from a
business trip to Seattle. Speaking
of the article in last week's Island
er about the complaint of Port Stan
ley people . concerning proposed *•
changes in the mail service, he said
that people residing along the pres
ent mail route between here and
Anacortes need have no fear that
their transportation facilities will
not be fully as good under the new
arrangement as they have been for
some years . past. , "As a matter of
fact," said Mr. McMillin, "I believe
they will be very much better. The
service will probably be daily, in-.
stead '. of .triweekly % ... The steamer
which is likely to go on the route is
nearly new, reasonably fast, making
ten and a half knots an hour, has
very nice passenger ■■ accomodations
and .ample freight ""_ room for all the
business on ,the route. ... ' - ,~:ji_*
Mr. McMillin laughed at the re- >>
port that the 'Morning Star would
i not go v: on the * Seattle-Bellingham
route and that the new service
would be inaugurated, if at all, by
inferior boats. "The new company
is not yet ready to - advertise its
plans,", said Mr. McMillin. It is
busy getting ready to inaugurate its
service and it will be the best ser
vice in every respect that the coun
ty has eves- had. < • The Morning Star .: :
will be_ finely equipped for 'passen- %.- %
ger seHMBHPKftF fc*ve * nice ob
servation cabin and the boat which
will alternate with her will be
staunch and comfortable. A large
steam schooner has been secured to
handle the freight business which
the Morning Star has been handling
between Tacoma and Vancouver and
this vessel will call regularly-at
several - ports in this county. This ,
service will begin within a few days
and . the daily mail service .will be
inaugurated July 1." . /'.. , '•'
jAs the head of the largest* r manu
facturing , industry- in the county
Mr.McMillin naturally believes that
producers and shippers and the trav
eling public should give their cor-. ,
dial support to a project certain,' if :
properly sustained, to be of incal
culable advantage to all sections
