FBIDAT HAEBOK, WASHTNGTOK, FRIDAY, JUKE 10, 191Q
G. A. Ludwig Brings
Suit for Divorce
G. A. Ludwig, one of the propri
etors of the Friday Harbor Journal,
has instituted an action for divorce
from his wife, Eliazabeth Ludwig,
who, resides in Minneapolis, Minn.
The complaint sets forth that the
couple were married at Lacrosse,
Wis., Dec. 26, 1882 and lived in
Minneapolis until Sept. 1906, when
the plaintiff moved to this state "in
order to secure permanent employ
ment and recover his lost health;"
that when he came to this state "it
was mutually agreed between plain
tiff and defendant that defendant
should move to this state sometime
during the spring of 1907." Plain
tiff states that he "regularly sent
to the defendant money for her sup
port and maintenance in such sums
as he was able to secure and such
amounts as were consistent with
the life and standing of said plain
taiff; that he requested the defend
ant to move to the state of Wash
ington and make her home with the
plaintiff," which she refused to do,
until sometime in July, 1908, when
she wrote to the plaintiff that un
less he could send more money for
her support it would be useless for
him to longer correspond with her
and that she did not care again to
hear from him unless her request
for more funds was complied with,
and that since that time "she has
refused to correspond with the
plaintiff or in any manner treat
him as her husband, and during all
of said time has refused to move to
the state of Washington. "The plain
tiff states that he has no property,
real or personal, except a $100 in
terest in the Fi iday Harbor Jour
nal which he asks the court to award
to him.
In her answer Mrs. Ludwig states
that from Sept. 1906, when plain
tiff moved to this state, to Sept.,
1908, the total amount of money
sfcjit to her by him did not exceed
$60 and that since Sept., 1908, she
has received no assistance whatever
from him and has been obliged to
support herself "by baking and ped
aling bread, sewing by the day and
by any other labor that she could
find to do," while living with their
son, Albert W. Ludwig, 26 years
old,"whose income is barely enough
to support those depending upon
him." She asks the court to make
an order directing the plaintiff to
furnish her funds for her support
pending the trial of the case and
also to defend the suit. She denies
that the plaintiff came to this state
on account of his health and says
that he was at the time of his mar
riage and has been at all times since
his marriage a "particularly robust
and healthy man." She interposes
a general denial of the allegations
of the complaint and the court
granted the motion of her attorney
that the plaintiff be directed to pay
$50 as an attorney's fee for the de
fense of the suit.
PISH PIRATES CAUSING WORRY
TO OWNKS OF SALMON TRAPS
1
:' Fish pirates are making their an
nual appearance. From the salmon
traps come '■'reports ■;.■ of ;; robberies
that are annoying to the trap own
ers. The amount of loot to date is
not large but many of : the ! big fisher
men. now believe that the arrest
near Rain* of the alleged I pirates
last autumn had little effect in curb
ing persons who are inclined to rob
the traps for a livelihood.
V s If 1 invention, courage, law and
guards can suppress the persistent
fish pirate his career is riot to . run
forever. For years salmon have
been stolen from the trap nets of
Puget Sound and the victims have
been powerless to do more than par
tially check the evil. On every trap
one watchman and sometimes two
are stationed, but even these guards
have been unable to do more than
partly prevent the thefts. Pirates
have flourished on the Sound who
possessed such hardened characters
that they would take salmon from
trap guards at the point of a gun.
Trap owners are-. seeking K some
effective means of absolutely rid
ding the waters of the pirate, but
nothing outside ■ of carefully select
ed guards has yet been found.

Sound, is assisting her father, E.

The Beauties of the San
■ Juan Islands
By Alice Harriman, in the Pacific Northwest Commerce f»»»»»M
S£The "Travel and Resort" number
of the Pacific Northwest Commerce
contains a nicely illustrated article
on "The Beauties of the San Juan
Islands," by Mrs. Alice Harriman,
author of "Tillicum Tales"and other
stories and one of the best known
writers of Seattle, who has been an
enthusiast on the attractions of the
islands since her first visit here
some two or three years ago. In
Friday Harbor with Mt. Baker in the distance.
the special article above mentioned
she says:
"A wide, wide stretch of ocean
reaching waves—the straits of Juan
de * o«a. The Vancouver coast <ji m _
ly shows to the kit of the steamer,
while three forts form a triangle of
headlands on one side of which Port
Townsend lies tranquilly, its lovely
harbor dotted with two, three and
four masted ships waiting for car
goes. The. square-riggers, brigs,
and barkentines and schooners sug
gest with their varied masts and
sails wide seas and far lands from
which they come. Mount Baker,
"The Great White Watcher," stands
out grandly, solitary in eternal sen
tinelship. The breeze freshens here
after the quiet run from Seattle on
the Inland Sea of Puget Sound,
brightening the eye and roughing
the cheek healthily as the comfort
able steamer speeds swiftly onward.
Blue headlands beckon enticingly,
mysteriously, directly ahead, faint
and yet fainter in tone as the per
spective diminishes.
"It does not take long for the un
known to resolve itself into beauty.
Mt. Constitution looms high, as
rugged and well founded as its
name. Turtle Back shows plainly
where it got its name and a round
ed hill near by obligingly rears a
head for the turtle's back, just
where a head should be. Islands,
large and small, crowd into «iew,
green with picturesque clumps of
trees or fantastic with wind-distort
ed, dwarfed cedar or juniper such
as one associates with Japanese
views;dark-gray with rugged bould
ers and rock-bound as the New Eng
land coast without the austerity,—
picturesque, fascinating, alluring,
the San Juan islands greet the voy
ager with their strangely far-from
home, soft, Spanish names, sunlit
skies.springlike temperature.health
giving ozone, promontories, and
sandy beaches, sheljtered coves and
entrancingly shadowed country
roads.
"Surely never were islands set
more advantageously for the seeker
after beauty, after health, after
rest or recreation than the San Juan
groups. They compare favorably
with the Thousand islands, the Gre
cian archipelago, or the Orkneys'.
The ninety-two islands, varying
from two to thirty-six thousand
acres, have each their own individu
ality, blending into the perfect
whole. The accessibility to the
resident of the Sound cities as well
as the traveller far afield is one of
the least of their charms. The very
names of the Canal de Haro,Rosario
Strait, Gulf of Georgia and Juan
de Fuca, bounding the islands, are a
joy, while San Juan, Lope*, Orcas,
Decatur, Henry (names of a few
otthe groups;) but serve to intensi
fy the indefinable feeling «f foreign
lands, of historic names both *t
home and abroad.
"The boat takes its circuitous
way from Richardson to Argyle;
from Argyle to Friday Harbor;
from Friday Harbor to Roche Har
bor, thence to Orcas past the Mo
ran's magnificent home and so on
to lovely East Sound. From there
the traveller can go on to Belling
ham —that city made from three
towns to further the best interest
of all, and return to ± Seattle over
the same route —each hour a delight,
each moment a pulse of new life.
Never for a moment ;' does enjoy
ment numb into-satiety. Wide reach
and ( high headlands, changing as- j
pects of hill and valley, coves and
sandy beaches keep one's zest ever
keen. : 7; '
"One could spend weeks or even
months exploring the many beauties
of the San Juan Islands. Campfires
can be made in some sheltered t- bay,
clams cooked Siwash fashion in the
hot ashes. Farm houses are hospit
able. You can loaf, one day, with
scarce ; wind enough to move the
branching, languidly tropical ferns;
the next day brings a spanking
breeze that will make the ; r steamer
or yawl breast gallantly the waves.
Elach day will z give'i its - particular
delight. One may be on San Juan,
where the V English flag last ;; floated
over American soil. You * can ; still
see the blockhouse and part of the
stockade. Again one can view the
ruins of the American camps where
Pickett (famous for his '> gallant
charge at Gettysburg,) in 1859, : in
the face of ; two hundred British guns
and near to two thousand men made
answer: "My orders were to make
camp on this island and to occupy
this ■: post and remain here. Nor
shall I leave so long as I have j one
man to load a gun." . And there he
camped until I the islands were ac
knowledged soil of the United
States. '.
"Another day one may be at Fri
day Harbor where the University of
Washington has a summer school to
study the teeming sea life, so per
fect and so varied in its all too little
known wonders and beauty. It may
be at Roche Harbor that one lingers,
where the lime rock is quarried. It
may be back from the water in the
lovely valleys where fruit grows to
perfection,—luscious plums,brilliant
cherries, glowing • peaches—where
wheat and cattle, sheep and farm
produce make the farmers prosper
ous and contented and the summer
visitor sleek to unctuous as he revels
in real cream and the simple but
appetizing fare. Every inlet has
its-charm; every beach its peace.
The tide will carry you through a
rift in the rocks so narrow that
your boat will almost grate against
them. Not to ride, drive or walk
to the summit of Mount Constito
tionisto miss the height of the is
lands and the height of sight-seeing
on the group. One can lookwer
the panorama of the island dotted

Have You Planted
Flowers In The Yard?
' . r . *• ■
The following taken from the edi
torial columns of the Inland Herald,
of June 6, published at Spokane,
only goes to show the interest mani
fested in other : communities in thesV
matter of beautifying the home
grounds. The Islander has urged *
the importance of this for several
weeks and several have i already 61- -1
lowed our suggestion. The • Inland
Herald says: 1 - '•'*£*ss
v "Strolling through the residence
section of Spokane, one occasionally \
chances upon the! ideal home, and to -
really approach the ideal the home ->
must be surrounded ■■ by flowers. Of- v;;
ten the most inconsequential i house,
tiny sometimes and more often far
from modern in architecture or fin-U a
ish, will attract attention when it
seems to be only the setting in a
"garden of roses."
"It costs so little to give the home :
an environment of * fragrance and . >
beauty, and the efforts become 'so^;^
much ■of a pleasure, that , one won- ' «
ders why any person who has a bit :- v
of 3 yard, whether owned or leased,
should neglect to enhance the beau- '
ty of its surroundings. ' '-'':''■
:■■: "It may be lack of knowledge
or merely neglect, ■ but ;it seems ■ a"^,
shame that so many seeds must be ■ • ;
wasted each season in the stores when
only a few cents and an hour or two
of the lightest toil will bring beau-:
tiful budding life into every door- ■
yard. ' ■ ." ,
"Again, there seems something; * ;
stable and worth while . about the ,
man or woman who plants flowers -
and cares for them. ■ There is some-,
thing of the better ; sentiment ex- ..
pressed which arouses respect in .
everyone. There is something so
vital and interesting in plant life
that the flowers seem to be almost
animated.
-" "The" old-fashioned "woman kept ';'?.
her geraniums . for. many seasons,
cutting new"slips" from the mother
plant, watching all of them grow
and attending to them i with the same
tenderness she would > bestow upon
a child.:? A bit of .■ flower in the win- 1
dow, a garden of blossoms in sum
mer—somehow these helped give
the woman a character - - and made
the home a cheerful place to be. "
"Every citizen of Spokane should>
plant flowers. :If you don't s know -
how, any seedsman can tell you in a >
few moments. "' ' > r \
Vl The Portland rose carnival has .
been in full swing this week and
the report comes that the city has
been entertaining more than 100,000
visitors, many of : them coming from
the far eastern states for no other
purpose than to see the beautiful
rose show. There is no good reason
why the home surroundings should
not be made as beautiful. It creates
an impression upon visitors that is
lasting and the necessary expense
I incurred by the . grower 5 ;is^ but, \~i j^SfJj
I trifle as compared with the pleasure
he gets out of it, to say nothing of
the benefits the town would receive.
It is not too lace yet to do something;
along this ; line. Don't allow your
yard to be filled up with unsightly
weeds that are sure to grow. If
your home f surroundings ■ are J made
beautiful your properly is enhanced
in value,and when the visitor leaves i ;^
