Irwin States his Position TO THE ELECTORS OF SAN JUAN COUNTY: As a candidate for the Republican nomination for Representative in the Legislature from San Juan County, I feel that every Republican voter in the county is entitled to know what my position is upon questions of especial interest and importance likely to come before the legislature for determination. With this end in view and realizing that it will be impossible for me to meet every voter personally, although I should be pleased to do so, I take this means of informing the electors of the county how, in the event of my election, I will work and vote upon important public questions in which it is presumed they are especially concerned. I will support for United States Senator the choice of the people of the entire state as expressed at the primaries to be held on the 13th. of September. In order that legislation may be more truly representative of the popular will and public servants more directly amenable to those whom they serve, I will vote and work for the Initiative, Referendum and Recall. I will vote for and use my best efforts to secure the enactment of a County Unit Local Option Law. I will vote to restore to the people the right to nominate judges of the supreme court at the direct primary. I will vote to continue and make as thorough as possible the investigation of all charges of graft in state offices and institutions. I will use my best endeavors to have all fish trap taxes paid into the treasury of the county in which the traps are located, for the use and benefit of said county. I will endeavor to have the State Aid Road law so amended as to exempt from its operations the counties of San Juan and Island, whose people are now taxed without any resulting benefit. I will favor the enactment of more effective laws for the extermination of noxious weeds and insect pests. I will support all measures calculated to lower taxes, distribute the burden of taxation more equitably, promote economy, and efficiency in the public service and enhance the material welfare of the people. Upon these principles, I solicit and will greatly appreciate the support of the Republican electors of this county. Respectfully, L. J. Irwin. Friday Harbor, Washington, August 25, 1910. Mr. McMillin and the Republican Convention Continued from Page One upon a personal statement (assuming, of course, that he is correctly reported,) but I cannot permit the statement as published to go unchallenged! Yours very truly, John S. McMillin. The request of Mr. McMillin to give publicity to the above communication is cheerfully complied with. The Islander has no disposition to do him an injustice and its respect and kindly feelings for Senator Blair are so great that it would be a matter for sincere regret if anything were published in these columns misrepresenting any public utterance of his in any essential particular. At the time of the Poindexter meeting, the editor could not attend as he was ill at his home, and the paper's brief report was based upon what he was told by others who were present. If any misunderstanding upon their part or Upon our part, we have led the Island to place Mr. McMillin and Mr. Blair in a false light before the people of the county, we express our sincere regret. The people can draw their own conclusions from the statements which the gentlemen themselves make. Senator Blair says: "While the brief mention of the Poindexter meeting as reported, in the Islander was not exactly correct as to my remarks, it can readily be seen that what I said, having been repeated from one to another, might have been understood as reported, by the time it reached the Islander. With Mr. Rudow, I arrived in Seattle the evening before the convention and called upon a friend there who was chairman of the delegation from his ward of the city. He told me that we would have nothing to do at the convention except to endorse what had been done at a meeting held that day in Tacoma and from which he had just returned. Arriving at the convention the following morning and meeting Mr. McMillin, I told him I thought we would elect Mr. Rudow chairman of the San Juan delegation as I held two proxies of delegates who could not attend. He replied that I would not need to vote my proxies as everything was already fixed, or arranged. I offered no objection, knowing it to be useless. We were consulted by Mr. McMillin as to the assignment of the members of our delegation to the committees and the names of our three committee men were announced by Mr. Rudow just previous to adjournment for the noon recess. "At the afternoon session of the convention, Mr. McMillin assumed the chairmanship of our delegation without having been elected, and announced the vote of the delegation on each question before the convention. I offered no objections simply because I knew it to be useless, and because I felt as Mr. Moran stated later regarding himself, in his letter, that I wanted to take no part in a convention run upon the plan of having everything, even the selection of nominees for the judges of the Supreme Court of the state for which the convention was called, decided upon by a few on the day previous to the convention. Concerning my recent correspondence with Mr. McMillin, I will say that as it was upon matters in no way connected with either the convention or the Poindexter meeting, the thought of mentioning the meeting or the report in the paper did not occur to me at the time of writing. It is not agreeable to me to have any personal controversy with Mr. McMillin and I do not intend to. In my remarks about the Taooma convention and his part therein, I told the simple truth as I understood it. In many of the statements contained in his letter, especially in regard to my endorsement of the convention's proceedings, he is mistaken." —John L. Blair.

The above figures total over $1800 and represent the approximate amount of cash paid to farmers at this one point for their cream product for two weeks. If the figures for the entire county were obtainable, the total would probably be at least twice the amount, as there is a good creamery in operation at Lopez and some cream is shipped out of the county. Is there any other branch of farming for which an equally good showing can be made? A. L. March has sold his interest in the fast and popular passenger launch Yankee Doodle to Capt. W. H. Kasch, his former partner, who will continue to operate it on the Bellingham route. Mr. March will join his brother in the development of their ranch and water front property on Sinclair, or Cottonwood, island. They have nearly a mile of water frontage admirably located for summer homes and they hope to establish a popular summer resort there. Their many friends in this county will wish them success.

The best and most profitable market for grain, hay, and coarse fodder that a farmer can find is a good cow. We have often recommended the use of land plaster in the gutters of the stable. It serves to dry the gutters and absorb the odors in the barn. Now and then we hear men declare that silage is injurious to cattle, but those who have used it for 15 years know the folly of such talk. It is hard to make a man who has always guessed at everything, never kept books or records, believe that his guess-work judgment of cows is not good enough. It was fully ten years after allalfred was proved a success on the Hoar Dairyman farm before many of the neighbors were induced to try it. So it has been with the silo, there are many who are not convinced yet. Men who have made a deep study of tuberculosis, its use and its use upon animals, believe that they have never seen any ill effects in use. We know of herds that have been tested once or twice a year, and the animals are all healthy. The size of the cattle varies according to their natural taste. Some prefer them in inches wide, others eight or twenty-one inches, and the average weight varies from four to eight pounds. A very good size gutter or eighteen inches wide can be found for a living. The Americanologist, that it is not necessary for a man to be always changing his diet, in order to make a living, has spoken and said that whether he be on the low or the low, whether his so-called loam, no matter what impediment exists. Science has always been found for a length of this good, green diet. A public basket, given at the public auction, will be found at the San Juan Military Academy, September 4, by the G.P. San Juan Military Academy, one day at the same time.
