Mr. Gordon, of Shaw island, was in the Harbor yesterday. J. M. C. Warren, of Lopez, was seen on our streets yesterday. F. H. Gray, of Deer Harbor, was in tow l the first of the week. Mrs. Patsy Madden is quite seriously 111 at her home in the Valley. Capt. H. H. Hudson, was transact ing business here Wednesday. E. Gilshenan, of Waldron, was a county seat visitor yesterday. Capt. H. H. Hudson, of Shaw island, visited the Bay cities the first of the week. Mrs. P. A. Jensen is quite seriously ill at her home here with an attack of pneumonia. Mr. J. C. Groll, of Lopez, returned home Monday from a trip to Seattle and the Bay Cities. The lighthouse tender Manzanita anchored in the harbor Tuesday night and left yesterday morning. Send to Sutcliffe & Hill, Whatcom, for samples of Wall Paper and Paints. They willbe sent you free of£charge.* During the gale which swept over the Sound last Friday, the roof of Mr. Blake's barn, on Lopez island, was blown off. DENTTSTRY! Dr. Le« Baker, of Port Townaend, will be in Friday Har bor on January 17 and will remain un til January 21. All wanting work done, call early. Mr. Ben Lichtenberg, of Lopez, took his fine yacht "Pilgrim" out of the water yesterday morning and now has her high and dry on Del Hoffman's beach on Shaw island. Mr. Wm. Humphrey, of Port Stan ley, made a shipment ol choice Bald win apples the first of the week from his place on Lopez. He has just ohrist iaued his place "The North View Or chard," a very appropriate name. The big British ship "Andelana" foundered during a terrific gale in Ta coma harbor early last Saturday morn ing, and the captain and sixteen men were drowned. The ship was await ing cargo, having just discharged her ballast.* Mrs. P. A. Jensen, who has been seriously ill with pneumonia for the past week, was reported some better yesterday, though very weak. Her temperature which had been a little over 106 was down two degrees below normal yesterday morning. The first ballot for United States senator, taken Tuesday, gave the fol lowing results: Lewis 27. Humes 22, Wilson 25, Foster 20, Atikeny 8, Allen I. This proves nothing, however, as the first ballot seldom shows what the final result will be. The Islander is pleased to note that the Olga wharf is to be repaired and again made a s ife landing. While ihe people are about it they should put in a good slip, so that live stock can be landed and shipped from there. It would involve but little additional labor or expense. We arc pleased to note "that Mr. J. W. Court, of West Sound, has received the appointment of night watchman of the lower house of the state legisla ture. He \Vent (o Olympia the last of the week and began discharging his duties Monday last. Mr. Court is an active and ardent Republican and his appointment is a good one. Mr. John Douglas returned home Monday from Seattle, where he has been for several weeks past uuder med ical treatment. Sometime ago he had an operation performed there for some ear trouble, and has not felt it safe to return home uutil now. We hope Jack will have no further trouble from this source at least. Saturday evening Silas Casey Post, G. A. R., held an adjourned meeting, at which the following officers were elected: P. C, J. W. Smoots; S. V. C, J. E. Tucker; J. V. C, J. Crook; Adjt. and Q. M., J.

Martin; Vice Graud, Alfred Douglas; Recording Secretary, E. E. Allen; Per manent Secretary, N. E. Churchill; Treasurer, J. A. Gould. The lodge Is in a very prosperous condition and is getting along finely. Ed Gilshenan and Walter Lamparrt started over from : Waldron in Mr. Gilshenan's small sail boat at ten o'clock Tuesday morning, with the boat quite heavily laden with the car casses of a heifer and two calves.; After battling with contrary ~ winds and tide for seven hours they/ were overtaken by the revenue launch Guard off Eureka, drifting toward Roche Harbor, and were towed into port here, feeling much more comfortable - than ;" they would have been if they had been com pelled to ' "pull for the % shore" • and camp out during the rainy and windy night. ' ' / < County Treasurer f John L. Murray has fl led his official j bond in the sum of $25,000 with the board of county commissioners and the same has been approved and placed on file.

Ed. Blowers is visiting friends on Lopez. School opened Monday after a vaca tion of two weeks, Mr. Hill, of Seattle, is a guest of Mr. C. T. Butler and family. O«car Weeks and family have moved to their farm, where it is more quiet. Mr. Albert Biggs left for Tacoma, Tuesday, after a short visit with his family. C. T. Butler is improving his land near the landing by having a lot of slashing done. Mr. Culph went to Auacortes, Mon day, to consult a doctor, as he has been suffering with rhueniatism. Miss Kate Buckley came over from Bau Juan, Saturday, and will com mence school near the center of the island next Monday Mr. Albert Eastman met with a painful accident while at work in his blacksmith shop. Iv lifting a heavy box it slipped and and fell onto his left hand, breaking one of the fingers.

This includes the 200 millions of war bonds, and tho 262 millions issued during the Cleveland administration, nominally to protect tho gold reserve.

She took 1,000 barrels. Mrs. L. M. Harper came down from Seattle this week to join her husband, who has been at his old plaoe in the company's office for several weeks. By a typographical error in last week's Islander, the Prevost post office was credited with ninety-six reg istered letters in two months, instead of twenty-six. Joe Hayden, next to the youngest son of Mr. aud Mrs. Benj. Hayden, was quite seriously burned a few days ago by falling upon the kitchen stove when undressed for a bath. Mr. C. P. McAllaster, book-keeper for the Lime company for about a year in 1897-98, is still at the home of his parents in Ann Arbor, Mich., but ex pects to leave the latter part of this month for California, where the climate is better suited to his health. One of the Holden children, the oldest, fell from the second-story win dow of one of the company'a cottages Saturday, a distance of sixteen feet. The ground where she fell is soft and she seems to have sustained no injury, though naturally badly scared. The powerful tug "Wanderer" en tered here from Chemainus, B. C, last Friday when the wind was blowing a gale outside, and the captain reported that he had seldom seen it so rough. Lighthouse Keeper Christian son, of the Turn Point station, reports that the boat house and ways there were blown away, trees uprooted and the wooden walk from the keepers' house to the bignal station, though quite solidly built and strongly braced, was overturned and blown a considerable distance.

John L. Murray, County Treasurer. WALDRON ISLAND. Editor The Islander:—The new year has come, and still not a word from the outside world. We are here, on Waldron, like a lot of hermits, no mail or any communication of any kind have as yet got to the island. It is strange that the mail service to Wal dron is overlooked, one of the oldest offices in the county. The postal ser vice advances with extraordinary growth. In the last ten years we have more than doubled in population. They say that our postal business in creases much more rapidly than our population, but that is not the case on Waldron, for if we could have as regular a mail service as we have children we would be satisfied. The postal busi ness of the country now iuvolves an expenditure of $100,000,000 a year, 73, --000 postofflces and enrolls 200,000 employes. This remarkable extension of a service, which is an index of the public conditions, presents gratifying evidence of the advancement of educa tion, of the increase of communication and business activity and ot the ira umveraent of mail facilities, leading to their constantly augmenting use; but not ou Waldron island, for one can at times gut news from Chicago or New York as quick as from Friday Harbor. Just think of it, today is the Bth day aud no mail yet, and we are only about three miles from Orcas, where a daily mail is received. For days at this time of the year we can not leave :he island because we have no steamboat service, and it is not safe to cross the waters in a small boat; so in case of sickness, or an accident, one may die without any medical help at hand. Outside of this drawback, Waldron is a fine island. Here is lots of very good land, land that will grow anything and would make good homes for many a family if they only knew of the island, and could get to it. We have a good school build ing and school is now going on, with Miss Strand as teacher, With twenty one pupils in attendance, aud in a year or two more there will be fifty or more, for the increase is very rapid, owing to the nice climate and the fresh winds that are always blowing over the island. Next summer we will nave a big boom on the island, as there will be four or five fish traps put iv: and they are just what Waldrou ueeds. It will bring steamboats to the island and someone may invest in real estate, for there is lots of very good land for sale. Wishing you a happy new year, I am. Very respectfully, ' A WALDRONITE.
