Our friends resillng on the
Islands haze Il standing complaint
Of inadequate, or inefficient service
by steamer. Even the ENTERPRISE
we learn has been blamod for falling
TO chastise the delinquent steam~
boatman. The Island people are
utterly isolated, and locked up in
their solution without a good steam
Loat service. They have tried 10
get along with route so circuitous
as not TO admit of tirst-class SER
vice. They have tried to do bus>
mess with Victoria and Westmin>
lister, without touching at the An
crican main land. With the assists
ance of Postal Agent Fouts they
have succeeded in getting increased
facilities for reaching the town Of
Whatcom. BY the same act it is
made impossible FOR the contractor
TO connect our thriving and efficient
mainland lines and traffic with Vie
toria. 1t looks like an inextricable
middle on the part possibly OF the
Islanders themselves.
