them.
Inc outlook for the payment of the
amount due on the sale of the New
Whatcom water bonds is not half as
brilliant as 1t might have been had the
city council exacted certified
check for liberal amount from the
purchaser Of the bonds, which they did
not. The bonds are beyond question,
but 1t seems as if the purchasers are not.
In the present stringency of the money
market may be found the milk in the
cocoanut, that is TO say the tardiness Of
Messrs. Seymour, BartO q Co. in full
hlling their promises. Mayor Slade
has been indefatigable in his exertions
10 brlng the buyers to time, but il APP
pears That it II time they want them
serves. From present appearances an
other month will elapse before It is
forthcoming.
Everybody down Sound knows Cap
tain ). G. Mckay, of Fairhaven, says
the Victoria Colonist. At every regatta
for the last two years he has handled
the tiller Of the winning yacht, and
upon every occasion he is the same
blum, hearty aud rOllicking yachtsman,
who creates n laugh 10y spinning his
odd yarns. But Captain Mckay wanted
mascot for the International race.
lie got one. While in camp on San
Juan island he ran across bear cub,
which he managed TO capture after re-
reiving several scratches. He brought
his bearship upon the yacht Wanda and
had bruin chained. While sailing i'm
the local and international regattas the
bear stood the motion of the boat well
at first and seemed to enjoy the sport,
but when the tide rips were struck of
Albert Head buoy change passed over
the little passengers phiz. The bear
actually got seasick and took to lemons
as readily as one Of the human family.
The captain takes the bear home with
him and says he will never enter
sailing race hereafter without having
Jack located on the poop deck.
1t is solemnly averred that President
Van Horne and party will arrive in
New Whatcom tomorrow. The Seattle
Telegraph had him due in Seattle
nearly week ago, and the HERALD
and Reveille thought to bring him in
yesterday. Now ii is Monday at fur
thest.

J. NJ. Hit, county superintendent Of
schools, returned yesterday from
visit to the schools at Blaine, Custer
and Lynden, all of which he found In
good condition. Blaine and Lynden
schools will have their first graduating
classes this year, the former on June
and the latter on June ?. Mr.. Hit
reports the county as looking prosper

Of the finest in the county. This week

Everson and Rome.
Mcssrs. Kuner, Anderson and Merrill
arrived on the yacht j. j. Hill Friday
evening from Victoria after some
what eventlul run across the straits and
among the islands. Max thought, be-
fore he started from here, that he had
the run Of the tides down fine and
could, If necessary, make trip 10 Vic
toria without sails or oars, depending
entirely upon the currents due TO the
changing tides to float him across, but
he bas changed his mind, and now
THINKS that the ways of the tides i'm
| Puget sound are peculiar. At points
where the almanac said the tide should
be flooding, It was found 10 be ebbing
and vice versa. He has now vast
store Of technical knowledge relating
to currents and tides which could not
be secured from any other source than
actual experience. English camp was
visited by the party on their return
and camp made ON Shaw's island,
where they passed one night at the
house Of Ii. J. Creswell.

| Its place Of publication Is Fairhaven-
New Whatcom, and its publishers the
"Oyster Publishing Co., Ntd,p Like
its namesake, the Sound Oyster Is
toothsome and succulent, aud Is served
in fry, stew and roast styles, the pan
roast being probably the most suited TO
the epicurean's palate. There is moth
ing raw about ii, not even the saluta-
tory, and this Is accounted for when IL
is known that the Oyster is the work Of
the Bellingham Bay typothete, the
