A PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATE.

SPOKANE, SEPT. 30th 1894.
EDITOR ISLANDER" Friday Harbor.
DEAR SIR:-Since the departure of the
delegates to the Republican State Conven-
ton our city has assumed, after spell OF
excitement, it's usual quiet appearance.
We are now looking back with pleasure
upon the many friends we met and the
strangers we shook hands with. 1t is in
this connection that take the liberty of
addressing you with the request for infor-
nation. I met gentleman from your
town, who was very prominent in the
management of political combinations,
recognized by all, who came in contact
with him, as irresistible, both through his
personal magnetism and the strength and
weight of his arguments. He was listened
to in the caucus rooms and hotel parlors
with untiring attention. His definitions
of our political situation, remedies for
present evils and prophesies of the future
were sound plausible, giving evidence OF
deep reasoning powers and subtitle mind
Nature evidently ment him for leader
of men, for she moulded his face and
f;oure with an extra effort: Tall and
stately. bearing himself like King, a
high intellectual forehead, piercing but
" ct benevolent eyes, prominent cheek
homes. blond, waving hair and beard like
Herman, Prince of the Cherusks, square
ont law and a sensual, decisive mouth.
Tn short an Apollo in nature and "McAl-
lister, in dress. Our ladies are pardonable
in having fallen in love with him, when
he stepped from the platform of the dele
ration train. His name escaped me, but
7 trust from the above description 1t Will
not he hard for you to find the right man.
7 wish to be frank with you, Mr.. Editor!
In writing this letter am not prompted
nv a sense of inquisitiveness, far from it!
please keep the following confidential:
We are looking for presidential candi-
dates for the elections two years hence and
gathering our material for this purpose.
who knows, but what Friday Harbor
merchant may next occupy the White
House?
Kindly comply with my request and
furnish me with the life and history OF
vour townsman in question and If feasible
with photograph.
your immediate reply will greatly
ob,;oe. Yours Truly
PATRICK MALoNEy,
| ssec'y M. U. r. s.

RUY HOME GROWN FRUIT TREES.

The time for fall planting of fruit trees
is drawing close at hand, and, doubtless
a great many people, at the present
time, are considering where to but their
trees, and what kind to buy. At the
present time we think that good varie-
ties of winter apple trees are the best
kind of fruit to plant. There is no part
of the United States where good winter
apples do not bring reasonably good
returns. We would advise that you
buy of some local nurseryman, and
thereby avoid introducing any new
pest or disease into your orchard We
would recommend that our readers in
spect the nursery of c. I'll. Van SAINT d
Co., near East Sound, and get their
prices before buying elsewhere.

burned to the ground last Saturday
night. This building was one of the
landmarks at the historic
place called English Camp. 1t was a
large and commodious dwelling house,
of the English farmhouse style, and
was built by the English officers during
their occupancy of the North End" of
the island, upwards of twenty years
ago. The house had been vacant for q
number of years and was going to ruin,
until last spring when Mr.. Rogers, of
New York, purchased the place and
rebuilt and fitted it up for summer
residence, and he, and his family, were
living III it at the time of the fire, but
we understand saved nearly all of their
household belongings. The origin of
