The Ofhcial Paper of San Juan County.
A.J.PAXSON, Editor and Prop.
THURSDAY, MARCH 2Sth, 1925.

The vote of our own Senator Harper was
recorded against the Morgan railroad rate
reduction bill. If the bill was objection
able, except from railroad standpoint,
we do not know it, and are therefore sur
brised at Mr.. Harper's vote. Mount Yer
non Herald.
The Herald may be surprised, but to
no greater extent than the public has
reason to be disguised with the course Of
the Herald with regard to Mr.. Harper:
The editor of the Herald and Mr.. Harper
were the only candidates before the joint
senatorial convention. Mr.. Harper's sue
cess was very pronounced. Since the con-
ventiOn the Herald has shown the vim
dictiveness of its EDITORS nature by the
occasional penning of some paragraph in
tended, like the above, to injure Mr.. Har
per. The Herald editor should have ac
cepted defeat more gracefully and thus
shown the republicans of Skagit county
that he possessed qualities which would
entitle him to recognition at some future
election. But to return to the railroad bill,
if the Herald's editor will read the meas
he will see ample reason why an honest
man not sparring for political points and
populist support, could conscientiously
east his vote against it.-Ana. American.
The ISLANDER was also surprised
to learn that Mr.. Harper voted
against the bill which proposed to
reduce railroad freight rates. We
do not question Mr.. Harper's in
tegrity and believe that if he erred
In casting his vote on this particu-
lar question he did not do it with
the intention Of betraying his trust.
Then some portions Of the bill may
have been Objectionable, and would
have done an injustice to the rail-
roads. However, it seems to be a
very plain fact that senators can
always see when a corporation is
in danger of being wronged, by I'M
just legislation, much more readily
than they can see that farmers, in
one part of the country are fast be-
coming destitute for the want of
just legislation. 1t is a singular
fact that Mr.. Murray voted for the
bill, while Mr.. Harper voted against
it. Every Populist voted for the
bill.

STORY FROM DREAMLAND.
But There May be Some Foundation for
it After All.

Victoria Special to S. F. Examiner.
Within one year the shrill whistle of
locomotives all the way from the east
will be heard in Victoria, and this city
will be one of the terminals of the Great
Northern railway.
Two weeks ago several magnates of
the Great Northern were on Puget
sound on q visit of inspection. At the
same time F. c. Davidge, of Victoria,
went to Seattle and was in consultation
with the railway men. His mission was
Ostensibly to get the Great Northern to
come to Victoria, and he was not only
well but cordially received. His argu-
ments were listened to, notes were
taken and questions asked which
showed like interest on behalf of the
Great Northern people.
The proposition is to connect the
mainland of Washington with the is
land of Vancouver by ferry built to
carry across the cars, to make landing
short way outside of Victoria and run
into the city. Though the scheme is
an assured thing, there is diversity of
opinion as to the route to be taken.
One idea is to run the proposed ferry
from Fairhaven, to Gordon Head,
passing south of Lummi island and
north of Cypress and Blakely islands,
between Shaw and Orcas islands and
north of San Juan. This route is a long
one and that is the objection against it.
The other route would be from Ana
cortes, to run between Decatur and
Blakely islands to Victoria. There is
still another route, and that is to give
the islands wide berth and to enter
the Straits of San Juan de Fuca by way
of Rosario straits. That route would
be in the ''open" entirely, and shorter
than the other two, but the passage for
a ferry more rough and dangerous.
Which of these routes will be adopted
Is not yet known, but the feasibility of
the ferry has been proved beyond dis
pute. 1t is not proposed to ferry over
the locomotives, but to have engines
ready on either side to couple on. A
ferry that would suit requirements,
being seaworthy, able to carry large
tonnage and at the same time make
good speed, would cost in the neighbor-
hood of $500, 900 or s25O,O0O. The project
ors put the cost of the laying of the track
between $780, and 100000 per mile,
and but few miles will be required.
On what terms the Great Northern
guarantees connection it is not known.

Friday Harbor may soon produce a

We would advise the editor of
the above sheet to look over his en-

more such breaks. The ISLANDER
would be satisfied if Friday Harbor

even Patti.

WE should not be too ready to
censure the governor for vetoing
the deficiency Judgment bill. If
the bill was unconstitutional we
should not harangue McGraw for
vetoing it. If the bill had been
constructed so as to effect future
contracts only, it would doubtless
have become a law.

The Westminster Gazette (Liberal)
lays that it is generally expected the
cabinet will decide to resign.
Lord Rosebery dimes with the queen
ct Windsor, i'll accordance with pre-.
vious invitation, and he will thus be
able, according to the Westminster
Gazette, to tender his resignation.
The Westminster Gazette adds:
"The Irish members are strongly op-
posed to dissolution. They declared
that If the government resigns, we
have been betrayed. We must have a
land bill. 1t would be blunder and a
crime to detrad US of it. The govern
ment, however, is receiving many COM
munications from its leading support
ers throughout the country urging
them not to sacrifice Legislative work
or resign owing to scratch reverse. y
The ST. James Gazette says: The
fate of the ministry is bound up in the
decision Of MIR. Cambell- Zimmerman,
and strenuous efforts are being made to
induce him to reconsider his decision.
A very strong whip will be issued by
the mlnisterialists on Monday, and all
the Irish members have been sum,
moned back
When the cabinet adjourned for lunch
| no decision had been reached in regard
to its resignation.

Kett1rment Of tho Duke Of Cambridge u
Welcome News.
LONDON, June 24.-The announce
ment that the Duke OF Cambridge has
finally decided to retire from the post
Of commander-in.chief of the British
army will be welcome news to very
many Britons. Certain English news
papers and some sections Of the politi.
cal parties of Great Britain have been
strongly urging his retirement for
years past. In making the announce
ment in the house Of commons Mr..
Campbell Bannerman eulogized the
services Of the Duke Of Cambridge and
said he has seen it written that the
duke was an impediment in the way Of
ARMY reform. Twenty-Five years ago,
the speaker continued, the duke had
not favored fundamental changes in
the army, but when they were intro
duced he frankly accepted them and
was ever ready to acknowledge the
benefits derived from them. Mr.. Bal
four joined in Mr.. Bannerman's praise
of the Duke Of Cambridge, but he init.
mated that he did not entirely approve
Of the projected changes.

LONDON, June "a. The true story of
the determination" of the Duke of
Cambridge to resign his post Of COM
mander in chief of the British army
announced in the house of commons
by the secretary Of state for war, Mr..
Campbell Zimmerman, throws new
light upon the subject There has long
been strong agitation against the
duke, aud the government, it appears,
acting on the principle of expediency,
caused it to be known that it
would materially assist the govern
ment if the Duke of Cambridge
would offer to resign. Consequently
the duke, not suspecting that his Offer
would Be accepted, sent in his papers &c
the queen and the latter handed them
to the government under the impres.
sion that they would be retgyned. The
government, however, accepted the pa
pers as definite resignation, and Mr..
Campbell -Bannerman made the an.
nouncement to the house, which was
the last thing expected Or desired
either by the queen or the Duke Of
Cambridge. 4

NANTAsKET, Mass, June 24.-The
second trial Of electricity as motive
power on the Nantasket Beach division
Of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad took place with as
much secresy as characterized the first
tests. The result ensures the success
Of the experiment.. The trial was with
an electric locomotive specially geared
for speed, and the small party of Off
cials who were aboard during the trip
state that for three miles
on the straight away track be-
tween here and Hull the locomotive
travelled at all average speed of
80 miles an hour. They claim that a
greater speed could have been attained
had it not been for a hot box. Another
electric locomotive was attached to q
train OF three passenger coaches and a
heavy steam locomotive, the whole
over l75 tons, and easily moved them
at rate Of speed equal to that of q
steam locomotive. The starting and
stopping was especially prompt. The
consolidated officials are greatly pleased
with the tests
