A good deal of complaint has reached
THE ISLANDER office of late about the
unsatisfactory steamer service upon the
Buckeyes route. Numerous passengers
have been seriously inconvenienced,
having on different days waited for
hours for the boat which failed to put
in an appearance. There were four or
| five one cay at one place, all but one of
whom afterwards walked several miles
| to get aboard the Lydia Thompson. 1t
is probable that Mr.. Newhall regrets
this disregard of the convenience of
| patrons as much as anyone and it ia to
be hoped that there will be less reason
| for complaint under the boats new
management.
Mr.. Frank Dennison, of Smiths
island, and Miss Fannie Lawson, of

The steamer Geo. E. Starr made her
initial run on the Utopia's old route,
viz: Tacoma and Seattle to Vancouver
via. the San Juan islands, last Monday.
She left Seattle at midnight Sunday
night and arrived here early Monday
morning. She had aboard about 100
Cinnamon, forty-five of them tor the
Island Packing Co., of this place: and
fifty-five enroute to the Alaska Pack
ing Associations canneries at Point
Roberts. The tin which has been eX
pected for several days past arrived on
the Thompson yesterday and the
Cinnamon Kill at once begin the work
of making the cans to be used for the
seasons pack. The tin, which comes
from Liverpool, England, by sailing
vessel around the Horn, arrived at
Astoria several days ago and came
from there by rail to Seattle and here
by steamer Thompson. The Starr will
make one round trip week calling
here both ways, and will likely run
all summer. The Utopia has been put
on the Seattle-Alaska route, ands tarted
on her first trip a few days ago.
Word was received from Lopez Mon
day morning that Mr.. James Clark, a
young man of 26 years, had become
insane and asked that he be sent for
by the county authorities and properly |
cared for. Sheriff Newton Jones and |
Mr.. G. 4. Kent went after him in a
small boat Monday afternoon and re-
turned here Tuesday morning. He |
was tried Tuesday forenoon on the
Charge of insanity, before Court Com |
missioner J. E. Tucker, and after the |
hearing of witnesses and an examina-
ton of the patient by Drs. Harrison
and Wright he was adjudged insane
as charged, and committed to the |
asylum at Steilacoom. He was tak9n |
there Tuesday, via. Seattle, on the
Lydia Thompson, by Sheriff Jones and |
Deputy Jeff. Bradshaw. The case is
certainly sad one as Mr.. Clark is a
very young man, only rs years OF age, |
and only a few years ago was bright !
lad, good scholar and q hard worker. |
1t is to be hoped that his case is not an |
incurable one and that his recovery |
may be speedy that he may soon
return in perfect health, to his home.
