MI. Nelson has been in the bulb business

State Horticulturist Barker, when
he visited the Gibbs-Shorey bulb gar
dens, on Orcas, recently, declared HIM
self as greatly surprised at their inn
mensity. An ISLANDER reporter was
escorted over the gardens by Mr.. Gibbs,
some time ago, and the great work
done by the bulb growers was notice
able on all sides, making the place
beautiful one. A fortune is in store for
these gentlemen some day, and they
well deserve it, for their persistent
labor in making blub-grOwing success
on Orcas.
The steamer "Allce Gertrude" of
Seattle, came down to East Sound last
Saturday with an excursion givin by
the St. Marks Episcopal church of
that city. There were $50 in the merry
party. On account of the long run
from Seattle their arrival there was so
late that it only allowed a stop of about
fifteen minutes, entirely too short
time for the excursionists to enjoy the
beauties of that thriving little berg.
We hope, however, that they saw
enough to make them anxious to re-
turn for few days visit in the near
future.
immigration Inspector Walker, of
the Puget Sound district, and Deputy
Collector Culver, of Roche Barbor,
were here Saturday with nine japanese
for illegally entering United
States territory. Major Walker de-
sired to have the Japs taken to What
com by the revenue launch, which
happened to be here at the time, but
the officer commanding the launch
curtly refused to perform that service
for the government, and although the
launch went to Port Townsend that
day, the government paid the fare of
the Japs to the same place OH the mail
steamer.
d. Mcintyre writes to THE ISLANDER
to say that the statement in its Roche
Harbor correspondence last week that
Ed Carlson had charge of the driving
of the Schultz & Gross fish traps was
incorrect. He desires it understood
that credit for the work should be
given to David ]. Mcintyre and Fred
Lightheart. "Roche" insists that Ed
had charge of the pile driver that did
the WORK and he reasoned from that
fact that Ed also had charge of the
driving. 1t is we'll, of course, that
there should be no misunderstanding
about matter of SO much importance,
and hence this correction.
