Tuesday was the 37th anniversary of
President Lincoln's famous proclama-
ton of emancipation, freeing all slaves
i'm the United States. Mason and Dix
sons line, famous as the boundary be.
tween the free and slave states, was
nearly century old when the emanci-
patton proclamation was issued. 1t
was named for the surveyors who pro-
jected it and forms the southern boun-
Diary of Pennsylvania, separating it
from Delaware, Maryland and West
Virginia. The work began in NOvem-
Der, 1853, and was stopped by the In
dians i'm the summer of 1867, at point
PA miles west of the Delaware and
only thirty-six miles east of the term
mus the surveyors were seeking. The
remaining work was done by Colonel
Alexander Mclean i'm l7S4.

The ISLANDER is in receipt of COM
munication in which a well-known
citizen of Lopez island is represented
as favoring the abolition of the mail
route upon which the steamer Buck
eye Is operated and the substitution i'm
its stead of another steamer on the Sc
attic route, alternating with the Lydia
Thompson and thus affording direct
daily communication with Seattle. In
reply to a question as to what would be
done with the postofiices on the Buck.
eyes route, he is quoted IA saying that
the boat or boats on the other route
"could take in the larger Offices aud the
smaller ones could get their mail by
special carrier" 1t is hoped that such
o project, if seriously contemplated,
will find no favor with the postal au-
thorities, for if such plan were carried
out it would be very great injustice
to the people residing on the smaller
islands and in isolated portions of the
county. They are not only as much
entitled to good mail facilities as are
the people who reside within easy
reach Of the larger offices, but steam.
boat connection ~ith mainland points
is just as important to them. 1t is. in
fact, absolutely essential to the devotion
ment OF the remote and thlnly sattl d
localities, as it has been to the upbuiid
ing Of the more populous communities.
The government is paying consider.
ably less for the mail service wbic., il
IS now giving the people of this county
than 1t paid for greatly inferior service
years ago. Instead of abolishing any
route or disseminating any Office it
ought to extend routes already estab-
iished and provide the people Of Wal
dron and Stuart islands with steam
boat service. And it is 10 be hoped
that mail contracts will always he let
in manner which will insure compe
ution in our local carrying trade, rather
fnan q monopoly Of it by any one COM
lany.

VIM. Graham retires from the board
of county commissioners this month
after six years continuous service with
a record for honesty and faithfulness in
the discharge of his duty which enti-
ties him to the cordial respect and good
will of his fellow citizens. He has
given to the county's business the same
painstaking care that he gives to his
own affairs. He has always favored
all the economy in expenditures that
he believed to Ee consistent with good
service, and has been frank and fair i'm
his relations with the various county
officers and with the public. His terms
of service as commissioner cover the
funding of the bulk of the county debt
by the issuance Of six per cent bonds
for the redemption of warrants upon
which the interest rate was ten per
cent, and the subsequent redemption
of the entire balance of the floating
debt, thus placing the county upon a
cash basis. And this is not all, for the
present board of commissioners has not
only provided for all county current
expenses and state demands with
lower tax levy and more equitable as
sessment than ever before i'm the coun-
tvs history, but has reduced the
bonded debt more than one-fourth by
paying a number OF bonds more than
five years in advance of their optional
maturity, and there is a substantial
cash balance in the treasury now avail
able for still further reduction. The
record of the present board is a record
TO which all the members can pardon
ably point with pride.
