The Salem Cadet Band Coming.

The closing entertainment in the Star
lecture course has been changed by the
committee from the Fadette Woman's
Orchestra to the Salem Cadet Band.
The change was owing to some misun-
Outstanding with the management of the
orchestra. The orchestra was engaged
with an understanding with regard to
expenses which was based on the suppo.
sltion that the organization would be on
tour of this section Of New England.
AS it afterwards transpired this engage.
ment was the only one in this vicinity
and the added expense of the special trip,
coupled with the report that the Fa-
dette's had lost number of players re-
Gently, that detracted from the merit of
the work of the orchestra, led the com.
mittee to cancel the engagement. The
Salem Cadet Band was booked at price
considerably higher than that of the other
organization. 1t is in fact one of the |
highest priced features ever introduced |
INTO the course. The high standing of
the band and its conductor, Jean Missud,
is too well known to need extended
praise or comment. The band gave a
here few years ago that is still
spoken OF as one of the most finished mu-
seal exhibitions ever given in St. Johns
bury. Mr.. Missud and his artists will
De given hearty welcome. The date of
he concert is March %.

Dear Sir: James Ackley's house in

MEMORIAL DAY

Again it is Memorial day. From the
Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Gulf
of Georgia to the Gulf of Mexico flow
ers are being strewn by grateful peo-
pie upon the graves of tens Of thousands
of soldiers who were participants in the
mightiest civil strife Of modern times.
Wherever the stars and stripes now
float as the emblem of national unity
and strength, efforts should he made
today, with malice toward none and
charity for ALL" to impress upon the
minds of the youth of the nation the
full significance of the gigantic struggle
of forty years ago, which Memorial

joice that we have with us yet tens of
thousands of veterans of that mighty
war, even though their forms are bent,
their eyes grown dim and their hairs
whitened by the frosts Of many win

graves of their comrades who
Morn of toll, nor night of waking"
we can pay to them no greater tribute

due. Thankful for the bond of unity
which now exists between the North
and the South, let US not forget the
brave men who wore the gray and who
fought against our "boys in tlue,"
strong in the belief that their cause
was just. Let us hope that
"No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red
They Danish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of our dead
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment day

Referring to the communication from
Lopez in today's paper Oh the subject
of rural free mail delivery, the ISL
AMBER desires to say that 1t has no
knowledge of any movement on foot"
to secure such delivery on this island.
If there were such . movement the
ISLANDER would do all in its power to
advance it. 1t Is only on this island,
however, that free delivery route in
this county would be practicable under
the rules established by the postofiice
department and which the ISLANDER
published two weeks ago, at which
time our views as 10 it's practfcability
on other islands were expressed as
follows:
On San Juan island there are only three
postoffices, or one to 425 people, while
Orcas has seven, or one to 1l9 people, and
Lopez four, making the proportion there
one to 1873. 1t hardly admits Of question
that Orcas and Lopez are both far better
served now than they would be by the
establishment of free delivery route on
each island, even il it were practicable
under the rules of the department, if such
service were obtained at the cost of the
abolition of steamboat mail service at the
more remote and unimportant points.
The settlement and development Of the
county depends much upon the efficient
steamboat service, and the extension of
such service to localities that are now
without is of much more importance than
the establishment of rural delivery in
sections already we'll served.

RURAL DELIVERY

To the EDITOR
From the editorial remarks IN the
islander of May l6 We infer that a
movement is OIL foot to secure the free
delivery Of mails on the island Of San
Juan, if not on the other islands of this
group. That any large number of our
citizens should favor such q movement is
surprising. Rural delivery for old,
thickly settled inland sections where the
roads are good must be benefit, but for
the San Juan islands, or any one of them,
the system would be little short of injuri-
Gus. The rapid development of these
islands largely depends upon the service
of the mail steamers calling at the nu-
merous harbors where are postoflices.
Here the people get their mail and use
steamers for travel, shipping their pro-
ducts or receiving such articles from
other places rs they may need. Here one
or more stores are usually loo ated, ard
the merchant by the regular call of mail
steamers can the BITTER carry on his trade
and the better serve the people of his
neighborhood. Here, too, the stated call
ing of mail steamers gives prominence to
the locality and invites settlement, there
by increasing the value of property.
Should rural delivery be established, one
or two landings on any of our islands
would be all that would be used to the
detrim ent of other landings. In short, it
would be establishing monopoly Of the
favored landings and persons doing busi-
ness there. Enterprise at other landings
and vicinity would be embarrassed or
killed outright. This condition of things
would build up few localities and pull
down others. Who would DO the chief
loser? The farmer, the producer. 1t is
to his interest-to have as many steamer
landings, trading centers and postoffices
as possible. The shorter the distance he
has to 60 to reach market the better.
When the mail is landed on the island he
doesn't want to wait till carrier having
packed his urgent letter all over the set
Element finally reaches his place with it.
He wants to 60 to the Office where he does
his trading any there get his mail just as
soon as any other man. If this DO tusi-
ness letter requiring an immediate
answer, he writes and mails this answer
at once. Through the papers he hears
the news as soon as another. No one has
an advantage over him. If he doesn't
choose to go or send for his mail daily, he
can go when he pleases. 1t does him and
his children good to 60 to town. The
time is not thrown away. His farm work
is seldom so urgent that some member Of
his family cannot go to the store and
postoffice. With him ''all work and no
play makes Jack dull boy" On the
way to the postoffice and while there he
meets his neighbors and interchanges
views on current events. This contact
with others is what many Of our settlers
need. 1t brightens their lives and saves
some from brooding alone in their bach
elor homes. 1t is the opinion Of the
