RURAL DELIVERY

To the EDITOR: A gentleman residing
near Richardson and noted for advocat-
ing what he calls progressive ideas, is
often heard of latelauding the rural de-
livery of the mails. He thinks the resi-
dents of Lopez island, if not those Of the
whole county, should petition for the
adoption of the system. He would favor
all the mail for Lopez island being han,
died at Richardson, or may be at one
more point, Port Stanley. From those
two landings carriers would deliver and
take up all mail throughout the island
Such carriers would be travelling post
offices. 1t would matter not if out
of-the-way residents were kept waiting
for their mail or compelled to 60 about as
far as now to get it at neighbOrs; neither
would it signify much If the carriers
mail wagon broke down i'm his haste to
get over our primitive roads; nor would
it matter much to the advocate of his pet
scheme If the cost OF rural delivery on
Lopez would be several times more to the
government than it is now.
Our advocate of this progressive sys-
tenn being an old timer, tor years got his
mail at Hutchinson's store, Lopez, where
he and others did most of their trading.
If rural delivery had been in vogue in
those days, suppose it had been adopted
on Lopez island; then today it is more
than probable we would have no such
thriving business centers as Richardson,
Stanley and Otis. Under the patronage
of our government i'm requiring the mail
steamer to call at the postOtfices located at
those places, both merchants and settlers
have been greatly benefited by regular
steamer connection with the leading bust
ness cities of the coast. No one point On
any of our islands can now set up mo-
nopoly of business against other business
places where postoffire is To-
Gated. The people have a choice of sew
eral places at which to do their trading,
ship their produce, or get aboard mail
steamer to visit other localities. The
same is true of persons coming to our
islands. Each landing has its share; no
one section can mOnOpOlize the influx of
new settlers and the sale of property to
the detriment of other sections equally as
good.
Then, while rural delivery may be a
good thing for old, thickly settled inland
parts of our vast country, where the roads
are good and dwellings conveniently
located, for San Juan county or any part
of it, only evil would result by its adop-
ton: Let us stick to our pOstOffices sup
piled by the beneficence of the general
government through regular mail steam
ers. For new county like ours, the
postofiice is a social blessing as well as a
necessity. There its patrons can meet on
equal footing. There, too, the merchant
in the transaction of trade or the me-
chanic at his calling may be benefited by
the necessary assembling of the people in
connection with their mail. X.

President Ludwig Nissen of the Man.
ufacturers' association of New York, at
the annual banquet of the association,
touched tender spot when he laid the
blame for "the abominable character of
the government of our large munich.
palities" OIL "the business men who are
so blind to the affairs of the community
that they stick to their own little
affairs like leeches while they allow
the scum of society to attend for them
to the affairs of government" This is
true of other cities than those of the
state for which he spoke. The business
men find that their business affairs re-
quire constant attention and hard work
if they are to succeed, but they have a
fatuous notion that the affairs of the
city, which are, in a larger sense, their
business affairs also, can be trusted to
take care of themselves.

SHINING THE WRONG COON

From letter received from all Olga
citizen few days ago-the same one
who reported some Objectionable &C
lions OF certain "hoodlums' to the
county attorney-it would appear that
while we did not exactly skin the
wrong COON in our observations con-
corning the matter in last weeks
ISLANDER, we located the aforesaid
coon i'm the wrong place. The letter
received by the county attorney did not
appear to leave any room for such a
misundersta ding, as it was from an
Olga citizen and was written and
mailed there and stated that 1.-THE min
lister HERE lives in house close to a
bachelors den, where crowd of boys,
and some of them young men, gather
and make the night hideous with their
noise" etc. The letter of correction,
however, states that 1.-THE trouble is at
the civilized village of East Sound and
the people there have been putting up
with this thing for three or four years. y
Olga may therefore be considered as
having proved All alibi, so to speak, in
this case, and it Is "up to" the enlight-
ened community of East Sound to
show cause why sentence should not be
passed upon it. And the probability is
that such cause can readily be shown,
il the spirited letter from East Sound
signed by "Hoodlum" and published
in this paper is an index of public senti.
meat and conditions there respecting
the attitude of the people toward the
gentleman represented from Olga to
have been so grievously abused. While
the whole matter may not exactly be a
"much ado about nothing" it does look
rs though someone had, perhaps under
O Misunderstanding of The facts, been
led 20 ''make mountain out Of a mole
hill" and even locate the mole hill i'm
the wrong place. The East Sound
communication, which We publish TO.
day, is accompanied by gentlemanly
letter signed by ten young men well
known there and authorizing the pub.
lication of their names, if desired. But
the editor considers it unnecessary to
do that and he trusts that they and all
of the citizens of East Sound and Olga
will deem the ISLANDERS explanation
of its connection with the incident
quite sufficient and satisfactory.
