"rHE ISLAND TRADE"

A recent issue of the Fairhaven Her
aid contained the following commune
cation upon subject which is of inter
est IL this county and has many times
been brought to the attention of the
people of the Hel!ingham Bay cities
during the past ten years:
Whatcom, Jan. q, 19O2-NIr. Editor:
We see in the editorials of your last
week: paper, January IL, the advice to
the bay cities to open up trolly line to
Lyndon, thinking it would be great
help to the business of yOur thriving
cities. At the same time you could have
asked what is doing to hold the island
trade which rightly belongs to the bay
cities. Everything to speak of is going
to Seattle. The business men of What
com and Fairhaven seem to have 10 idoa
what inimese shipments of fruit. grain,
Cattle and sheep, poultry and other pro-
ducts are made to Seattle markets and
why there is no inducement to ship the
other way. This proposition has been
plainly stated to the merchants. but they
Seem to let the opportunity rs well as
many others sleep until Seattle gets the
start and then it will be hard work to re-
gain the island trade. Give us a boat, a
day boat, round trip boat. II might be
uphill business for a year, but i'm the end
would pay largely for their trouble This
Is NO foolish advice, but reasonable and
business like. The San Juan county
salmon banks provide the fish; why can't
we talk to the fish commissioner? The
Island Lime Company and also the Eagle
intend to start up next month.
The Herald's correspondent is quite
right in saying that "this proposition
has been plainly stated" before. 1t has
become an old story in the oft repeated
telling of a dozen years, and yet the
lesson that the newspapers, in their
tireless efforts to stimulate settlement
and development and promote trade,
have sought to teach remains unheed-
ell except by u small number of wide
awake observation-disclosures more than half
q dozen-who have made individual
Efforts to cultivate close business rela-
lions with the people of this county
and have in fact had lucrative trade
from the islands for q number of vears
largely in lines not carried extensively
by our local merchants.

lower and still greater advantage in
passenger rates.

The ISLANDER has frequently point
ed out that the question of the island
trade" which keeps rising like Ban
buo's ghost to haunt the merchants of
the bay cities, is not one of iralisi'orta-
ton bet of Il market for the ''IliInpnse
shipments OF fruit, grain, cattl. ard
sheep, poultry and other products"
which the Herali's correspondent re-
fer~ to as being made from this county,
and of n wholesale supply poin, for San
Juan merchants. Ii there is to be any
great trade expansion between this
county and the bay towns there will
have to be a marked development of
the reciprocity idea, and this is hardly
likely to be witnessed so long ~ II e
buy merchants are themselves num-
bered among the most highly priced
customers of Seattle wholesale houses.
A considerable share of the patronage
of Whatcom's leading hotel comes
from the "drummers" who are hust-
ling trade for the jnbbers of Seattle,
Portland and San Francisco
There are few merchants in What
com who are regular advertisers In the
ISLANDER and have been for years. Ii
would be an altogether unmeri,ed com
ment upon their business sagacity to
intimate that they advertise over here
Just to "help the paper" They don't
care a picayune for the paper except IN
80 far as it serves their interests by af-
fordng the best means of conmunica-
ton with the people Of the county who
are buyers Of what they have to sell.
If they Were not convinced that adver-
Using in the ISLANDER pays, it is
wholly improbable that they would
continue il. They are the leading bust
ness men of Whatcom in their respec-
tive lines, are liberal patrons of the
local papers and prominent in every
meritorious project that promises to
advance the Interests of the city. The
greater part of the trade that they get
from this county comes from Oreas
island. Orcas has q general merchan-
disc store for every 200 inhabitants,
but not one of the merchants is al ad-
vertiser.
A stranger, seeking to get some
knowledge Of the county from the
ISLANDER, would not know that there
is store of any kind upon Orcas or
Lopez, although these islands have
nearly half of the county's total popu-
latiOn. Here on San Juan 1t is differ
ent. The merchants OF Friday Harbor
nearly all advertise, though not "a ex-
tensively or as carefully as they might
we'll do with profit, and they get near
ly all of the peoples trade. And thew
deserve it, for they sell their goods
upon reasonable margins Of profit; they
are the chief buyers of the farmers
products and are continually affording
their customers accommodations that
they can get nowhere else. The prices
of nearly everything required to sup
ply the ordinary needs of family are
higher in Seattle than they are here,
and for such goods, wares and mer-
chandise as trade conditions do not
justify local merchants in carrying,
Whatcom is a cheaper market than
Seattle, where rents are little short of
extortionate and the percentage cost OF
doing business IS probably greater than
III any other city in the west.

"Thc play was melodrama of the
regular sort, only little more harrow
ing than usual The villain was par
ticularly yillalnous and the good hero
ine unusually unfortunate. No one
hissed at the bad mans badness more
than my friend the cutthroat. He
howled with rage, and then he fairly
blubbered over the woes OF the good
people In the play When virtue finally
conquered and villainy was dragged off
the stage In handouts, he roared ap.
plause, stamping his feet like pile
driver, and was generally delighted.

The nanny had grown rich, and with
her increased position came the belief
that she was losing money, running
accounts which never would be paid
by those who had virtually created the
place.
The new Bohemia was located in
Bleecker street. The proprietor had
an italian name, and they drank log
wood Chlantl ut 10 cents pint and
tried to like 1t. At the Ostrich the
cooking at least was clean. Here moth
ing was. The hot summer days had
come Luigi was fighting the ice trust
Mt the expense of his patrons, who ae-
counted themselves fortunate if half
the dinner was eatable.
Mabel wanted to change, but the bo-
hemians had not yet moved ON. Thurs
ton noted the fuct with satisfaction
and encouraged Luigi TO perseyere,
even going to the extent of writing up
the place while he paid his bill.
One August evening the revolt came.
The soup was thinner than Croton wa
ter The fish fairly appealed to the
board of health for Investigation. The
entree was worse, the roast but little
better, while the inevitable ice cream

flavor. Nfabel's best story had come
back that afternoon. She was sick and

morning. In place OF coffee and rolls
we will have real breakfast. We

tionality of our stomachs every time

Jack Thurston gazed euriously across
the little table at the young woman
that Carl the presiding genius of the
Skye Terrier, with muttered apology,
had seated opposite him. Time was
when the Skye Terrier could afford n
table to every guest. Now 1t was dlfi-
cult to get even n seat.
1t was the first time that Thurston
had ever seen really pretty woman at
the Terrier. 1t was novelty. His
soup grew cold as he watched and ad-
mired. She was clearly timid, but bore
herself so well that even with the IL
eenso afforded by the supposed bo-
hemian tendencies of the place she was
well on toward the quarter section of
Ice cream and he had lit his third
cigarette before he spoke.
She regarded him with absolute ter
ror for moment when he made some
trivial remark, dipping the ashes from
his cigarette as he did so to cover his
own confusion. but Thurston had n
face TO inspire confidence, and falling
into the spirit of the thing eommu-
nifty of interest soon rlpencd the ac-
qualntance.

A RESTORATION BEAU.
Daily Programme of n Dandy In
England During Charles Time.

Ohtty programme OF DHnuy In
England During Charles Time.
The history of an ordinary day of a
restoration beau was something like
this: From about 10 till l. he received
visitors In his sleeping chamber. where
he lay In state, with his perlwlg, thick
ly powdered, lying beside him on the
coyerlet. Near ut hand, on his dress
Ing table, the curious visitor might
have noticed some little volumes of
nmatory verse, n canister OF Lisbon or
Spanish snuif, n smelling bottle and
perhaps Il few fashionable trinkets.
AS soon as he deemed proper the
beau arose and with incredible dltll-
Guilty proceeded to put on all his
charms, to perfume his garments, to
soak his hands In washes for the sake
of producing whiteness and delicacy,
to tinge his checks with carmlnative
in order TO give them that gentle
blush which nature had denied them,
to arrange number of patches upon
his face so as to produce the effect of
moles and dimples, to dip his pocket
handkerchief In rosewater and to pow
der his linen SO as TO Danish from 1t
the smell of soap, to consume quarter
of an hour In the attempt to fasten
his cravat, so long again In the en-
deavor TO adjust his wig and to "cock"
his hat, as long again In the contem-
plation of his charms in the looking
glass and as long again In the practice
of such smiles as would display to the
best advantage the ivory whiteness of
his teeth-these were the processes
through which he who desired to fig
ure as beau Of the first magnitude
was compelled in that age to pass.
The character of the beau, so far as
his outward and personal appearance
was concerned, was now complete, and
as In those days fashionable gentlemen
used their legs TO much less extent
than they do now our imaginary beau
would have directed his valet to order
u sedan chair without delay. Into
this he stepped and was borne to the
| fashionable haunt-to the mall In st.
James park or perhaps to the more
ceremonlous parade In Hyde park
where like butterfly, he delighted to
fiutter In the train of some jilting
beauty, who gloried In nothing so
much as "an equipage OF fools" and
who was perfectly willing for tho
nonce to furnish him with an excuse
for toastlng her In n tavern at night
