The defeat Of the proposition is attri-
buted largely to the Roche Harbor
Lime Company because of the great
activity of its president in opposition
to it,and his success in inducing the
candidates for co commissioners to attach
their signatures TO letter which he
wrote expressing his views as theirs,
with the idea of influencing votes ad-
versely. The ISLANDER has recognized
his perfect right to do all that he did
and has not impugned or even criti-
cized his motives. Neither has this
paper sought nor will it seek to intlu-
ence the new commissioners in the
least degree to act in respect to the
court house question otherwise than
in strict accordance with their ante
election pledges. H.
"The editor" has no "hatchet" to
bury because of the ''grand defeat of
the proposition, which was not so very
grand after all, nor has he anything to
be ashamed of at this season of "peace

persistent advocacy of a greatly needed
public improvement and one which he
even now believes is desired by a con-
siderable ma iorty of the county's tax

John Nicholson Drowned

John Nicholson, a nephew of John
and James Cousins, of Richardson, is
believed to have been drowned from
the steamer Garland between Belling-
ham bay and Olga Tuesday morning.
He was very much intoxicated and
very noisy at Whatcom when he board
ed the steamer there just before she left
at 2 o'clock. Two other young men
from Richardson accompanied him,
one of whom stayed with him faithful
ly, walked up and down the dock with
him and did his best to quiet him for
a long time before the boat left. They
didn't take berths, but sat up i'm the
smoking room. 1t is supposed that
while his companions were asleep
Nicholson staggered out of the room
and fell over the rail on the outside of
the narrow passage way. He was
missed shortly after the steamer left
Olga, where several passengers got off,
aid it is thought possible, though not
probable, that in his craze for more
liquor he may have gone ashore there.
He was young man, apparently be-
tween twenty and twenty-five years of
age, and had been a resident OF Lopez
since last March. His parents home is
in Alabama.
