A Grand Pageant.

The brilliant and gorgeous effect which
will be produced by the decorations used
for the carnival, Dec II to 10, will form
most attractive and pleasing feature
OF this big production. George N. Beals,
the manager of the Boston DECORATING
Co., which furnishes all the decorations
used in this spectacle, is no stranger to
st. Johnsbury people, having decorated
the Armory and Music Hall many times
IN years past for balls and social events.
The material used to present the spec
tacular arrangement OF the Congress of
Nations are OF the very finest quality,
and have been selected especially for each
national booth. One of the most at.
tracttve national booths will be the
Russian National Cafe" at which
dainty meals will be served on the Euro
pean plan each day from 5 to 10 q, M.
and the bill of fare will be very tempting.
In the United States" booth lemon
strator will make all kinds of candy, and
offer for sale the most extensive line OF
sweet goods imaginable.
The japanese nation will furnish dis
t1nct novelty in the form of a wonderful
pond containing great treasures, which
can only be secured by the aid of a hook
and line, and all anglers can feel sure of
getting fish out of this pond. These are
hut lew features connected with the
enterprise, and more real pleasure and
fun awaits the people than any one can
Imagine. Don't forget the date, Dec. II,

. A special dispatch from Whatcom
to the Seattle Times, under date of
Nay IL, says: at is stated today that
it is the intention Of the Northwest
ern Telephone Company-the inde-
pendent organization that was recent
ly granted franchises by the councils of
this city and Fairliaven, to connect up
the San Juan group of islands with
the cities here. This involves the
laying of "a good many miles of cable.
The larger of these islands has an in
dependent system of its own, but
none of them have any wire gommuni-
cation with the mainland. 1t is said
that the Northwestern people will ac-
quire this Independent system, extend
it to the more important of the other
islands and then connect the whole
thing with the mainland"

grinations. The Time, says:
"a gentleman of known integrity, re-
siding at Friday Harbor, has sent to the
Times fish story which is published
herewith. The Times does not ouch for
the truth Of the narrative. although it is
much more plausible than some of the
stories frequently related by travelling
men. 1t follows:
..Bcing unable to procure a launch,
three travelling men, ID. NJ. Peoples, rep
resenting Louch. Augustine q Co.;. K. f.
Clark, representing the New York Life
Insurance Company, and III. c. McAilis-
ter, with Jaques Manufacturing Com
pany, Chicago, were compelled to make
the trip from Lopez to Friday Harbor in
a rowboat. On their way over they en-
countered school Of black fish, closely
followed by two large whales. Had it not
been for the fact that these two enormous
monsters were quarreling among them
selves i'm devouring the black fish, OF
which they were in pursuit, the trip
might have resulted disastrously for
these three men. When they arrived
here they were nearly exhausted from
their efforts to reach this harbor, and re-
late that at times it was question
whether or not they would ever reach
land, as several times. the monsters were
so close that the water around their boat
was greatly agitated, and the fumes from
the spouting of the whales was nauseat-
ing. Several of our townspeople left here
Immediately in Il steam launch, stationed
here, to view the monsters from a dis
tance. The officers OF the steamer Buck
eye, which left this port shortly after the
arrival of the travelling men, can verify
this statement. The boys say no moro
rowboats for them in these waters"

@. G. Randles went to Newhall Sat
urday, expecting to be employed there
a large part of the summer on Mr..
NewhalPs new steamer, of the con-
struction of which J. A. Scrlbner has
charge. Before work on the new boat
is resumed, however, the Buckeye is to
be thoroughly overhauled and have
new machinery Installed, which will
materially increase her speed, and
other Improvements are to be made
which will make her more suitable for
passenger service than she ever has
been before. 1t is hardly probable that
the new steamer will be completed be-
fore September or October.
|. At the school election here last Sat
urday L. b. Carter and .. H. Culver
were elected directors and f. H. Nash
clerk. The election was characterized
by the usual degree of apathy on the
part of nine-tenths or more of the peo-
pie. Scarcely more than one person in
twenty Of those entitled TO vote app
peared at the polls. There is no doubt,
however, that very large percentage
of those who failed to attend will be
ready enough with criticisms Of the di-
rectors if,the management Of school
affairs does not accord with their views.
Nevertheless, it must bs admitted that
during the past year the people have
been quite considerate In, this respect,
although there was, unfortunately, in
two departments, considerable occasion
for dissatisfaction. 1t is no easy mat
ter for the directors TO obtain such
teachers as theyswould liksau have for
the sthall salaries to which they are
limited.

The above dispatch would seem to
indicate that the Northwest Telephone
Company has been persuaded to ex-
tend its system to this county, although
there is reason to believe that the an
nouncement is somewhat premature.
1t hardly seems probable that the COM
pany would decide definitely upon an
extension involving so large an outlay
as the proposed system would with
out first sending representative to
make a personal investigation of the
situation with view to determining
the most practicable route and forming
some idea of the amount of patronage
that can be obtained. This. has not
yet been done, nor has the company
entered INTO any negotiation with DR..
Capron, who owns the San Juan island
system, for the purchase of his lines.
The whole matter, however, can doubt
less be arranged on satisfactory basis
if the company is really in earnest in
it's intentions as reported.
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1902-05-15

When the telephone proposition was
land before the Whatcom Commercial
Club by the editor of the ISLANDER he
was assured by the president of the
club that the matter would be taken
up with the Northwest telephone
people, and this has probably been
done. Shortly afterward the editor
received letter inquiring if the COM
missioners Of this county would grant
an exclusive franchise for inter-island
telephone service and connection with
the mainland system of the Northwest
company, and stating that if such
franchise, were granted the service de-
sired would be inaugurated within
three months. The editor replied that
the commissioners had been advised
that they had no authority to grant
such franchise, at the same time stat
ing that the company could undoubt-
edly make contracts with the people of
the county for their, service which
would afford them ample protection.

The editor is in receipt of a letter
from Lopez island citizen asking if
he will not advocate the organization
of mutual telephone associations" on
the several islands for the purposes Of
local communication. Certainly he
will. The ISLANDER has frequently
called attention to the many advant-
agrs of such service, 50 easily obtained,
and to the success which has attended
the operation of rural. telephone sys-
TENS in the. east andpip portions Of this
state. The cost is Insignificant in COM
parison with the yresulting benefits.
Everywhere in this county poles are
easily obtainableyvire good enough for
many years ussiean be laid down at
any steamboat landing for about $l2
mile, and first-class instruments can be
purchased outright at prices ranging
from S. to $l2, according to size and
power.

One crisis In Lord Palmerston's life
illustrates the absolute good humor
which may prevail even when political
enmity is at its worst. Lord Derby had
made an attack upon him in the upper
house with such energy and eloquence
that the odds against him seemed over
whelming. But he defended himself
and his policy from the dusk Of one
day to the dawn Of another with such
tact, dexterity and force OF appeal to
the national sense of honor that he was
acquitted of all blame by majority of
fourscore.
Next day In passing through the cor
ridor leading from an anteroom to the
upper house one swing door opened TO
his hand and at the same moment the
other to that of Lord Derby. They
were opponents. but they were also
manly and sweet natured men. They
smiled.
Il was just thinking" said Palmer
ston, what a clever fellow he was who
so nearly put me in hole"
"Ah." was the rejoinder, but moth

The following story. told by the

which to condemn first, the boaster or
his critics. IL concerns certain man
who has a large collection of auto
graphs.
Indeed. the envy and sometimes the
skepticism OF his friends have been ex-
cited by the number of successful au
thors who have set down familiar and
flattering inscriptions in his books
Some carpers have even gone so far
as TO hint darkly at similarity Of
handwriting throughout the collection.

1t Is said that Horne Tooke, who ex-
celled in that duellike controversy ex-
hibited by two disputants when pitted
against each other with only the
breadth Of mahogany board between
them, was exceedingly quick and sharp
at retort. When he made his most
deadly thrusts, it was with smiling
countenance and without seeming ef-
fort or emotion. Replying to man
who contended that only landowners
should be allowed to vote at elections,
he said, Pray tell me how many acres
does it take TO make n wiseacre"
When asked by George I'LL whether he
ever played cards, he replied, Il can
not, your majesty. tell king from a

comic than his saying to his brother:

verted the laws OF nature. You have
