The Telsphone-Cable Project

'Hello, Bellingham."
4" II clio, who is this?"
"This is San Juan county, and we
want to know the prospects for recipro-
city of trade between Belliugham and
these lslands?n
The foregoing is probably one of the
first messages that will be sent over
the wire when telephone connections
are complete between the group OF
islands in San Juan county and the
new city of Bellingham.
David K. Lain, chairman Of the
committee appointed by the CONNER
cial Club to investigate the proposition
and solicit subscriptions, reports ex-
cellent progress to date.
Mr.. Lain has found an obstacle in
the soliciting of subscriptions due to
the fact that wireless telegraphic sys'
tenn has been promised for the island,
with central station at Friday Har-
bor.-Fairhaven and Whatcom Her
aid.
1t might be of interest to know
where Mr.. Lam has experienced diff
Guilty in soliciting subscriptions 10y
reason of the wireless telegraph here.
At the time of Mr.. Lain's first visit
here, with "a representative of the Sun
set Telephone Company, the announce
ment had been made. that a wireless
telegraph station would soon be estab.
lished on San Juan island. This was
well understood when the guarantees
obtained from the county and from in
dividuals in aid of the telephone pro-
ject were given. The ISLANDER has
not been advised that any disposition
has been manifested to withdraw these
assurances. If, however, they are
withdrawn to such an extent as TO
cause the abandonment of Mr.. Lain's
project the ISLANDER is assured that
the Island Telephone Company will
connect Lopez. Shaw ano Orcas islands
with the wireless station here, and
Manager New, of the Wireless Tele-
graph Company, assures us of his read
mess to establish state at Whatcon
if reasonable amount of business i.
guaranteed. So, i'm any event, it would
seem that our isolation in the matter oi
communication is likely to be at an end
ere long.

DID PINNEO HAVE
A PIPE DREAM
A STRANGE EXPERIENCE REPORTED
NEE Il DEER HARBoR
Foqr Swarthy Foreigners, Having tho
Look OF Pirates, Take Bearings From
Moss Grown Rock-Apparcntiy in
Search of Buried Treasure.

A strange tale comes from Deer Har.
bor that reminds one OF. the hair-rais-
ing stories of Capt. Kidd aud the buc-
cancers of the Spanish MAIN, 1t Is told
by Fred Pinneo who was made to play
part in it that made him, extremely
uncomfortable for day or two. He
says that while he was at work cutting
cordwood for the Deer Harbor Lime
Company on its property and only
about quarter OF a mile from its kiln,
Thursday afternoon about four o'clock
four strange men suddenly appeared
before him in the woods--all dark,
swarthy foreigners, who talked among
themselves il a languags unknown to
him. One. of them is described as a
man of immense size, fully six feet and
a half in height, armed with two big
revolvers and a long knife. Another
was very old man, apparently up
wards of ninety, whose tottering steps
two of the younger men supported.
This venerable old chap directed tho
others to a large rock, overgrown with
m ,ss and which had evidently been
urdisturbed for many years. This big
boulder was turned over and from un-
derneath it black bottle was taken
and on the spot where the bottle lay n
compass was set and certain bearings
taken. The stump of tree which Mr..
Pinneo had felled was measured anG
the measurements taken for Identified
ton with data which the party had.
Pinneo was then ordered not to follow
them or report their presence to any
one until some Of the party returned
and gave him permission to do so, and
the p 'omis es required were. given with
alacrity. The mysterious party then
departed and disappeared in the shad-
ows of the forest and Pinneo remained
in his cabin alone all night awaiting
their return with wonder not unmiXe0
with fear. About the middle of the
following day they returned, made
some more observations and again left,
telling Pinneo that he was free to de-
part in peace, which he lost no time in
doing. He says that soon after the
party left he saw boat pull ont to
ward the north with four Inan in it.
None of their talk among themselves
was Ineligible to him, only one--he OF
the giant stature, reyolyers and bowie
knife, seeming to have any knowledge
of English. Mr.. Pinne0 told his ex-
perienca to Foreman PaXson, OF the
Island Lime Company. as soon as he
could find him and the latter does not
question the truth of the story, much
as it seems like 'pipe dream" OF
carefully concocted hoax.
1t is said that somewhere in that VI
cinity there are a lot of boulders ar
ranged in the form OF an anchor anC
which have long been known to few
'old settlers as the "rock anchor"
The overturned and >m0ss-grown boul-
der may have been. one of these.

by the Templin Compahy. The pres
ent wharf is owned by DR.. Harrison
who also owns the tide land for some
distance between the, wharf and the
head of the bay, from which the Temp-
Inns intend to build their wharf, ruin
ming over 700 feet out to deep water,
fronting the Harrison tide land a con-
siderable portion Of the. distance and
terminating near the Harris OH wharf
so near that it is claimed by DR.. Harri-
son that it would iniure his property
and be an obstruction to navigation.
On the west side of the proposed Temp
lin wharf is Rocky island, which is
government land and has never been
surveyed. II is alleged that the pro-
posed wharf, if built, would cross tide
land abutting this little island and as
the state can neither sell nor lease tide
land abutting unsuryeyed government
land, a restraining order may be APP
piled for to prevent the construction of
the wharf until the matter can be
heard i'm court, unless the work is
stopped by order of Maj. Mills, of the
u. s5. engineers office in Seattle, who
sent a surveyor there last Thursday to
examine the situation and report.

Constituting the Road Law

In response to requests for his con-
struction of certain sections of the new
road law the attorney general says thai
the county commissioners have no
power to appoint person as general
superintendent of roads" or Otherwise,
and confer upon him the duties and
functions imposed by statute upon the
county surveyor that each road super
visor must be appointed from among
the qualified electors of his district;
that section l3, psge 225, requiring the
road supervisors to submit monthly re-
ports does not mean that the county
commissioners shall hold regular
monthly sessions; and that the COM
pensation of the county surveyor Is
still governed by section 1880, vol. l,
BalIinger's code, and is not left to the
discretion of the county commission
ers.

The Ja5uar'5 Cunning.

In the more tropical parts of
South America the rivers are often
crowded with alligators. They are
ugly customers in their own elc-
ment and are best given a wide berth.
When a jaguar wishes to cross a
stream he knows the risk he runs
and acts accordingly. Standing on
the bank, he begins to roar and
keeps it up for an hour. Meanwhile
the alligators gather near the spot
in great numbers, licking their jaws
as they think OF the treat in store.
By and by the jaguar ceases roaring
and dashes up stream for two or
three miles and there crosses in
safety. His artfulnesS is displayed
in two points-not' o y does he de-
liberatcly adopt plan to outwit
his foes, but he proves his wisdom
by selecting a place up the river,
knowing that the alligators would
have to swim against the stream to
reach him and thus increasing his
chance of safety.

scocKRELL-HARG1s FEuD.
Feared That Assassination of Attor-
ney Marcum In Kentucky Will
Result In Its Renewal

Lexington, KY, May 6.-Wood G.
Dunlap, of this city, left Tuesday for
Jackson, Ky, as attorney for the
fusionists in the Breathitt county
scontested-election cases. He sue
ceeds as counsel James B. Marcum,
who was killed in the courthouse
Monday while fling papers in these
cases. 1t is feared here that the pro-
ceedings at this time will precipitate
further trouble in the Cockrell-Har-
gis feud, in which half a dozen lives
have already been lost.
A telegram from a member of tho
Hargis faction to ex-senator Alex,
ander Hargis, at Winchester, said
that Be1yin Even, who was talking
with Marcum Monday when he was
shot by the assassin in the Breathitt
county courthouse, recognized the
murderer. Even when seen Tuesday
positively refused to say anything
regarding the shooting, except to de-
scribe how they were standing when
the shots were fred. He refused to
say who fred the shots or who was
recognized in the hallway Of the
courthouse. The belief is that the
feud is new reopened.

CHAPTER <.

Il Is now proper to touch upon q
different element in this story. 1t.
may seem strange to the reader that
Warde should have developed so ar.
dent an interest in the case which we,
have been sidering, and the writer.
would not be quite frank it he did.
not admit that the young reporters
activity was not purely professional
From the very moment that he be-
held Miriam Wright, the mystery had
possessed for him . fascina ton that
would not be put aside. So far as Her
bert Wright was concerned, it cannot
be said that Irving was absorbingly
interested in his affairs; and 1t was
at frst more an instinct than any
thing else which causad him to be-
lieye that the young fellow was inno-
cent. It was the intangible influence

RAISES THE STANDARD.
Association Of American Metlical col-
Ieges Decides to Admit only
CoMege-Educated Men.

New Orleans, May e.-With q rec
,ord-breaking attendance, both In
point of delegates and visitors, and
with many distinguished physicians,
surgeons and scientists present, the
fifty-fourth annual meeting Of the
American Medical association opened
Tuesday at Tulane theater. Pres
ident Frank Billings called the meet
ing to order and later spoke briefly
in acknowledging the several ad.
dresses Of welcome Of the city.
The endowed medical colleges Of
the north scored big victory at the
Association of American Medical Col
leges late Monday night in the adop-5
ton of an amended report OF the
committee to which tho matter of
requirements for admission had been
referred. The report ~ adopted re-
quires four full years Of work in the
high school or It's equivalent for
eligibility to admission-tn medical
college. This Is believed to mean the
final exclusion from admission in the
medical colleges OF all applicants
who have not had q college education.
Two-thirds Of the medical colleges in
the country are not endowed.

sobered and frightened at the sudden
ness of the question.

Irving broke in here: s.Come, gen

"Oh, go to grass!'' said the colonel
angrily.
Colonel. / won't do it," said Irving
with dignity. I've got to take Frank
/ home"
Never mind Frank. I'll take him
home. You've got a big enough job
to take yourself home..'
"Al right, Colonel. I'll hold you
personally responsible when you So
Der up. Goodby. I'll see you later"
And he reeled away, leaving Frank
and the colonel to fight it out. As
soon as he; reached cross street he!
turned into it, Strengthened himself
up, and walked briskly to hotel;
for he did not care to be found in
his room that night. The clerk gave
him a room without entering his
name on the register, and he retired
at once to read the paper which he
had obtained from Frank Hillsman.
Warde's intoMcation that night was
OF course all trick. Though he had
ostensibly disposed of several drinks
|sof whisky, he had as matter Of
fact simply elected the liquor into the
| glass OF water which accompanies
each drink: So when he reached his
room at the hotel he was as sober
as he had been when he met Hillsman.
