In a letter to the editor Of the ISL
ANDER Mr.. Lain confirms the state
ments contained in the above report.
While he thinks it might be possible
to perfect the organization of a COM
pany capitalized at $4,000, as contem-
plated in the proposition submitted TO
the county commissioners, it would re-
quire considerable time to carry out
such a plan, and his committee has
reached the conclusion that the end
sought, viz, the establishment of cable
telephone service connecting the ISL
ands with the Sunset system at What
com, can more readily and easily be
attained by the organization of an in
dependent cable company to establish
connection between Orcas island and
Whatcom, leaving Capron q Douglas
to continue the operation of their local
systems and connect the islands, which
they have agreed to do. Subscriptions
for service covering period OF two
years will accordingingly be asked
from the business men of this county
and Whatcom, with this end in view.
Without reasonable guarantees of
business no company or individual
would feel justified in assuming the
burden of such an undertaking.

NEW PHONE PLAN
NOW PROPOSED
wHATCOM COMMERCIAL CLUB EN-
DORsEs THE PROJECT
Independent Company to Be Organized
to Lay Main Gable and Cooperate
With Capron & Douglas, Who Agree
to Connect Islands.

A Whatcom Especial" to the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer says: "The special
committee having in hand the PROPOSE
ton of connecting the San Juan islands
with Belingham bay by telephone has
perfected plan whereby the object de
sired may he accomplished. The plan
has been presented TO the governing
board of the Whatcom Commercial
Club, and by it indorsed, and ID. f.
Lain, chairman of the committee, will
make the canvass for the financial sup
port necessary to carry out the plan
proposed. This plan is a departure
from the one first considered. Instead
of buying the private telephone system
in use on the islands it is now proposed
to make it connecting link on some
basis of compensation to be determined
upon. The Sunset Telephone COM
pany's wires will be used from this city
to Marietta from which point the line
of the Carlisle Canning Company will
be used to Village point on Lummi
island. From Village point a cable
will be laid to Orcas island by a ccm-
pany to be organized among the busi-
ness men of BellIngham bay and the
residents of San Juan county. Mr..
Lain will canvass the business men Of
the bay to ascertain to what extent
they would use such line the frs
year. They will he asked to subscribe
a like amount to the cable fund and be
credited on the company's books there
with, which credit entities them to the
use of the phone without further
charge until the credit is thereby ex-
hausted. At tbs end of that time it is
figured that the project will take care
of itself. A considerable amount of
business has already been guaranteed,
both On Bellngham bay and on the
islands, and that the line will be estab-
lished is considered practically as
sured.n

WICHITA G. WESTERN WRECK.
Cool Head of Engineer Saves Whole
Train Load of People.

ram Load OF People.
A broken rail narrowly caused Wichita
and Western train No. sos, which left
Wichita Wednesday night at O'Clock, a
serious wreck near Tyler. a small sta
ton five miles from this city.
The train was in charge Of Conductor
Hamlin and J. n. HUFF. engineer. Thanks
to the cool head of Mr.. Huff throughout
the accident, there was no one hurt, but
several cars were badly wrecked and the
track damaged.
Being about two hours late train No.
sos was making fast time between Wich-
tia and Tyler when the engine passed
over q broken rail The baggage car and
smoker got over all right, but two cars
on the rear of the train were ditched.
The train ran the length of FIVE telegraph
poles before it came 10 a stop. Had Mr..
Huff thrown on the air, as is usually
done to bring a train TO a stop when
derailment occurs, it would have piled the
train uD in heap and undoubtedly
caused great loss Of life. Mr.. Huff did
nothing of the kind. He kept his head
and allowed the train to come TO a stand
still almost of its own accord.
Several passengers in the two rear
coaches. which toppled over, were bruis-
ed some, but nobody was badly hurt.

REINED HEN FRUIT.
Walking Advertisement Got an Unex

peonle have often been heard about
who have been rotten-egged at some time
in their lives, but it is a seldom occur
renee to hear of a person being good
egged.
The latter is what occurred to an over
grown boy. who appeared in the vicinity
of the Santa Fe passenger station and
the WeIs-Fargo & Co.'S depot on Santa
Fe avenue. yesterday morning.
While the perpetrators of the good
egging no doubt thought they were
highly complimenting the youth, when
good eggs which retail at the grocery
stores 1t % cents per dozen, were being
tossed in his direction. the victim grew
very wrathy at the onslaught on his per-
son and general makeup.
The makeup was an elaborate adver-
tisement Of some kind made into a suit
of loud colors. The wearer was a little
too fresh and smart acting, or maybe it
was on account of his general appear
ance, for some employees of the different
places in the locality mentioned. They
proceeded to plaster the unwelcome Wis
3tor with whatever they could lay
their hands on. y case OF fresh eggs was
the handiest thing. and what they did TO
the advertisement was plenty. There

Island at Topeka, a. H. Webb. superin-
tendent of the Missouri Pacific with head
quarters in Wichita: j. E. Hurley. gen
eral superintendent Of the SAINT Fe, OF
Topelza;F. c. Fox, division superintendent
of the Santa Fe at Newton; and ri. J. Gro
min, auditor of disbursements OF the
Frisco at ST. Louis, We're the members OF
a meeting which took place in Superin-
tendent NeDb's offices at the passenger
station yesterday morning at 10 O'Clock.
Superintendent Hurley and Fox of the
Santa Fe arrived in the city early yester-
day morning in their handsome private
cars, Nos 403 and PIG. Each coach occu-
pies a position on one OF the side tracks
near the companys passenger station.
Superintendent Jones OF the Rock Island

Mr. Cronin of the Frisco will remain in
Wichita today as will also SIessrs, Hur-
ley. Fox and Webb. Another meeting will

AS the meeting of the superintendent
at Mr.. Webb's Office yesterday was a pri-
vate gathering, the exact nature OF the
officials business here is not known. How
ever, a local official of one OF the com
panies vouchsafed the information that il
was regarding the recent purchase OF the
old Kansas Midland railroad by the
Frisco.
When that deal was consummated there
were many bills outstanding against the
Kansas Midland. Some OF these it is
said were contracted partially by the va
rious other railroads. AS the Frisco was
the purchaser of the line it, Of course, was
compelled to pay all such accounts.
The meeting is said to have been called
for the purpose OF deciding the amount
due the Frisco from each railroad com
pany on the accounts and to effect a set
tlenent.
At noon yesterday the meeting adjourn
ed and the superintendents in body Wis
tied the races. In the evening they wit
messed other features Of the fair and car
nival. After the meeting this morning
the officials will disperse for their various
