Although there is still large
number of people in Tampico sick

during the last part of August only
twenty-three deaths occurred from
that disease.
Report comes from Victoria, the

DALGO AND JAMES ISLANDS
Company Expects to Reach Other Islands
by Overhead Wires-Steps Taken to
Legalize Dutiable Importations in
Small Boats.

David E. Lain made short call al
the ISLANDER office a few days ago EN-
route to his home in Whatcom from
making preliminary survey for
route for the iater-sland telephone
cable from Fidalgo island, as len.
toned i'm the ISLANDER last week.
The soundings made between Point
Lawrence, Orcas island, and Lummi
island having convinced him that 1t
would be impracticable to attempt the
the laying of the cable there he sough
more favorable route across Rosario
strait from Fidalgo island, and found
it. He reports having found an ideal
route from Shannon point, south of
Anacortes, TO james island a distance
OF about four miles, the average depth
of eater beng only about 80 fathoms,
with sand bottom practically the entire
distance. James island is OH the east
side of Decatur island from which it is
separated by a narrow passage which
Cdil DS spdhuti ny an VIZ
From the south end Of Decatur island
Mr. Lain expects 10 reach Lopez island
by an overhead wire across Lopez pass.
From there Richardson will be reached
by land wire and at Richardson it is
proposed to establish an exchange at
which the San Juan, Shaw and Orcas
lines will converge, Mr.. Lain assuming
that it will be possible to reach San
Juan island by an overhead wire across
San Juan pass, by erecting a lofty mast
or steel tower on one of the rocky reef
in the pass, and he expects to reach
Shaw and Orcas islands by overhead
wires across Upright channel and Wasp
and Pole passes. 1t is his intention to
go to San Francisco soon after the frs t
of January to confer with the chief
officials of the Sunset Telephone Com
pany, at their request He hopes to
begin the laying of the cable early in
the coming year and to have the
through line in operation within few
months.

VIII Enforce the Law

Collector Ide, of the Puget Sound
customs district has determined to
strictly enforce the law against owners
of gasoline launches and other small
craft propelled by power who fail to
comply with the requirements relating
to lights, fog signals, steering and sail
ing rules, etc. In a letter of instruc-
tiens to revenue officers, just issued, he
says:
"Owners have now had ample OPP
portunity to properly equip their ves-
sells, and any failure to fully comply
with the law brought to the attention
of this Office will be followed in every
case with an assessment of the full
penalties, namely, $500 against the ves-
sci and $50 against the master or mate;
and the private parties concerned, if
dissatisfied, may apply for relief to the
department of commerce and labor,
through this Office, setting forth any
mitigating circumstances that may
exist"

Another Rowing Schedule "

The Bellingh ham Chamber of Com
merce has endorsed the proposition ad-
vocated by the Reveille for daily mail
service between here and Bellingham,
leaving here at 6 a. m. and leaving
Bellingham "not later than 3 p. m.,"
touching at all intermediate offices in
this county now on the Buckeyes
route and including Beach, Lummi
island, on Hale's passage, instead of
Urban, on Cottonwood island. To
reach this point would involve long
detour and make the route materially
longer than the present route via Cot
tonwood 1t would be quite out of the
question to cover such route upon a
five-hour schedule as proposed. The
Buckeye makes as good time as the
average small mail steamer and il sell
dom makes the trip between here and
Whatcom lover a shorter route) in less
than seven hours and ordinarily the
time is an hour longer.

School Exercises

School closed for the holiday vaca-
ton last Friday with appropriate exsr-
cises in the several departments, which
were enjoyed by quite number OF
visitors. In the lower rooms there
were numerous songs and recitations
appropriate to Christmas time and
there were some excellent drawings of
"Santa Claus" holly and mistletoe on
the blackboards. Up stairs the school
literary society had a Whittier pro-
gram, commemorative of the great
poets birthday. Jessie Strahl recited
"The Witones' Daughter" Mabel Bro
der "The Yankee Girl" and Edward
King "In School Days" and Prof.
Joubert read and explained the signifi-
canoe of "Ichabod,' which was pow
erful denunciation of Daniel Webster
for his support of the "Missouri Com
promise" on the slavery question.

Foresting Christmas trees in Maine
gives employment in the month of No
vember to thousands of people who
would otherwise be idle. 1t also puts
into the pockets of the people of the
state every year something like one
hundred thousand dollars. Before the
tree industry began, the fir lands We're
exempt from taxation because they
were worthless. 1t is said that one
could sometimes buy a whole town
ship of about 23,0U0 acres for hundred
dollars. These same lands are now
worth ten to fifteen dollars an acre for
Christmas trees alone!

To Remove Tonnage Restriction

At the instance Of Collector of Gus
toms g. w. Ide the commissioner OF
navigation has recommended the re-
peal Of that portion of statute enacted
in 1899 which has hitherto prevented
the legal importation of dutiable mer-
chandiss into this district from British
Columbia ports in vessels OF less than
thirty tons burden, although there IL
no such restriction at ports along the
Maine frontier. Several years ago Dep
uty Collector Culver, then at Roche
Harbor, called the attention of two
special agents of the treasury depart
ment to this discrimination against the
people of this county, whom it prin-
cipally affects, and argued that there
could be no just reason why our peopls
should be denied import privileges that
were expressly granted to retidenA
along the "northerp, northeastern ana
northwestern frontiers" by the act OF
1899, simply because the territory now
l0cluufu III vi a '|SNAN
was not then acknowledged to be
part of the United States, although
acquired by discovery i'll 1872" The
intent of the law was plain, although
the treasury departments construction
of it was doubtless technically correct.
Collector Huestis did not deem it al
visable to recommend any change and
nothing further was done about it until
the matter was called to the attention
of his successor, Collector Ide, here
by Deputy Collector Culver a few
months ago. Mr.. Ide has succeeded In
securing favorable action on the part oil
the commissioner of navigation ana
bill has already been introduced In the
senate by Senator Foster intended tc
give effect to the collectors recommen-
dation. If the bill becomes law, rs ~
doubtless will, it will do much to slim
uIate trade between this county ana
British Columbia.

In Norway, where Christmas finds
the land buried deep Iundsr the snow,
the fiords frozen and the whole eoun-
try tight IN the grasp of the ice, there
are many quaint and pretty Christmas
customs. Perhaps the most interesting
of all are the nesting and feeding of the
birds. A few days before Christmas
new straw and hay are put into every
nest that can be found in the hollow of
trees and the caves OF houses and
barns, and straw is scattered about
over the frozen snow to be carried
away by the birds themselves. Then,
in every available spot on the thatched
roofs on house tops, window sills and
doorsteps, are strewn large measures of
grain. 1t is pretty sight to see the
flocks of birds swooping down to this
feast. So they feed royalty during the
holiday times, making up for many
days of scant living, for it is hard to
find anything to eat where everything
is frozen so fast.
