GEORGE w. NO GENTLEMAN.
He Was Told So Once, and at Another
Time He Proved II.

When Lord Liverpool was form
ing his ministry in 1922 he thought
it absolutely necessary to have Can
ming at the foreign office, although
aware that the appointment would
be obnoxious to George Nv. The
Duke of Wellington undertook the
unpleasant task of communicating
Lord Liverpools determination.
As soon as the king knew what
was wanted of him he broke out:
arthur, it is impossible said, on
my honor as a gentleman, he should
never be one of my ministers again.
I ann sure you will agree with mo
that I cannot do what | said or my
honor as a gentleman l would rot
do.
Another man would have bc'r i
fenced, but the great soldier, 81 -
equal to an emergency, replied:
"Pardon me. sir, but / don't sTrce
with YOU at all. Your majesty is ut
a gentleman"
2 be bold assertion startled the
king, but the duke went on, Yer
majesty is not a gentleman. the
sovereign of England, with es
to your people far above qnv to
yourself. and these duties rcn FL it
imperative that You should 10y
the abilities Of Mr.. Canning.
'|Well, Arthur" said the ng,
drawing a long breath, eff / Il. ist,

Although he did not like Ling
told he was not a gentleman, George
" had once, at least, while regent
forgotten he was one. This was
when he flung a glass Of wine in
Colonel Hamlyn's face, with Ham
lyn, you are a blackguardlv
The insulted officer could not re-
turn the compliment without COM
hitting something like treason--it
was out Of the question to challenge
the prince, while 10 let the insult
pass unnoticed was equally impossi-
bic.
The colonel filed his glass and
threw the contents in the face Of his
neighbor. saying, ellis majesty's
toast, pass it on"
"Ilamlyn," cried the regent,
"you're a capital fellow Here's

And they were fast friends from
that evening.

Another Rock Well

james Lee struck a fine flow of
water the first of the week, at a
depth OF sixty-five feet, in the well he
is drilling for the Friday Harbor
Lumber Co. on the rocky hillside
above the mill. Fortv-five feet of the
depth is in solid rock and twenty feet
is cased in quicksand and gravel. The
water comes up to within five feet Of
the surface. Boring will be continued
few days longer in the hope Of strik-
ing another flow. The bottom of the
well is now little below sea level.

Mock Trial

Considerable interest is being taxed
in the Mock Trial to be held in Odd
Fellows hall on the evening OF the
22nd, under the auspices of the La
dies Aid Society of the M. D. church.
The plaintiff, who is supposed to be
the belle of Argyle, brings suit against
the poet-laureate of Kanaka Bay,
Josiah Allan, for breach Of promise to
marry, placing her damages at the
modest sum of s., ,OOO.0O. AS would
naturally be expected, most Of the
prominent citizens living in the vicin-
ity Of Argyle and Kanaka Bay, are
summoned to tell what they know
about the alleged courtship between
these parties. In addition there will
be a number Of expert witnesses.
All the local attorneys will take
mart Gene Gould will preside as
Judge, August Void as High Clerk
and A. S. Hall as High Sheriff. The
pleadings, testimony, instructions,
etc. used in the trial were originally
prepared by Attorney Garrettfor an
eastern literary society and he has
now revised and localized the whole.
Those who are familiar with the case
declare that il IS q hummer.

AMES lULLOCH, OICIictI OLSO, 1oo U
Sound 1.-THE former misfit PROPOSE
tion having been voted down by the
people J think it would be very un-
wise move for the board of commits
sioners to build cheap frame struc-
ture without submitting it to vote
of the taxpayers of the county. Per
sonally | am very much opposed to
the erection of court house that we
would feel like apologizing for to
strangers from abroad, especially
when we have numerous quarries Of
splendid bulding stone in the county
and can therefore not only have a
structure that will be credit to us
but will advertise our resources as
well. I believe if we can eliminate
the regulation 'court house graft"
we can erect a stone building for
$25, 900 to $50, 900 that will be ample
not only for the needs of this genera
tion but the next also. l favor the
issuance of long term bonds in pay
ment, as by that means we can OBJ
tain a low rate of interest. If the
case is so urgent a special cleo
tion can be called, for it is better to
60 to even this expense than to act
without the wishes of the taxpayers
being known"
&c. w. WoOLARD, stockman, Or
cas:-"I favor the erection of sub
stantial brick or stone building to
cost 500, 900 to $25, 900 and l believe
that the funds to pay for it should be
raised by issuing long term bonds at
low rate of interest. A good build
ing will be of lasting benefit to the
county and there is no good reason
why later generation should not
pay portion of the cost. The sooner
we build The better. We are taking
! altogether too much risk in keeping
our tax rolls and other valuable rec
ords in the fiimsy old shell we are
now using. !"
w. F. BOLTON, u. S. mail carrier,
Richardson: am in favor of new
court house, built Of stone, to cost

missioners have the authority to do
! so they should build it at once. +"

ANACORTES MAIL
PETITION DENIED
PROPOSED CHANGE Is CONSIDER .
ED IMPRACTICABLE
Protest of Friday Harbor and Bel
Hngham Business Men Fully Sus-
ta1ned by the Department, After
Careful Investigation.

Some weeks ago petitions originat-
ing in Anacortes, were circulated in
this county asking for the establish
ment of a daily mail service between
Anacortes and certain points in this
county in lieu of the present service
to and from Be.li1gham under the
contract held by Andrew Newhall.
The ISLANDER protested against the
proposed change at the time and the
editor drew up protest which was
signed by all the business men in Fri
day Harbor, as well as by the post
master and others, and he also en-
listed the aid of the Bellingham Cham
Der of Commerce against the propo-
sition This action was taken not be-
cause Of the slightest unfriendly feel
ing toward Anacortes, but because
it would be quite seriously detri-
mental to the interests of the people
of this county to be deprived of half of
their steamboat service to and from
Bellingham, which is second only to
Seattle as a market for county pro-
ducts and base of supply. The pro-
tests etc, were forwarded through
Congressman Humphrey, and that
they had the desired effect is evident
from the following letter received by
him from the second assistant post
master general:
Washington, D. c., Oct. 20, 1905
Hon. w. E. HUMPHREY,
Seattle, Washington.
Sir
have the honor to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your communication of the 5th.
instant, transmitting protests from pat
rons of Friday Harbor, Washington, also
from the Chamber of Commerce of Bel
bingham, Washington, and newspaper
clipping from the'' ''SAN JUAN Islander
against the proposed change change on
route No. II ,O8l, Anacortes to Bellingham,
Washington, SO as to be from Anacertes
to Friday Harbor only. The matter has
been carefully investigated, and the
change proposed is regarded by the De-
pratment as impracticable, and the parties
urging suc1 change have been advised
that no action in the matter will be taken.
Very respectfully,
w. S. SHALLENBURGER
Second Asst. PostmaSter-G Gen1.

w. E. SUTHERLAND, merchant, Or
cast am in favor of erecting a new
court house and think brick build
ing would be preferable at the pres
ent time If a suitable building can
be erected of brick or stone at cost
not to exceed $25, 900 I think it would
be satisfactory to the taxpayers of
the county. Personally do not favor
special election, inasmuch as there
will be general election in about a
year and the question could then be
submitted without entailing any extra
experse. However, if majority of
the taxpayers demand a new building
without delay, think we can safely
trust the matter in the hands of the
commissioners, who are good conser-
vative men, if they have the power to
act"
J. III. NICHOLS, orchardist and for
mer county commissioner, East
Sound There can be no question
about the necessity for more COM
modious court house and a safer
place in which to keep the county's
records. / think that three-sided
proposition should be submitted to a
popular vote to determine whether
we shall erect frame building on a
stone basement, brick building or a
stone building, and that the approx
innate cost of each should be given. l
believe the proposition to build. if
clearly submitted, would carry by a
nice vote"
WILLIAM JACOBS, merchant, West
Sound:-'1 favor building of stone
or brick, or both-one that will be
useful for years to come, and it is my
opinion that lopg term bonds should
be issued to pay for it. It is nearly
criminal to deposit valuable papers
in shell of a building like the pres
ent one and l believe that something
should be done at once. !"
]. 7. STROUD, merchant, Deer Har-
bor:-sIf we are to have new court
house believe we should have good
one, built of brick and stone, and that
bonds should be issued for a sufficient
sum to build it. Such building vii
be credit to the county and we will
be proud of it when it is done.
