An Artistic Greeting

The San Juan County Bank has
been sending out to its customers
this week most artistic Greeting,
expressing its thanks to them for
their patronage during the past year
and wishing them great prosperity
and happiness" during the coming
year. Mechanically, the greeting IS
a most beautiful specimen OF the
printing art, in four colors, handsom-
err, the banks officers agree, than
the Autographed sample made by the
Western Bank Note Company, OF
Chicago, from which the general idea
was taken. Tt is not at all probable
that any bank in the state has ever
sent out more elegant or tasteful
expression Of appreciation OF the pat
ronage of its customers. The work
was cone in the ISLANDER office.

A Valuable Calendar

Hodgson & Graham, the Richardson
merchants, are presenting their Gus
toners with a most unique and SER
viceable calendar for 1906. It is an
accurate map of Lopez, Decatur and
Blakeley islands and the small islands
contiguous to their shores, showing
all the county roads and steamboat
landings, names of channels, bays,
points, ETC.; also sections and town.
ships and the area of all fractional
subdivisions of land. The drawing
was made by W. 0. Clark, former
county auditor. The engraving was
done in Seattle and the printing in
the ISLANDER Office. It is a fine
piece Of work and an expensive one
and it should be appreciated by the

Sherlock Holmes preserved his calm
professional manner until our visitor
had left us, although it was easy for
me, who knew him so well, to see that
he was profoundly excited. The mo-
ment that Hilton Cubitt's broad back
had disappeared through the door my
comrade rushed to the table, laid out
all the slips of paper containing dane
ing men in front of him and threw him
self into an intricate and elaborate cal
culatiOn. For two hours / watched him
as he covered sheet after sheet Of paper
with figures and letters, so completely
absorbed in his task that he had evil
IDENTITY forgotten my presence. Some
times he was making progress and
whistled and sang at his work Some
times he was puzzled and would sit for
long spells with a furrowed brow and
a vacant eye. Finally he sprang from
his chair with a cry Of satisfaction and
walked up and down the room rubbing
his hands together Then he wrote
long telegram upon a cable form. eff
my answer to this is as hope, you will
have a very pretty case to add to your
collection, Watson" said he. Il expect
that we shall be able to go down to
Norfolk tomorrow and to take our
friend some very definite news as to
the secret of his annoyance"
I confess that was filled with curl
osity, but 1 was aware that Holmes
liked to make his disclosures at his own
time and il his own way, so 1 waited
until it should suit him to take me into
his confidence.
But there was delay in that an
swering telegram, and two days of
ampatience followed, during which
Holmes pricked UP his ears at every
ring of the bell. On the evening of the
second there came letter from Hilton |
Cubitt. All was quiet with him, save /
that a long inscription had appeared |
that morning upon the pedestal Of the
sundial. He inclosed copy of it, which
is here reproduced:
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1905-07-01

Watson, T. owe you every atonement
for having. allowed your natural Curl
IOsity to remain so long unsatisfed.
To you, inspector, the whole incident
may appeal as remarkable profess
sional study. 1 must tell you, first of
all, the interesting circumstances con-
nected with the previous consultations
which Mr.. Hilton Cubitt has had with
me in Baker street." He then shortly
recapitulated the facts which have al
ready been recorded. 81 have here in
| front Of me these singular productions,
at which one might smile had they not
proved themselves to be the forerun-
| ners Of so terrible a tragedy. I am
fairly familiar with all forms of secret
trtfing monograph upon the subject, in
which I analyze 100 separate ciphers,
but I confess that this is entirely new
to me. The object Of those who in
vented the system has apparently been
to conceal that these characters con-
vey message and to give the idea that
they are the mere random sketches Of
children.
"Having once recognized, however,
that the symbols stood for letters, and
having applied the rules which guide
us in all forms of secret writings, the
solution was easy enough. The first
message submitted to me was so short
that it was impossible for me to do
more than to say with some confidence
that the symbol X stood for E. AS you
are aware, E is the most common let
ter in the English alphabet, and it pre-
dominates to so marked an extent that
even in a short sentence one would ex-
pect to find it most often. Out of fif-
teen symbols in the first message four
were the same, so it was reasonable to
set this down as E. It is true that in
some cases the figure was bearing a
flag and in some cases not, but 1t was
probable from the way In which the
flags were distributed, that they were
used to break the sentence up into
words. [ accepted this as hypothesis
and noted that E was represented by r.
'But now came the real difficulty Of
the inquiry. The order of the English
letters after e is by no means well
marked, and any preponderance which
may be shown in an average Of a
printed sheet may be reversed in sin
gle short sentence. Speaking roughly,
T, A, o, I, n, S, H, r, D and L are the
numerical order in which these letters
occur but T, A, o and l are very near
ly abreast of each other, and it would
be an endless task to try each combi
nation until a meaning was arrived at.
I therefore waited for fresh material.
In my second interview with Mr.. Hill
ton Cubitt he was able to give me two
other short sentences and one message,
which appeared, since there was no
flag, to be single word. Here are the
symbols. Now, in the single word I
have already got the two Els coming
second and fourth in a word Of five let
ters 1t might be sever or lever or
never There can be no question
that the latter as a reply to an appeal
is far the most probable, and the cir
cumstances pointed to it's being a reply
written by the lady. Accepting it as
correct, we are now able to say that
