Another Rock Well

w. R. Garrett returned Wednes-
day from trip TO Seattle. He was
greatly delighted to find that the
Walrod wen-drilling machine had
struck an apparently abundant flow
of water on his place in the Nichols
addition at depth Of thirty-two feet,
of which less than thirteen feet is in
rock. The machine began drilling

day. and stopped before noon on the
9th. Mr.. Walrod began work Thurs
day on well for Gene G. Gould, on
the hill above the P. A. F. cannery,
where the formation is apparently all
rock. Some of the rock encountered
in the Garrett well was nearly as hard
as flint. Mr.. Gould and his family viii
occupy his fathers cottage while the
drilling is ia progress.

Important Real Estate Sale

One of the most important real es-
tate transactions which has taken
place here for a long time was con
cluded the first of the week when
James Harwood, who recently ar
rived here from Hillsboro, Oregon,
and his cousin, A. Stoliker, purchas-
ed from Mrs. Ross so 100 feet on
the northeast corner of First and
Spring streets, now occupied by
Fowle's store, portion of Mr.. Stoli-
ker's barber shop and large barn.
The consideration is not matter OF
record but it is reported to be in the
neighborhood of $4,000. It is one OF
the best business locations in town.
Mr.. Harwood also purchased the liv-
cry business Of Fred Lightheart. Mr..
Stoliker will build new barber shop

Among the vic TINS of the terrible
wreck on the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad, near Adobe, Colorado, on
the 10Th of March, were six members
of the family of Taylor Hewitt, in
cluding himself and wife, who were
enroute to this state from their for
mer home at Lebo, Kansas, intending
to locate somewhere on Puget Sound.
Hr. Hewitt was an uncle of G. L.
Palmateer, of this place, who had re-
ceived a letter a few days before stat
ing that the family would start in
about a week. Mr. Palmateer says
that there were nine members of the
family. Six are accounted for in the
list Of dead and two were reported
to be in a hospital badly injured.
Twenty-Five persons are reported to
have been killed and twenty-five in
iured. Only seven Of the dead were
identified from the remains, the 9TH
ers being known by reason OF their
charred bones being found where the
individuals would have been when the
collision took place.

The ISLANDER is pleased to be
- able to report that there is lit
tie doubt that the marine biological
work OF the state university we'll be
continued here this season. It is
simply question of securing the
necessary accommodations. If, for
any reason, the buildings used last
year cannot be secured, the people
should see to it that other suitable
quarters are provided, even if it be-
comes necessary to erect a building
for the purpose in some desirable To-
cation. The scientific work already
done here by the university has at
tracted much attention to our beau.
tiful county, and if the plans of those
to whom we are most indebted for
the beginning made are carried out
permanent station will be establish
ed which will become noted in the
scientific world and will attract te
our lovely archipelago large numbers
of scientific students, educators ano
pleasure seekers from all parts OF the
United States. In a letter to the ed
itor, Prof. 7. G. Frye, of the State
University, writes:
= .:ol
this year; that is settled. I do not know
yet jus where. but probably at Friday
Harbor. We have not heard from Mr.
Deming concerning the cannery. If We
can get it we will be with you; if not
can't say what will be done. Prof. Kin
caid will have charge OF the geological
work. He has spent year at Harvard
and will return just in time for this. DR.
Bruce Fisk. professor of botany in lows
College, Grinnell, Iowa. will have charge
of the botany. Dr.fisk is an energetic
and enthusiastic worker and perhaps the
best botanist in his state, except one. He
is the best authority on lichens in North
America and expects to make collection

STATE WILL BUY
THE BOND ISSUE
OFFERS TO TAKE THE BONDS AT
FOUR PER CENT INTEREST
County May Redeem One or More
Bonds at Any Time After One Year
--John L. Murray Expresses Re-
gret That Of Friday
Harbor Is Opposed.
.OHN L. MURRAY returned
from Olympia Wednesday. Ills

1OHN L. MURRAY returned
from Olympia Wednesday. Ilis
family will join him here as soon as
possible after the present school year
closes there. He is much elated over
the result Of the court house election
and says that the ISLANDER can in
form its readers that he was told at
the state land commissioners office
that the state will take the bonds at
four, per cent interest, giving the
county the privilege OF redeeming
any one or more of them at any time
after one year. If it is necessary to
borrow the full amount authorized
the maximum annual interest charge
will be only $500, which amount will
gradually decrease as payments are
made on the principal. And it should
be borne in mind that the amount
paid in interest will not be lost to the
taxpayers but will accrue to their
benefit in the best way possible, as
all such payments 60 into the fund
for the maintenance of the public
schools, from which this county annu-
ally draws a considerably larger
amount than it pays in school taxes.
Mr.. Murray, like many others, ex-
presses regret that SO many resi-
dents of Friday Harbor have gone on
record, at the dictation Of non-resi-
dent property owners, as being op-
posed to the incorporation Of the
town. Having lived for several years
where the people have the advan-
tages of such putlic utilities as water
works, sewers, electric lights, fire
protection and the right to control
their own local affairs and make pub
lie improvements through an eQui-
table system of taxation, Mr., Murray
agrees fully with the ISLANDER that
these important adjuncts of modern
civilization must come before Friday
Harbor emerges from the condition
of rambling country village and be-
comes town to which the people Of
the county can well point with pride.
It may be years before such q result
is accomplished, but it will come with
the influx Of new people and through
the gradual change which time must
surely work in local public sentiment.

A BALLOON RAILROAD.

There has recently been invented and put into operation in the noun
 tains near SaIzburg, Germany. a bal
 loon railroad. It consists of a station ary balloon, which is fastened to q slide running along a single steel rail. The rail is fastened to the side of a steep mountain, which ordinary rail- roads could not climb, except through deep cuts and tunnels. The balloon hoots about 35 feet over the groundy and heavy steel cable connects it with the rail. The conductor can at will make the balloon slide up and down the side of the mountain. For going up the motive power is furnished by hydrogen gas, while the descent Is caused by pressure of water, which is poured into a large tank at the upper end of the road, and which serves as ballast Suspended from the balloon IS a circular car with accommodations for ten passengers. The cable goes from the bottom of the balloon through the center of the car to a reg ulator of speed, which is controlled bv the conductor.-Harper's Weekly.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

When we entered into an arrange ment between ourselves as to the de- | livery of ice. we had no other end in view than to reduce the expense in cident upon a double set of delivery teams, resulting in lessening the price of ice to our customers, as well as an economic saving to ourselves. Our motives have been misconstrued and our actions misrepresented. We do not wish to be regarded by our patrons as cOnspirators, or as having entered into an arrangement in restraint of trade to the detriment of the rights of citizens with whom it is our interest to deal.
 Legal advisers have assured us that there has been no transgression of the statute in effect; we know there has been none in intention.
 Rather than further pursue our busi- ness with our customers fearing the existence of an arrangement between us unfair to them, we prefer that none longer continue
 Hence we publish the following notice:
