Are We to Get An
Increased Mail Service

Mr.. Frank H. Rice. from Washing
ton, assistant superintendent of the
railway mail service, was in town a
short time Saturday on his way back
to Seattle from making his invastiga-
tlon OF the mail route situation in
this county. He spent Thursday
night at Rosario as the guest of Mr..
Robert Moran, and Friday night at
Roche Harbor where he went to CON
fer with Hon. John S. McMillin.
who. as president of the Tacoma &
Roche Harbor Lime Co., is much in
terested in securing daily steam
boat mail service both to and from
Seattle and Bellingham and who is
naturally and properly active in his
efforts to obtain such service.
Mr.. Rice said that he found little
complaint among business men against
the present service. which be seemed
to regard as adequate. except in some
minor details easily remedied without
involving any radical changes in
routes or schedules. He admitted
that Roche Harbor and Richardson
have some just cause for complaint
and also that daily through service
to and from Seattle and Bellingham
would he highly desirable and advan-
tageous from the view point of the
people of the islands But he did mt
seem to think it incumb bent upon the
government to do more than provide
the people with daily mail. which has
been done at most points in the coun-
ty for years He says the postal
deficit for the current fiscal year will
be about SIT. 100000 and naturally
the department opposes changes in
service that involve very material in
crease in expense.
1t is estimated that il the Belling-
ham Anacortes route. nov served by
the steamer islander, we're to be. dis
continued and the Seattle Bellingham
service doubled. with Doe Bay and
Urban added and Friday Harbor-
Anacortes route established to serve
Port Stanley, Thatcher and Decatur.
the cost would be about double the
cost of the present service. But even
it it were. it would not be much, If
any. more than the government paid
for the greatly inferior service which
the islands had fifteen to twenty years
ago. when the steamer Evangel car
ried the nail between Port Townsend
and the Bellingham bay towns and
made only one trip week through
to Seattle.
Steamboat men say that the present
tri-weekly Seattle service is all that
and freight business justi-
fies and it is even asserted that it IL
at loss during the win
ter months. Whether this statement
is true or not it may serve to prepare
Uncle Sam to bear up bravely. if not
under the shock of a large
bid if proposals for daily service are
sailed for. In the meantime let Us
rive all the aid we can to those who
ire working with this end in view.
From the governments standpoint it
seems to be simply question of cost

FIVE ALDERMEN

Retiring Members of the City
Council Announce Their
Candidates..
LAWLER is THE EXCEPTION
BIochlinger Will Likely Have Little
Opposition in First-Carse to
Have Primary Rivals.

The following members of the city
council, whose terms expire this
spring, have announced that they will
be candidates for reelection:
First ward-Frank Blochlinger,

Second ward-John Carse, republi-
can.

democrat.
Fifth ward-George L. Schmid, re-
publican
Seventh ward-J. E. Ellinwooo, re

Frank Lawler, the democratic alder
man from the Sixth ward, who has
been one of the most able members
of the present council, does not de-
sire to stand again as a candidate,
though he has been pressed by his
friends in the ward, irrespective of
politics, to do so.
VIII Return BIOchIInger.
1t is not believed Mr.. Blochlinger
will have any opposition in the First
ward, although, for the sake of appear
ances, the republicans may induce one
of their number to accept a nomina-
ton. In the Second the democrats
will have a candidate against John
Carse. He will also have rivalry in
his own political camp, Frank Evans
and Charles Oberg having already
SHE'D their castors into the ring. In
the Third ward there has been a va
cancy since c. ]. Smith was elected
to the police magistracy. S. A. LaVan-
way, democrat, is the holdover mem
Der from that ward. w. G. Maucker
is discussed as the candidate of the
democrats. In the Fourth ward.
Charles L. Thompson has made an
excellent record, and doubtless will
not be disturbed c. P. McQuaid IS
discussed as the democratic candidate
in the Fifth against Mr.. Schmid. w.
c. Cochran, democrat, is the holdover
in that ward In the Sixth Martin
McNealy, republican. has another year
to serve. The democrats and repub-
Iicans will both have candidates in the
field to succeed Mr.. Lawler.

City Chat
YOU MUST HAVE A PURPOSE.

You must have a purpose both certain
and sure
That ne'er can be altered, whatever
men do,
If you in life's struggle the most would
secure
In the line of endeavor you choose
to pursue.
A purposeless effort will nothing
avail;
You must e'er have in view the
great end you gain;
And he without strength to the finish
will fail.
And find life a burden and labor but
pain.
The man who would climb to the high
mountains top,
His prospect of winning most woe
fully mars
If he in his effort shall falter and
stop
When the sun shines not forth, or if
hid are the stars.
The. sailor whose ship has put out
from the land,
Though rough be the weather, and
changing the wind,
At the wheel, with his eye on the COM
pass, must stand
With naught but the harbor he
seeks in his mind.
The soldier who fights never thinks
of defeat;
The fellow who doubts is the cow
ard who fees;
But the hero undaunted the foeman
will meet
While the flag of his country is all
that he sees.
In laying your plans, summon all of
your skill:
And, when. you your efforts in ear
nest begin,
Add the strength of your hands to the
force of your will,
And whate'er you desire you most
surely will win.
