thing of ''iire-eater" at times, but as
rule is temperate liz speech and mild
in manner. Adequate and up-to-date
and direct transportation from both
north and south ends of the Island, by
ferry, to Seattle and Tacoma, is cry
ing need and the demands for imme-
date action are becoming more and
more insistent. While residents along
the Quartermaster route may have n
little the best of the argument in their
present controversy over the service,
the fact remains that as compared with
the east side of the Island on the Sc
attic route they have had splendid serv-
ice. And the fare has been just one
half. Cove, of course, should have a
new road to the dock.

Gen. Otis lived to ripe age and had

he courted opposition and because of
his intolerance, especially with the
