Everyone eligible in this section re-
ported for duty on Tuesday and they

Mr.. and Mrs Hill and family OF Sc
attic are installed for the summer in
their cottage at the Heights.
Mr.. and Mrs. Woodland, residents OF
Seattle, have come to stay for the sum
mer at their delightful home AT the
Heights.
MIR. and Mrs. Albert Pinkham at
tended the Pioneers Association"
meeting in Seattle this week. They
have been residents of Seattle and vi
entity 50 years.
We are convinced at this time that
Geo. Z. Thompson, Portage, May ~"
is a near relative of the man in lndi-
ana who, whenever he opened his
mouth, always put his foot in it.
Mrs. f. w. West met with pain
full though not serious, accident last

home and dislocated bone in her left

nicely ;Sd will be over the worst in a
few days.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smiths two daughters
came home from North Yakima last
Saturday. They have been attending
school there Mr.. and Mrs. Smith are
our new neighbors, living on part OF
Mr.. Cowboys place.
We learn that residents near Cove
are enthusiastic over a piece of road
in that section. the work of Mr.. Field.
We also understand that the new sys-
TEN of doing the work is giving salts
faction all over the Island. The North
End is sure pleased with Mr. Field.
Vernon Packard, of Rogers Park,
near Chicago, has been visitor for a
few DAYS at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Glen Morgan. Mr.. Packard is a cousin
of Mrs. Morgan. He has just com
pleted his college year at the univer,
sity of Wisconsin and reports that the
faculty does not expect more than
per cent of the students to return
next year: the rest will 90 to some
where in France
The most interesting items in oul
Judgment, in last weeks Record were
those in regard to the cannery. Every
resident on the Island is interested in
the cannery. and will read with in
terest any news from that growing in
stitution Every grower Of fruit ant
vegetables realizes that the cannery Is
his salvation when it comes to market
ing his produce.
All who transacted business at the
cannery last year will be pleased tC
learn that Jack Leonard and V. a
Simpson will be in charge again thi
year. And everybody liked Tom Stef
fenson and regret that he is not Will
them. Newcomers will find LeonarC
and Simpson always agreeable anl
pleasant, and that goes good way il
getting customer to return.
In Justice to Mr.. kingsbury. thu
efficient road boss in the south section
of the Island and of Maury; also il
Justice to the county commissioners
we desire to correct the impression
that the commissioners had presente,
Mr.. Kingsbury new auto. This is
mistake The report started from tn
'clinchingn argument made by Geo I
OF Portage FOR keeping the ferry a
that point. The new jitneyn he men
toned belongs to son of Road Bos
Kingsbury and is for hire when tn
ovERoRowpED ferry arrives.
There is quite rivalry among tn
children at the Heights in their effort
at gardening. The writer has bee
"obsorvingn few, and is compelled t
say that the honors up to date belon
to John Corbin, a youth who passe
his ninth birthday on Memorial Day
His garden scores sc" Just as he di
in school last year.
Travel is brisk nowadays. 1t is re
markable how many people go an
come from the Heights. We are re
minded OF the Oakland ferry at Sa
Francisco. Beautiful vashon Height
is becoming widely known. My, W
wish Geo 7. lived in this section. Hi
argument is the only thing that keep
us from getting the ferry. BY tn
