COMMERCIAL CLUB
DECIDES TO HOLD
ANNUAL FESTIVAL
To be Held at Elisport
Date Fixed Later
Hotel Ellisport rendered For
Meeting Of Club

The regular meeting of the
Vashon- Maury Commercial Club,
at Ellisport, Friday evening, was
well attended, the gentler sex
in particular being in evidence
during the business session, in
which they manifested much in
terest.
Mr.. Barham, chairman of the
baseball committee, reported pro
gress and assured the club there
was good material on the Island
for an AL team. A vacant tract
adjoining Center school was sug
gested as a convenient and
available location for a ball park
and possibly other attractions.
The question of holding a
strawberry festival was one in
which all were interested and
called for some discussion. The
motion to hold this annual com
munity gathering in June car
ried. Details were referred to
a committee with G. F. VanOlin-
da in charge. The date of hold
ing the festival was left for the
chair to decide later. Ellisport
was selected as the place for
holding the festival on account
of transportation facilities.
President Collins spoke brief
ly on the prospect of the Islands
securing shipbuilding plants, a
letter in this connection from r.
H. Mattison, of the Industrial
Sites Committee of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce, being
read. Messrs. Hansen, Barham
and Sherman were named a com
mittee to investigate available
sites on the Islands.
The resignation of President
Collins was read, and it being
the final" word, as he announc-
ed, a nominating committee,
composed of Messrs. Parkes,
Steen and VanOlinda, was
named, same to report at next
regular meeting.
As guests of Hotel Ellisport
the Club was indeed fortunate,
the spacious rooms being at the
disposal of the large company,
some of whom, at the close OF
the business session, enjoyed
tripping the light fantastic, y
while others surrounded the card
tables or just visited" until the

the first meeting in the fall the
president will appoint commit
tees and the work of the associa-
tion will begin again in earnest.
The entertainment given by
the grammar school last Friday
evening, May 4, was very fine
and showed plainly that much
thorough training had been done.
The tableaux by the seventh'and
eighth grade pupils were patriot
ic and we'll executed. The parts
in the Operetta, Hans and Gre
tel, :, were all so well carried out
that it is hard to say who did the
best. Hans, Gretel, Mother and
Father, are worthy of especial
mention because they spoke so
very distinctly, everyone in the
auditorium could hear. The old
witch of Elfenstein looked the
part, and the Dutch Children, p"
with their wooden shoes, did
well in their dancing. The Gold
Fence Children" in their cos
tunes of golden colors, looked
very pretty and dainty. The
music of the evening was fur
nished by Hopper & Kelley of
Tacoma, who rendered some
very pleasing selections on the
phonograph.

The Tacoma Ledger of April 18th
contained thrilling account of how
a frail little woman, at the risk of
her life, stopped runaway team at
Hyada Park dock, Browns Point.
While waiting for boat to Tacoma,
the lady heard the runaways coming
down the hill toward the dock. She
left the waiting room and springing
toward the nearest horse succeeded in
grasping the bit and with soothing
words brought the frightened animals
to a standstill after being dragged to
within two feet of the edge of the
dock. The brave little woman is the
wife of Robert Mcdowell, engineer on
the steamer Daring.
