1t would not be bad suggestion to
delay the opening OF school for
month to give the farmers chance to
use the children to help gather their
crops. We know of twelve acres of
potatoes in this vicinity that should be
harvested in September, and the boys
and girls would be big help in gath
ering them.
There is some anxiety in this section
in regard to the boat service after Sep
TENDER l. 1t is dawning on them what
huge joke the ferry will be if we
have TO depend on it to get to Seattle.
The Mcdowell steamboat company
could forestall positive ferry ut the
North end by making two-hour SER
vice from Vashon Heights and use the
Dart to make the o'clock run. 1t is
unne cessary to say anything more
about the deplorable mistake of locat-
ing the ferry where it is; SO let us
wade out some way. But ninety per
cent of the trouble will not happen.
Some complaint has been made be-
cause of our advocating the south end
road and the rebuilding of the Cove
road before anything more is done at
the north end. We all know that
there isn't any work done on the roads
except what is actually necessary, and
when the new appropriation ismade it
is clear to man up a tree that the
most important improvement on the
Island are those mentioned above.
We are blessed with an excellent road
boss at this end, and he has done good
work and we can wait until some other
Jobs are completed.
