Editor vashon Island Record.
Dear sir:-As you know. for several
years, have represented many of the
ranchers on vashon Island as their
attorney and have endeayored to see
conditions on the Island improved and
some need of justice obtained from the
County officers with respect to less
ening the assessment of taxation on
the Island, getting improved roads and
getting adequate transportation par.
ticularly ferries.
For two years past have owned a
small ranch on the Island, myself. and
am vitality interested in these matters.
There are only three things the resi-
dents of the Island can expect from
the County officers: less taxation. good
roads and good transportation to the
Island. Therefore, the Offices of Coun-
ty Commissioners and Assessor are
vitality important and the people of
the Island should, as near as possible,
vote soIidly as a unit to relieve the
very bad conditions existing at the

office of County Commissioner from the South

If elected, there will be quick end to road

International Secretary and Treasurer

Chicago, Feb -12.-William D. Hay wood, international secretary and treasurer of the 1. W. w., who, with 165 other members of the organization, was. indicted by a federal grand jury on charge of conspiracy and sedi- ton, was released on bonds of $15;000 today. Federal Judge, Landis reduced the amount of the bail from s25 900 to $15000, despite the protest of District Attorney Clyne and Frank K. Nebeker, special assistant United States attor- ney.
 This man does not want. his free dom, he is holding himself out, as a martyr" said MT. Nebeker.
 In pleading for the release of Hay wood, Attorney George, F. Vandever said:
 'The freedom of Bill Haywood, re- garded as hero by his fellow mem bers, will relieve a certain tenSion. It has been felt by various of the l. W. W. members and sympathizers throughout the country that justice has not been done This Your Honor is not intended as threat" As soon as released from custody, Haywood went to his office on the West Side, where he was greeted by a score of friends. ',
 ''No. won't say anything now" he said to questioners. Perhaps in a few days may care to say something Of course I am glad to be free again have been locked up since last Sep tenber.' The sureties. on. Haywood's bond were William Bross Lloyd, a lawyer; Jacob Grunning and his wife, and George W. Kohler.

TRAPSHooTlNG AIDS IN
 CONSERVATION OF GAME.

A leader in the movement for a ra- tional conservation of bird and other game life was discussing his hobby at the recent shoot, and in the course of his remarks said:
 Where there is game still to be had ;. trapshooting will keep hunters in trim for field work. To many young men the sport affords the only means of their becoming skilled with the gun, for the lack of game in thickly popu- lated districts removes the oppor- tunity for the necessary practice With the increasing stringency of game laws. shooting with slotguns would in many sections needs become virtually a lost are were it not for trapsf1ooting.
 True, the sport does not appeal to the game hog-he who is responsible for the almost complete depopulation of our fields and forests. But trap | shootoing does appeal to the real sportsman, to whose ears the crack of a gun is music.
 Some one has apt1y said, "a sufti- cient number of trapshooting clubs in
 state is better than the best game
 law
 I Thee truth of this is proved by the 1 fact that many trapshoodng clubs
 constitute themselves game protective
 organizations, and at the same time
 offer an acceptable substitute for hunting"
