VASHON HEIGHTS

Cowley, of Seattle, daughter
Sunday, August %, 1913.
A judicious application of paint
has added materially to the ap'
pearance of II. Lindley's prop
erty.
Mr.. Cowan has been a resident
OF the Island for about twelve
years, and at the North End nine
years.
Mrs. Holland Of Seattle, a sister
Of Mrs. j. A. Corbin, has been the

Mr.. and Mrs. Conrad Tjoms-
land, Donny and Naomi, and Mr..

School will begin next Tuesday,
September 3, and all the children
at the North End are anxious TO
ride in the new auto bus. 1t will
accommodate twenty-five people.
Safety will be the motto. The
door is in the front, like on a
street ear and cannot be opened
until the driver stops. 1t will

and the school building at four in
the afternoon.
The driver will be under the

ed TO the same discipline as at
school.
We regret = and all the resi-
dents of the North End will join
me--to learn that Mr.. A. ID. Co
wan and family are moving TO
Seattle for the winter. We hope
this is not the forerunner for a
permanent residence away from
Vashon Island. There isn't an.
other man on the Island that has
done as much for its upbuilding
as A. ID. Cowan, and his influence
and good cheer will be missed
when a new project is on.
Geo. S. Bonnell received the fol
lowing letter from Craig Cowley,
who is at the front in France. He
is member of Company +, 1l7th
Engineers Every resident at the
North End knows Craig and will
be interested to know that he is
well. We learn, however, that

look at the matter in a different
light.
