The name County Road" has
been changed to State Road, y
because the state has entire super
vision of the old county road from
now ON.
The dock at Cowley's landing
has been rebuilt and is now one Of
the best connected with Vashon
Island. The old dock was partly
destroyed by the wind several
months ago. The cost of the new
one was about two thousand dol
lars. (
w. M. Cowley is beautifying
his property by placing ornamcn-
tai shrubs along the fence ada
