OPENING DAY GREAT
EVENT FOR ISLAND
Thousands People Celebrate
Opening Of Ferry at Clam
Cove "Tahlequah"

The sun seemed to rise little
brighter than usual last Saturday
morning, but perhaps it was the
smile of gladness which filed the
hearts of Vashon-Ma Island
people over the formal opening
of the south end ferry on that
day. Everybody seemed happy
and everybody seemed to be "on
hand" Pedestrians, carriages,
automobiles, and others astride
horses were lined up ready for
the trip to carry the crowd over
the Sound for Tacoma s big well
come.
About 300 from Tacoma came
over on the ferry to witness the
brief but impressive ceremonies
on this side the Sound. Mayor
C. M. Riddell of Tacoma was pres
ented and made brief talk, at
the close of which he handed a
fifty dollar check to the prize
winner for the new name of the
ferry landing. The winner was
a charming Vashon Island girl,
Miss Ethel Whitfield of Burton.
The name she selected was "Tah-
leqah" from the Oklahoma indian
name, meaning water view"
Thus Miss Whitfield has endowed
the new landing with an appro-
pirate name, and clam cove be-
comes "Tahlequah."
After the Vashon Island folks
had been transported to the other
shore, number of pictures of the
crowd was taken, after which all
reached the Tacoma Commercial
Club rooms to enjoy the big eats
as supplied by the Tacoma people,
without money and without
price" More than 100 cars were
in the parade and each car had
a pennant, badge, or banner an
nouncing lot of facts about the
Island. Some of the most fitting
banners read" Islanders live on
fried chicken and strawberries
with cream" ''Vashon Island is
cool in summer and warm in wint-
er-try it. "This island will pro-
duce one egg each day for every
person in Tacoma. 900 miles
of good roads on Vashon-still
more to follow"
At the club rooms many short,
snappy speeches were made
from the mayor down to the edit
or of this paper. The closing part
of the toast of the News Record
man was an original poem which
may be found on the first page
of this issue. Those participating
in the speech making were Ira
Case, M. f. Shaw, James R.
O'Farrell, w. II. Paulhamus,
James Mccormick, and Mayor
Riddell. The ferry will make two
round trips to Tacoma each day
and the Communication fare will be
five cents per individual. The
complete schedule will be found
in another column.
The expense of this big achieve
ment was generally divided
King county gave $500, Vashon-
Maury Island people contributed
literally, the Tacoma folks gave
several thousand dollars, and
Pierce County furnished the boat.
With ferry from the north to
Seattle and one on the south to
Tacoma, the Island unites two of
Washington's biggest cities, and
it will mean much for both cities
and the Island folks as well.
