FIRST FERRY BATTLE
WAS WON TUESDAY
Commissioners Unanimously Reject All Bids
and Will Continue to Run Boats

already has it's coat off for the
fray. 1t is the Oldest run on the
island. Maybe it doesn't pay ex-
pcnses, but there is a way out.
Eliminate all unnecessary eX-
pense in its operation and raise
the rates of both passenger and
auto transportation until it will
make expenses. And we doubt if
it will be necessary to raise the
rates. She is a good boat, the
docks are in good shape, and the
island is growing. Next season
she'll make her own way.
Here is food for thought the
)nly boat that shows a net profit
last month is the Washington. and
she is now running at approx
mately her normal patronage, and
the Portage boat is taken off,
what will the island do to get to
md from Seattle? The Washing
,on won't carry the traffic next
summer, that's sure. If the Port
agc boat is taken off, much Of the
traffic that now goes to Seattle
will go to Tacoma via the Burton
boat or the Tahlcquah ferry. 1t
would be a good thing for Tacoma
20 take off the Portage ferry but
a bad thing for Seattle. Property
owners on either of the islands
should bear in mind the simple
fact that transportation always
builds up community. If you
want our property to increase in
value, talk for the Portage ferry.
If you are rich enough, and don t
want any more folks over here to
enjoy our islands, tall < against it.
Meanwhile the commissioners
will not forget that Auburn, Kent
and Des Moines are all in King
county-and Auburn, Kent and
Des Moines all want the Portage
ferry continued. AT THE EI!EC-

AN INVALUABLE RECIPE

Home brew, its qualities and
how to make it, is one Of the
things that worries the mind OF
many a person, and for the benefit
of those who have not been en-
lightened on the subject we pub
lish the following recipe when
has been invented (?) by one OF
our ,nl sports: Chase frog
three miles and gather up the
hops; to the hops add the follow,

pint shcllac, a bar of home made
soap; boil mixture Sc hours, then

A SERIOUS CASE

One of our members, possessed
of a keen sense of humor, be-
lieves the following clipping
worth publishing, and there have
been times, we believe, when other
printers have had the same in,

Worth, in the printing business
got slightly peeved at letter
from a doctor who wanted bids on
several thousand letterheads, diff,
erent sizes, different grades and
different colors, and wanted the
printing form held standing, SC

Shake! The light made by
VasLon Maury folks against leas-
ing the King county ferries, and
particularly the changing Of the

80 from Vashon-Maury island.
There Icre also representatives
there from dozen different sec

rieties of recommendation. The
three epokesmen for Vashon is
land were the only ones who had a
clear-c' Nlan. They all argued
for tie same thing-namely, to
continue the present ferry regime
without change. Alex Stewart.
James +. Chambers and p. Mon
roe Smock all plead for one thing
only-that all bids be rejected,
that the county continue to run
the ferries, and that the present
rates, schedules, and Landing
points be maintained.
Yesterday, August 3Oth, by
unanimous voice the commission
ers rejected all bids, and agree to
continue to run the boats them
selves as before. This is ire
mendous victory for the island.
But eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty, and there is still wonS
to be performed.

ORDER BLASTING
POWDER NOW

The government blasting pow
der (picric acid) which is being
distributed through the county
agricultural agents, can be OBJ
tanned in King county for about
l312c per pound.
This explosive comes in 6 ounce
sticks packed in 100 pound boxes.
No person or firm can get more
than 1000 pounds. County Agent
A. B. Nystrom is receiving tenta-
tive orders for this and as soon as
orders for a carload are in sight
the formal application blanks will
be sent to all who wish to get
some Of the powder.
Any person familiar with 1919
dynamite can use this picric acid.
The only difference being that it
takes a No. s instead of No. 6
cap to explode it.
Drop a card to the address be-
low, stating how much you will
need. 1t is likely that the order
viii be placed the middle of Sep
tember. The carload will very
likely be shipped to Renton or
some other centrally located place
and be distributed from there.
