INPRESSES BOARD
County Commissioners In
spect Dockton-MiIeta
Road Wednesday

The board of King county com
Imissioners, composed of VIM. A.
Gaines, chairman, Frank H. Paul
and Thos. Dobson, visited the is
land Wednesday and spent sever
al hours going over the Dockton-
Mileta road, with view of re-
considering the action unfavorable
to the establishment of a perman-
cnt highway. A committee of
Dockton citizens took them over
the highland road as surveyed by
the county engineer, and then ov-
er the waterfront route, the latter
trip having been made by boat.
The commissioners are reported
to have expressed surprise that the
engineer should have made the es-
innate of $4,000 on this mile and
three-quarters stretch. A. j.
'Stuckey, well known Dockton
ship builder, who made the offer
before the commissioners to build
it for half the estimate, was mem
Der of the party, and renewed his
offer.
The Dockton people We're posi-
tive in their statements that if
they cannot have the waterfront
road they do not want any. While
the commissioners did not com
NIT themselves. it is believed that
Messrs. Gaines and Dobson will
see fit to fall in line with Mr.. Paul
and grant the highway.

SHINN OPENS CAMPAIGN
FOR COMMISSIONER IN CITY

w illldln 81. Snlnn calQludle lOl.
commissioner for the south port
district, opened his campaign for
that office at Seattle on Wednes-
day noon of this week, appearing
at a luncheon given by the Young
Mems Republican club of King
county at the Darl1nell cafeteria.
Mr.. Shinn was greeted with en-
thusiasm, and judging from the
he received, presented his
case most forcibly, Mr.. Shinn
said in part:
"Do you want more taxes? That
is the question that is before us to-
day. That is the question You will
have to answer the second Tues
day in May, and it is a mighty
important question,
EDO you want more taxes? The
answer given at the polls will have
a very great influence on the pros
perity Of the port of Seattle, the
prosperity of the people of Seat
tie and the prosperity of the peo-
pie of King county.
81 am interested like yourselves
in the answer to this question.
Because Of my stand on these
propositions and the principle in
volved I have been nominated by
a thousand taxpayers of the south
district for the office of port com
missioner. | am opposed to any
further purchase of waterfront
property, or the selling of any
more bonds until the properties
of the port are put on a self-sus-
tanning basis and the terminals are
used to near their full capacity. I
am opposed to the purchase of the
Skinner & Eddy site, to PROPOSE
tions A and B. / believe that poll
tics should be barred and business
methods used in the management
of the port affairs. The commits
sion should be composed of men of
extended business experience. |
was nominated by the heavy tax
payers of the South district who
believed | had the necessary quail
fcations. When elected it will be
my endeavor to see that the port
gets 100 cents worth of service, Or
100 cents worth of supplies for
every dollar paid for salaries or
supplies.
~ have lived at Kent for forty
years; have been engaged in real
estate, farming and banking, and
may | say nat unsuccessfully. As
to my being square shooter, ask
any of my neighbors.
"The fact is, we have port fa-
cilities enough to handle twice the
tonnage coming to us. And half
idle terminals are not a good adj
yertisement.
We do not want to be at odds
with the port commission-we
want to work in harmony and at
tract more ships and more cargo
incoming and outgoing 10 the end
that the present faeilitics may be
made to pay, as they can when
properly handled. "

Griffin like this:
what is it you think you eat
or drink which poisons you?
Speak up like a man"
'SWell, Doc" Mr.. Griffin says,
