there are several good sized green
houses located at Burton and Vi
entity. The summer visitors form
a very considerable body Of con
sumers for the varied products,
and one of the great attractions o
the place is the fact that these sup
plies are grown almost at the con-
sumer's back door, and reach him
in excellent condition and at mod
crate prices.
To the summer visitor, also, the
pleasures of the sea cannot be ov-
erwritten. Around four miles of
beaches and shore line, yachting
boating, canoeing and bathing can
be daily enjoyed. Fishing, too, is
good, and often successful, sue
cess being dependent on and rela-
tive to the temperament of the
fisherman. All sorts of fish stories
are told and some of them are be-
lieved, varing from the man who

HOW VASHON AND MAURY

The Washington State Histori-

Vashon island was discovered in
Nav 1892 bv Capt George Van
couvcr, and was named after his
friend, Cantain James Vashon

still stands. In the same contest
Mrs. w. ID. Covington's pen of
five birds won fifth place with a
record of 1894 eggs.
Mr.. Gilbert sold his winning pen
to a Seattle concern for $4,000,
thereby establishing a record price
for a pen of five birds.
In the 1923 egg-laymg contest
at the same station e. c. Park of
Vashon island took fifth place
his pen laying 1852 eggs.
There are about II producing
greenhouses OH the island, having
total area of 330,257 square feet
of glass with 16,040 more square
feet under construction. The Iarg
est of these greenhouses is that of
the Beall company at Vashon with
about three acres under glass.
The annual production Of these
several establishments is as fol
lows:
Roses, 10000; chrysaathe;aams,
10000; fressias, 250,000; ger
aniums, 5000; Easter lilies, ! 500
more maiden hair fern than all the
rest OF the greenhouses Of the
Northwest combined; cycla nenS.
5000. cucumbers, $500 dozen
tomatoes, 10000 pounds, and leaf
lettuce, 5000 pounds.
Probably no where in the North
west is there place where berries
can be grown to a better advant-
age. Vashon island is the ideal
home of the logan berry, the black
berry and the raspberry. The
soil is admirably adapted to berry
culture and when coupled with the
splendid climate, it makes the is
land among the best favored for
this industry.
The Vashon Marketing associa-
ton, a newly organized co-opera-
tive association, made an excellent
showing last year. 1t marketed
$63,3S6 worth of berries and cher
ries for its members during the
season as follows:

such, long since devourcd by long
abandoned sawmills, Here is IA
sample of scenic conditions, such
as can be found in but one or two
places ON the islands today, as
they were found by the early
h0mesteadcrs before Washington
became state.
To the north Burton reaches out
as far as Judd creek and includes
Newport Beach, where is located 4
fine group Of cottages, occupied
mostly in the summer only but
with a few regular residents. 10
the westward the town extends as
far as you like, the limit being
the shore Of the West passage.
Here at Burton may be found
two classes Of people. The regu-
lar inhabitants, who occupy more
or less Of the land described and
who follow the varied pursuits OF
diversified farming life, and its
allied businesses. And secondly
the summer residents and visitors
who turn up about the first Of
June, from the dust and heat OF
the cities, or from across the
mountains, and inquire if the
weather is not rather cool for the
time of year. They occupy the
numerous cottages along the
beaches, or erect their tents in
favorabel places and just camp"
They find in a summer of eTper-

fence at Burton that while the
temperature is sometimes high in
the day, it is never sultry and is
always pleasant and the nights al
ways cool. In passing, the whit
ers, too, can well be described as
mild. Sometimes cold and often
rainy, it is mostly fine, with but
little winter weather.
Berry and fruit growing and
poultry production form the chief
agricultural activities, although

the steamer landing on the south
side brings one along the main
thoroughfare to the shores Of the
inner harbor, lying a little to the
north.
Tacoma is eight miles from
Burton by steamer, and some
what farther by ferry. Many in
Tacoma would no doubt be sur

the annual production is between
$l50,000 and $4,000 from this
source.
Next in line as to value and
amount is apples Vashon island
apples equal in many instances the
best grown east Of the mountains,
Vashon island apples took second
and third prizes in the Northwest
Fruit show in December, 1929.
They are inferior to be the best
only in the matter Of coloring
Vashon island produces some 30,
600 boxes of prime fruit yearly,
This year they are valued at about
IS cents a box on an average be-
cause Of the prevalent low prices
on this commodity.
Vashon island pears took first
prizes at the fruit show in compe-
tition with those from Yakima and
Wenatchee valleys. The produc-
ton is small as yet as several good
sized commercial orchards are Just
coming into bearing. This year it
was some 5000 boxes.
Pruncs do exceedingly well on
the island and upwards Of 100 tons
are produced ON an average.

Lynch Fears
For His Title
Has Done Nothing But
Lose Most Of His
Friends

New York, March 12.-Joe
Lynch hasn't done much since
he won the bantamweight cham
pionshiD the second time, with the
exception of losing nearly all the
friends and followers he ever
had.
Joe apparently is of the idea
ihat he crown was entrusted TO
him to be kept in good hands
and chat he mas the only good
hands in the division. He has even
gone SO far in picking setups
that he viii not fight even first
class setup and has descended to
the place where his victims are
picked almost from the amateur
ranks.
In following the habit Of hold
ing the title at. all costs, Lynch
should remember that he never
would have won the title if Johnny
Buff had been unwilling to take
chance.
Buff did more than take (
chance. He fought Lynch when he
was in such physical condition
that he didn't have one chance in
q hundred to win but he was
game enough to defend his title
AGAINST a first class opponent.
Lynch is not in the position Of
Jack Dempsey, whH hasn't any
real outstanding rivals. because
Carl Trcmaine and Joe Burman
are camping on his trail and
neither one Of them is capable OF
giving him everything he wants.
Burman may have TO cut an
arm OF to make the weight, but
Lynch is getting close 10 the
Junior fcatherweight class. Ire
maine can make the weight easily.
Lynch's dangers are not con-
fined to the aantamwcight class.

Foster First To Face Trial
In Bridgnan Raid Cases

st. Joseph, Mich, March IL
The first of the "Red' trials grow
ing out of the spectacular raid
ON an alleged Communist con-
vention at Bridgman, Mich, last
August, is scheduled to get Un-
der way here today.
William z. Foster, Chicago la
Dor leader, was selected by the
state as the first of the q alleg-
ed delegates to the convention to
face jury. Foster was arrest
ed in Chicago, where he went
shortly before the raid occurred.
He was later extradited to Mich
igan, when it was decided to pros
ecute the men under the Michigan
anti-syndicate law.
Attorneys for both sides pre-
dicted today that it would be
several days before . jury was
selected.
Judge Charles T.. White de-
clared he would block any furth-
er attempts to delay the trial, as
he had already granted two post
ponements.
Federal officials learned early
last summer. through secret ag-
ents in Russia and Germany, that
the American branch of the Com
munist party, was planning a gi-
gantic convention.
Secret agents here worked for
months in an effort to gather in
formation regarding the conven-
ton. Much of the credit TO;
discovery of the meeting place
was given to Francis AShworth
federal operative who Joined the
Communist party and was APP
pointed delegate to the oonven
ton.
He notified his superiors that
the convention was to be held
at Bridgman. Mich. August %.
A few days before the date five
Federal operatives arrived here
to look the ground over.

Lynch an awful fight if the New
York Irishman would give him a
chance. Pound for pound, little
Villa is the best fighting machine
in the United States and that goe
for Dempsey.
Greasy Neale found recently in
a medical examination that he had
been outfelding in the National
League for II years with only
one eye. His case is not so re-
markable, as some other players
have been pastiming longer than
that without a head.
Prospects for DempseyFirpo
FIGHT in South America are so at
tractive financially that the skep-
teal are crossing their fingers
about the Brennan-Firpo fight.
Brennan has reached the end of
She string. Victory over Firpo
would mean little, as the old line
would be pulled that the South
American was ham and that
Brennan should have done it
sooner. Losing to the Argentine
giant would mean little or moth
ing. because the experts have
been expecting Bills demise for
some time.
This Firpo person will knock
out anyone he hits fairly and if
he hits Bill Brennan, Bill will
listen to the cockooes loud and
long.
Firpo is 50 suspicious of Anne
ricans that he will not develop
in this country as rapidly as his
talent deserves. When he first
came here he started to work
with Jimmy DeForest and he
was learning quickly. Some of
his fellow countrymen told him
that DeForest was Dempsey's
trainer and that Jimmy would
teach him wrong, so he could
never knock out the champion
and he left DeForest. Although
he has spent some time in the
United States, ne us still SO sus-
picious that he refuses to even
talk with an American manager.
Perhaps he has the wisdom of
old Sol, at that.
