MUCH IMPROVEMENT
AT WASHING in YEAR
Past Twelve Months View
Erection Of Many New
Buildings.

More permanent improvements
have been made at Vashon for the
year ending September l, 1923,
than III any other year in lis his
tory. Each week all this sum
has seen the beginning of some
permanent Improvement. This
week it was the construction of a
slX-foot concrete sidewalk along
the Beall-Elansen Co. property,
from the Van Olinda building to
the Vashon Island Eggery build
ing, near Mace's garage, and a
good sized garage being built by
the Eggery for the company cars
and trucks.
Beginning with improvements
made within tn past year. was the
construction of the Van Olinda
building. Then followed the re-
modelling of the interior of tl>
Middling building to house the
barber shop, Cash and Carry gro
cery and barber shop. About that
time P. A. Petersen purchased the
barn on the Gorsuch property and
remodeled it for feed store. The
front of Chas. Deppman s building
was arranged for convenient
housing of the Auto Freight Co.
trucks.
An important addition to the
business district of the village was
the Eggery building erected last
spring. This well construct
ed frame building, large enough
to handle a considerable volume
of business.
This month the Vashon Is
land Transportation Co. erected
a garage building 16 by As feet
in dimensions to house the big bus
and other cars. The front has
been extended across the small
building, making it continuou to
the hotel, improving the appear
ance of the property very much.
The two building, one formerly
used for garage purposes, and the
other for a meat market, have
been moved to make space for the
new Petersen & Kimmel building.

A SPLENDID EXHIBIT.

There is on display at the Wash
on State bank a small exhibit Of
"large" agricultural products
that should be of interest to every
one. A. Bartman, who farms the
Mclean place north of Vashon and
the one on Maury island, started
the competition by bringing in
four well matured ears of as fine
corn as could be produced any
where in the United States. 1t is
of the Swis variety and is truly
wonderful. He also had a fine
specimen of hairy vetch. Then
came W. NJ. Boynton with several
stalks Of Golden Bantam corn,
the tallest Of which measures nine
feet, eight inches. The ears, of
which there are several, are well
out of the way Of the pigs and
chicken, hanging from five and a
half to six feet above the ground.
Another good specimen is a stalk
of "'hog millet' brought in by W.
p. Morford. Thse specimens are
all so meritorious that there
should have been an island fair at
which to exhibit them and many
more of their kind.

WORLD WOOL OUTPUT

Totals for 1922 Below Level of
1921, Department of Com

World wool production, still little
under the depression left by the
after-the-war surplus in stocks and
by decreased European consuming
power, fell off trif1e during 1922
from the levels it attained in 1921,
according to estimates made public
today by the Commerce Department,
and is still further behind the aver
age production of pre-war years in
it's total.
The departments summary indi-
Gates an actual wood production
of 2,270,737,000 pounds for 1922, as
compared with 1854, ,735,000 pounds in
1921, and an average of 2,545, ,565, 900
pounN in the pre-War years between
1909 and 1913.
The figures for several of the prin-
cipal wool producing countries, the
department explained, arc tentative,
owing to lack of official reports. In
Argentina, where the 1922 production
estimated by the department was
23l, ,483,000 pounds, it was explained
that floods and drought had left the
exact situation obscure. Only one or
two countries showed increased pro-
duction in 1922, British South Africa.
one of them, having an estimated
output of 1877 100000 pounds, COM
pared with 157.761 900 pounds in the
pre-war years, and 61,700,000 pounds
IN 1921.
The production in this country in
1922 was 261 ,095.000, pounds. against
273.064,000 in 1921, and 314,110,000
