LISABEULA.
BY j. II. Weber.

Lisabeula, with about a mile Of
waterfront, located ON the west
side Of Vashon island, is stragetic-
ally located middleway between
Seattle and Tacoma, on the beau
tiful West Pass-noted for its
fine scenery and gorgeous sun
sets-daily traversed by the boats
of the West Pass Transportation
Co., only a short ride from either
of the two great cities.
This fast-growing summer re-
sort was visited last summer by
100 people, who came here to en-
joy the wonderful beach and to
bask in the glories Of the sunsets.
Here a great chautauqua pavil-
ion has been erected, and already
dozens of cottages have been built
and furnished, ready for summer
housekeeping. A beautiful log
cabin inn, with all modern con
veniences, furnishes a rendezvous
for tired business people, who rev.
el in the bcauteous outlook upon
the Olympics. 1t is expected by
the optimist that at no far distant
day thousands of people from the
Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1923-12-14

others, but this old Aower-loving
pioneer is the one to whom your
thoughts should turn when you
see the roses and other flowers
along the streets of Ellisport. At
one time Mr. Judd had over $50
varieties Of roses on his home
stead and many of the old gard
ems Of the island got their start
from the Judd gardens, as he gave
freely to all who were interested
in flowers.
With the coming of the assemb-
ly, the postoilice was established
at this point, James McClintock
having been the first postmaster,
with his daughter, Gertrude, as as
sistant. Besides carrying ON the
work of the Office she also started
a small circulating library from
her own stock of books, thus start
ing the first public library on the
island. When the family later
moved to Burton, she still continu-
ed her library during the II years
she was postmaster at that place.
From 1888 until the early COS
the Chautauqua meetings were
well attended. but gradually 9th
er resorts sprang up along the
Sound, and the Seattle fire chang
ed the fortunes of some of the
men mostly interested the place
lost out" and was finally
nearly abandoned. However, it is
still one of the beauty places
of the Sound. Of late years it has
been much improved by the build
ing of several fine new homes. A
new hotel, Madrona Lodge, has
been erected on the site of the old
Chautauqua hotel, and is a fav-
ored place for summer people
when personally conducted by the
owner, Mrs. G. j. Pyle.
After the Chautauqua assembly
ceased to hold meetings here for
several years, citizens of the place
thought it only right to honor one
of the old pioneers by giving his
name to the place he and his as
sociates had selected as the site of
their university, which never ma
terialized, so they named it Ellis
port in honor Of Rev. j. F. Ellis.
Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1923-12-14

When the real pioneers came to
what is now Ellisport there were
no roads, no regular boat to the
mainland. The extent Of the pop
ulation was from ten to fifteen
families scattered from Mark
hams and the Lindleys at the
north and the Berrys and the
Bickfords to the south. Yet with
so few the little log church was
filed to bursting every Sunday to
listen to the sermons by Rev. Dill
worth and the fine singing of Mr..
Livesley and his girls
Honor should also be given to
Mrs. L. R. Carpenter, a pioneer
woman of education and refine
ment, who was untiring in her eff
forts to arrange entertainments
and educational societies for the
young people of the island.
Well, "them days are gone for
ever" and none Of us want those
old days forgotten or the efforts
of those old pioneers forgotten, as
it is entirely due to them that the
island is the fine place on which
to live in the year 1928

orite place for the surprise at
tacks, one on the other, of Indian
tribes from the north and the
south later this was the equally
convenient point for the peace
Potlatch, as it was but a very
short portage for their canoes,
then from Trump to Quartermast-
err harbOr, or vice versa Here the
tribes stretched their nets across
the portage from tree to tree to
catch the swift, low-h lying ducks.
No wonder that it became famous
as a sportsman s paradise i'll later
years, and is yet probably the best
duck hunting grounds on the is
land.
Probably the first house bull, at
Portage, still standing, was erect
ed by Fred B. Sherman about
1898. The first wharf was put in
in 1900 and became regular
stopping place for the Mcdowell
boats and proved very conven
lent shipping point for the settlers
for miles around. In June, 1903,
general store was opened by c.
f. Van Olinda, who operated 1t
for nearly IS years. Harry NJ.
Lee now has this store. The post
Office at Portage was established
and opened for business on July
Is, 1908 Rural free deliver ser

the island, was inaugurated June

very near future.
The Standard OH company es-
tablished its distributing station
at the ferry dock, again demon
strating the fact that Portage is
the natural distributing point for
the islands. This is also evidenced
by the fact that the Steen Mill

forth, G. Rivett and many others,
too numerous to mention, have
carved their way through the for
ests and established homes on
what are now some Of the most
productive acres in King county.
"A community church has been
erected where the whole commun-
ity worships God, under the lead
crship Of that grand old man, the
Rev. G. II. Howard. An adequate
school is located right in the cent
cr of the community. One of the
most up-to-datc general mercan-
tile stores is giving regular city
service to its patrons.
Lisabeula strawberries and log
anberries have reputation for
being among the most select ship
ped to nearby cities. Other small
fruit is grown in abundance, and
poultry raising is fast becoming
profitable business.
The best evidence that Iisabeu-
la is a desirable place to live is
the fact that many have resided
here for from Is to 20 years.
Through the summer hundreds of
automobiles loaded with pleasure
seekers visit Lisabeula, and most
of the community has adopted for
a slogan, eco get 'em." And to
one and all we invite you to this

We wish you a merry Christmas

ELLISPORT.

EllispOrt is situated on the east
side of Vashon island, about half
way between Seattle and Tacoma,
looking out over the safe and
beautiful Trump harbor, which
was named after old Capt. Van
Trump, one Of the early explorers
of Puget Sound. The town is on
an easy elevation from the shore,
giving magnificent view Of the
water, Maury island, Mt. Rainier
and the surrounding mountains.
Most of the people of Vashon
and Marry islands are very fam
liar with this lovely spot as it has
long been the choice of locations
for family picnics or community
celebrations, and for many years
it has been one of the favorite
summer resorts for campers from
all parts of the state. In fact, it
is the oldest summer resort on
Puget Sound, but well known as it
is, few people know its pioneer
history and it is of this period that
this article will treat.
The location of Ellisport and the
adjoining land was first filed on
prior to 1888 by three ministers,
the Revs. Harrison, Green and 81
lis. These men had a vision of ac-
curing this large tract Of land and
founding large university, which
would attract young people from
all over the West. The Harrison
tract was composed of land above
the point and also a strip along
the front of Ellisport. and he built
his little shake cabin on the spot
now owned by Mrs. Bailey. Rev.
Ellis tract was more to the south
and his cabin was built on the hill
now owned by the Furbush faml-
ly. Rev. Green thought that a
settlers home could be only a real
home if made of logs, so con
structed quite an elaborate little
log cabin, with a stick and mud
fireplace. near the spot now own
ed by Rev. Hole, in the center OF
Fllisport. In spite of the care he
had taken with his cabin he was
NOT as careful Of his corners,
and found that he had not built
his cabin ON the land on which he
expected to locate. This so dis
couraged him that he left the Is
land and returned to Seattle,
where he has since lived. The
land he thus abandoned was locat-
ed and taken in the spring of 1883
by James NJ. McClintock of Ia
coma. His family, his family and
a scow load of lumber for house
was brought over to the island by
Capt. Soloman Sherman with his
steamer, "Swan," then the only
boat running to the island. and 1t
only "ran" when there was some
thing special to go after, as Capt.
sherman owned a large homestead
tract on Quartermaster harbor
and had much to attend to be-
sides steamboating. However, he
was the first man to run boat to
the island and was one of the most
progressive pioneers and did much
to make the island what it is to-
day. ....-.-.
