SHENANDOAH SAILS
OVER VASHON ISLAND

Islanders witnessed last Sunday
at high noon sight which would
have been hailed as miracle a
hundred years ago. The big di-
rigiblc, built by Uncle Sam as a
strictly war ship, and named the
Shenandoah, " sailed almost di-
rectly over the Island last Sun
day and was so near we could al
most read the name on her side.
From the angle which we first
saw her she looked like mighty
fish swimming in the air. Her
outline is perfect figure of a fish,
even to the fins and tail. She
was going north over Seattle and
Bremerton and we could see her
plainly visible for upwards of
twenty minutes. Thousands from
Tacoma and surrounding terri
tory witnessed her advent to the
state, many sitting up all night
for that one thrill which comes
but once in a life time. She has
now, departed southwark, but the
memory will linger in the minds
of some on the Island for three
quarters of a century. Their
children and grandchildren will
be told about October 18th, 1924,
after October 19, 1881, is forgot

COVE REPUBLICAN
CLUB has MEETING

Another campaign rally was
held by the Cove Republican club
at Colvas hall ON Friday, Oct. 10.
The meeting was called to or
der by President Shiplcy, who
had everyone present stand and
sing the "Star Spangled Ban
ner."
The main speaker of the eve
ming being mavoidably absent,
Mr.. Smpley took advantage of the
occasion to make known several
facts in the record of Mr.. LaFol-
lette.
While Mr. LaFollctte poses as
an ardent friend Of the down
trodden farmer, he, together with
Mr.. Byan, favOrs two-cent re-
reduction Of the tariff on sugar.
AS the beet farmers of the United
States furnish 100000 tons of
sugar per year, it is very easily
seen what would be the result.
incidentally Mr.. Shipley stated
that LaFOllette prevented any
tariff whatever on shingles and
greatly harmed that industry in
this state.
1t had been the intention of the
club to have a debate on the mer-
lis Of the Bone Bill, but, as the
opposition speaker was not pres
ent, both sides were not given.
Captain McClinton was given
the floor and reviewed the differ
ent measures printed in the Ref
erendum pamphlet, on which we
vote November 4th.
He does not believe in Initia-
tive No. 40, known as the School
Bill and advised against its adop-
ton.
The 40 Mill bill also came in
for his disapproval.
He was quite strongly in favor
Of the Bone Bill and spoke at
length on its benefits.
While he favored Referendum
No. 3, he would not pass an opin-
as to which would be in force if
both it and the Bone Bill were
successful in gaining the requis-
ite number of votes.
His few remarks on the Amedn-
ment to the State Constitution
permitting the legislature to clas-
slfy counties by population. and
to combine county offices, were
favorable.
The Amendment relative to
Harbor lines was passed over
without any strong recommends
tiOnS.
The entertainment committee
was instructed to make prepara-
tions for big rally at the Wash
on high school on October 24th,
the details to be announced later.
There will be a meeting of the
club at Cove community hall OH
Friday evening, October 17th,
which promises to be an interest
