convict. Pulled Street Cars

Years ago when Australia was the
exile to which many English Offenders
against law and society were sent as
convicts, some harsh disciplinary
measures were resorted to, among
them being the hitching Of six,men to
a street car that traversed six or seven
miles. They had to run the entire
distance and the drivers dashed them
when they began to. tire Six men
were supposed to pull ton OF weight
in the way of passengers.

IMPROVEMENTS ARE MANY

Vashon island is neither deat
nor asleep. Witness the spanking
new school house that's nearly
completed at Lisabeula. This
school house is real artistic pro
duction from the exterior and is
up-to-the-m minute with inside con
veniences. There is an abundance
of light, an ample cloak room of
from the vestibule, lots of ventila
ton, and if any Of the youngsters
don't get there mentally, it viii
not be the fault of the directors Of
Lisabeula district.
The Center School house looks
like million dollars in pennies
since it was given several coats Of
paint. The roof blends with the
green background of trees, in its
coat Of moss green paint.
The Vashon Island Community
home, under the leadership Of its
efficient and faithful president
Mrs. G. j. Robinson, is now having
a big stage 20x30 feet constructed
on the east side. This will Civ,
one of the biggest auditoriums OF
the island, with plenty of stage
room, and should make this home
an attractive spot for all genera
public meetings of island wide in
terest. The building is to have
two coats of paint inside and out
The carpenter work was let to G
s. Mauck, contractor.

Capt, Harry w. Crosby Of the in
dependent Crosby direct line, may
build his own terminals to give
the island folk additional trans
portation service,
This loomed likely after a leng
thy hearing before the commiss
toner's Tuesday, in which Commiss
ioner Paul's motion to grant the
permission was lost for want of 4
second.
Commissioner Gaines was out
spoken III hls determination not
to grant anything which will
compete with the county's owi

Commissioner William Brow
was undecided, said he could sec
both sides and wanted additional
time for study.
Crosby was supported by 4

others, who sought more and bet

Fashioned $50. willow plume on a

without either wanting to sing for
the life that now is, or else cry for
the days that have fled.

PORTAGE.DEs MONIES FERRY
PETITION Is TABLED

A truly representative body Of
VaShon islanders met in the room
OF the County Commissioners Tues
day at the hearing on the petition
to grant the Crosby line permission
to use the abandoned docks at
Portage and Dcs Moincs, Many
people spoke in favor of The re.
quest, among them being W. G.
Meredith, j. NJ. Ogilvy, W. j. Ma
gowan, Frank G. Park, G. l.. Gar
ncr, A. j. Stuckcy, Wallace Bcall,
Michael p, Crosbic, Il. II, Miller,
b. Morgan and II. Il. Heating. d.
{, Cullman was booed when he
made the statement that the gath.
cring was evidently to get the
VaShon Heights ferry moved to
Portage. A fellow said to be from
Kirkland by the name Of Chambers
attacked the record Of Mr.. Crosby,
and was answered by Mr.. Crosby
| by the laying on the Commission
ers table of the contract referred
to by Chambers. Crosby said the
reference made by Chambers was
false, and the people shouted their
approval of Crosby's reply.
Philip D Macbride, in behalf of
the kitSap company, spoke from
the standpoint Of the, Company.
His speech was temperate in tone
and covered a history Of the lease
from the county, the hurt sustain
ed by his company when the Cros-
by people opened up the landing
at Manchester, which "amputated
one leg of the Kitsap company"
and suggested if the Portage run
be opened up it would be the cutt-
ing off of the other leg, and would
mean the crippling of the Kitsap
company to such an extent "the
commissioners might wake up
some morning to find some ferry
boats on their hands and no place
to GO In reply to Mr.. Magow-
ans kick, Macbridc said if it was
correct, someone observed being
canned" He said the company
proposes to give three round trips
to Marion Street this winter, and
will consider additional trips, but
wouldn't say at what time. He
bespoke his faith in Vashon island
when his company spent "some-
thing like $175,000 on. the best
ferry on Puget Sound, and put it
on the Vashon island run"
Sturdy Old Frank Paul repeated
his belief in the island need for
more and better transportation
and said neither company CROSBY
nor the Kitsap People, meant any
thing to him one way or the other
but that the people Of the island
did-and moved the petition be
granted. A storm Of applause fol-
lowed the motion, Commissioner
Brown said he wouldn t second the
motion. He consumed several
minutes explaining his explana-
ton, and finally run out Of explain
atory explanations, and quit. w.
a. Gaines was more explicit. He
didn't believe in the petition, was
against it, and under no considerd-
ton would he approve granting it.
After more or less wrangling over
the matter until after one O'Clock,
a motion prevailed to table the pc
tition. Paul against and Brown
and Gaines for the motion. So
endeth another chapter, but neith-
er the story nor the book is finish
ed! Not by jug full.
