BULLETIN.

SHANGHAI, Dec. 8.-Chang Kai-
shek, the head of the Marking "gov-
ernment," denies that he intends to
resign, and asserts he will fight as
long as there is zone soldier" This
is the statement today. Tomorrow
he may have a completely different
one. Today, also, claims are made
that the troops are "loyal," that "au-
thorities are supporting Marking"
that the "rebels are being defeated"
and that everything is all right.
But British gunboats are being
sent to every Yangtze river port
to take off British citizens as the re-
volt grows. Marking itself is under
martial law and warship of Eng
land is on hand to protect foreign

skirts O. Shanghai itself, soldiers
have been on the loose, looting and

BERLIN, Dec. 8.-While 10 more
nations, including one which Ameri-
can imperialism must boast of-its
navy-ruled colony of Nicaragua,
have now joined the kellogg Pact

Soviet Union, making 29 nations in
all, reports from Moscow show that
the Soviet press is not at all taken
in by the silly rejoinder of Secretary
Stimson that his mote" helped to
make peace between the Soviet
Union and the Mukden, Manchurian
government.
The Soviet organ, Economic
Life" for example, editorializes as
follows:
Apparently Mr.. Stimson sup
poses his hearers and readers know
nothing of the facts of the case. Yet
the whole world is aware that Sec
retary Stimson began his feverish
diplomatic activity, not when a Chi
nese general seized the railroad and
raided Soviet territory and set
mines in the out rivers.
at is true that in July he issued
a secret memorandum to the powers
proposing an international commits
sion and neutral director for the
settlement of the railroad conflict.
We cannot imagine that Secretary
Stimson was then ignorant of the
Soviet conditions for conference

maintained from the outset and have

Exposing the hypocritical nature
of the Stimson note and the Kellogg
pact (waved by every imperialist
power as it trains it's guns on the
U. S. S. r., the Friends of the
Soviet Union, U. S. Section, yes
terday issued a statement in which
it called 'on American workers to
rush to the defense of their social
list fatherland and fight every move
the capitalist imperialist powers
make against it.
"Once more the imperialist pow
ers of the world have disclosed their
war Vaccinations against the Soviet
Union," the statement declares.
"The note sent to the Soviet
Union and China by Secretary
Stimson, shows that the U. S. A.
has assumed the leading roll in i'm
perialist aggression against the U.
S. S. r. This statement is a futile
attempt to prove that the signers
OF the Kellogg pact, led by Uncle
Sam, are able to secure to all ma

at should be clear now to every
American worker and friend of the

are merely so much more buncombe,

JUDD CREEK TRUsTLE
NOW BEING REBUILT

This work which is now under.
way, consists of road revision
and replacement of the existing
bridge. Approximately 5000 Gu
bic yards of dirt will be excavat-
ed. The north so feet of the
present trustle will be filled with
this material. This regrade is of
a permanent character and when
finished will be ready for paving.
The sharp curve at the north
end of the bridge will be lengthen-
ed and the cut which now OBJ
scuress visibility, will be removed.
The road to Paradise Valley for
a distance of about 400 feet will
be regarded and Strengthened and
the bad turn west ON the road to
Talaquah will be revised.
Unfortunately, the existing
bridge will have to be replaced
with another wood structure,
sufficient money not having been
provided by the last Board of
County Commissioners. The ap-
proximate cost of a concrete
bridge in this location would be
$25, 100000.
Traffic has been kept open as
long as safety will permit and the
time of detouring will be cut as
short as possible, A temporary
walk across the ravine has been
built for the high school students.
The timbers for the new bridge
are all framed and the new
structure will take shape rapidly.
A small gas shovel is being EN-
ployed both for earth work and
as a derrick for handling the
bridge timbers. To date the earth
work has progressed very salts
factorily. The trucks have made
an average time Of about seven
minutes for round trip. Hauling
about 21a cubic yards per trip
brings the cost far below the best
contract price obtained by King
County in its entire years per-
formance.
The Improvement was authoriz-
ed by the Board of County Com
issioners, Col. Wilmer B. Brin-
ton, South District Commissioner
and the work is being done by
Thomas D. Hunt, King County
Engineer.

BURTON GARDEN CONTEST

Entries are now being solicit
ed for the Burton Garden Contest
sponsored by the Burton Garden
Club. The rules of the game are
very simple. If you decide to en-
ter the contest you must first oil
all send in your name to the sec
retary of the Garden Club, and
then you get out the old hoe, rake
or what you have, and proceed
to make what ever improvements
on your home lot that your fancy
suggests. You may have lot OF
quack grass in lieu of a lawn,
then just spread few ducks
around, and the feathered quacks
will beat the grass quacks to it.
This is not a joke, but a real fact.
Then plant perreniels, roses,
shrubs, and what ever your nurse
ryman suggests,unless you have a
strong will, and can hold back.
That is if you wish to make an
outlay of money ON your improve
ments, but this is how the
judges will consider the improve
ments. They will consider just
how much is due to individual
effort, and how much is due to the
cheque book. Individual effort
will count most. Earn thy flow
ers by the sweat of thy brow, will
be the slogan for the judges.
As soon as you have made
known your desire TO enter the
contest, the judges will visit your
grounds, and make a record of
the existing conditions, and at the
end of the season they will make
another trip to see just how you
have worked, and improved your
place. There will be a number of
fine prizes for the winners; first,
second, and third, perhaps also,
four, five, six. The area desig-
mated for this contest embraces
Burton, and vicinity. We do not
wish to 20 TOO far afield as we
have but one care for the three
Judges, a coupe, and one of the
iudges is only little man. The
ladies who have very kindly offer
ed their services, both as in
spectors, and judges are: Mrs.
jackson Corbett and Mrs. DR..
Young.
The Burton Garden Club is
much interested in this contest,
and some of the members have
offered some of their perrenials,
and other plants to those who will
take part.
Those who would like to be
with us may send in their names
at once to Norman Edison, Sec
retary, Burton.

PARKING ON THE VAsHON
HEIGHTS DOCK PROHIBITED

While at first thought the re-
cent action taken by the county
commissioners, prohibiting the
parking OF cars on the dock at the
North End, may seem to work a
hardship, second thought and con-
sideration will cause US to see the
justice and wisdom of it.
Each day more and more cars
are being parked there, while the
owners are in the city, and some
day something disastrous is going
to happen unless the practice is
stopped. On the south side OF tire
dock, where the cars are parked
the boards are becoming so i'm
pregnated with oil and gas that a
fire might easily be started from
a cigarette, or match. The com
bined weight of the cars imposes
a strain on the structure that is
gradually weakening it. When
one considers the capital repre-
sented by the building of dock
it is not surprising that the Off
cials must take precautions to pre-
serve what we already have.
Not long ago it was necessary
to move car ON the dock. The
owner had set the brake, closed
the windows and locked the door.
The men working on the dock had
the alternative of breaking a win
dow, releasing the brake and push
ing the car out of the way or NOV.
ing it with mole than man power.
Instead they put chain ON to it
and by power furnished by a pile
driver dragged the car across the
dock. If a fire broke out there
might not be pile-driver, or
crew of men handy, and then ii
would be just too bad.
1t is not beyond reason to be-
lieve that if approached in the
proper spirit tie commissioners
would not devise parking place
at the west end of the dock, as
there is property adjacent to the
dock that could be purchased for a
reasonable amount. A shed roof
would not be expensive to CON
struct, and the saving to the cals
affected thereby would offset the
shoe leather expended in walkirg
the length of the dock.
Resolution No. 3,219
Whereas, it is deemed advisable
by the Board of County Commis-
sioners, King County, Washington,
to prohibit the parking of auto
mobiles and trucks on the Va

CLUB BANQUET IS
DECLARED HUGE
SUCCESS

Apparently each year marks an
Improvement in the annual Com
mercial Club banquet commen-
surate with our developments
along other community lines. This
year was no exception.
After an excellent dinner
served to 200 guests by the ladies
of the Island club, assisted by
MIR. and Mrs. Fishers Blend"
who baked more than enough of
the most perfect biscuits ever
concocted, Mr.. England, with his
usual happy choice of words in
troduced the various presidents of
local organizations, after which he
turned the hOnors over to w. G.
Parkes, that toastmaster unsur-
passed, who always makes us feel
that no worry concerning the
success of an affair need be felt.
lnterspersed with stories, main
ly concerning the love affairs of
Nose and Mandy, the various Wis
ltors from the mainland were in
troduced and spoke briefly of
their pleasure at being present,
the kindly spirit felt toward each
other, as well as toward Vashon.
and their desire to be our guest
at some future date. Those pres
ent who spoke were the mayor
and president of the Chamber of
Commerce of Tacoma, the presi-
dent of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce, the president of the
kltsap Transportation Company
and the South End commissioner
Musical numbers rendered by
the quartette from Ivanhoe Com

Importance of oneness of purpose
IN our community development.

fact with fancy brings home tre-

As fitting close to the evening.
Mr.. Harmeling, in well-chosen
words, paid a tender tribute to
the member, whom that afternoon
had been laid to rest. BY rising
vote the resolutions of sympathy
to the loved one left behind were
adopted, all present standing in
reverent attitude while Miss Eng
land sang 'NThe City Four
square. "
Resolutions of Coincidence
God, in His inscrutable provi-
dence has called Terkel Hansen to
leave us aud to pass through the
valley of the shadow of death.
When his sun was at the meridian
height, and his life full of service
and beauty, the eclipse of death
obscured it and he winged his
flight to the land of eternal rest
and peace.
Therefore be it: Resolved. that
we the members of the Vashon-
Maury Island Commercial club
deplore the great loss we sustain
in one whose life of love and serv-
ice was benediction upon all the
people-upon the spiritual, moral
and business interests of the
whole community.
Resolved that We extend to the
widow and children and to the
other relatives our profound sym
pathy which is but poor consola-
ton in this sore bereavement, and
we therefore commend them to
Him who in His Holy habitation
is a father of the fatherless, and
who tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb.

 HI. A. Reed, q local youth from Pittsburg who, during tlle past year has been quietly prospecting his mineral claim on Lowell creek. adjacent to the Bfownell homestead, during his spare time, has tunnelled into the mountain above the creek bed a distance of about 30 feet
 The accompanying report of assay specifics the values con- tained in his ore.
 Gold 034 per ounce, silver ono per ounce: value per ton $685.
 The report continues: The white or light gray metallic min eral in the samples is M arseno- pyrite. the sulphide of arsenic and iron. This mineral is some times called white iron" by miners. Most of the gold must be contained within the particles or arsenopyrite, because it is not easily seen by banning Possibly 1t could be liberated by finer grinding.
