AUTO LICENSES NOW DUE

The annual rush for auto licenses
began this week, although some had
previously made application for licen-
ssees, asking for old numbers. The
county auditors office is prepared to
handle applications, but it is not neces-
sary for the applicants from the Island
to make the trip into the city, as W. d.
Garvin and the vashon State Bank
are authorized to care for the applica-
tions as promptly as the county office.
The price of the licenses is the same
as last year. In applying for renewals
1t is necessary to furnish the license
number of the present car and such
other data, provided the car has been
changed during the year.
1t is especially urged upon all King
county citizens to secure their auto
licenses in the home county, for this
has direct bearing on the funds that
are returned to the county under the
farm-to-market road law. Besides los
ing the benefit of the car added to the
county totals, the one-cent gas fee is
also reduced, and thus every car lost
to another county means dollars lost
to King county. Get your licenses at
home, and add to the money coming
from the state for road building.

The Gamer, weekly maga-

born ST., Chicago, and devoted to
the canning business, has some
very valuable data and statistics
on the pie cherry industry, which
all growers should know. Prof.
Ernest H. Wiegand Of the Oregon
Experiment Station has conducted
series of experiments with prunes
and cherries which shows that
quality Of the pack depends upon
the state of maturity Of the fruit.
He has also demonstrated that well
matured fruit has more weight to
a given quality than the i'm
r mature or near mature fruit, and
that the pack has a better color.
He has conducted these expert
ments with brine solutions Of
different densities, the best and
heaviest fruit sinking while i'm
mature floated.

have invented prune sorter on

Vashon Teachers Have Narrow Escape
While returning to the late ferry
Monday night two vashon teachers
narrowly escaped in what might have
been a serious accident. Fortunately
their injuries are only minor.
Miss Edith Sanford, of the grammar
school, and G. B. Schunke, of the high
school, were returning to the Fauntle-
roy dock when the taxicab In which
they were riding ran into a railroad
engine at First Avenue South and Rail-
road Avenue. The dense fog was re-
sponsible for the drivers failure to see
the engine in time to avoid the acci-
dent. None Of the occupants were
seriously injured, despite the fact that
the car was considerably damaged.
Mr.. Schunke was able to be present
at his work on Tuesday. Miss San
ford, however, will spend the remain

severe shaking up she received,

orchard, planted with the right
kind of trees which are well cul-
tiyated, properly pruned and well
1ertilized on alternate years, Will
grow a maximum crop of well
developed, high -flavored and color
ed cherries, and will pay big
dividends on the investment. If
only such quality cherries are
packed the consumption will keep
ahead of the production.
Mr.. Ullsperger says: I'VE fire.
quently hear that considerable
new acreage has been planted to
cherries, but seldom hear of the
tremendous tree losses that occur
yearly due to severe winter or
spring injury, poor soil drainage,
improper spraying or cultural
methods. neglect of orchards and
other numerous causes. The grow
er must continually replace trees
or go out Of business.
Here is his estimate for the 1880

weather conditions: Michigan, 49,

ed, the grocery shelves will have
very few if any canned cherries
on their shelves. The pie bakers
will have used up their supplies
and we will have no spot cherries

I'VE believe that the 1880 cherry
crop will be sold and consumed lust
as rapidly as II has been during
recent years.
From the statistics given we
must conclude that the cherries
produced in Washington and Ore
gon is almost like the drop to the
bucket-5000 tons. 1t should be
10000 tons for Washington, for we
have here the soil and climate to
produce a maximum crop annually.

1t would seem that the ideal
way is to keep along with the

About a year ago the local D. A. R
chapter began to consider the cues.
tion of donating funds for the build.
ing Of a wall around Vashon Island
cemetery After some discussion all
the members were heartily in favor
of 1t.
Through the efforts of the Cemetery
Committee working with the d. A. r.
Committee, the wall Is now completed
and ready for dedication which will
take place next spring when the
weather will permit of all the citizens
attending.
One of the many lines of work pur
sued by the N. s. d. A. R. is the
preservation of history. One way or
doing this is by marking trails, erect
ing monuments of historic spots and
improving cemeteries.
We all know the historic value of
the old cemeteries in and around
Boston, New York and the old settle
ments of the South Often valuable
records are secured from the dates and
other inscriptions on the monuments
in the old cemeteries.
The purpose of the d. A. R. IN
erecting this wall is its protection of
the monuments thus preserving these
bits OF history for the future genera
tions of vashon Island.
