Battle Should Be
Fast and Furious

Freddy Imperial the rotund Fill.
Pine bantam, and Ramon Montoya.
Mexican lis FOUNDER who has been
going strong during the past year,
meet in return engagement Friday
night in the open air arena. The
valley fans win thus have real
chance to decide which is the bet,
ter boy.
The duo opened the season here
and while Montoya was far in the
lead when he fouled Imperial, the
latter. of course, was awarded the
decision. Since then there has been
considerable discussion among local
fistic fans relative to their respee-
tive merits and the rematch was
made, responding TO popular demand.
Imperial is an experienced battler
having fought the best at his weight
during his career. Montoya is newer
at the game but has made rapid pro
gress and is today considered equal
70 or better than the Filipino. The
fight should be fast and furious with
a Knockout the probable final result.

New Road at Ellispert Big
Improvement.

To those who have not seen the new
Ellisport road 1t is hard to conceive
what an improvement has been made
Il begins directly north of the Steen
MIL, cut having been made that
does away entirely with the steep
grade, with its hidden curve that used
to be the dread of motorists. The
road is now almost Strengthened out in
direct north and south direction.
AS yet 1t has not been graveled, but
this will come in due season. Instead
OF being cause for injunctions, and
what not, the opinion of the majority
OF those in Ellisport is that they are
mighty glad the authorities went
ahead with their original plans, and
have completed not only this piece of
work, but are continuing to the streets
farther up in the village.
Ellisport was never more lovely than
at the present time, and If you are
motoring over the Island on Sunday
we know of no finer trip than down
by the ridge road, through the village,
then on to Portage, where another
bit Of road work has been done, by
way Of widening the street that passes
the lovely new Van Olinda home.
This road work is being hasten
ed by the gravel digger that has been
added to the road building equipment
on the Island, arriving last Saturday.
Loading by the old method was re-
sponsible for much of the delay we
have experienced in the past, and it is
fortunate that our commissioner has
finally realized our need of newer and
better road building machinery.

FORMER ISLANDER NOW DEAN

will be glad to learn that Mrs. Edith
Johnstone Morton has been appointed

Vashon Island. She was principal OF
the Vashon school some fourteen years
ago, and the pupils with whom she
came in contact, even those who were
only in the primary grades at the
time, still remember Mrs. Morton with
deepest affection and respect.
For the past few years Mrs Morton
has acted as dean of women in schools
In the east and her success has been
SO marked that she was selected for
her present position out Of large
group of applicants.

Richard was a fine, sturdy young
