Many Vashoa-haurY
Island Pioneers Meet

On last Saturday, July zItn, liie va
shon- Maury pioneers held their an
nual meeting at the Odd Fellows Hail
at Center, near the scene OF the social
gatherings of the early days.
At noon they sat down to a table
f-irly groaning with delicious tood
served in the same manner that pre-
vailed in the good old days before the
human race began TO worry about cal
cries, vitamins, and what not Those
present evidently were not concerned
about diet, for everyone ate as though
1t were the first meal for week, TO an
accompaniment of "reminiscences OF the
early days. There was an atmosphere
OF neighborliness that made one VINO
had come in recent years wish that ne
too. had been one of the pioneers. II
gave one a homesick feeling to hear
the exchange OF first names. Appar-
emily "Mr. and Mrs" had been removed
from our language for the day, and
folks were just Phoebe, Kate, Julia, Ill.,
Tim, Dick, Maggie. etc.
The stories that went the rounds,
of the joys and sorrows of those early
days failed to show the slightest ele-
ment of self-pity, but rather spirit OF
good sportsmanship that tinged every
thing with romance. Even Mr.. Clarks
tale of the Christmas when they had
only cold potatoes for dinner was de-
cidedly funny. The description OF the
night scenes on the beach at Quarter
master, when one could see the Ian
terms of the clam diggers moving about
elected the question. why did they dig
clans at night?" The answer was that
everyone was too busy during the day.
From all reports clans occupied very
important place in the diet OF those
early days.
Mr., Barton told of going shopping
for groceries. Their home was quar-
ter OF a mile south of the cemetery, In
order to go on shopping trip 1t was
necessary to walk over trail to Por-
tage, then follow the shore line to Rob-
inson Point and take the only boat that
stopped on the Island The worldly
wealth of the Barton family when they
landed on the Island consisted of four
teen dollars and half but blessed as
they we're with high hearts and the
spirit OF adventure. they were fully e.
quipped to meet any situation
Mr.. Clark told in graffc manner
their experiences in coming out from
Minneapolis. with Vashon as their
destination 1t took them nine days
to make the trip, at a time when there
were no de luxe" Accommodations.
1t Is too bad that some of the young
er generation is not making record
of these stories of the early days, for
as one of them said. these real
pioneers are quietly slipping away. and
it is matter OF only short time till
they will all be gone. Three have
passed over the great divide since the
last years meeting, Surely no fiction
contains more OF romance than these
tales they tell.

Harry J. Hobine Comes to Town on Old-FashiOned Vehicle, Making 10 Miles an Hour.

Reviving the days of old, when the high wheel bicycle was a com- mon sight along the streets of New Britain, Harry J. Hobine of Collins vile rode from that town to New Britain in somewhat under three hours, today. The distance is about 30 miles, MT. Hobine stating that he can average about 10 miles on hour on the hard" roads. .-
 Taking the wheel out for pleasure and exercise only, he has covered most of the roads in the state in the past few years.
 The wheel, a Pope, made in Hart ford about 1870 has been in stor- age for the past 45 years and was taken out and put in condition by the owner. The tires are the origin al ones, small and made of hard rubber. In the old days before the advent of hard roads. the small tires were the pitfall of many riders when they became caught in the sand. The handle bars are very close to the knees when riding and the rider often in the words of Mr. Hobine, hit his chest on the road, broke his knees on the handle bars and re- ceived a sharp hit in the back by the small wheel that never failed to land on top of the rider"
 Mr. Hobine plans to drive about the city today, returning to Collins vile before dark tonight.
