gun cleaners and quantity of 3O-3O

One discovery which police consid-
cred important was several cans that
had contained black paint. This was
regarded as significant because the
new Ford car, used in the actual
holdup, had been slate gray when
stolen here on May 10. When found
abandoned after the robbery, it had
been painted heavily with black
enamel
A small quantity of narcotics were
also found, according to police, who
believe that the bandits were under
the influence of drugs when they
staged the robbery.
Several cyewitnesses of the hold
up, which occurred on the highway
between here and Tijuana, have
identified photographs of Colson as
resembling one of the bandits.
They viii have an opportunity to see
Colson himself today.
ColSon is said to have a long police
record, and to have served time in

OPEN HOUSE MEETING CHANGED
TO FRIDAY EVENING

The next open house meeting of the
Community Club will be held on Fri
day, November 9th, instead of the date
previously announced For the re-
mainder of the winter these meetings
will be held on the second Friday of
each month. This change is being
made for the reason that many par
ents object to their children being out
on school nights. It is believed that
the school authorities will cooperate in
the matter, by avoiding as far as pos
sible making conflicting dates.
On this same evening meeting of
the Coop Hatchery will be held in
the Scout Cabin. It is understood
that this meeting will be over in time
for those attending to take advantage
of the social part of the Club meeting.
II is fortunate that there is this op-
portunity of combining business with
pleasure, and an unusually large at
tendance is anticipated at both meet
ings.
If you are not in the habit of at
tending these monthly meetings of the
Club you are missing a lot of fun.
Come out and join with your neigh
bors in social evening. There is no
better way to get acquainted, and no
better way to help build our Island
than by becoming better acquainted.

Poultry Short Course Will
Be Held at State
College.

The one week poultry production
and marketing short course at the
State College Of Washington will be
given January 81 to February l, in
elusive, states John s. Carver, head of
the poultry department.
THE purpose of this short course"
says Professor Carver, "is to supply
farm poultrymen with more detailed
information in regard to poultry pro-
blems than is possible by letter or
interview.
Excellent opportunity is afforded
to become intimately acquainted with
the most up-to-date poultry equip
ment and methods of profitable poultry
raising as practised at the State College
of Washington poultry plant. First
hand instruction is given in methods
of securing increased egg production
and a considerable amount of time is
devoted to the more efficient market
ing of farm poultry and eggs"
All those interested in the course
are asked to write the poultry depart
ment at Pullman for further details.
No registration fee will be charged.

agent in giving this demonstration for
the purpose of assisting farmers who
have stumps to remove, the most
economical method now known.
This method has been used success
fully on many farms in Western
Washington and has proved an in
expensive way of clearing land ready
for the plow.
This demonstration will be held at
the farm of E. F. Hanisch, at the end
of the paving south of Duvall.
Because of the lateness of the sea-
son, this will probably be the last
stump burning demonstration given
in the county during 1929. Other
demonstrations of this nature may be
held in various districts where farmers
are interested next spring.
All those having stumps which they
wish to remove from their land are
urged to attend this demonstration

most economical methods.

Successful Entertainment

The dinner given on last Friday
night by the men of the Community
Club to the women of the community
was a huge success.
The spirit Of Halloween prevailed
in the decorations of the hall and
tables, native greens and fruits being
used, in addition to the huge bouquets
of chrysanthemums donated by the
Beall greenhouse company. Large
pumpkins, filled with Island grown
grapes we're placed down the center of
each table, as well as double rows OF
lighted candles in rosy red apple candle
sticks.
With all due respect to the many
well prepared and served banquets
that have taken place on the Island
it is admitted by all present that none
have ever surpassed this one in the
minutest detail The skill and speed
with which the walters, in their tall
caps, served their guests with excel
lent food was revelation. 1t is
rumored that a goodly portion OF the
ladies present donned their best bib
and tucker that evening, fully expect
ing that by the time the meal was
served that 1T would be utterly ruined.
The meal, however, was unmarried by
a single accident.
The menu consisted of chicken a la
king, escalloped potatoes, candied
sweet potatoes, salad, rolls, jelly, ice
cream, waters and coffee.

Elnsport Wins in Court

Ancient history was again revived
and The people of Ellisport treated to
another court decision when an ad-
ditional scene of the Gowan melo-
drama was brought to a finish.
Richard Gowan has kept the citizens
Of Ellisport in an almost continuous
state Of tumult since 1922, when
through some chicancry he secured a
title to the streets of Ellisport. We
are not able to report accurately the
methods by which this legal gentle
man secured the desired ends, but he
has had the power to create lot of
misery in the peaceful little village of
Ellisport.
His latest move was when racently
he secured an injunction in an attempt
to stop the work being done by the
county on the streets of Ellisport, and
sought to have the commissioners
punished for contempt of court when
the work was proceeded with.
The delegation of Islanders who ap-
peared in court on Tuesday, and again
on Wednesday had the supreme salts
faction not only hearing Mr.. Gowan's
suit denied but of witnessing him fined
s25 for contempt of court for rude
conduct.
Mr.. Gowan claims that the code Of
ethics, learned at his mothers knee,
has always prevented his behaving in
manner he would not want his own
sisters to follow. 1t is to be hoped
that he has no sisters, if the whole
female relationship of the family con-
stitutes as great a drag on the forward
march of community as their brother
has proved to every movement for the
improvement of Ellisport.
Despite all this the work is proceed
ing on the streets of Ellisport, the
Ellisport hill road is open to traffic, so
possibly the Gowan bogy will disappear
eventually. Progress seems to be
marching steadily ahead, at any rate,
down there, so possibly Mr.. Gowan is
Just the necessary element that pre-
vents Ellisport from becoming too well
satisfied with the multitude of bless
ings that man,and nature has bestow-
ed in this lovely village by the Sound.
