It's a hard git 70 swallow when
the batting championship Of a ma
lor league hes been taken away from
you. But that's practically what
has happened to Heinie Manush,
heavy hitter of the St. Louis Browns.
Upon completion Of the American
league season Manush was generally
recognized as the American leagues
leading hitter, with Leon Goose"
Goslin, of the Washington Senator's,
second. But when the American
leagues official statistics were made
known recently, the figures were re-
versed and Goslin was enthroned as
the 1923 batting champion. He won

this weakness in his defense, and he

One of the young women, Miss

recently become interested in aviation.
Although occupied during her working
hours as one of the instructors in the

LINNEsTEAD ORCHARD TRACT
SOLD


The Garvin Real Estate Agency last
week completed the sale of one of the
finest orchard tracts on the Island,
that of A. j. Linnestead, TO Mrs. Mae
C. Naugle.
Mr.. Linnestead has developed this
tract in scientific way from raw land
to a highly improved orchard, having
lived on it for the past thirty years.
His fruit has won many prizes at
fairs, all due to the care his trees have
received. Situated as it is, on the
pavement, and near the vashon
school building, it is valuable piece
of property.
1t is reported that Mr.. Linnestead
expects to return soon for a visit to
his old home in the fatherland.
Mrs. Naugle, a sister of Mrs. M. L.
Tjomsland, has recently come from
Fort Worth, Texas, to spend the sum-
mer with her sister and parents, but
decided to remain. She has two
children, a son and daughter of high
school age, who. with their mother,
will be welcome addition to our
community.

RELICS OF PIONEER
DAYS ON DISPLAY
"reminiscences of the Days of the OK
Team Shown at the Vashon
Hardware.

The window of the Vashon Hard
ware store contains this week an in
teresting display, relics of the early
days here and elsewhere.
The largest object is huge OK yoke,
used many years ago in some of the
lumber camps on the Island, and still
good for many more years of use, if
the oxen were available
The two pairs of oxen shoes have
attracted much attention. 1t is sur
prising to many that the shoeing of
these animals was necessary. Mr..
Barton tells that in the early days the
blacksmith shops on the Island were
ali equipped to shoe oxen. Because
these animals can not stand on three
legs they were hoisted up in slings and
shod while suspended in air.
The old brass candlestick and its
snuffers are still ready for service,
much less perishable than the modern
electric lights that have taken their
place.
An old Remington muzzle loading
rifle and an army revolver with a
powder horn and measure take us
back to the days on the Island when
fresh meat depended largely on skill
with what seems to us now, rather
crude weapons.
A cumbersome, handmade brace,
fashioned of hard wood, and worn to a
high polish by years of use, was. no
doubt used in the construction of some
of the early day log cabins.
Equally interesting are two pictures
taken at Center against a background
of deep forest. on Decoration Day,
1892, one of the w. r. c. and the
other of the G. A. r. Quaint indeed
are the styles of clothing worn by the
women. Those were the days OF real
sleeves, waists. hips and coiffures.
The men in the picture resemble ad-
herents of the House of David more
than Vashon Islanders. One would
have to travel many miles today, to
see as many whiskers, as this picture
shows attending one Memorial Day
celebration. But even though the
clothes. and facial adornment seem
quaint, the faces of these men and
women indicate the type that any COM
munity could be proud to claim as
making up its pioneers.
OF the nineteen women in the
picture. so far as Mr.. VanOlinda knows
there are only two living, Mrs.
Blackburn and Mrs. Ed Mace. OF the
fifteen men only two, Mr., Barton and
Mr.. Markham are still with us. One
other member of the Post. not In the
picture, Mr.. Wilhight, is still alive.
On next Saturday, at the Odd
Fellows Hall at Center those who have
lived on Our Island for a period of
forty years or more will gather to-
gether to live over again the memories
of the early days.
