The new ferry, when completed, will
be not only the largest on the Sound,
but the speediest ferry as well. The
Kitsap Count, Transportation is just
ly proud of this new boat, and the ex-
pansion of business it is indicative OF.
This summer three boats will be put
on the Seattle vashon Heights Harper
run, the first Of June, as compared
with the one boat operating over this
same run five years ago.
That the people of the Island are
interested in the growth Of our ferry
facilities goes without saying and there
is no doubt that goodly number will
take advantage Of the opportunity Of
fered to see the launching of the fine
new vessel that is to carry the name
of our Island.
While It has not been confirmed
we are informed that some effort will
be made to have the high school Or
chestra furnish music for the trip.
Full details will be published in the
News Record next week, but in the
meantime everyone that can possibly
get away will no doubt be making
plans to be present at the launching.

Male Chorus to Be Heard Soon

One of the. outstanding musical O.
vents Of the history of our Island Is
to be staged on the afternoon Of Sun
day, June LIST, when the Male Chorus
70 Norwegian singers of Seattle will
give concert here. 1t is altogether
possible that this chorus will be aug
mented by the Tacoma chorus, fifty
voices in all, singing Norwegian, swed-
ish and English songs.
Rev. Peterson, who Is a member Of
the chorus, says that for some time
members Of the organization have been
interested in paying the Island a visit
He says that their coming will prove
q wonderful advertising medium, espe-
cially II there happens to be plenty Of
strawberries and cream available at
that date.
It is happy coincidence that this
trip Of the large number who will ac-
company the singers will no doubt be
made on the new ferry, the first Sun
day Of its operation.
It cannot yet be announced where
the concert will be held, as the leader
will visit the Island in a short time
to look over all available places, and
decide upon the one most suitable.
That this concert will bring out one
of the largest audiences, ever assem-
bled on the Island is foregone COLI
clusion, for the Sangerfests of the
Northwest have established the repu-
tatioH Of Scandinavian chorubes.
Fuller details viii be available in a
short time, but in the meantime the
local plans will have 10 be perfected
for the entertainment Of these men
and their families who will come to us
for that day as our guests.

He tries to keep from being crushed,

What would crush him, mother?
Cars going by on the dock.
What Is a dock, mother?
A place to smell fish, honey.
Why do men walk on such docksp
They cannot fly, darling.
DO all men like to smell fish, mother?
Not for pleasure, dear.
What Is pleasure, mother?
Some day you'll know, child
But when, and how and where,
Ask the dock-makers, little one.
Mother may not live to see the day,
But she Is full Of hope.

ance prohibits any concession operat-
ing on the dock, but comfortable
room will be built, with man in
charge of the ticket office who will
be able to give tourists information
concerning the Island and Olympic

Captain Andersen states that his
company fully realize the importance
of the business on this run, and ere
anxious to serve acceptably to the
fullest extent.
The new schedule to go into effect
May Bird shows conclusively the i'm
portance of this line of operation. Five
years ago the ferry made three trips

to these original three trips into
Marion street eleven trips will be made
on week days, twelve on Saturday and
thirteen on Sunday during the sum-
mer, showing immense increase in
traffic durin that period Of time AS
soon as the new ferry is in operation

In addition to the company's con-
sideration OF the people of the Island

passengers for cambridge Island that
are to be benefited by any improve

pany notified Mr.. Emil Miller that

ed Although the information was
given out generally only yesterday
several candidates have been suggested
and several are at work In behalf Of
their favorites.

number of votes will be honored by
the Transportation Company In some
manner to be announced later. Under
the chaperonage of Mrs. E, H. Miller

will receive considerable amount Of
very desirable attention and publicity.

ton that the polling places will be:

vashon streets to BE Paved

This week the work was begun Of
tearing up the streets of Vashon, pre-
paratory To paving. The work Of
blowing and grading is being carried
on SO quickly that traffic is being
hiiidcred very little, and although a
few Of the very young have tried to
go through the young mountains occa-
sionally raised, without shifting from
high, as yet there have been no casu-
alties.
The streets through the village will
be graded and leveled, the sidewalks
In front Of the buildings taken cut,
and the pavement will extend entirely
from one side Of the street to the
other. 1t will extend from the north
end of We!ss's store as far south as the
movie house.
This will be great improvement
to the village and has been made pos
sible by the enterprise of the property
owners along the street.
Washed sand and gravel for the con-
crete is to be furnished locally from
the new Sherman pit in Paradise
Valley. The concrete will be mixed at
the pit, brought the village and
dumped. Thus a great saving Of time
and expense will be effected.
The work is being done under the
able direction of road foreman Ruhlen,
with crew Of six Island men.
It is anticipated that with no bad
luck the Job will be completed in less
than three weeks.

The contest will close at 10 p M

bulletin will be posted at the polling
places announcing the progress Of the

Candidates must be between high
school age and twenty-five. So far
the candidates that have been an
nounced are girls in high school, but
this does not disqualify an older girl
The main essential is that the sup
porters Of each and every candidate
work as hard and as early as possible
and that we get as much fun and
satisfaction as possible from the con.
test. vashon Island has repeatedly
demonstrated good craftsmanship In
such matters, and it goes without say.

its SO doing.

entire voting, and will keep the News.

At meeting OF the Commercial
Club Tuesday evening Captain
John Anderson spoke at length
on the ferry situation, outlining
the manner in which his company
will cooperate with the people of
the Island in their effort to secure
better dock facilities.
The Marion street dock is entirely
under the control of the Port Com
mission, who are responsible for the
reprehensible condition of affairs now
existing Capt. Andersen agrees heart
lily that the fish market to the south
and the lunch room to the north of the
slip should be entirely done away with,
and the slip widened so that the
ferry could be unloaded two cars at
time. II this Is accomplished the
Kitsap transportation Company will
blank an overhead walk through to
the Grand Trunk Dock so that in
stead of the miserable little excuse of
waiting room we are now using we
would have the fine waiting room In
the other dock This would enable
foot passengers to leave the boat at
the same time the cars are leaving
and neither would be held up for the
other.
Captain Andersen wishes the people
of vashon Island to know that Their
company is no way responsible for the
existing conditions. He admitted that
they had become hardened, and used
to the present state Of affairs, and
that It had taken jolt, such as the
recent editorials in the News-Recoro
and Seattle Times to awaken them te
the needs of those whom they are
serving.
The improvements now being made
on the Fauntleroy dock are being madt
entirely by the Company, the county
not bearing any of the expenses. Tht
Fauntleroy dock is being widened ane

Ioganberry Beetle contrel Di,eover.t


It has ben called to our attention
that NJ. Matsuda, of Lisabeula, after
four years Of experimenting has dis
covered a way of controlling the To-
cranberry beetle that is absolutely
sure.
The spray, composed Of pound fish
soap, and pound Of arsenate of lead,
mixed with thirty gallon of water,
should be applied this week or the first
Of the next, during which time the
beetles are most active, and on the
bushes in large numbers. This spray
should be applied once day for three
days.
Mr.. Matsuda feels that instead OF
reaping any personal bentfit from the
success of his study and investigation
he will feel amply rewarded II other
berry growers profit by his experience

SHARKEY-CAMPOLO
co TO Be FAILURE
Estimated $4,000 viii Be
Lost by Management
in Thursdays Show.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, September 23.-Vic-
M torio Campolo, whose attempts
Y to emulate the spectacular feats
Of his compatriot. Luis Angel
Firpo, have met with failure 80 far, gets
his big chance to crash his way into
the list of outstanding heavyweight con-
tenders Thursday night. His oppor-
tunity comes in q 15-round bout with
Jack Sharkey at the Yankee Stadium,
but the experts are predicting that he
will muff 1t.
Campolo is q crude workman In the
ring, and close observers of flstic form
see no reason why Sharkey should not
beat him handily. The Argentine giant
is big, strong and game, but he has
shown nothing in this country to war
rant any prediction that he can hold
his own with as polished ringster as
Sharkey.
Campolo can hit with his right hand,
but not with the crushing effect OF
Firpo, nor can he rush in with the fine
disregard of consequences that marked
the wild Bulls" spectacular American
career.
Sharkey himself has been none too
impressive In his workouts here He
has been sluggish and careless, perhaps
because he figures he can whip the Ar
gentine without much trouble. If the
match is a crucial one for Campolo, it
is equally so for Sharkey. One more
disappointing showing by the Boston
sailor quite probably will end forever
any future 100000 guarantees such as
he demanded and received for this
battle.
The gate" is not expected to exceed
Sharkey's guarantee. Some estimates
placed Madison Square Gardens prob
able loss at $4,000.
