TRAFFIC MENACE REMOVED

A few weeks ago, while the paving
OF Vashon was in progress, the editor
mentioned to Road Supervisor Wiltse
the desirability Of cutting away the
bsnk obstructing the view of the high
way al the point where the Cove road
enters 1t. Mr.. Wiltse admitted that he
had not particularly noticed this bad
spot but promised to look into the mat
ter at once and see what could be done
He was given information as to the
owner, arid assured that Abe Abra-
hansen was the kind Of citizen that
would be willing to help out for the
public good. IS
This week the road force. with ne
cessary machinery, went to work. and
now the offending bump on che land
scape, With It's menace To motorists
has been leveled OFF, and q full view OIL
the highway to the north is now af-
forded to all driving in from the side
road.
The News-Record wishes to express
appreciation not only Of the actor
taken by the officials but also Of the
man who without hesitation gave then
the liberty Of doing with. his property
what they pleased for the public safety

To Oil Burton Portage
EIisport Roads

A movement, originating with the
Burton Improvement Club will result
in q greatly improved condition Of a
part of the unpaSed portion of the
highway.
BY popular subscription enough
money has been secured to have the
roads oiled from the Burton dock To
the telephone office, and from the
pioneers monument at Quarterinas-
ter to Portage and Ellisport. The re-
Spouse has been so much greater than
was at first anticipated that instead
Of merely the road from Newport to
the dock being oiled this much greater
section Is to be covered.
Captain John Anderson, OF the Kit
sap County Transportation has again
demonstrated his fine public spirit and
his friendliness toward Vashon Island
by giving free transportation TO the
trucks and oil, thus saving a corsid-
cradle amount for additional oiling.
Dusty highways do not just at pres
ent seem possoble, but in short time,
during the hot weather this improved
condition will be mighty good adj
rvertisement for the Island More
power to the organization and indi-
viduals that have brought about this
movement in The right direction.

CARNIVAL PLANS PROGRESSING


Plans are moving ahead rapidly for
the carnival to be held at the Island
Club, July 18th and 10th, under the
auspices of the vashon Business Mems
Club.
The fun will begin Friday evening,
the main attraction that evening being
the merry-go--round, to which the
children, large and small each year
look forward. On Saturday, with
practically all local talent in charge,
the carnival will be in full swing.
This aggregation of men have shown
a steady improvement in Turing the
dimes and nickles from wary spenders,
until they have become so proficient
that we yearly expect to see them for
saking their native haunts to start q
carnival company of their own.
All money realized from the project,
as usual, will be used on the Islano.
The exact manner in which 1t will be
spent has not as yet been definitely
decided, but, 1t will be for some Island
Improvement.
The only thing lacking now is the
assurance of the weather man that the
18th and 10th will bring us rea, car
nival weather, for no one can have a
really hilarious time, and develop a
real carnival spirit dressed in fur
coat to keep from freezing, SO let's all
order some honest truthly surnmer
weather for the occasion.

IMPROVEMENT OF POWER LINE

Work has been started on improving
the lines Of the power and light COM
pany, and arrangements are being
made whereby the lighting and DOM
estic circuit will be unaffected by the
use Of the heavy load demanded for
the operation Of large motors. This
work when completed will insure an
even current despite any demand
and will do away with the annoyance
occasloned by the short power at the
peak Of the demand. Housewives viii
particularly appreciate this improve
inent.
Between Jnne SOth and July Srd the
power will be cut off each morning
between the hours Of q and $50. Thus
the only ones who will be inconven-
fenced are the employees Of the COM
pany who will have to get out In the
wee, small hours 80 that the patrons
will not be inconvenienoed

JosEpHINE DAY

With the passing last Saturday, June
81, Of Mrs. VIM. Day, the Island has
lost another Of its old settlers, q
woman respected by all who knew her.
Josephine Elmira Nelson was born
in Wapaka County, Wisconsin. Novern-
Der Goth, 1850. When she was about
eight years Of age the family moved to
southern Wisconsin where they lived
for many years Here the daughter,
Josephine, grew up, was educated and
took her place in the community as a
teacher for several years preceding her
marriage to William A. Day, which
took place March IS. 1887
Early in 1908, with their one child,
Mr.. and Mrs. Day came west, to
vashon Island, buying within few
weeks of their arrival the present home
west of Center. They knew the Joys
and sorrows Of life under the con-
ditions existing in those days Mr.. Day
passed away in 1910, leaving his wife
and daughter who still continued to
live in the new home, instead Of re-
turning to relatives in the east.
For the past two years Mrs. Day has
suffered from poor health and during
that time her daughter, Mrs. Billie,
has tenderly cared for her mother
For the past several months Mrs. Day,
a patient sufferer at all times, has
been confined to her bed, her pain be-
ling mede as bearable as love and de-
votion, could make it. With her at the
end were her daughter and her six
children, and sister Mrs. Prior, OF
Seattle. Death came as a welcome re-
lease from suffering.
Funeral services were held Tuesday
afternoon from the Garvin chapel
Rev. H. G. Ward officiating. Mrs
Blekkink and Mrs. Steen sang two
duets, hymns that have long comforted
the sorrowing. Burial was In the
Island cemetery
Mrs. Day is survived by her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Otie Billie, six grandchildren
a sister, Mrs Vina R. Prior Of Seattle
q brother In New York, one In Wiscon-
sin and one in California, as well as
the group Of friends who have known
and respected her during her long
residence here.

TWO MEN HAD NARROW
ESCAPE FROM SEWERS

Trapped in st. Peters. main street
sewer, 90 feet below the surface when
the sudden downpour on Monday
visited the town, liver Benson and Ole
Anderson miraculously escaped with
their lives, says the St. Peter Herald.
1t was the most narrowing expert
ence the two men ever had and they
say they will never forget it.
1--WE saw the storm approaching"
Mr.. Benson said, land we went down
to anchor the, planking we were us
ing in the main sewer while it was
being cleaned out. We had not been
down five minutes when the rush of
water started. We were so feet
north of the manhole when the water
began to rise, and before we could
rush to our only means of escape,
the rushing stream was almost to our
arm pits. Worst of all, a cataract of
water was gushing down the manhole
through which we must escape, pour
ing in from the four corner storm
sewers of the street We grabbed the
rungs and started upward, holding
our breaths. When / got through to
air, | was about ready to drop, but
the fear of impending drowning
spurred me to last effort that prov
ed successful. Had we been a few
feet further away from the manhole
we never would have made it,

Be Sure It's a
Male Pheasant
Attorney General UphOlds the
Legality of No Hunting
Notices

"Be sure it is male pheasant"
warns Game Warden J. Albert john
son, to hunters who will take to the
fields on October Is, and from then
on until November l inclusive.
The law permits the taking of
three male ringneck pheasants in one
day and prohibits shooting hen
pheasants. One may have IL such
birds in possession, and the season
limit is Is birds.
Because pheasants seemed to be
plentiful in Redwood county the re-
cent proclamation of the governor
which restricted shooting in some
counties, does not affect the regular
season as provided by law.
The best duck hunting in years is
the result of the drouth this sum-
mer, George M. Mccullough, game
and fish commissioner, said recently.
Dried sloughs have forced migratory
birds to concentrate on the remain
ing bodies of water. There are more
blue wing teal than for the past five
or six seasons being that cold nights
have been so few. The teal start
their migration with the first frost.
No hunting signs are legal in an
opinion handed out by the State At
torney Generals office in reply to the
Gibbon Gazette. Some hunters had
the mistaken notion that the prac-
tice was illegal, and that by posting
of such notices the land would auto
matically become a game reserve
thus prohibiting hunting, even by the
owners.
Hunting on land is unlawful ex
cept by owner after posted or ora
notice to do so. Such notice does no
make the land a game reserve Of
subject to the designation as such,
says w. H. Gurnee, Assistant Attor
ney General.
