when the street lights were again

Tim Clark took several hours off and
solicited those who had not yet gotten
around to paying their assessment.
With his usual persuasive power he
convinced all the delinquents, and re-
ports to us that all but three residents
have made their payment. knowing as
they do that he is responsible for the
full amount MIR. Clark feels sure that
before many days pass the entire
amount will be in his hands.
With few exceptions Mr.. Clark found
that failure to pay had been due mere
ly to negligence, and that all who were
solicited were willing to pay their share
for our street lights.

Tuesday night number Of friends
gathered at the home Of Q. F. Van
Olinda at Portage for the purpose of
urging Mr. Van Olinda to enter the
race OF the coming republican primary
election for state representative from
the 4Oth district.
Much interest is centered on the
possibility of electing a representative
this year from Vashon Island. and the
selection of man on which the whole
Island might unite, taking into con-
sideration also the capability Of the
man as a representative.
After considerable discussion Of the
subject of an Island candidate Mr..
Van Olinda was prevailed upon to run
for the office, and was asked for a
statement. During the course Of his
short talk he agreed to do so.
Two previous Island candidates for
the legislature have met defeat. But
this year the political situation
throughout the district seems to favor
an Island man who can muster
liberal home support. There are three
representatives to be elected in this
district Only one Of the three who
served in the last session will be a
candidate for reelection, he is L. Y.
Williams of Kent. One is deceased and
tho otheris holding a federal position.
This Is In Itself significant. Two new
members must be elected, giving the
Island aspirant an equal chance with

Dock Situation to bePresented
AT Commercial Club Tuesday

ate the advantage of our ferry
system, but for the sake of our self
respect, and the future progress Of
the Island these dock conditions
should be corrected. This will not
happen, however, until the people
of the island arise to the need and
do something more than Just talk.
There is to be meeting Of the
Commercial Club next Tuesday
evening. No doubt this subject
will be brought up. There are
residents of the Island who are not
members of the Commercial Club
who know the desirability and
necessity for improved dock con-
ditions. Whether you are an ardent
Club member or not 1t is the duty
of every one interested in the well
fare of the Island to express his or
her sentiments on this subject.
This Island is part of the United
States, and the Constitution holds
good here, with its blessing OF free
speech. In this case the freer the
speech the better. Never was there
a community more blessed with
organizations than ours. Practic-
ally everyone on the Island be-
longs TO two or three. If you are
not a member Of the Commercial
Club and don't feel like getting
up and talking there, then for the
sake Of our common good let's be-
gin to get action in every other
organization on the Island. We
all remember from our youth that
classic uttered by the Walrus in
t"Alice, in Wonderland" 1.-THE time
has come the Walrus said, to talk
of many things, ships and shoes,
and sealing wax, And cabbages and
kings If every organization,
from the Junior League to the
Fruit Growers Association gets to
talking and doing it won't be long
until we will have what we need.
We talk lot about cooperation,
and what 1t means to commun-
ity. There never was a better time
than now to test 1t out.
Next week we will deal editorial
ly-with concrete facts on this sub
ject. There are plenty of them
available. and if there are any
suggestions any one has to offer
we will gladly accept them.

The artist made pictures that charm

breeze in each brooklet and dell,
His grass, trees and flowers breathed
fragrance and beauty, but, though
they were lovely his work wouldn't
sell; SO when he grew practical, driven
by hunger, he made his trees purple,
grass black and flowers green, and
grew rich in his school jammed with
wierd looking students and pictures
of objects none ever had seen!
EUREKA
He longed for popularity,
And lay awake at night,
Devising ways and means to make
The title his by right.
He gave advice and critised.
Reproving right and left:
He jerred and ridiculed until
OF all his friends bereft.
Then great achievement he essayed,
| To help his fellow man,
But hate and envy reached him there
And forced q shrewder plan.
So now he's popular beyond
| His fondest hopes, because
No matter why or when or where,
! He only gives applause.

Candidate for StateLegislatue

The fortieth legislative district In
cludes that part of King County south
Of Three Tree Point on the mainland
and vashon-Maury Island. Kent,
Auburn and Enumclaw are the three
centers of population in the district.
So it is plain to be seen that the Is
land must concentrate its support on
the home candidate to give him fair
chance Of election.
At the meeting Tuesday night the
whole field was surveyed thoroughly
and in business-like manner, and
taking everything into consideration,
all those present were very enthusiastic
over the chances for 'Vashon Island to
be represented In the coming session
of the legislature. A few stressed the
necessity of getting the local candidate
into the field early as things political
are taking on shape in other localities.
Following the meeting Mr. Van olinda
issued the following signed statement
for publication:
Believing that the Island is entitled
to legislative representation and that
this is the opportune year to secure
such representation; trusting in the
sincere enthusiasm of many friends
and neighbors who have urged me to
become candidate for representative,
I have decided to enter the race and
exert every consistent effort toward
favorable consideration by the voters
Of the Fortieth District in the Septem-
Der primary election.
