Time was that local consumers had
the idea that the only good peaches
produced in the state came from the
east of the mountains, but this theory
has been exploded this year by the
marvellous fruit that is being grown
right here.
The peaches produced on the High
land Park ranch went like the pro-
verbal hot cakes. Mr. Morgan dis
posed Of practically his entire crop
locally. One of the Seattle department
stores used few boxes for experiment.
al purposes In their canned foods de-
partment and have asked for the en-
tire next years output.
G. W. Kolstad, an experienced
orchardist, felt that there was no
reason why Vashon Island should not
produce good peaches, and three years
ago last November set out 100 Rochest-
er peach trees on an acre of his little
ranch south of Center. Soil and drain
age conditions in his orchard are ideal.
The trees have had the best of care
with the result that Mr.. Kolstad is this
year rewarded with splendid crop.
The 100 young trees have yielded $50
boxes of fruit practically all of which
has been disposed of locally at a
price higher than eastern Washington
peaches are bringing on the mainland.
Several experimental orders have re-
suited in repeat orders after consumers
have discovered how superior the Is
land fruit is to the peaches grown east
of the mountains and picked before
thoroughly ripened.
Instead of picking the fruit clean
from the trees Mr.. Kolstad picks only
that which is well ripened, thus the
peaches he is marketing have the
superior flavor of tree ripening.
Vashon Island fruit has become
known through the superiority of its
berries, but with the successful raising
of sour cherries, and now the enthus-
iasm that is being felt for the posi-
bilities of peach raising here 1t would
seem that the orchardist has a variety
of choice.

Lisabeula to Vote on
Consolidation Sept. 2

To the patrons of District 81. Lisa
beula, and oil, the new district recent
ly formed by the consolidation of Bur-
ton and Southern Heights, will be sub
mitted the proposition of consolidation.
The election will take place Tuesday,
September 2, from a to p. m. Patrons
of the new district will vote at the old
Burton grammar school, while Lisa
beula patrons will vote at the Lisabeula
school,
Should this proposition meet with
the approval of the majority of the
voters it would mean that all of the
grade pupils of Vashon Island south of
the Center district would attend school
in the building formerly used for the
Burton high school. Instead of the
maintenance of three buildings, as in
years past, there would be the main
tenance of only one. Instead of one
teacher having to instruct a small
group of pupils in all eight grades it
would mean that the work of teaching
would be divided among four teachers.
In many cases pupils of these schools
last winter walked, or were privately
transported, several miles, while if the
consolidation becomes effective there
will be bus service for all.
Up to the present time these schools
have always had a special school tax
while with a consolidation no special
tax would be necessary, as the regular
ten mill school levy would take care
Of the expenses of operation.
Should the two districts unite the
present boards of directors would con-
tinue to serve until the expirations of
their terms, then the new members
would be selected one from each unit
Of the consolidated district.
1t Is particularly urged that all
patrons whether favorably disposed, or
otherwise, give the subject serious con-
sideration, and express themselves
through their vote
Remember the date, Tuesday, Sep
TENDER End, from to p. M, at the
Burton grammar school and at the
Lisabeula school house.

four lower grades. While Mrs. Lee has
not taught previously on the Island

in the Seattle schools that her pro-
fesional reputation is well recognized
locally. With personality that makes
