Local Barreling Plant
Is Now In Operation

There seems to be no indication of
a depression, or OF lack of faith in
the future of the barreling industry,
at the b. D. Mukai plant, for 1t is
buster than ever this season, and this
with the activities Just starting.
In the fields there are about 40
pickers engaged during the day in
picking the berries which at night are
taken care of by crew of l6. The
employees are cosmopolitan mixture
of races, and visit to the plant, par
ticularly in the evening, is well worth
taking the time for
Grouped around, divided as to race
and color usually, one finds pre-
dominance of Indians and F'ilipinos,
with an intermixture of Japanese and
Whites. Among the Indians there are
two tribes, between which there is a
sharp line of demarcation. This year,
for the benefit of the employees Mr..
Mukai has new feature, that of
handling groceries. The young lady
in charge of selling these to the pick
ers seems to find much diversion in
solving the problems of just what the
different individuals require. She
states that chief of one of the tribes
of Indians always stands by ready to
help by interpreting,
New Machinery Efficient.
The new machinery, installed the
past winter is working with 100 per-
cent efficiency. The stemmed berries
are dumped into water that is con-
stantly agitaued, pass under seven
water sprays, and are carried up and
past twelve girls who work at top
speed, removing from them leaves,
stems, etc., that may have been over
looked in the picking. Aside from the
removal of foreign matter from the
berries they are not touched by human
hands. They are carried into the
barrels; the sugar is added auto
matically in the proportion of one part
of sugar to two Of berries; the berries
are packed down into the barrel by
the motion of the platform upon
which it rests; it is finally weighed
headed, then shipped to the storage
plant of the Port of Seattle. On
Tuesday, in the first shipment of fruit
there were 40 barrels. The plant has
A capacity of 300 barrels day.
While the market is uncertain, and
the price Of barreled berries the los-
est it has been since the war, Mr..
Mukai has not changed his plans for
the output of the season and is buying
berries from a number of the Island
fields in addition to the output of his
own mammoth fields.

INSTALL EQUIPMENT TO
CLEAN GOOSEBERRIEs

To the small growers OF the Island
who do not have enough acreage of
gooseberries to warrant the purchase
OF a blower to clean their fruit the
recent addition of such equipment to
the depot of the local Fruit Growers
Association represents real conven-
fence.
This machine cleans the berries of
all loose leaves, twigs, ETC., leaving
them clean and ready for the cannery.
The Association has begun in rea,
earnest for the season, and each day
is shipping gooseberries and straw
berries. The crop of the latter ber-
ries is reported as being much lighter
than usual all over the Island.

Power Company
Lays New Cable

VA cable insuring complete and M
interrupted electrical service tt
Vashon Island was laid Monday BY
the cableship william Nottingham o.
the Puget Sound Power g. Light Com.
pany.
The cable laid this week is dupli.
cate of one which has been in service
TO the Island for several years, and
will be operated in parallel with the
existing cable.
IN laying the new cable, the COM
pany was simply taking steps to guar
antee to the residents of Vashon Is
land that their service will continue
OF all times to be as good as that
furnished on the mainland Jeff L.
Alexander, division manager of the
Central District Of the power COM
pany, said, while one cable is ade-
quate in capacity to serve the island,
it was felt that duplicate transmission
facilities were necessary to prevent
any possibility of service Interrupt
tions.'
The work of laying the cable was
carried out under the direction Of F.
E. Fisher. The new cable is of the
most approved Submarine type, three
and three-eightils inches in diameter
and designed to carry load at 1900
volts. The eastern terminal of the
cables is at Des Moines, where last
summer the power company construct
ed two duplicate substations to serve
the Island.
The new cable, $4,000 feet in length.
reaches the shore of vashon Island
north of Robinson's Point.
1t took just an hour and thirty
minutes to lay the cable. A large
crew, working on the deck of the
cableship, paid out the massive, ar,
mored cable as the ship proceeded
across the Sound. Another hour was
consumed in connecting the cable end
with shore transmission lines
B. R. Shut, superintendent of dis.
tribution, declared that interruption
of service is now virtually impossible.
I'VE shall be able to repair one
cable at leisure, while the entire load
is shifted to the other. whenever such
work is necessary" he said, "operat-
ing together at $500 volts the two
cables will at all times meet any de-
mand that can possibly be made for
service on the island

WHO SAID 1T FIRsTg

Verify your quotations" is the adj
vice of someone, but the advice Is
sometimes difficult to follow. In the
case of many famous sayings it is
hard to find out who really said them
first There are many instances of
striking phrases which have been at
tributed to prominent persons who
had really borrowed them from Others
For example, Lincoln's reference to
q government of the people, by the
people, and for the people Almost
identical words were used by. John
Wycliffe in the 14th century, and by
Robespierre, Thomas Cooper, Joseph
Story, Daniel Webster and Theodore
Parker long before Lincoln uttered
them at Gettysburg.
Even the Golden Rule, which sp-
pears in two forms in the New Testa-
rnent was expressed by Confucius five
centuries before Christ, and by other
ancient teachers.
Perhaps the most catchy phrase ever
uttered by the late William Jennings
Bryan contained his crown of thorns
and cross of gold metaphor, which is
credited with securing his nomination
for the presidency in 1896. 1t has been
and still is generally believed that the
phrase was original with Bryan, but
the Congressional Record shows that
1t was spoken by Congressman Samuel
W. Mccall in speech several months
before.
No one whose words have been APP
propriated by another could have
shown better spirit towards his irni-
tator than Mccall showed toward
Bryan in this instance, When qucs-
toned about 1t later, Mccall said:
Eyes, Bryan borrowed It from one
Of my congressional speeches. And
probably I stole it from somebody
else"

Island Citizen
Takes Own Life

Neighbors and friends were deeply
shocked and grieved to learn that on
Friday night Fred Rose had taken his
own life. Although he had been In
poor health for some time Mr.. Rose
had given no indication that he con-
templated the act. He was in no par
ticular financial difficulty; his little
farm west of vashon was in excellent
condition, with prospects of good
crop. Even his own family knew of
no reason.
About ten o'clock Mrs. Rose missed
her husband and called her son to
look for him when he failed to answer
her call He found his father in the
barn, where he had hung himself from
ladder not more than seven feet
high. Although it was evident that he
had committed the fatal act only a
few minutes before all efforts to re-
vive him failed.
Mr.. Rose enjoyed more than the Or
binary amount of regard of the people
who have come to know him since he
arrived on the Island from Minnesota
eight years ago. He purchased the old
Geo. MCLEAN place west of vashon,
worked hard, and with the help Of his
wife improved it in every way, until
it is today one of the most prosperous
farms on the Island. H5
Mr.. Rose was native Of Canada,
born October 9, 1876. He came to the
U. S. when a child, and lived in
Minnesota until coming to the Island.
Surviving are his wife and four chill
dren, his aged mother, three brothers
and one sister.
Funeral services were held from the
Rose home Monday afternoon, Rev. E.
G. Randall officiating. Interment was
in the family lot in the vashon ceme-
terry, by the side Of the father, Geo.
Rose, who passed away last June.
