Tia Beso1 en To
Be Miss Vashon

Miss liza Besbnen, popular student at
the Vashon Island high school has
been chosen TO represent the vashon
Island COMMERCIAL Club at the Con-
solidateci South District Commercial
Club banquet TO be held at the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce Friday evening,
January %. Each club in the South
District has selected charming young
lady, and from the group of girls the
entrants themselves will select a queen
who will beir the title Miss South
End" for thd coming year. with all Of
the honors due such title.
liza is not only a charming, attrac-
tive girl, but she is capable as well.
Despite the fact that she is active in
every line Of school activities, plays in
the orchestra, takes part in athletics
is member Of the debating club, ETC.,
all this does not prevent her from
maintaining such a high average in
her school work that her name is on
the honor roll for good scholarship
With it all liza is doing her part in
keeping the home running in good
order during her mothers recent ILL
ness. Which all goes to show that our
Island is not going to be represented
by a girl who is merely pretty, but by
one that possesses lot of other de-
sirable qualifications.
A party of Island people, probably
about twenty. will occupy table at
the banquet that will be decorated in
some way to let other guests know that
there not only is such a place as
Vashon-M aury Island, but that we
have very great interest in the South
| District
Each year the banquet of the Con-
solidated South District Commercial
Club grows, and 1t is the big annual
get-togdther to which hundreds look
forward Excellent speakers, good en-
tertainihent, and an informal, genuine
good time has popularized the affair
to such a degree that each year the
attendance has grown greatly. Last
year several hundred more tickets were
sold than had been planned on, but MT
one went away disappointed. From al
reports the banquet this year will sur
pass previous ones in all respects.

Taylor Passes

Sarah Albertina Saunders was born
at Oswego, New York on May 9th,
1857 and spent most of her childhood
and young womanhood short dis
lance from there at Corning, New
York. After graduating from the
Corning Free Academy she taught in
the public schools for eleven years, the
latter part of which period she was
principal OF one of the schools of
Hastings, Neb.
At the latter place she married
Charles D. Taylor on January 25th,
1888. They moved to Seattle, Wash,
in April, 1891 and have lived there
and on Vashon Island ever since, eX-
cept nine years spent at Juneau,
Alaska.
Mrs. Taylor has been in i'll health
for a number of years, and in this re-
gard was shut-in. So far as she was
able she took a share in any general
work for the good of the community
and churches of her locality. While
firm in her opinions of what was right
she had the happy faculty of clearly
expressing them without offense to
anyone.
Early in life she united with the
Episcopal church, and was con-

Mrs. Taylor passed away at her
home in Burton, Friday evening,
January 9th, being in the 74th year of

break down which she had fought for
more than four months

brother, David P. Saunders, promin-
ent resident of Brush, Colo, and a
sister, Mrs. Helen Obertufer, of Corn
ing, N. Y.

day, January 18th, with the Episcopal
service conducted by Rev. M. MCLEAN
Goldie, Episcopal minister of Port
Angeles, who has home at Burton,
and has been a sincere friend of Mr.
and Mrs. Taylor.
The lovely floral offerings sent by
friends here and in Seattle attested
to the love they felt for her, and u
remembrance of almost passionate
love of flowers during her life.
Mrs. Taylor was laid to rest in the
vashon cemetery. At the close of the
Episcopal burial service, after day
of rain and Clouds the sky opened
and the western sun seemed to add Q
last blessing to well-spent life.

WYOMING SHEEP MAN
BUYS PROPERTY HERE

Mrs. Nettie Whittemore was on the
Island Friday attending to business
matters. Mrs. Whittemore recently
sold her Island property to James
Laidlow, of Casper, Wyo., and Mr.. and
Mrs. Laidlow are already settled and
feeling much at home on the West
Side.
Mr.. Laidlow, native of Scotland,
spent many years in Wyoming in the
! sheep business. Too long in high
altitude made it necessary for him to
seek a lower one. He and his wife
came to Seattle about year ago and
have been seeking location ever
since. One visit to the Island con-
WINGED him that this was the place in
which he would be content, so here
they are, already bona fide Island
residents, and just the kind of people
we need to help build up our COM
munity.

Accepts Position With
U. 5. Forest Service

1t has just come to our attention
that Professor Burt P. Kirkland has
been offered, and has accepted posi-
tion as principal forest economist with
the U. s. Forest Service. The position
we understand, not only represents a
very substantial promotion in salary,
but it also gives an opportunity for
research in field in which he has
long been interested and is already
known internationally within his pro-
fession. In this work he will be in
close contact with the Timber Con-
servation Board recently appointed by
President Hoover, with the Farm
Board, and with the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics. His duties will
not be taken up regularly until he
completes his work with the uni
versity next June, but he was already
called to Washington for confer
ence, during the Christmas holidays.
The first studies are to be in the Pa
ClliC NOIIIlWcoU, WuclC lulIIicI WOIh
will be carried on from time to time,
although his principal headquarters
will be established in Washington, D.
c. during the summer.
Professor Kirkland has maintained
a residence at Vashon since 1911, and
expects to maintain a family home
here in the future. He tells us that
the more he sees Of other places the
more he believes that Vashon Island
is one of the finest residential loca-
tons in the beautiful setting of Puget
Sound, but to the fine quality of its
people. He says that on his recent
trip to the Atlantic Coast, although
the weather was mild, the country was
brown and lifeless until he returned
to the evergreen fields and forests of
the Puget Sound region.
Mr.. Kirkland has always taken an
active interest in the economic and
industrial progress of the Island. His
family has always been equally in
terested in Island affairs, and will
spend as much time here as possible
in the future.
