Much of the goldfish stock has been
moved and Jack E. Moy is getting
established on his own place on the
mainland, located 10 miles from Rem
ton on the Maple Valley highway.
The former owner engaged in trout

is now being moved to the new place.
The pools here will be used for sur

Jack has had lot of valuable ex-
perience in the handling of orna-
mental fish, water plants and aquaria

plant of his own and given normal
market conditions he will make sue
cess of the business. Fish from the
Twickenham Water Gardens are in
demand over a broad field, as Mr..
Moy is one Of the largest importers
in the West, able to supply varieties

fiEBER WARD ACTS AS OWN
ATTORNEY FOR DEFENSE

Again the perennial litigation be-
tween Richard dowen and resident
OF Ellisport has made Its appearance
in King County courts, despite the
fact that Gowen has been enjolned
from bringing further suit on the sub
ject Of ownership Of the streets Of
Elllsport. Since the time he was thus
cnjoined he has been successful in
getting several cases into court.
The latest case, which has been on
the calendar for months, was finally
brought to trial in Judge Roscoe
Smiths court last Thursday.
Gowen brought suit against Hebes
Ward for 5000 for alleged removal Of
wood from the streets OF Ellisport.
Ward acted as his own attorney In the
case, and presented his arguments 80
well that Judge Smith dismissed the
case with costs Of suit charged against
Gowen.

Local Bakery Under
New Management

Last week deal was completed
whereby the vashon Island Bakery
was purchased by Louis 5tockmeyer
OF Gle Elum.
Mr.. Stockmeyer requested that ne
announcement Of the change o.
ownership be made until he had com.
pletely overhauled and renovated the
bakery, and had everything arranged
In the manner he wanted 1t. Thit
work has now been completed.
A native OF Germany he was taught
the business Of deliccatessen cookery
In youth, and upon coming to this
country found himself we'll adapted for
kindred work. Mr.. Stockmeyer has
had extensive experience In large
hotels In Miami, and In New York He
has worked In half Of the states Of
the Union, but II was not until he
found vashon Island that he has
owned shop Of his own.
For the past four and one-half years
he has worked In Gle Elum, In compe-
tition with bakeries In Spokane,
Seattle and Yakima shipping goods
into the town. His reputation is that
his products have never suffered by
comparison.
BY those who have known him for o
number Of years Mr.. stockmeyer is re-
spected as not only a mighty good
baker, but man of worth, as well.
He feels sure that with his faith in
the Island he can furnish the people
honest, Wholesome bakery goods that
will stand the test and comparison
with any other products on the
market.
Homer Brehm, the young man as
sisting Mr.. stockmeyer states that he
was born and reared in bakery, and
his knowledge of the business indi-
Gated would lead one to believe that
he told the truth.
The new operators of the bakery ask
only that tho Island people give their
goods fair trial, feeling confident
that they can give as good or better
products than their competitors. They
are making no plea for loyalty, asking
only chance to bid for the Island
business.

For Forest Work

Unemployed men wishing to engage
In the reforestation projects In ma
tional forests Of this state should
register with the work clerk OF the
King County Welfare Board for this
district, w. D. Shannon, welfare COM
missioner, announced.
Single men, between the ages Of 10
and rs years, who are at present re-
ceiving relief, are to be given first OPP
portunity at this work. Full details
Of the program and the means by
which 1t will be put into effect have
not yet been announced but are ex-
pected shortly.
Only men who have been receiving
aid from relief agencies will be taken
on the first unit of $500 men, 1t was
stated yesterday. This group will be
split up and sent to Fort Lawton,
Vancouver Barracks and Fort Wright,
Spokane, to begin training on or be-
fore next Tuesday.
Unemployed men, not on relief at
present. may also apply to the work
clerk but their applications will not
be honored until those on relief have
been taken care of. No one will be
considered for future Jobs In the re-
forestation army without first having

Mr.. Shannon also announced an in
crease in payment to self-help groups
engaged in wood-cutting operations to
81 per cord, as compared to the previ-
GUS payment Of $3.50 cord.
In announcing the increased rate,
Mr.. Shannon said the new payment
plan would only compensate for in
creased gasoline costs and longer
hauls resulting from a cut-back timber
line, but will also provide slightly
greater margin over cost to the I'M
employed groups.
Approximately 10000 cords of alder
and fir fuel In fourfoot lengths will be
bought up for relief work next fall and
winter. Payment for this work Is
made in cash.

Senate Bill No. 1928
Now Under Fire

movement has been launched for
the purpose OF petitioning REFER
endum Of Chapter 81, Session Laws
1888 lie. Senate Bill 129, which permits
cities and towns to go into the power
business outside their corporate limits.
The Taxpayers Relief Committee In
charge of this matter feel that the
measure should be referred to the
people for a number of reasons
Several years ago the Bone Bill,
which was practically identical with
Senate Bill 100, was rejected by the
people of the state by vote of 2l7,-
1888 against to 139402 for.
IT is felt that the passage OF this
bill was gesture to add personal
prestige to a single individual.
Practically all Of the newspapers Of
the state of Washington were opposed
to the passage Of this bill. It is an
accepted fact that this can be taken
as an indication Of the general public
sentiment
The measure discriminates In favor
of the city now operating power
utility. The extension of power units
by cities under this act would remove
more property from the tax roll and
thereby force the remaining property
to assume and carry and additional
load. There are now many millions of
dollars worth of municipality owned
power property in this state which is
not now subject to general taxation.
If municipalities can go into power
business profltably they should pay
their share of taxes.
Under Senate Bill 129 municipalities
are permitted to engage in power busi-
ness outside city limits, fix rates and
service without state regulation or
supervision. 1t takes home rule from
cities and towns but leaves the taxes
for support of government for the in
dividual and industry to pay.
There is general feeling that It is
time for relief to the individual tax
payer and that good place to begin
is to stop municipalities from engage
ing in business outside city limits, not
only at a direct expense. to the tax.
payer but also by removing further
property from the tax rolls.
In the near future petitions will be
circulated asking that this matter be
referred to the people of the state at
the next general election.

The Washington times., 1933-03-04
BY QUENTIN REYNOLDS

President Roosevelt started
the inaugural proceedings with
an eight-minute , inaugural
speech. It was the shortest in
augural speech since March 4,
1929, when Andrew Jackson
rode down Pennsylvania Avenue
on horseback, leaped from his
nag, turned to the outgoing
President, John Quincy Adams,
and remarked
"John-I'm in. You're out.
Beat it."
The President has promised
to give the country a new deal.
Now it is up to Secretary Of the
Treasury Woodin to tell us what
to use for chips. A suggestion
was made that instead Of play
ing for high stakes we all play
for thick steaks.
For the first time in his life
big Jim" Farley, who makes
Presidents and heavyweight
champions, was nervous. He
had to ride a horse in the in
augural parade. It was the first
time that Jim ever heard of a
horse being used for anything
except to pull milk wagons.
One can imagine Mrs. Hoover
after breakfast this morning
watching her husband pulling
the last strap tight on the last
bag to be packed.
II wish you'd get q steady
jOb," she might have said sar-
castically. Land Sakes-alI we
do is move. First it's to Bel
gium, then to Washington, and
now goodness only knows
where well end up. I suppose
that's what / get for being
married to an engineer. And 1
was just getting to like this
house, too"
"Well, my DEAR" Mr.. Hoover
may have said, If he is like
other husbands, "these new
tenants from New York seem
to be nice people. And any
how, what with the children
all grown up, this place was
much too big for U.S."
Sartorial honors in the pa
rade were divided between
Rudy Vallee and Tom Mix. Mr..
Vallee looked very fetching in
blue and white sailor suit,
but he did look bit lost with
out his megaphone. Vallee was
here in his capacity as naval
aid to Governor Brann, of
Maine.
How Tom Mix happened to
