GOOD MUSIC WILL BE
FEATURE OF DANCE

The public is cordially invited to at
tend the informal dance given by
Masonic and Eastern Star orders at
the Bayyiew pavilion, Burton, next
Wednesday evening, May 3lst.
This has been designated as a ging-
ham dance for the reason that all
ladies attending are requested to come
dressed in cotton dresses. Feeling that
the Island folk have the mistaken idea
that social function sponsored by a
Masonic order is apt to be formal the
committee has gone to the extreme
limit in planning the most informal
affair possible for next Wednesday
evening. All men who care to do so
will be encouraged to remove their
coats, provided the reason is personal
comfort.
Blonde Jacobsen's orchestra which
will furnish irresistible music for the
occasion, is new on the Island. Maurice
Dunsford, chairman, states that even
those who do not care to dance will
! get their moneys worth listening to
i the piano and accordian music the
orchestra furnishes.
i So whether you dance or not all you
f, will need for an enjoyable evening will
be bingham gown and two bit
piece.

ALLISON KELLOGG

Relatives and friends met at the
Kellogg home on Maury Wednesday
afternoon to pay their last tribute of
respect for the deceased and SYM
pathy for the living, all shocked at
the sudden demise of Allison Kellogg,
who died Sunday evening, May l4th
from a heart attack the day before,
Mr.. Kellogg had lived for years on
Vashon-M aury Island and during most
of that time had served the public
while in the jitney business.
Upright and honest in his dealings
he held the favorable esteem of all
who knew or came in contact with
him. He will be missed from our
midst, more especially at the home
where the loved ones meant so much
to him.
After fitting service by Rev, T. S.
Fretz, at the home, and at the Island
cemetery, the body was laid to rest
amid flowers. Much sympathy is felt
for the family who are bravely trying
to carry on the business and work
left undone by the sudden taking off
of life not much past its prime.

8 o'clock, chicken dinner, sponsored
by Corp. Alfred Roberts Post, Veterans
of Foreign Wars will be served at the

made will go toward the funds neces-
sary for carrying on the activities Of
this new organization promoting civic
betterment. One of the community
problems they have already adopted Is
the sponsoring of the vashon troop,
Boy Scouts. This is only one of the
ways in which they hope to be able to
serve.

good patronage, as this is the first
public fried chicken dinner of the
season. Ample preparation will be
made to serve generously all who come,
not only with fried chicken, but will,

pleasing to the eye, and which make
them an artistic asset to the village.

Local Island Post
VIEW. Inaugurated

Unfortunately conflicting attractions
prevented more than a small number
OF Island people from attending the
Inauguration of Corp Alfred Roberts
Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and
the Installation Of officers which took
place last Saturday evening at the Is
land Club.
A large number of veterans from
Seattle, and a few from Tacoma, were
present for the ceremonies, which were
conducted by members of Eaglcson
Post OF Seattle. Those who saw these
ceremonies for the first time were
much impressed by the scope of the
work Of the organization
In addition to being the youngest
post of the entire state Corp. Alfred
Roberts Post also bears the distinction
of being the only post In the United
States Gas far as can be determined
that Is on an Island.
Distinguished visitors who were pres
ent and who spoke on Saturday eve
ming were Chas. Brown, department.
commander; c. r.. Christie, National
council member representing Washing
ton, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska, who
conducted the ceremonies; Walter
JIstie, commander Roosevelt Post,
Seattle; Richard w. Seaton, COM
mander 1t. James Eaglesolf Post,
Seattle; Albert ossinger, Major Far
well Post; Mrs. Amber W. Christie, de-
partment president of Ladies' Auxili-
ary department of Washington and
Mrs. Maude Mccoy, department presi-
dent of Ladies' G. A. r., and Walter
Daniels, council member.
At the close of the meeting refresh
ments were served to the visitors in
the club room.
The announcement of the dinner to
be given Saturday by the local post
was met with promise that q goodly
number of the Seattle veterans would
probably be present. This was, no
doubt, due to the announcement by
Commander Wick that each patron
could have his fill of fried chicken and
trimmings.

POWER COMPANY STATES
POSITION ON CREDIT


We have not as yet received a copy
of the Department of Public Works
memorandum in regard to free service
and the matter of credits. However,
the company has been very sympa-
thetic in its attitude toward the people
and enterprises who are in distress and
who have difficulty in paying for their
electric service. The problem of credit
is an individual one and must be con-
sidered on its merits This we have
attempted to do so that those who are
worthy and honest, but unfortunate
victims of the depression, might be
taken care of.
The company very definitely realizes
its responsibilities in the matter of
public welfare and has endeavored to
live up to them. In addition to the
credits which it has extended for cleo
trio service and the taxes 1t is paying,
it has contributed to community funds
and other agencies for the relief OF
those who are up against it.
Addition tax impositions of one kind
or another which have been imposed
in recent months, or, It is indicated,
will be saddled on the company,
amount to around ss50,0oO a year. We
are paving no dividends on our pre-
ferred stock to our many thousands of
stockholders who live in the State of
Washington, many of whom are in dire
need at this time.
Ours is very definitely public BUSH

preston affecting our customers, we

A NEW TREASURE IN
MRS. ROBERTS GARDEN

A very choice plant, the Dove Tree,
was delivered last Saturday to Mrs.
j w. Roberts for her garden. This
tree, a gift from Mrs. Charles D. Slim
son, of Seattle, has an interesting his
tory which is quoted herewith from
"Aristocrats OF the Garden" by the late
E. H. Wilson, remembered also for his
importation Of the Regal lily. The
"Davidia Invilucrata", or Dove Tree,
was first discovered by Pere David In
1869 in Western China, Ia Wan, and
Is called the most beautiful and re-
markable Of all trees.
The author Mr.. E. H. Wilson, In
1899 was sent out from England on a
special mission to get seeds Of this
tree. After many trials and dangers,
he found In 1900 (the year Of the
Boxer trouble) eleven of these trees In
full bloom. They fruited freely and
he gathered a rich harvest of seeds
which he dispatched at once to Eng
land where they arrived in the spring
OF 1901. These seeds were one year in
terminating When Mr. Wilson HIM
self returned in 1909, he brought with
him three or four living plants, and in
due course of time both seedlings and
plants made themselves at home In
england. The first flowers came in
1911 and received the Royal Horticul-
tural society's highest award.

secure the seeds of this tree he found
that a Frenchman, Monsieur de vii
NORM. had received seeds of the
payidia from Catholic missionary in
China in 1897, and had raised one
plant in his arboretum in France
Prom this plant, two or three cuttings
and one layer were rooted. OF these
one was sent to the Jardin DIES Plantes
one to Kewg Gardens and one to the
Arnold Arboretum, (Boston), where
they are growing freely and blossoming
each successive season.
In its native habitat, this tree grows
to a height Of fifty feet with flowers
six inches long and three broad, but
in this country about thirty feet in
height, pyramidal in shape and with
much smaller blooms. When stirred

blossoms resemble huge butterflies, OF

FREEDOM DEBATE
Is SIDETRACKED
Quezon Supporters Gust Roxas as
Speaker of Philippine
House.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MANILA, P. l., July 20.-Indepen-
dence debate was Sidetracked by fac
tional politics today as supporters of
Manuel Quezon ousted Manuel Roxas,
champion Of outright acceptance of the
independence act, as speaker of the
Philippines House of Representatives.
All committee chairmen of the House
also were removed preparatory to a
complete reorganization of that body of
the Legislature.
Quezon submitted his resignation as
president of the Senate as the second
test this week of the legislators con-
fdence in him. It seemed inevitable
the Senate would follow the lead of the
Executive Committee of the dominant
Nationalist party which rejected his
resignation as party president yesterday.
Decision was deferred when Quezon
adjourned the Senate until tomorrow.
The Senate prepared to oust its
speaker president pro tenn, Sergio
Osmena. who was co-chairman with
Roxas of the independence mission
which worked for adoption of the
awes-Cutting act by Congress.
Reorganization Of both Houses as
planned will leave Quezon virtual
dictator of the Legislature
Predictions were widely circulated Of
a forthcoming split in the Nationalistas
with Osmena and Roxas leading a fac
ton favoring the act as passed by
Congress. Politicians likewise forecast
responsibility for the final decision on
the act will eventually be left to a
plebiscite or convention.
