much better balanced race
~ is my forecast for 1888 in
the American League. A
year ago predicted the Athletics
would have more competition
than during the previous three
seasons. They did. In fact, the
Yankees won the pennant by as
great a margin as the Athletics
had been in the habit of winning
and a one-sided race was the re-
suit.
Because Of that one-team contest,
american League clubs have made many
player changes which will, to the best
OF my belief, result in the Yankees be-
ing provided with much sitter compe-
tition than in 1882. If we had a four
or flve club race last season, the Amer
lean League probably would have PLAYED
to more people than in 1881.
Now, with numerous changes made in
the rosters OF the seven clubs that fin
ished behind New York, l cannot see
anything but better battle for the
pennant and that means increased at
tendance.
THERE is no doubt of the Chicago
l. White Sox, for many years the out
standing pennant contender of our
league, being restored to first division
strength with the addition of Out
f1elders Simmons and Haas, and Third
Baseman Dykes of Philadelphia, Pitcher
Durham and Infielder Rhyme of Boston.
Chicago, also, is banking on Pitcher Vic
Frasier being restored to health and
able to pitch winning base ball.
While Philadelphia parted with three
star players, Connie Mack is confident
that he has in Cramer, Coleman. Finney
and Higgins four young players capable
of replacing the men he sold to Chicago
and keeping his team high up in the
race.
Washington made three deals that
tended to make the Nationals stronger
| contenders than they were last season.
In Manush, GoSlin and Shuttle, they will
nave one OF the hardeSt-hitting outfields
in the history of our league. President
Clark Griffith and Manager Joe Cronin
have also made changes in the Wash
ington pitching staff, adding two vet
eran southpaws in Whitehill and Stew
ART IN exchange for Lloyd Brown, Fred
Marberry and Dick Coffman. With
Crowder, Weaver, Whitehill Stewart, AL
Thomas and McAfee, Washington will
be equipped with six starting pitchers.
TVHE exchange of WhitehiIl for Mar
l. berry and Fischer is expected to
aid Detroit as well as Washington
Both Maroerry and Whitehill appar-
| emily needed a change in scenery
Stanley Harris is confident that Mar
berry will deliver for him in Detroit as
he did in Washington. Detroit also has

veloped this year in pitcher Rowe

drive against. Right now. it looks GER
tain as if Outfielder Seeds and Infielder
Mulleavy, included in that deal, would
be installed as regulars at Boston, with
a chance of Hodapp, former Cleveland

Vashon Water Dist.
Installs New Pump

The Vashon Water District has re-
Gently installed new electric pump
ing system To increase the efficiency
| of the plant. The rams will continue
to be used, but when the water gets
below the eighteen inch level in the
tank, the electric pump is auto
matically started and operates until
the tank is full.
In 1926 Mr.. w. D. Garvin, p. M.
smock and T. Hansen co-operated with
the county in starting water system
for the town of vashon. Bonds to
the amount of $4,000 were floated,
and handled by local people entirely.
$4,000 of this amount was in ten year
bonds, the installments by which are
paid up-to-date. Seventeen acres of
land was brought on which there were
number of springs around a creek.
A dam was built. over which there
flows $50 gallons of water a minute.
This goes down to the two four-inch
rams, where the pressure forces one
seventh of it up to the 10000 gallon
tank on top of sixty foot tower on
the town of Vashon 1t is 5l2 feet
from the rams to the top of the tank.
The new pump was installed at
cost of about $500, under the auspic-
ious of T. N. Thompson. It is set
to a pressure of l6O pounds and 48
gallons of water per minute at pres
ent, and can be increased to 300
pounds of pressure and rs gallons of
water per minute. The pump is driven
by z 1-2 horsepower motor, and is
stationed directly over large double
settling tank. This settling tank is
equipped with four sets of strainers
which assures Vashon of an unlimited
supply of clear spring water.
In 1880 there was slide that broke
the pipes from the ram and made it
necessary for Vashon to use water
from the South District. That is the
only setback the water company has
experienced. The vashon Water Dis
trict has met all payments PROMPTLY
and had sufficient cash on hand to
enable them to purchase the new
system.
The water system is now controlled
by w. D. Garvin, Axel Petersen, Tom
Steffenson and T. N. Thompson,
superintendent. Much credit is due
these gentlemen who have made it
possible for Vashon residents to have an
abuntant supply of cool spring water
at such a low monthly fee.

, The land should be fertile, deep and
well-drained. The soil in which the
water table rises to four feet for any
appreciable time is not suited. On
the other hand, 1t is necessary to have
soil which retains the moisture well.
IA good fertilizer for filberts is
about five tons of barn yard manure
plus rs pounds super-phosphate per
ton Of manure for each acre.
Pruning labor amounts to consider
able during the first few years, as the
trees tend 20 produce large number
of suckers. These suckers must be
removed. Otherwise the filbert tree
would become thick bush rather
than a tree. The suckers should be
removed just as they reach the sur
face Of the ground. Care should also
be taken to remove them close to the
main trees. If they are removed when
young, they can easily be pulled off
However, the large ones may have to
be cut away. This work is one of the
most important factors in fiIbert pro-
duction.
1.-THE top of the tree is pruned
similarly to sour cherries.
1.-THE variety Of filberts grown most
ly in Western Washington is the Du-
Chilly. However, in Western Oregon
their chief commercial nut is the
Barcelona.
"Pollination is absolutely necessary
in the production of either of these
varieties, as they are both sterile and
will not bear unless pollinized by
other varieties. Pollinizers for the
Barcelona are the White Aveline, Da-
viana and DuChilly. It is necessary
to use all three varieties. AS pollin-
izers for the DuChilly, use Clackamas,
Alpha, Brixnut. CENTS, Dehall and
Nooksac. Place pollinizer every third
tree in every third row.
1.-THE expense of harvesting does not
amount to much, in comparison with
harvesting other tree crops. Simply
shake the trees and pick the nuts off
the ground. Do this about three times
and the crops are harvested. There Is
no need Of any special or particular
care Of the nuts, after they are har-
vested. For this reason, filberts can
be planted on back country, cheap
land tnot poor land). considerable
distance from the market, because
they are not perishable crop and
keep easily and economically.
"As to marketing conditions, there
is now being formed in Western WASH
ington filbert growers cooperative
association for the purpose Of Market
Ing this crop"

afternoon was spent on the lawn and
in the garden. Miss Anderson con-

her intimate knowledge of China and
her impressions of this country after

Orient. She was enormously impress
ed with the hospitality of the Vashon
Islanders. She has been in a position
, of giving for so long, 1t was lovely to
take the many kindnesses for a
change. She enjoyed the flowers, as
they were so different to the ones she
has been accustomed to. She has
ridden in rickshaws and wheelbarrows
for many years, motor vehicle sbeing
rare In the part of China where she
lived. The radio was a surprise, as
she had seen only few in the Orient.
She much prefers American cooking,
though she may long for Chinese food
after the novelty of our fare wears
off, Miss Anderson was an intimate
friend of the feminine relatives Of
Sun Vat Sen, the first founder of the
Chinese Republic, and she thoroughly
understands the political life of China,
Its growth and development.
Miss Anderson left for her home in
