Game Department
Delivers Trout

The next regular meeting Of the
Vashon Island Sportman's Club will
be held at 3 o'clock next Friday eve
ming, June 10th. This should be an
interesting, meeting as the predatory
animal control committee is TO make
its report.
The state game department deliver
ed $4,000 eastern brook trout to the
Island streams last Friday. Our boys
were on the Job to help plant them.
Now II the young boys, and the old
boys as well, will be conservative for
the next two years in catching fish
and will stay inside the legal limit we
will have some good fun fishing in
these small streams.
We also received $50 pheasant eggs
for Matching. These birds are to be
liberated on the Island.
I believe these are really worthwhile
activities.
We are getting, for the Island, some
really good publicity with the game
department and the sportsmcn of this
western district. We have been assur-
ed Of 100 percent cooperation from the
game officials.
So come to our meeting for further
information.

CanneryStarts
Operation Soon

On Tuesday the Vashon Autl)
Freight delivered 500 sacks of sugar to
the B. D. Mukai cannery, in prepar-
alton for its opening the latter part
of the week.
MIR. Mukai, who already has con-
tracted more than 100 acres of berries.
plans on barreling at least SO barrels
OF cold pack berries per day. He an
ticipates short crop, however, as
many of the fields have been uncared
for and there are not nearly as many
plants bearing as in normal times He
hopes to secure sufficient berries to
put up at least 800 barrels.
The price of berries at the cannery
s now Sc per pound, which is equiva!>
ent of $l.50 to SITS on Western Ave
This is getting back in the direction
OF pre-depression prices.
The price prevailing in the valley,
and which will probably be paid pick
ers on the Island is Is cents per crate
and a season bonus of s cents.
In the fields Mukai pickers will be
divided into groups of white, Japanese,
Filipino and Indian pickers. Mr..
Mukai has made some interesting ex-
periments in handling the various
types of pickers, and has learned that
mixed crew is preferable to one
kind. His observations would be of
interest to student of psychology, as
he has keenly noted the peculiarities
of the different nationalities.
If conditions are good there is
possibility that the berries may run
two tons to the acre. But with the
late spring there is no chance to hope
that the season will not be much
shorter than in many years past.

CAR soMERsAuLTs DOWN BANK

On last Saturday a spectacular
wreck occurred on the Sylvan Beach
road, resulting in surprisingly small
damage to car and occupants.
Paul Land, with three young women
was driving down toward Corbin Beach
and turned out to allow a car coming
up the hill to pass. Brush along the
side of the road made 1t impossible to
know that the ground was not solid.
Slipping over the edge the car went
down the bank, turning over twice,
then doing somersault 1t landed with
the engine in tree. Evidently the
car was built for that sort of useage,
for when the tree was cut down it
pulled up the bank on its own power.
BY some miracle. although they were
showered with broken glass, the four
occupants Of the car escaped with only
slight bruises.

EXCURSION TO SEE
"OLD IRONSIDES

Capt. N. G. Christensen this week
announced a very special excursion
rate, Sunday, June 18th, on the vir-
ginia v which will give Island people,
particularly West Siders, an excellent
opportunity to see Old Ironsides in
Tacoma.
Arriving at noon the Virginia v will
land less than two blocks from where
the Constitution is moored. 1t will be
an easy walk along the waterfront.
On the return trip the Virginia will
leave Tacoma at $3.50, thus giving
three and one half hours for sight
seeing.
This is an ideal way for all who
have not as yet seen the historic old
ship to have the opportunity of doing
so. The very reasonable rate Capt.
Christensen is making puts this trip
within the reach of all.

PAGE THE BARON

If Baron Munchausen wants a new
yarn here is one-and the beauty Of
1t is that 1t is founded on fact.
One day last week a turkey hen be-
longing to Mrs Jackson Corbet
wandered in with six baby turkeys and
two baby pheasants. The suppositior
at first was that either the turkey OF
the pheasant had made mistake and
deposited her eggs in the wrong nest.
b The next morning the Corbet house.
old was awakened by terrific figh;
in the poultry yard and when they
arrived on the scene there were two
dead baby pheasants and two more
turkey babies, alive and we'll.
Quite foundation for a fowl ro-
nance!

LARGE GROUP VISITS
OLD IRONSIDEs LAST FRIDAY

On Friday party of So persons,
principally school children, visited Old

tation Company. The reasonable rate
offered made it possible for num-
Der to see the historic old boat who

portunity.
