They will put in the day Sunday—and it will be a busy day—building a road into the new park site, two miles south of Des Moines, so that King and Pierce county folks can drive in and see what they’re getting for their contributions. Ten boxes of blasting powder have been donated by Neal Turner, of Kennydale, and 10 more by G. F. Berlin, of Kent. Lumber has been contributed by Colby & Dickinson, of Kent. All residents of Des Moines, Zenith, Redondo and other nearby towns, and folks from Seattle and Tacoma who know anything of the rudiments of road building, are invited to join the “road picnic” Sunday. Work will begin at 8 a. m., the workers meeting at the entrance of the new park, on the Tacoma High Line road. The professional roadbuilders promise a complete road by nightfall. It’s a good way for YOU to find out whether you're going to seed physically. Get out Sunday and grab a shovel! The Park Auto Transportation company, a subsidiary of the Puget Sound Light & Power Co., came to bat Tuesday, folks, with a check for $300. The company operates a bus line over the High Line road to Tacoma. It’s checks like this that mean business. Do we hear any more?
