I Among State Leaders Likewise illustrious has been the life of Mr, Potts, so perhaps it might be well to add :1. little to his record. He is one of those who have retired to permanent homes on the pleasant shores of .Hood Canal to “live the life of Riley" and of well earned case. He retired to this county some 15 lyears ago, first living at Enetai, I then finding the present site where he and his wife built their ldream home. Mrs. Potts, who l passed away two years ago, was RU HARD 1W ORK bers family of Olympia.

He served as stac signator 19-31—03, and in 1907-09, was elected state treasurer and serv- ed cx-officio on the state parks board and other boards, and fought with then Land Commis— sioner Clark Savage to secure lands for state parks, of which Twanob is but one example of the lands held public use for all time. His iarl" public service was as warden of the state penitentiary at Walla Walla, a job be tired of and quit. All his business life has spent in hotel operation, his last being the Arctic in Seattle before retiring. He. retired with a clean record through his long public- life. Helped Oyster Fight Adding a local touch, it might be well to recall that Senator Potts deserves credit for saving the state reserves asoyster seed beds for Mason County, for with- out his work among his legisla- tive friends the reserves would have been grabbed by private hands. Potts and his friends helped the then Senator for this district, The Journal editor, kill the hill. The oysters were a live issue in 1903, but long since forgotten, al- though tlic state still holds the natural send beds they are of. little value for seed purposes. Per- haps this may explain why “Billy” Potts inn always been a friend ofv Marion County and turned way to spend his later years "in the liouscby the road letting the: world whiz bv on the Canal high— way. And this story would not be complete without saying that “Billy” Potts is a Republican of the old school, was never any- thing clsc, and if he has one dominant thought it is for the election of VVillkie and McNary,| and Arthur Langlic for governor to get the nation and state back to earth again.
