the officers whose duty it is to see to its
enforcement that allows this TO 90 on?

however, that this process does not
hens, which are kept constantly hust.
ling to furnish the raw material for

on Friday evening of last week, and
gave himself and family genuine sur
prise. A very pleasant time was en-
joyed by all and when the guests de-

Angeles county, Cal, sends the NORTH
ERNER, by the hand of Mr.. A. +. Hayes,
a basket of fruit and nuts grown on
their rancho at that place. Mr.. For
sythe is devoting his attention largely

The Niles District Conference of the
Nj. +. church, which closed its session
in this place last Wednesday evening,
was an interesting occasion. The sew
eral papers read and the discussion
prompted by them gave evidence that
gentlemen possessing high order of
talent occupy the pulpits of the district.
The sermons of the two evening ses-
sions were powerful, logical, convinc-

A snow storm Monday morning, fol.
lowed by singing freeze Monday
night, was enough to make our fruit
growers, and for that matter everybody
else, look straight off .he end of their
noses yesterday morning, but when the
returns began to come in from the
vineyards and orchards, things took on
II more roseate hue, as it was asserted
that, particularly on the higher lands,
fruit was all right. Much damage must
have been done, however, on lower
lands, rs it froZe hard enough, even in
the highest places in this village, to
form ice quarter of an inch in thick
ness. 1t was an uncomfOrtably close
call even if we have gone through un-
scathed.
Henry Shaefer is executing a class of
work in photography that is new here
and which attracts much attention. The
pictures are called 'freak photos" and
consist in taking" the same subject i'm
any number of different attitudes i'm the
same picture. To illustrate, in one pic
ture Claude Snow is Il whole brass band,
each individual Claude with an instru-

and one very pompous Claude stands at
the head of the line welding the baton.
Three Charley Buffers are engaged i'm
quiet little game of seven-up. No. l
has played; No. 2 is hesitating, but in
clined to risk his ten, while No. 3, with
"a look of confidence, is preparing to
save his jack and gather in the game.
Fourteen Rowlands constitute jury of
~, clerk, and an attorney addressing
the twelve, whose countenances express
all the different phases of emotion = in
difference, credulity, acquiescence, dis
doubt, etc, while one is
fast asleep and his neighbor is getting
there" The work is well executed.
The Electric Light Co. is having
hard tussle i'm getting the new wheel
into position at the power house. The
water was drawn down in the pond as
low as it could be and the waste weir
kept open, but still enough water found
its way through the race and fume to
retard the work of enlarg
ing the wheel.pit and putting in the
TO counteract this, the
company hired traction engine,
blocked it up on the west side of the
power house and set it to pumping,
giving it suction from an extemporized
reservoir above the wheel pit. This
