Miss Isabel Trossen who has been

The Umatilla Indian Medicine Co.
furnished us with a novel form of en-
tertainment Saturday night. They
undertook to decide who was the
most handsome lady in the audience.
In their choice the Indians who acted
as judges certainly showed good taste
and beautiful piece of bead work
was awarded the fair lady.
In their choice of the hOmelie5t man
in the audience they also showed keen
powers OF discernment, and verified a
long existing impression that |. Cratic
was the proper person to receive the
prize. Cratic was kept busy for
long time after the award, receiving
the grim congratulations of his friends.
The Smith estate has at last been
transferred to other hands. Two en-
terprising spirits of Mishicott, Me
Terens and [. Cratic have purchased
the entire property including 30 acres
of land, the Smith homestead. the saw
mill, and also a half interest in the
water power, The property was a
heritage left to his heirs by old Dan
Smith, the pioneer of Mishicott. The
old saw mill was erected in 1914, and
the Smith homestead soon after. This
was the nucleus Of the now enter
prising and fourishing village of
Mishicott. The bell from the old
saw mill is now III our school house
tower as it is used to call the mill
hands to industry years ago it now
echoes Its peals to the ears of our
school children, a relic of the past
struggles and hardships and symbol
of present progress and enlighten-
ment. Part of the property is located
on the east bank of the Mishicott
river used as the saw mill site, but
the main portion is located on both
sides Of jackson street. 1t will be di
vided into lots and opened for occu-
pancy at once. A large part is under
cultivation. The new proprietors do
not intend to permit the splendid wa
ter power to remain idle. They will
make efforts to induce some manufac
turing concern to erect a mill or fac
tory here and thus utilize the power
that is temporarily lying idle. 1t
will be source Of satisfaction to all
the progressive people of our village
to know that such men as Mr. Crate
and Mr.. Terens have made the pur-
chase as it is well known that both
are men of energy and ability and
certainly have the interests of our
village at heart. Now for the long
delayed boom.
A party OF our sportsmen made an
excursion to NJ. Shea's lake one day
last week. 1t consisted of Mr.. | |
Cratic, DR.. Hahn, Mr. Otto Drews, |
MIR. Chas. Levenhagen, Mr.. VIM. |
Levenhagen and Mr.. Bruno Mueller.
1t will at once be seen that every trade |
and profession was represented. Still |
when the choice OF captain was made |
all eyes were directed Enthusiastically |
to Dr. Hahn as having the most i'm
appearance. and conse-
quently he was chosen leader Bruno
Mueller volunteered to act as cook.
And thus the organization of the
party was completed. 1t was an
eventful day. 1t would be impossible
to describe it. The bill of fare was
extensive though it consisted only of
the products Of the water, bull frogs,
catfish, pickerel. crabs, minnows serv-
ed according to the latest style by the
able cook. On the return trip Crates
stentorian voice echoed far and wide
in the rhythmic strains of the Mar
seillai5." In speaking of the affair
they spoke highly Of the hospitality
and kindness Of NJ. Shea who owns
he lake and adjoining lands. They
aren't fully recovered from the effects
If their bill offare' yet.
