Hall and marched to Kneeland's Hall,
where the exercises were held. A
splendid choir furnished appropriate
music and an excellent patriotic ad-
dress was given by Rev. F. M. Vince
Ter, himself a veteran of the late
war. On such occasions where our
patriotism should be displayed it is
indeed a pleasure to listen to a ring
| ing address which comes from the
heart of the speaker, and puts the
audience in close accord with his senti-
ment. Owing to inclement weather
the attendance was not as large as it
might be, but those who were present
were much pleased.

Mrs. S. Hunter kindly presented us
with her first wberries-Sharpless
good size, raised on her lot next door
to this office. The plants were set out
last fall. but have full crop of early
fruit. The yard is an evidence of
what can be grown on small plat
with little care.
The jurors who have been 1aboring
under the delusion that the last legis1a-
ture reduced their fees from S. to s.
per day can now relieve their troubled
minds of all misrepresentation on that
score. Such proposition was indef-
initely postponed by the senate, March
5.
The town of Sumas, near the boun-
dairy line, boasts of creek like our
Go1dsborough. They haye turned out
and cleaned it of logs and other OBJ
structions of brush by donation. Can't
we get something done towards inn
proving our own stream this summer.
A clover huller would pay any man
big profit if put at work in this
country. Clover seed is worth eigh-
teen cents pound and there is no
country under the sun where clover
grows better tina in Mason county.
L. K. Munson has just received a
fine line of Japanese useful goods
and novelties, which are very cheap,
probably on account of Japan's need
ing funds to square the war debt.
L. K. Munson is daily receiving
fresh Strawberries from VIM. Kendrick
on Hartstein Island, and they are nice
ones. His first shipment was made on
the 21St.
