f. +. Everett will leave about Thanks
giving for a visit at the old home in
Devonshire, England, stopping in Lon
don OH the way. 1t has been five years
since Mr.. Everett left England, and he
naturally anticipates pleasant meeting

One OF the encouraging signs of the
times in Aberdeen is the fact that there
are very few desirable business houses or
residences that are vacant. They have
been gradually filling up during the past
two years, and today there are several
new houses in course of erection.
Dave Keith and Frank Kaufman went
over to the Neuskah river Tuesday, on
fishing expedition, and returned in the
evening with sixty fine trout-and they
didn't devote their entire time to fishing,
either. Trout are quite plentiful this
fall, and many fine strings are brought
in by our local anglers.
Inquiry has been received in this city
asking for the whereabouts of Charles
Lindburg, of Olympia, who left home
about ten days ago, saying he was going
to Aberdeen to seek work in the mills.
He left two children who are anxious to
hear from him. Lindburg was con-
sidered to be non compus mentus, and
his friends are uneasy regarding his
safety.

road tax in the various districts, which
by the way is another specimen Of
brilliant legislation, will cause deal Of
figuring by the county officials when
spreading the tax list. The vote Of the
Neuskah district, for instance, resulting
in the levying of tax Of 6 14-17 mills
Just imagine figuring out the road tax
with that levy OH every $17.4 valuation.
Try it on one.
At recent tug-of-war in this county
ten men were pulling at each end of the
rope, and for time the strain was steady
and did not move. Bystanders bet $40
that, supposing the power Of each ten
men to be five tons, the strain on the
rope at the center was ten tons. A de-
cision was rendered in favor Of five-ton
strain, and proved by taking three spring
scales and attaching them together, the
center showing the same strain at either
end. On the proposition of the ten-ton

instead of another group Of men, the
stone would pull FIVE tons.
The work Of clearing and plating the
new cemetery is now complete, and the
first burial took place Monday, when the
G. A. r. laid away Comrade Hague in
the block which they have purchased.
About an acre and a half OF the ground
on the hillside, south OF the Beardsley
plat, has been put in shape, divided up
in blocks twenty-four feet square, with
