Quite lot of homegrown celery. a

County Superintendent Gunderson
has been busily engaged for some
time in arranging course of study for
the Mason county schools. The course
of study issued by the State Board of
Education few years ago, is out of
date now that a new series of text
books has been introduced. Superin-
tendent Gunderson's new course will
conform to the new books. and will be
of great service, particularly to those
new teachers who had had no expert
ence under the old course.
i The steamers City of Shelton and
Doctor have compromised and each has
resumed its old schedule. The Doctor
will have the Kami1che and Oyster
Bay business entirely to itself, and will
drop the Shelton run. The City of
Shelton will carry the Shelton mail
and devote its service to Shelton. AS
both steamers were on nearly the same
hours, the change will not affect the
Shelton service materially, and the
Shelton, with her new cabin complete,
will be ample to accommodate the
traffic. While the mails will leave
earlier and arrive later, other arrange
rnents may be made for the improve
ment of the service.
