The geese haye come again, and
several big bands are feeding among
the various lakes and prairies of this
vicinity. A party of hunters missed
several good chances, but succeeded in
getting two big birds last Sunday. 1t

flock feeding on the prairies, but they
are wary birds, and it is difficult to get

morning they loom up like ostriches.

Owing to the storm of last week,
which was general over the Northwest,
the telegraph and telephone wires
were down in many places, and COM

time in years the daily papers came out
Monday morning without Eastern
te1egraphic news. The mails have al
so been interfered with by washouts
on the railroads. Tuesdays mail in
Shelton brought nothing from points
beyond Tacoma.
The Kamilche ladies gave dance at
Old Town last Saturday night for the

supper was provided, and neat sum
