Walter Frye, of Oral, was looking for
cattle in our neighborhood this week.
Our fine weather suddenly came to a
close and in its stead we have a snow
storm.
Mr.. loops and Jim returned with a
couple of loads of lumber from bursts
mill Monday.
The party at Bells was u success and
everybody reports good time. Sing
ing, playing games and dancing was
the order of the evening.
Quite number of w G fiat men had
a horse round up in Hay canyon the
other day and took good sized bunch
of horses down on the river.
Bert Robins came down from Spear
fish where he has been attending
school, to help look after the stock as
Archie is not able to get out yet.
Great interest is being manifested in
the revival meetings now being held in
GQ0 SCOro SOuUu Vi Cu0 dTSO uOCo4.
Over two hundred people attended the
service last Sunday evening.
Jim Thompson, an Elkhorn bridge
man, was visiting in this vicinity last
week but Jim has been away too long
and the other fellow has the girl and
now he is talking of a trip east.
One day last week was at loops
ranch and Jim was trying to feed that
calf of his, when we heard a buggy
rattle and up drove Sam Odell. Now
Sam has notion that he knows all
about handling stock and especially
the feeding of calves, SO he offered tc
learn Jim how to feed that calf with.

So he caught hold of the calfs left ear,

Modern woodmen Public installation.

Monday night occurred the public
installation of the officers recently
elected for the ensuing year by the
local camp of Modern Woodmen. The
public installation is in accordance
with the custom of the order and the
ceremonies are interesting and inn
pressive. Following were the officers
installed: E. R. Juckett, venerable
consul; H. F. Rimpler, worthy ad-
visor; j. H. Gillespie, excellent banker;
G. S. Eastman, escort; G. R. Cramer,
chief forester, A. G. Duke, watchman;
G. D. Bailey, sentry; w. L. Judkins,
manager; j. w. Joyce, representative
to the Grand Lodge; G. w. Hargens,
physician.
A musical and literary program fol-
lowed the installation and was pleas
ant part of the evenings entertain
ment, rejecting much credit on the
lodges program and arrangement COM
mittees. The hall was decorated fit
tingly, a log, axes, camp paraphernalia,
emblems of the order, being placed on
the consul's platform, making pic
turesque setting.
The first number on the program
was vocal selection by a quartet COM
posed of Misses Stanley and MacDon-
aid, and Messrs. Eaton and Boomer.
As always. the quartet was we'll re-
ceived. Miss Dee Connor then gave
very creditable reading of ''The Rug
giles Family" for which she received
hearty acknowledgment. A mandolin
and guitar duet by Messrs. Miller and
Franklin was encored. A vocal Sc
lection by Miss Mayme Stanley was
sung with her usual grace. Miss Lena
Bailey's recitation illustrated "the
good of the order" Rev. +. P. Baker
delivered the address of the evening in
his usual happy way. The quartet
sang number which was we'll re-
ceived and rendered in spite of the
fact that the acoustic properties of the
room make singing difficult. Miss Bessie
Perry's recitation was followed by
another number by Messrs. Miller and
Franklin. Mrs. G. d. Bailey gave re-
sumo of the growth and work during the
past year of the Royal Neighbors, the
ladies auxiliary to the Woodmen. The
short address Of the retiring venerable
consul was followed by the feature of
the evening, the "poetry" of r. w.
Cramer, which told in rhyme some of
his experiences when initiated.
Refreshments of cake and coffee were
served which the large crowd present
fully enjoyed.

About six inches of snow fell in this

The weather has been remarkably mild,
however, with very little wind, in pleas
