Amanda E. Lammon, eldest daugh-
ter of Councilman ]. NJ. Lammon, was
united in marriage to Charles l.. Du-
fault, young man, lately from one
OF the new England States, who has
made a host OF friends during his
short residence in this community,
Wednesday at noon. The happy
couple left by the evening train for
Seattle, on II short wedding trip.
They design founding home in this
city
1t is difficult to discover wherein the
school board has bettered the service
by turning down Prof. Halves, who has
made the school service so notably eff
tclent, for a man whose chief distilc
ton seems to be that he has served in
a like capacity at Ceniraliu number
Of years. 1t is presumed that Messrs.
Pridham and Troy, who voted for Mr..
Thompson, will be able, however, to
give satisfactory reasons for the
change.
DR.. Redpath has secured the con-
tract for dosing the county patients
this year for 1928. The sawbones
seem to have figured it down quite
al. g., L.
mittcd by DR.. Novel;, was for $40.
1t is only the printers, however, who
take public contracts at starvation
prices, rs witness the Uympian'S bid OF
eight cents per square, amounting to
81 cents per thousand ems compost
ton, which at union rates costs As
cents.
Sunday morning, Mrs. Bertha Mar
tin died of that dread disease con-
sumption, after several months OF Sc.
we're suffering. Deceased was q
daughter OF the late H. Newmarker,
who was several years ago in the gro
Gerry business in this city. She leaves
a husband and little girl two years
old; two brothers and two sisters, to
mourn her loss. The funeral rites
took place ut her late residence on
Second and Washington streets,
Wednesday.
"Lost For Day" which is offered
as the matinee bill for tomorrow
Saturday afternoon, ut Olympia
Theater, is a roaring three-act farce
comedy, and tells all about baby
that is lost en- transit to London.
Everybody from grandpa, down to the
small boy, takes hand in trying to
locate baby" and the situations and
complications are ludicious In the ex-
treme. 1t is a play that is specially
suited to ladies and children, who find
it very enjoyable always. The prices
of admission will be 10c and 25c.
The Council made short work of
Judge" Dobbins, the committing
magistrate, at their regular meeting
Monday night. They, tiguratively
speaking, cut OFT his shoulder straps
and reduced him to the ranks, for the
disposition he has manifested for crs-
ating surprises by his official course.
The. Council concluded to create q
counter surprise by knocking out the
prop which sustained his official
dignity. Fred Schomber was elected
by a vote OF to l to fill the vacancy
thereby created of Police Justice.
VIM. McGown, better known as
"Big Bill" who has been long in the
employ of Richardson's Shingle mill,
sustained serious injury to his right
hand, Saturday, while operating n
knee-bolter. One finger was nearly
severed, and his hand was fearfully
gashed, but he coolly walked down
and had it tied up by surgeon, when
he returned to work as il nothing out
of the common had happened. Dur
ing the long time he has operated the
most dangerous machine in the mill
it is the first accident he has met with.
The Olympia Door and Lumber Co.,
manifest an activity in turning in fire
alarms, if for nothing else. Sunday
evening and Monday afternoon, the
firemen were called out by an alarm
from Box %, in both instances caused
by blaze in that tinder-box used for
a dry-house. No serious damage has,
SO far resulted, but it is only a ques-
ton of time when this good luck will
cease. 1t would be far better for the
company to construct safer kiln for
drying their product, than to trust to
that proverbial good luck which al
ways fails in the end.
1t has heen a matter of much favor
able comment that the ladies very
generally-almost without exception
have removed their hats at the per-
formances in the theater this week.
, No law is necessary to enforce pro-
priety in this matter here, and we
note the fact with a pardonable feel
ing of pride. If the ladies only knew
how muck better they appear with
their hats off; how much more coy
and homelike the house seems to
visitors from abroad from this con.
cession to popular clamor; they would
feel in large degree compensated
for the trouble OF removing their head
dressing.
