The Bijou Sunday School has
grown some in the last three
months, but it does seem that with
the increase of our population, by
so many new families moving in,
that the number should be greatly
increased.
Mrs. May Corkett has purchased
a new pump and windmill. Mr..
Edward Cole, of Colorado Springs,
made the sale and is doing the
work of setting up the mill and

found it quite a difficult task, as
the well is nearly 200 feet deep.

the artificial display, made scene
long to be remembered.
Approaching the shore another
splendid scene appeared-there
were thousands of gaily dressed
people under the electric light in
attendance upon a band concert.
where the regimental band regu.
larly gives concerts free to the
public during Sunday afternoons
and one or two evenings of the
week. This band is said to have
no superior on the Pacific Coast
it is called "sWagner's Band, y
after its leader. 1t was near the
close of the concert and after one
of Seattle's sweet soprano singers
had favored the multitude with a
popular solo, the general crowd
slowly returned to the city, while
the editors and invited guests re-
paired to large pavilion gaily
lighted with colored lights and
decorated with palms and ferns.
here the excellent band discoursed
more music; the Mayor who looks
like Mark Twain, extended a
hearty Western welcome, which
was responded TO by Past Presi-
dent McCabe and President Henry,
and then amid more music all en-
joyed a spread Of sandwiches, cake,
lemonade, "etc )" until near
midnight, when all returned to
the city.
The return was signalized by a
brilliant display of electrical deco
rations, the two principal business
streets being festooned with string
ers of incandescent lights for six
or eight blocks, and several stores
fronts also having special and
unique displays. On prominent
square the word "Welcome" far
ed out in brilliant letters; on an
other side IN. Z. A" appeared.
On another street was handsome
display of gas jets Welcome"
and editorial emblems having been
worked in s'letters of living fire"
for the delectation of the visiting
"lights' of the editorial profess
sion. The two leading daily
newspapers had special displays,
including the "waving" flag effects
produced by red, white and blue
incandescents with alternating cur
rents. Several thousands of cleo
trio light bulbs were used in these
and other decorations.

higher hills of the city-the city
being built largely upon steep hill
sides, in terraces, as it appears
from the water-the view of the
mountains, snow-capped eternally,
and of the expansive Sound, can
never be forgotten. From Queen
Ammo Hill, in the northern part
of the city, could be seen magnif-
cent Mount Rainier in the south;
Mount Baker, near the Canadian
boundary line in the north; the
Cascade Range TO the east, and
the Olympics across the Sound to
the west. There is no other view
