The local bank has received during
the past week about $4,000 in gold
and silver, in readiness for the Fourth
when about $4,000 will be disbursed
by the various logging and railroad
concerns in the vicinity of Shelton tc
their employees. All concerns pay
their men in full and some of the men
will cash checks as high as $500. Most
of the money will be paid out in Shell
ton, although some of the men will
cash their checks at other Sound
points. The work closes for this vaca-
ton with practically no stocks on
hand in Mason County, and logs in
great demand. This scarcity of logs
is unusual, considering the fact that
the camps have been working to their
full capacity all spring, and the de-
mand promises to hold good the re-
mainder of the year.
Now for Straw and Cloth Hats and
Summer Clothing, and don't forget
Mcdonald & O'Neill, for a new outfit
for the Fourth.

and Allie. Saeger rode over on their
wheels, all returning the same way
except Setter, who thought another As
miles rather too much of a good thing.
There was considerable crowd from
other points, and only a few of the
most favored got privilege of inspect
ing the machinery and other interest
ing things below decks.
