The Home Dramatic Company
placed "Faust' on The boards last
Tuesday and Wednesday nights in
the Social Hall. The FIRST nights
performance, which was witnessed by
a good house, was rather more in the
nature of a rehearsal than anything
else, and showed some rather pro-
nounced work of amateurs. Wednes-
day night. however, was better and a
creditable rendition OF the great opera
WAS rendered. The local company
possessfs some good talent, and with
sufficient and good instl ucSion at its
DISPOSED can always be relied upon to
give a good show.

Clergyman, now Bishop Morris, of
Oregon, built q little wooden church
in the place, alongside Of a huge fir
tree that had been broken off about
40 feet above the ground.
1t was first intended to build the
church behind the tree and cut door
way through the trunk, thus making
the tree the entrance as well as the
bell tower, but this plan was aban-
doned. A belfry tipped with cross
was built upon the top of the tree, a
bell placed therein, and swung, To
this day the ivy-clad fir is the bell
tower of the church. A ladder runs
from the roof Of the church to the
belfry, and this is used as the ap-
proach to the bell whenever it be-
comes necessary to visit it.
The building Of this church, which
was named St. Peters, was begun one
Tuesday morning in the early '70's,
and services were held in it the fol-
lowing Sunday morning.
The ivy that clings about the tree
has crawled under the roof and into
the church, and forms delicate green
traceries along the inner walls,
The bell tower tree is many hun
dreds of years old, and was good
sized tree when Columbus sailed upon
the voyage that resulted in the dis
covery of new world. Thus this
forest monarch now forms the Oldest
bell tower in America.
