Candy post had full meeting last
Saturday, but owing to some mistake by
the management of the hall there was
no stove put up, and the meeting was
compelled to adjourn before it got
through the regular routine OF business.
| The resignation of L. Henry as quarter
master was accepted and S. F. Blythe
elected to serve out the unexpired term.
The Judge has been quartermaster Of
| Canby post for 10 these many years,
and the boys don't see how they are GO
ing to run things without him to look
after the finances. His resignation
was accepted reluctantly, but as he is
| going to California to spend the winter
az soon as he RECEIVERS sufficiently from
his present spell Of sickness, the post
| could not do otherwise. A. G. Buck
made application to join the post and
| will be mustered in next week. Mr..
Buck served in the 7th Minnesota dur
ing the civil war; While the post was
in session some of the old foragers
slipped out and swiped keg of cider
from the wagon of Comrade Calkins,
took it into the ante.room, and at the
close of the meeting Comrade Calkins
was invited, along with the rest of the
boys and the members Of the relief corps
to sample the cider. Comrade Calkins
soon caught on to the joke and enjoyed
it along with the rest He said he couldn't
have done better job of foraging him
self.
Robert Leasure of Mount Hood was
down for lodge night, Friday last, re-
turning the next morning. Mr.. Leasure
tells a remarkable story of how the
even-months-old child Of Cass Wygandt
was resuscitated by Mrs, George Perkins
from what was supposed to be death
by whooping cough strangulation. 1t
seems the whole family was suffering
from the cough, and the child after a
choking fit appeared to lie lifeless. Mrs.
Wygandt's mother left Immediately to
find Mr.. Wygandt, who was working at
his fathers house. Before the grand |
mother returned, Mrs Perkins happened |
in and declared the child wa3 not dead |
After bathing the baby in hot water and |
working with it for half an hour, the
child was completely restored to life. Mr..
Wygandt, while hurrying home overlook
Mr.. Leasure and arranged with him to
dig grave. The next morning, after
Mr.. Leasure, H. H.Tomlinson and Peter
Felthausen had finished the grave, Mr..
Wygandt rode up and was glad to say
there would be no funeral. Mrs Per-
kins said the child had had "worm fits. "
For her work, Mr.. and Mrs. Wygandt
feel indeed very grateful.
R. E. HARRISON, wife and da lighter
Mary returned Sunday evening from
visit to Sam Harbison's at Albany and
Luther Harbison's at Vacaville, Cal.
They report good time at both places,
and pleasant journey They found
abundant signs of prosperity wherever
they went, but consider Hood River
equal to the best. The only point on
which Hood River is behind is in the
matter of roads. Wherever they visited
they found well graded roads and most
of them we're graveled. At Vacaville
was freely used. They ex-
tended their trip to San Francisco, where
they spent one day seeing the ocean
from the Cliff house and such other at
fractions as their time would allow.
Last Sunday was spent at University
Park with Mrs. Harbison's parents, Mr..
Ind Mrs. NV. Rand.
