burg and this city resulted in a score of
6 to in favor of Aberdeen. 1t is re-
ported that the Aberdeen men had more

he come to this country and raise funds
enough to built his church of stone in
stead OF wood. Acting on the sugges.
ton, he is now in this country, and he
reports considerable success. Mr.. Khat.
ter comes with proper credentials, and
is locally endorsed BY Rev. B. Garand,
pastor of the Roman Catholic chnrch

The match game between the young
ladies high school basket ball teams of
Montesano and this place played Friday
evening was by far the best one of the
season. Both teams played well, and
when time was called the score was
even. This being the last of the season,
it was necessary that one of the teams
should score point before the game
could be called off, and it took just IA
minutes for the points to be won, when
Montesano was declared the victor by
two points. Although thu game offici-
ally is called draw, and both teams
were cheered to the echo, Montesano
feels pretty good over The two points to
her credit.
