Bert Sowles was here there and
every WHARF,. working his utmost to
make the log rolling memorable
event in the history of Woodcraft in
this city.
Any number of ladies gave their
work to make their portion of the pro-

in truth.
The Women of woodcraft also had a
special meeting for initiation last
night and there we've visitors present

On the whole the log rolling was
one of the biggest events in woodcraft
in Western Colorado and will so be
regarded until some thing larger
comes about to take its place.
