Mr.. and Mrs. George Briskey will
leave next Sunday for three months
visit to their old home in Alabama
which they have not seen for % years
Their youngest son, Willie, will accom-
pany them. They will spend the time
among friends and relatives in Ala
bama and Georgia and anticipate amost
enjoyable time which we trust they
will realize. Mr.. Briskey and his estl-
mable wife are among the oldest settlers
in this valley and are highly esteemed
as citizens. Mr.. Briskey owns 100
acres OF as fine valley land as can be
found in the state of Washington. 1t is
valued at from 800 to $3.50 per acre.
At Cashmere they will be joined by
Vim. Briskey, a brother of George
Briskey's, and Dave Treadwell and
wife who also hail from the Sunny
South, and have not seen the sun kisst
land of their youth for more than 81
years.
What a world of memory the mere
mention of such trip stirs up in our
mind We, too, left the scenes of our
childhood some 80 years ago and have
ever cherished desire to sometime re-
turn to the old haunts and friendships,
with which our memory loves to play
as the sunshine does with flowers.
We own up to bit of envy, but take
comfort in the thought that perhaps,
after all, there is more pleasure in the
anticipation than in the actual realiza-
ton of such journey.
Perhaps, someday, we, too, shall

Just what the Lamb-Davis Lumber
Co. will do with the logs that are scat
tered along the Wenatchee river be-
tween here and the town of Wenatchee
as a result of the food has not yet been
fully decided on. A small portable
sawmill may be used to reduce them to
lumber or they may be sold to some
sawmill man. Mr.. Davis, the general
manager and his assistant, Mr.. Carr,
