THANKSGIVING EXERCISES.
Pupils OF L'Anse High School Render
Beautiful and Appropriate
Exercises.

Wednesday afternoon the pupils
OF L 'Anse High school participated
10 beautiful and appropriate exer-
cises in commemoration of Thanks
giving day, in the assembly room OF
the school.
Music AND recitations well in keep.
ing with the occasion we're rendered
by various children from the differ
ent departments and were greatly
enjoyed by all present. There was
fair representation of parents
present. but far from the number
which should have been. Parents
apparently little realize the necessity
of their presence upon such occa-
sions, and We believe that when such
pains are taken on the part of the
teachers ard pupils in the prepara-
tion Of such exercises, it is the
special duty of mothers particularly
to be in attendance, as IL not only
encourages those who take part but
lends greater interest in your
child by the teacher.

WIFE OUT OLD DEBT.
The Grand Bazaar and Supper Given
BY the Ladies OF Sacred Heart
Church q BIG Success.

Twas o grand success. This is
the verdict rendered by the public
concerning the bazaar and supper
given last Saturday evening under
the auspices OF the Ladies of Sacred
Heart church.
At an early hour people from the
surrounding places and likewise
scores of local ones began to arrive
at the Opera House where the event
was held, and from $50 until 1870
in the evening those who had the
various branches Of the affair in
charge were kept very busy attend
ing to the wants OF the many.
During the above stated hour a
bountiful supper was served, of
which nearly every one 10 attend
ance partook. and the patronage
given the event far exceeded all ex-
pectations,
IN speaking OF the decorations and
general arrangement of the booths,
those who had the matter in charge
are certainly deserving of great
credit. The colors chosen for decOra-
ton were varied, but were. so woven
together as to present most pleas
ing picture to the eye.
The attractions which were offered
to the public were many and ELECTED
much enjoyment for all present.
Upon the left OF the hall were located
the novelty booth. the orange tree,
the apron and fancy work booths.
Ia the front OF the stage was TO be
found the delight of the little folks,
the doll booth, while on the right
hand side of the room were the
flower and candy booths.
The stage was occupied by the
dispensers of ice cream, while in the
balcony was to be found Madame
Serene, to which place many spin
sters sbyly slipped to have their
fortunes told.
During the evening music was
furnished by an electric piano and
did much toward the enlivening OF
the occasion.
At the conclusion Of the bazaar
the various prizes were awarded,
viz: A beautiful doll Florence
Moran; q sacred scroll, Mrs. W. l.,
Mason. In the grand drawing the
prizes we're awarded as follows:
Box cigars, each, Allen Rossiter,
John Mamma, cut glass dish, Miss
Julia Norton; blankets, George Bar
tell bag OF vegetables, Miss Aurelia
Murphy; fruit cake, NJ. Deschaine,
ham, W. B. Seifert; box candy, Miss
Norton, picture, Fred Otto graph
ophone, Miss Norton; tier wood,
Art Beaumont; turkey, Mrs. Fred
King; gallon wine, John Gipp; set
OF dishes, NJ. Voetsch; jar Jelly, L..
Menard.
The ladies OF the society are now
reaping the reward which they have
for the past few years earnestly
labored. The fair was a success both
from a financial and social stand
point. The receipts OF the event
amounted to $l,l37, which we are
informed will wipe out the long
hanging Indebtedness OF the church,
and now Sacred Heart church is
one OF the few which can boast OF
its being free from membranes.
In conclusion the management
Wishes TO thank the public for its
liberal patronage, and in turn the
public extends most hearty thank
to the president, Mrs. p. Brennan,
and her corps of assistants for this
pleasing event.

Mr.. Faa has a barn 22x40 feet, with

water, evidently having tapped sub

Having experimental for many
months along the Snake river in Idaho,
E. E. Watrous, who worked in Salt
Lake about seven years for the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone company. has
perfected placer gold mining machine
which he claimes SOLVES the problem of
saving the fake gold with which the
Snake and Green rivers abound, says
the Salt Lake Republican
Mr.. Watrous has been located near
Rosa post Office, Idaho. since early last
spring. Yesterday he arrived IN Salt
Lake and at once made preparations to
have his machine patented. He tells
what his machine is accredited with
doing but deems it wise not to discribe
its mechanism
The Snake river is gold mine from
its source to its mouth. said Mr.. Wat
rous- Il do not believe there is yard
aleng the river that will produce less
than 50 cents worth of gold There
have beer yards of sand placered that
produced SIS TO the yard. These of
course are the exception and any pros
pector would be foolish to hunt for par
tieularly well gold-laden strips There
is in my opinion at least seventy-fve
miles of the Snake river that will pay
81. so yard in flake gold
1T has always been mystery how to
save the flakes. The flakes are much
lighter than bit of paper of the same
size and float TO the top of the water in
the ordinary panning system.
Il am certain have perfected ma
chine that will collect every particle Of
fake gold that goes into it. have
watched for color behind the machine
and have never found the semblance of
gold On the other hand have found
all the color remained in the machine.
''In mining gold on the Snake river
it is necessary to save quantities of
gold The fakes are so thin that am
sure that it would take many thousand
flakes to make a solid inch of gold in
thickness. | have demonstrated to my
satisfaction that one can shovel twenty
yards of dirt day into the machine
and save every particle of gold. .
Mr.. Watrous feels that his invention
will revoiutionize placer mining along
the Snake river. He declares his in
vention is different from any that has
been tried. Il went to work this sum
mer determined to find out how to save
all the free gold in yard of sand in u
practical way. am certain | have
solved the problem. he said.
