Family Reunion.

Last Thursday, November 26, at
the home of II. P. Nicholson, Sr., a
family reunion was held, at which
twenty-five children, grand children
and great grand children assembled,
for whom a bountiful Thanksgiving
dinner was spread. The party con-
sisted of H. p. Nicholson, ST., and
wife, Mrs. Elsie Matheson of Rock
ford Iowa, j. H. Logsden and family
of DEBORAH, Mrs Elme Emerson and
family of Bakersfield California,
John Logsdon and family, and Miss
Jennie Bacon, the latter from Mon
ona. The occasion was the first meet
in twenty years, and most happy
meeting it was, indeed. The event
will be long remembered by those
who participated, and we hope that
all will live to enjoy many more hap
Ply occasions of this nature.

Charles H. Treat, treasurer of the
United States, in his annual report
calls attention to the fact that owing
to the disturbed relations between
the income and outgo of the govern
ment there was deficiency last year
of $5S,070,201, as against a surplus
for the preceding year of $84,236,
$50, and points out that the total
revenues for 1908 exceeded any pre-
ceding Iscal year except 1907.
Treasurer Treat declares that thus
it is apparent that trouble is not
decreasing receipts, but increasing ex-
penditures, which situation the treas
ury was able to meet with the excess
of revenues which had accumulated
during the previous years.

WATER POWER HELPS RAIL-
ROAD.
Electricity Generated from Mountain
Streams BOres TUNED Through
Mountains.

Never before in the history of rail-
reads was a great building project
carried out so quitely as the Pacific
coast extension of the st. Paul road.
In this great undertaking, which
means so much to the Pacific North
west, more than $1O0,000,0O0 is be-
ing expended with as little fuss as an
ordinary business enterprise would
make in expanding a few thousand
dollars. The St.Paul road is coming
into country that needs the aid of
the promoter or the land agent. In
timber alone there is almost a COM
potency for the new line, for the ST.
Paul management has been given
assurance that not fewer than $4,000
carloads will be given it the first year
after the work has been completed.
One of the wonderful facts regard
ing the construction of this new
tranS-continental line, which will
stretch from Chicago and the twin
cities by the way of Butte, Montana.
to Seattle, and Tacoma, Washington,
is the thoroughness with which it is
being constructed. 1t is not gen
orally known, for example, that over
the 500 miles of mountain electricity
is to be used as the motive power
and the engines will be 2O0-ton cleo
trio motors. Down the sides of the
Bitter Root mountains are pouring a
sufficient number of streams of fur
nlsh abundant power for all of the
electric motors which the St. Paul
Will need to handle its trains over the
mountain division. These streams
are to be harnessed at the cost of
millions. The boldness of conception
and the unobtrusive way in which the
work is being executed challenge
admiration. Through the fastness of
the Bitter Root range a tunnel $3.50
feet long is being constructed by
electrical power and through it will
be operated trains hauled by motors.
One end of this tunnel will open in
the state of Montana and the other
will land the traveller in Idaho, and
It's grade will not exceed .02 of l per
cent.
In genera the work on the west
end OF the road between Butte and
Seattle is nearly Anisned on some of
the divisions, but the long tunnels
and the heavy fills will take some
time to complete. Rails are now laid
in five different sections, but the
track is not continuous for more than
12O miles. On the Seattle-Tacoma
line the track has been finished from
Black River Junction to Summer,
Wash. East of Seattle the road is
completed for distance of seventy
five miles, and work over the Snoq-
ualmie Pass of the Cascades is being
rapidly pushed. On one division there
are at least sixty fills to be made of
an average depth of seventy feet, and
the road between Black River and
the tunnel will cost probably $4,000
a mile.
Through the st. Paul Pass, in the
Bitter Root mountains, work is fur
Their along; the grading is completed
and the bridges are built. In Seattle
the terminal work is scarcely begun.
In view of the fact, however, that the
greater part of the extension has been
done during a time of financial dep
resion, the work in general is a
marvel in the annals of railway
construction. Exchange.

Sunday school lie teacher asked !:

the teacher, with considerable spirit,
said: You, little boy on the back

On the first doy of June, the gates
of the Observation-Disclosures expos
ition at Seattle will open. Every
building will be finished, every sea-
sonable exhibit will be in place. every
road will be paved, every path laid
out, every garden will be radiant
with flowers. If the visitor comes
on the last day, or in August, or on
the opening day, he or she will find
things the same. The promise or the
officials of the exposition to break all
previous records and thus establish a
precedent will be realized. Seattle
men feel that they must live up 10
the reputation of the city as pace
that does big things, and they are
working with characteristic prompt
ness. energy and enterprise.

JEWELLERY.

This is our fourth holiday season
in the jewelry business and we hope
to make it the most successful of any
preceding year. Early last year we
began preparing for this holiday
trade, closing out the lines that were
becoming out of date and hunting
the market for the newer and better
goods. We believe our stock shows
the careful work we have accomplish
ed and every department of this bus
mess is stocked with the newest and
best goods obtainable. When we first
engaged in this line we decided to
handle nothing of tn cheaper or in
ferior grades and this we have strict
ly followed out. There is not an item
in our entire stock that we are not
willing to guarantee to the fullest
extent and always stand by this prop
osition; your money back if any ar
ticle bought of us is not exactly as
represented. Every article we put in
stock comes from the best manufact-
urers. The cheap jewelry with which
the country is flooded cannot be
found in our store.
Our prices have always been the
lowest and the quality of the goods
we sell cannot be surpassed. Our
special sale of watches will continue
until Dec. oath.
Our selection of Diamond rings,
stick pins and brooches and the bet
ter goods generally is full at this
time. In hand painted china the new
and beautiful effects must be seen
to be appreciated. Our stock of cut
glass surpasses any previous stock
In silverware and sterling goods we
believe we can prove the assertion
that the quality and price and assort-
ment cannot be equalled by any store
outside the larger cities.
In moderate priced goods such as
Watch Chains, Charms, Fobs, Hat
let's, Belt Pins and Buckles, Back
Combs, Vail Pins, Souvenir Spoons.
our stock is unusually large. Flat
ware in plated and sterling silver.
Sterling silver novelties. Silver Plat
ed and sterling silver toilet sets. Gold
plated and mantel clocks. Fountain
and gold pens and hundreds of other
novelties and articles which we can
not enumerate in this space, makes
our stock a perfect place for the
Christmas buyers of jewelry.
We want every one to see our
beautiful stock whether you buy or
not.
Very truly,
Brunt & Parman,

Aside from the purely technical
character of the play of ''The Thief

wizard-like skill, and the players are

wright develops with such inquest
