Civil Service Examinations.

The civil service examinations
which took place here on the 23rd
and oath inst, under the direc.
ton of Supervisor j. w. Nelson,
were quite successful, though the
weather was not favorable for out
side work. Fourteen men took
the examination, aud it is quite
certain that they will, or nearly
all, pass. The men were as fol.
lows: Burrdell Alyea, Rockriver
Mark Edick, Saratoga; William
f. Will, M. 81. Sartor and Wal
lace s. Averill, Keystone; VIM. g.

ardson, Widdowfeld; j. o
Eames, Hog Park; James G. Jen-
sen, Woods; James w. Clements.
Riverside, and Richard Barnette.
Wheatland.
The examination consisted OF
written questions and answers,
practical horse back riding, pack
ing and surveying. 1t was CON
Quoted in the Hotel Wolf annex,
where the Lien were with chairs,
tables and writing material. The
packing took place in the Wind
sor barns and the surveying in
front of the grand stand at the
race track. Mr.. Nelson said ev-
eryone got 100 in surveying,
which is quite remarkable and
shows the aptitude of western
men. The packing was also ex-
cellent, all but one man passing
in that and there was no evidence
that he, too, would not have pas
sed had he not declined to take
the test.
They were IA fine lot of men and
five OF six of them were employed
at once by Mr.. Nelson, as he was
in need of their services.

engagements for an early drive.
Work was begun on Brush creek
last week, but the cold snap shut
the water off and work had to be
abandoned for the present. The
storm of last week deposited at
least a foot of snow on the lower
ranges and probably two or three
feet on the tops of the ranges.
MIR. Olson thinks the storm added
much to the snow already there
and believes it will be a great
help.
MIR. Olson says they will have
about 100000 ties this year. U.s.
ually the company is unable to
supply the U. p. with all the ties
it wants, hut the order was cut
down over half this year. He
says the same thing occurred in
orders for mining props from the
U. p. coal mines. They will have
about 100000 pieces. This is
the usual drive. AS most of the
timber to be driven is on the En-
campment river and Douglas
creek. it will be possible to get it
ont, ven though the water may
be low. 1t is likely that some of
the ties on the small tributaries
will get hung up for lack of wa
ter.

EPISCOPAL
RECEPTION
rendered Rev. and Mrs. McCul.
Tough One of the Events
of the Season.

The reception rendered Rev.
and Mrs. j. 2. Mccullough, at
Jensen hall Tuesday night, was
one of the most successful and
pleasant social events that has oc-
Cured in Saratoga for many
years.
1t was expected that Bishop
Funston would be present but he
was not able to come.
The committee on arrange
ments, Mrs. Frank j. Cramer,
Mrs. w. G. Summons, Mrs. Ed
ward j. Fenchurch, and Mrs.
Charles Couzens, were exceeding
ly happy in the arrangements and
decorations of the hall. Potted
plants and draperies, together
with rugs and art squares made
the large hall look like a drawing
and the effect was highly crafty
ing. The hall was really beauti-
full and everyone was pleased.
About sixty people assembled
at 9 o'clock to do honor to the oc-
casion. Mrs. Gustave Jensen and
Mrs. Geo. A. Bible received the
visitors and introduced them to
Rev. and Mrs. Mccullough and
the hall was soon a scene of social
enjoyment. Mrs. Bible and Mrs.
Gustave Jensen took turns presid-
ing at the piano and rendered
most enjoyable music. Mrs. Dyer
favored the company with a fine
solo and was compelled to respond
to an encore. Mr.. Couzens, who
is an excellent violinist, played
several pieces which was enthusi-
astically received. Fruit punch
and cakes were served at a stand
presided over by Mrs. Cramer and
M rs. Fenchurch.
About lO:30 the center of the
hall was cleared and a little dane
ing was INDUCED in, The occa-
sion was a very happy one and ev.
cry one present was pleased. The
Sun has been requested to say
that the credit for the beautiful
and tasteful arrangements of the
hall was due to the Mrs. Cramer,
Mrs. Samnons, Mrs. Fenchurch
and Mrs. Couzens. They certain
ly deserve great praise for the
skill displayed and the resul,
spoke for itself. Both Rev. and
Mrs. Mccullough were very much
pleased with the reception and
feel gratified over the result.
