Then there 10 our new gentlemens
furnishing store owned by E. J. Norris
Mr.. Norris can supply you with any
thing from dress suit and gold watch
to an outfit suitable for wear to the gold
fields OF Alaska
c. E. Mosman carries such a large
stock of Xmas goods that the old fashion
ed Santa Claus with his big sack Of toys
and creased slicker for sliding down
chimneys many sizes too small for him,
has no place here.
If you want new sole there are three
places in town, the Church, Jake FoA's
harness shop or if Mr.. Fox hasn't any
in stock Tom Cochrans can furnish you
with second hand one
And the doctors! We can boast of
three when the bears are all up tree
but two Of them manage to keep us on
joying health most of the time:
They keep the sinful microbes away
from our residence door
But the gay festive stork comes among

What is handler than our new tele-
phone though when you want doctor
in the middle of the night. Our man
anager, Mr.. Hoover sees that none
are slight ed in having one Of these mod
ern conveniances, and whenever An i'm
portant event happens you can get it by
wire almost as soon as through The
New Era although it lacks detail.
Now to protect our citizens and vari.

the most stalwart citizens Of our town.
has been organized and fire some cold
night whom the temperature Is about 8s
below zero is all that Is needed to try out
their loyalty for good cause.
The town water system is we'll man
aged now. careful provision having been
made that the pipes may not be apt to
freeze in coolest weather. There Is no
reason why every home cannot enjoy
modern pluming and baths With rue
little cost and Norm Davis to do the
plumbing for them.
For the women who needs to cook at
home the Walden bakery is great help
The drudgery Of baking bread and cake
can be done away with entirely in the
home and when the hens have all gone
on strike the baker must make good.
Some day we hope to plant seed that
,
ric cook stoves, but at present we are
thankful for what we have.
Automobiles are not . necessity to
our town SO long as Mr.. Timbrel and Mr.
Loucks treat us as fairly as they have in
the past.
The new school house on the hill is
much more comfortable than last winter,
new stove seemed all that was neces-
sery to make it So Now the teachers
and students can do full justice to their
books instead of taking so much blood
from the brain to warm their feet.
We must not forget to say that altho-
ugh our nearest railroad is fifty miles
distance, our good cooks namely; Mrs
Gresham, Mrs Rogers and Chef. Don
have succeed in making us think that
we live in land where all good things
grow,
Their tables are as well supplied as res
taursnts in large cities where food can
be gotten on few minutes notice.
May our minister and family enjoy
our progress and prosperity and we the
people work for. and cheerfully support
such . worthy man.
Never before since Walden town was
known, have the people had the pleasure
of listening to the inspiration of suoh an
evangelist as the Rev. Beadles, Our
chirch WAS filled with members, and
many feel better for his coming in to
our midst. May we at all times be ro-
minded Of his teachings and the teach
ings Of the man who brought him here,
In closing we catch a glimpse Of what
s before us. We hear the blasting just
out side the city limits, we see the work
men approaching, and hear the whistle
Of the "choo choo' cars. Our sleep is
distubed at first but why should it bei
Have we not heard Mr.. Donelson' Il
traction engine teoting when it came to
town and Mr.. higgins steam engine blow

The bachelor, poor fellow in his lone
ly cabin with no music but that of the
coyotes hungry howl, will not be allowed
to enjoy his 'sour bread in single bless
edness any louger, and the cowboy mus
give up his chaps for the new Museum
And it all will come ro pass perhaps
with in the next two years. Our wait
ing will not be in vain.
