LAWN PARTY
GRAND SUCCESS

Last Tuesday evening the Lawn
Party given by the ladies Of the
Methodist Church took place and
despite the unfavorable condition
of the weather, a surprisingly large
crowd ventured forth to enjoy the
program that had been arranged
The solos rendered by the Misses
Ritchford, Brown and Mrs. Cardi-
nal, were well received and brought
forth the applaudits of the crowd.
Likewise the solo by Rev. Ball.
Little Leola and "Sister" Carr
rendered a recitation which was
characteristic of the two little tots,
and they received loud applause.
The little farce by Miss Ida Petit
grew, Cora Christensen and Joseph
Cardinal, was exceedingly humor-
Gus and created much amusement.
Games were played on the spacious
lawn so generously donated for
the occasion by Mrs. Pettigrew.
The last but not the least surprise
OF the evening was the delicious
lunch served by the ladies.

FOUND AFTER BEING
LOST MANY YEARS

A good many years ago Henry
Decker of Carson was camping in
Hope Valley and one day while
tramping over the hills lost a
watch charm which he nrized very
highly, 1t being a keepsake. 1t
was presented to him by the Car
son Encampment, |. o. o. f. on
the night that he retired from the
principal chair. He had given up
all hope long ago of ever finding
the cherished keepsake. However,
strange things do happen and a
few days ago while in Hope Val
ley K. ". Bassman noticed a
bright object protruding from the
surface of the ground. He stopped
and picked il up and the inscrip-
tion revealed the owners name.
1t will be restored to Mr.. Decker.

DUCK HUNTERS

Tuesday morning and long before
dawn had made its appearance,
the bombardment on the feathered
tribe commenced. The birds are
none too numerous but neverthe-
some good bags are reported.
A great deal # the hunting ter
ritory is closed to the hunter be-
cause of the carelessness of a few
who have abused the privilege here

different ranches. Stock have
been killed, gates left open and
fence boards removed to kindle
fires of the early-morning hunters.

many by excluding all which un-
