WINTERED IN VALLEY
THIRTY.FivE YEARS AGO

George Holmes of Cove, who with
his family visited relatives here over
Christmas, was among the first to
winter in this valley. He spent the
winter of 74-75 here, when there
were only nine families from the
head of the canyon in Lower valley
all the way up to upper Prairie
Creek.
Mr.. Bramlet kept postoffice" in
Lower Valley, the mail being brought
from Summerville that far by the
Government. The settlers along AL
der Slope and on Prairie, Greek
took turns going to Bramlet's for the
mail and bringing all for this end UP
to Vesey's, where it was called for.
Mr.. Holmes helped build the first

Enterprises Famous
Barber Shop
Widely and Favorably Known
Throughout the Northwest To
Be Still Further Improved.

A pleasing announcem ent is made
in this issue of the intention of w.
l. Calvin to again remodel and re-
furnish his barber shop, next door
to the postoffice. From the past
statewide reputation of this shop il
can be confidently expected that EN-
terprise will continue to boast of
the most unique and finest equipped
tolsorial establishment in the whole
Northwest
Mr.. Calvin has a knack Of doing
things that are not only up-to-date
but entirely original. Seven years
ago he built the present stone build
ing occupied by his shop. 1t was
recognized then that his plan and
equipment was far in advance of
what the town could afford, but he
proceeded to furnish and improve
1t until 1t became the mecca for
hundreds OF visitors, transient and
otherwise. In addition to the fine
building and furnishings it was all
so his aim to keep the service
equal to or better than could be Sc
cured I'm other cities.
Old-tdmers testify that when il
came to public spirit and boosting
for the public interest Mr.. Calvin
was and always has been i'm the
forefront. He has always subscribed
literally to all community enter
prdses and never shirked a respon
sibility.
The public will look forward with
pleasure to the further improvement
of Calvin's Barber Shop, because
everyone realizes that he knows how
to do 1t in the most unique and ap-
proved fashion. He will no doubt
make 1t cne of the assets OF the
CITY from an advertising standpoint
to ably supplement the constant eff
forts of its business institutions tc

tinct advance in the construction of

Old Funk storeroom is being changed.
The office will be just back of the

was will be the S stairway to the Of

A special convenience of the Funk
store is the large, we1l-lighted base

There will be office suites OF
two and three rooms each on the

Mrs. A. j. Shea of Duluth. Mimi.
aunt of W. II. Shea, Jr., of this city,
was robbed of $4,000 at Alki Point,
Seattle, on Monday and has reported
the case to the police of that city.
The money was in currency and had
been hidden between the sheets of a
bed while Mrs. Shea and her sister
were absent from their home. On their
return they found that the house had
been ransacked. The money had
been sent to MIS-. Shea by her hus-
band and was to have been deposited
in the bank. Mrs Shea held it over
Friday because she was tired and over
Saturday because it was rainy. The
banks were closed Sunday and Mon
day, and it was during the absence of
the members of the family that the
coin was taken.
Mrs. Shea was visiting Ms. John
England, who is an aunt of Mr.. Shea
of this city, being sister of his father.
She had $4,000 worth of jewels in the
house which the robbers missed. Mr..
Shea says that his unc'e and aunt, who
are chiluleSs, are in comfortable cir
cumstances The money, he says was
from the sale of a portion of their
timber and other property in Mime
sofa.
