him this summer, returned the latter
part of last week from sojourn of
some days at Wannicut lake, where he
gave the medicinal waters of that big
pool a thorough trial, and is feeling
very much improved.
Jack Gormley, who has charge of
the Nighthak mine, spent Tuesday
night in town. He reports the stamp
mill again running after a shut down
of several days owing to some break
age of machinery. The mill is pound
ing ore from the upper workings and

The game of ball Sunday between
the professional men and the band
boys was not an intensely exciting af-
fair, and the patched up teams played
with an Indifference that indicated loss
of interest in the pastime. Very few
were out, and there was a total lack of
the customary roofing. 1t probably
about winds up the season. In passing
it may be stated that the professionals

Jas. L. Forde returned from his trip
to Portland Monday evening" While
his time was pretty well devoted to
swift action in moving from place to
place Mr.. Forde was enabled ON his
homeward trip to spend couple of
hours at the Seattle exposition one
evening. But that was only a tantal-
ling taste, as little could be seen in
that limited time. The fair is so beau
tiful to behold that Mr.. torde will
make it point to go again later in
the season when he can stay longer.
Fred. j. Fine and A. Signs drove
over to Loomis Saturday for the pur-
pose OF taking down and moving to

The lawn party at the NJ. +. church
Thursday evening of last week was
well attended, by ladies and children
more especially. The evening was
made especially for the purpose from
a climatic point of view, although the
patrons were compelled to exercise a
trile too vigorously protecting their
persons from a winged insect with a
voice like a buzz-saw and proboscis
like a rapier. The program as rener-
ed was a very pleasing feature, the
singing especially giving evidence that
there is considerable musical talent
in the community. Much ice cream
and other edibles disappeared, and the
piano fund received Il healthy boost.
