SUFFER THE ANGELS TO'

BENEVOLENT AND PRoTEc.
TIVE ORDER OF ANGEL
ELKS ENJOY A BANQUET
OF ANGEL CAKE,

When The members oi Astoria
Lodge No. lSO, B. p. Q, T., met at
their hall in the Odd Fellows build
ing on Tuesday night last, Tor one OF
their enjoyable sessions, it was dis
covered that the larder for the even,
ing's refreshment had been amplihed
by at least two dozen delicate Angel
Cakes. II was taken as one OF
those pleasant gratuities that fall the
way OF the Elks and no particular
inquiry was made as to the generous
source they hailed from. 1t was quite
sufficient that they were there, and
that the boys were there, the two cir
cumstanees holding but little prom
ise Tor the safety OF the dainty
cdibles.
When the time came to approach
the tables, the Elk appetite was sharp
and appTeciative, and the soft and
toothsome CONNECTION were soon dis
tributed in scores of hands and lin
gered there only long enough to be
gratefully lodged where they would
make the best impression possible.
There was all manner Of praiseiul
comment passed during the absorp'
ton OF the Angel Cakes and not a
| little speculation as to the friendly
donor might be, but not enough TO
interfere with the eating OF the last
morsel OF the unusual luxury, One OF
! the victims" OF the evening was a
well known baker Of this city Victor
Hermann, and for a while it was con
ceded that he had d-sent up the cake as a
peace-offering against too-spectacu-
lar line of initiative work so far as he
might figure; and again it was
thought perhaps the ladies OF the Re-
bekah lodge had left them over from
1 their recent banquet in the same hall;
and once again the conviction struck
home that maybe the Odd Fellows
had laid in the bountiful supply in
behalf Of their entertainment due to
come of tonight. But no one ever
surmised that the reception commit

dainties, until unequivocal evidence
Of the fact that was furnished last
evening OF the grave fact. and now
the boys are in a rare quandary and
at their wits end to know how they
can make good on the invasion.
But in some way peculiarly their
own, they will cover the case quite
| to the satisfaction OF the despoiled

GEORGE LEWIS FARM SOLD
Twenty Thousand Dollars Paid For
$40 Acres, With Livestock
and Machinery

Last Friday the George w. Lewis
farm, ten miles south of Pullman,
was sold to L. G. Money of Dalkena,
Wash, for 100000. This is at the
rate Of $62.5O per acre, but the sale
included the livestock and farm i'm
PIGMENTS AMI the land was valued in
the trade At S55 per acre Mr.. Lewis
expects to leave about May l for an
overland trip 20 Arizona, in hopes
tnat the trip and living out of doors
will benefit his health.
The sale shows the great advance
mcnt made in this country in the
past / 2 years and the wonderful OPP
portunities for agriculture in the
northwest. Mr.. Lewis is a pioneer
of this country, his father being
among the first settlers of Whitman
county. Like many others George
lost his land in the panic following
1898, and he rented land for several
years until he could get another start.
He made money by farming rented
land and invested his savings in a
tract Of 100 acres for which he paid
1918 per acre. a high price at that
time. Farming this and the rented
land he made more profits and in
vested it in land at $40 per acre and
in this way secured 500 acres. That
was 10 years ago Today he is en-
abled tn leave the country with sew
eral teams and wagons and $4,000,
all made by farming in the country
near Pullman in ten years with a
start of nothing but ability to work
and unhounded faith in the future of
this country.
That there are even greater oppor-
tunities here now than there were
ten years ago, is admitted by all, the
only difference being that it takes
more money to buy land There are
hundreds of men who have done as
we'll or better than Mr. Lewis has
in the same length of time and there
are hundreds of equally good oppor-
tunities here now for a REPETITION of
his success in farming

question OF Holding Annual Encamp-
Inent of W. 8. c. Cadets is left
to Them

IT is up to" the cadets of Wash
ington State College to say whether
they will hold an encampm emit this
year. The faculty has given the
young soldiers the privilege of hold
ing an encampment after the close
OF the school year A serious OBJ
lection was raised to this by many of
the cadets on the grounds that they
had employment dating from the
close of school on June Is.
To obyiate this objection the fac
ulty has decided to have commence
ment one week early, and let the ca
diets have the remaining week of the
school year for the encampment. to
be held at Seattle at the Alaska-Yu-
kon-Pacific exposition. The question
of whether they will go at that time,
or not hold an encampment this
year was left to vote of the cadets,
who abe to decide the question. If
they decide to go the program for
comm encement week will merely be
set forward one week and the COM
mencement day exercises will be
held one week earlier than was origi-
nally planned.

MAY RUN MORE TRAINS
Professoh Thatcher Expects to Run
Trains on the G. n. and n. T..
Roads in June

Wednesday Prof R. w. Thatcher,
director of the experiment station,
sent to Henry Blakely, general
freight agent of the Northern Paci-
fic; and NJ. j. Costello, general
freight agent of the Great Northern
schedule for thains to be run on
the roads mentioned in western
Washington. These schedules pro-
vide for a demonstration train to be
run over the line of the Northern
Pacific from Vancouver to Seattle,
June 21 to 26, inclusive, and to COW
er all of the agricultural districts of
western Washington between the
cities mentioned
The plan for the Great Northern
train is to run it from Seattle to
Blain, over the Great Northern from
Tuesday, June %, to July 2. That
would cover all of the territory north
of Seattle on the Great Northern
road.
If these schedules are accepted by
the men to whom they wehe sent the
announcement will be made and the
affair will be thoroughly advertised
in the western part of the state. That
section has been clamoring for de-
monstration trains for some time and
it is hoped the demand will be sup
piled for the trains will do the farm
ers good and will advertise Pullman
and Washington State College, to
the benefit of both.
