CAMPING ON PE-
SHAST|N CREEK
Members of Monitor Ep
worth League Had Pleas
ant Outing July "a.

Monitor, Wash. July 8-The Mon
itor Epworth League arranged to go
out camping for the 4th. and ar
rangements were made, camping out
fit provided and early Friday morn
ing found many hustling and bustl-
ing around preparatory to getting an
early start. The wagons were load
ed and drove up the Peshastin creek
about five miles, where suitable
ground was found and camp was
pitched. Twenty-one answered roll
call to the first dinner out. J. w.
Coffin being elected manager and
"commissary clerk" had charge of
the business and soon assigned the
duties of preparing the meals to diff
ferent members Of the company, thus
enabling all to know just when his
or her time came to act as cook, and
not in one instance did anyone fail
to be on hand when the time came,
and such palatable dishes as were
prepared and set before us would
tempt the most delicate appetite and
many were the remarks about this
or that tasting lust like mother
used to make Talk about being
clean around the camp, we actually
saw lone of the boys out securing
the soap and wishing he had some
''Old Dutch Cleanser" to use so it
would be fit to use in the ''dishwa-
ter.
All went well and with plenty of
good reading, time passed very pleas
antly and quiet reigned supreme un-
til the morning of the 4th began to
dawn, when the sentinel on duty, at
an appointed time, went around and
called some of 1.-The boys" and such
a volley of cannonading as was
heard. 1t seemed those old hills
would be shook from center to cir
conference.
Many were the vehicles of differ
/
ent kinds that passed, going farther
up the creek, some to camp for a
few days, others just for a day, and
in all cases the fishing rod was in
sight. The Monitor Merry Max
ers" had several nice fish frys, and
on the whole all departed with an
expression of pleasure at being pres
ent. Several non-members of the
society were in attendance and we
think none would hesitate to go
again if camping was proposed.
Those who were out were: J. w.
! Coffin and wife, j. Myers and fam
! lily, J. l.. Weythman and family, Miss
Elizabeth White, Kate and Hiram
Montgomery, cara and Ona Smith,

The highest number in camp at
