The real HALEY Comet--or whatever il
was that switched its tail over the earth
not long ago-drew millions of people to-
gether in more or less fearsome expec-

HARD TIMES SOCIAL.

There were indications of the exist

the makeup of many of those who at
tended the hard-times social given by
the Ladies' Aid of the NJ. E. church in
Sigrist hall last Friday night. There
was keen rivalry among those in the

and battered and raggedy point of
view. Including those not so conspicu-
Gus for restitution in the line of pre-
sentable raiment, there was large
attendance, and most jolly evening
repaid the patrons for being out. There
was an inquisitorial committee on duty

in wearing anything bordering upon

NEW LODGE AT RIVERSIDE.

There will be great gathering OF
the Knights of the Three Links at
Riverside this Friday evening, from
towns in touch of that place where
lodges of the l. o. 0. f. are in exist
ence. The occasion for the gathering
of the clan is the installation of lodge
of the order at Riverside. Oroville
will send large delegation, and to aid
in the good work of putting candidates
through the pace degree team will
be included among the bunch. Loomis,
Conconully and Okanogan will also be
largely represented in all probability,
as there is nothing like the making of
new lodge to draw members to-
gether from a distance. Riverside has
a reputation for hospitable welcome
to visitors, and it is certain that those
who attend the ceremonies will meet
with a warm and royal reception.
With the organization of lodge at
Riverside, the county will have eight
flourishing Odd Fellow lodges, for
wherever the seed is sown there the
order grows and flourishes.

BOUND FOR THE FAR NORTH.

George Bird, who has large circle
of friends in the north part of this
county, was in town several days the
latter part of last week, coming over
from Republic where he spent the
winter. Mr.. Bird will soon leave for
Seattle, where he will join a govern
ment surveying party in the capacity
of packer that is engaged establishing
boundary lines in Alaska. Mr.. Bird
has been with the same outfit for sew
eral summers, and has had some rough
experiences in the frozen north. He
says that the party crossed lake in
Alaska last May on ice that was six
feet thick. The work in hand will re-
quire several years to finish up, as the
season for outdoor labor is brief. Here
tofore the surveying crew has been

says, they will have to winter in the
