Honesty Not Among Lost Virtues

The past week Frank Bryant
brought purse with two five dollar
gold pieces and fifteen cents in silver
to this office which he found at the
dance given last week by the ladies of
the auxiliary of the brotherhood Of
engineers at firemen's hall. A three
line ad. brought Mrs. E. N. Burgess
to this office. She described the purse
and contents which belonged to Mrs.
Noble, who formerly lived here, but
now resides in Everett and was here
on a visit. Some time before the
purse was lost Mrs. Noble had given it
to Mrs. Burgess to hold while she took
part in the dance, remarking that she
feared she would lose it, and in fact
did afterwards lose it.

High Grade Paving

Kalama, Washington, has recently
added to the rapidly increasing list oil
progressive cities by making an award
for Bitulithic, the durable, economical
paving.
Thorough investigation Of the mer-
its Of this paving, which is the result OF
scientific experiment and the severest
teststs, resulted in confederation of the
claims of its friends as to its desirable
ity in every way, and convinced the
taxpayers of Kalama that their interests

The constantly increasing area of
