AS I stated before that we ex
pected to have one of the most
Interesting, if not one of the most
exciting spelling matches that
has ever taken place between the
two>schools, and without a doubt
my pupils we've excited to the
extent.
want to say to you pupils,
that YOU scared my pupils down,
but it is hard for me to believe
that you spoiled them down.
Some of my pupils were ''down
In the mouth" ever it, but I told

we are expecting to come out all
right when We have our ne,

overwhelming JOY that God has

AT CATHOLIC CHURCH

With great pOmD and splendOr,

most elaborate marriage ceremonies
which has been seen in the city for
some time, when Miss Mabel Tier
ney, Of Coeur DAlene, Idaho, and
Mr. Joseph s. willett, Of Salem,
plIghed their troth. The large altar
candles we're lighted in honor Of the
occasion, which Is a mark Of unusual
respect
While VOWS we're being exchanged
and while the nuptlal mass was be-
ing said, several excellent solos were
sung by Father Maher, Miss ollve

and followed, win prove compass

facts and figures given are startling
in their immelsity. But the speaker
claimed he can furnish proof by ship
ping receipts and authentic data. He
also showed that other shipping points
as Aumsyiiie and Shaw were inn
menstly benefited by products grown
and shipped from this vicinity
Other gentlemen present expressed
their views on the matter and highly
endorsed the club and promised their
hearty support, and II necessary finan-

sublimity. Or, Feb. 6. = sublimity,
the prosperous, lulled to peaceful
slumbers and inactivity by many years
Of plenty, has at last awoke from her
lethargy OF sleep. Last night citizens
from Fern Ridge, Waldo Hills, Victor
Point and many other adjacent points
augmented by about fifty citizens OF
sublimity, that loyeliest village Of the
plain" assembled at the city hall at
the call Of few prominent gentlemen
for business relating to each any every
one Individually and collectively, and
that Of the whole community. After
an informal chat and smoker, a sug-
gestion to organize was proposed and
accepted with eclat.
w. II. Downing a native son Of this
section and large realty holder, was
called upon and made most eloquent
plea for advancement along progress
sive lines. Stating the trite fact that
IN this age and time, II we want any
thing we must go after It, with our
whole heart and soul and with all our
strength. He complimented Subllmity
and farmers Of this community on
their past work and progressiteness,
citing the fact that Sublimity has more
crushed rock road than any other dis
trict in the state, and that in the near
future will have a series Of hard we'll
finished roads over the entire district.
The speaker outlined many ways and
means for the betterment Of the com
munity, and called particular attention
OF the people to the fact that many
proposed railroads are now being sur
veyed within this very district and
near this vicinity, and he proposed
that we be in the game to secure at
least one, as we could show the rail-
road people that we are justified be-
yond a shadow of doubt in our
claims.
The next speaker, Dr. Neil A.
oLeary, showed by statistics, facts
and figures, that can be verified at
any time that a railroad penetrating
would be a paying one from
the start, 'as this place drains an i'm
mense area, being the hub Of district
