WOLF CREEK NOTES.


Feeling there is more truth than
poetry in those familiar words. "All
work and no play makes Jack dull
boy" the young gentlemen of the
neighborhood have decided to spend
their Saturday afternoons in recrea-
tion and will meet all corners on the
diamond. The first game by way of
departure from the old regime was
held last Saturday when the single
men narrowly escaped defeat at the
hands OF the married men. The game
was intensely interesting from start
to finish. The benedicts gave good
account of themselves. Result, 10
to 13 in favor Of the bachelors. A
match has been arranged for Satur-
day afternoon when the local young
men will meet the Glendale high
school team.
A number of the unmarried men
responded to the invitation of Rev.
j. T. Cowley and met at the school
house on Tuesday evening. The con-
vener of the meeting suggested that
those present organize themselves
into club or association, having as
its object the promotion of the social,
intellectual and moral interests of
the men in general, but the young
men and single men in particular The
suggestion met with approval and
immediate action was taken. Result,
the Wolf Creek and District Bachel-
ors' club was organized with the fol-
lowing officers: A. S. Henstock,
president; Rev j. T. Cowley, vice
president; Roy Jordan, secretary;
Joe Lichtenberger, treasurer; NJ. T.
Mccarthy, Charlie Hill and Hunter
Piel, executive committee. 1t is in
tended to hold sessions at stated per
ieds at which attention will be given
to the social, moral and intellectual
welfare of the members. All unmar-
ried men are cordially invited to be
present at the next meeting on Tues

LIMITED DEMAND FOR

PORTLAND, Ore. Nov. l2.-There
Is a rather misleading situation in the
cattle trade so far as the general ap-
pearance of the trade is concerned.
Outwardly it looks as If the entire

the case. There is a limited demand
for extra fancy stuff. Little of this
has come forward OF late and the
wants OF killers have not been sup
piled 4 couple of dozen cars of this
quality would wreck the market.
For poor 10 ordinary quality cat
