Peshastin Pickups

returned last week.
Jake Griffith and wife, who have
been visiting Sound points for the past
month returned Monday afternoon.
John Olden, OF Blewett, spent sew
eral days the fore part of the week in
Wenatchee and returned to his home
Wednesday.
John and William Beaumaster en-
tertained a number Of their friends at
the Peshastin Lumber Co.'S hall last
Wednesday evening. Dancing was
INDUCED until midnight when light
refreshments were served.
The J. o. c. Club Of the Methodist
Sunday School were entertained at the
home of Miss Florence Boston, last
Friday evening. Miss Boston served
a midnight supper for the club which
was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
M. w. Starks and son Hal left for
Leavenworth Tuesday to take the
train for the coast, but were evidently
mis-informed regarding the train ser
vice as they learned at Leavenworth.
They returned home to await more
definite train service.
Roy Jorgensen arrived home after
an absence of about two months, dur
ing which time he has been travelling
from Seattle to different points in Mon
tana. He says he was held in the
Rocky Mountains for four days, due to
the unusual SHOWS in that region.
Miss Mccoy, one Of the teachers in
the local schools reached here Monday
evening from her home in Reardon,
Wash, where she has been spending
the holidays. Owing to the irregular
train service she was unable to reach
here in time to resume teaching until
Tuesday.
School was resumed Monday after
the usual Christmas vacation. Owing
to the illness of Prof. Bradley school
has been closed down temporarily.
Mr.. H. Osborne of this place, however
was secured to take the place left va
cant by Mr.. Bradley and Mrs. 0. D.
Reeves has taken charge of the room
held by Mrs. Bradley.
A letter received by o. H. Green
of the Peshastin school board, assures
the recovery Of Prof. Bradley Of this
place, who is at present confined in
hospital in Seattle. Mr.. Bradley has
undergone one operation for gall
stones, and since his recovery has not
been complete, it is possible that an
other operation will be required to re-
lieve him.
Telephone service over the summit
beyond Blewett has been resumed af-
ter the line has been out of commits
sion for some time. Several attempts
were made to make the necessary re-
pairs by linemen from Cashmere but
all attempts were futile. The cold
weather of this week however enabled
the men to reach the trouble only af-
ter much difficulty.
Fire completely destroyed the home
Of E. P. Dunbar, near the plant of the
Peshastin Lumber Co., last Saturday
evening. The origin of the fire while
not definitely known, is supposed to
have originated in a bedroom while
the family were eating supper. The
only articles saved were a trunk, con-
tanning clothes, sewing machine and
small table. The incident is partic-
ularly sad, since it came in mid-winter,
and available premises where they
might find shelter were not at hand.
The family which is large one was
compelled to separate and seek refuge
in the homes of several neighbors.
However, preparations are under way
which will enable the destitute family
to move into new quarters in few
days. Through the efforts of H. Al
exander Clarke much was done to-
ward relieving the condition of the
family. A popular subscription was
raised to the amount Of forty-ive dol
lars in cash and more than half as
much more subscribed, which was
highly appreciated. Aside from the
above, considerable has been donated
in the way Of household articles. The
