Masquerade Ball.

A Masquerade ball was given
Christmas night and a very large
crowd attended. There we're about
80 couples present, part of whom
were masked. The grand march
started about 9 p. M, and the
dancing in masks continued until
1880. The prize for the best
ladies' costume was awarded to
Mrs. William Torbett, and the
gentleman's prize was awarded to
Ira Brand of Big creek. Both
people represented Indians. There
was considerable trouble in judg-
ing as there were a number of very
good make-ups. Chas. McPhail
and his sister Marion dressed in
Dutch suits, were good, as we'll as
several others. Supper was served
ON the stage at midnight.

EXPOSITION Rates.

We areinformed by Mr.. Horton,
D.. +. Agent, that the Exposition
rates to San Francisco, viii be S45
for the round trip. The date of
sale will be from March Both to
November Both, 1915, and a three
months limit from time of pur-
chase. For the additional amount
of $3.50 your ticket will be routed
via Portland or Seattle with liberal
stop-overs. AS soon as we learn
dehnately of any other rates, we
will be pleased to inform our read
ers, 80 that any contemplating the

the general trend is followed out
by the roads. $45 you will under
stand is for a direct route only.

Christmas Entertainment.

A big Christmas entertainment
was held Thursday evening at the
Presbyterian church, and offered
an exceptionally fine program.
The gifts of fruit and candy were
distributed to all present who
came forward. Starting with the
children, on up to the old folks,
were given a treat. The program
was a fine one and nearly all of
the school children took some part
and each and everyone was we'll
drilled and parts we'll CARED out.
This was perhaps the most elabor-
ate affair of it's kind ever held here.
Santa CLAUSE of course was on
hand to do his part and much
credit is due those who took charge
of the arrangements and raised
the money. There were over three
hundred present.

Those who are interested in the
trend towards bureaucracy in the
administration of our public lands
sbould read the printed hearinge
held before the Senate Public
Lands Committee, which may now
be had as long as the supply lasts.
AT these hearings the heads of the
various governmental departments
connected with public land affairs
have been heard at lenght, and
their statements will illustrate
lust how far they would like to go
in the matter of administering
the public lands. Former Secre-
tsry of the Interior Fisher, whose
position is quite we'll known, was
an interesting witness before this
committee the other day, and his
testimony will be of particular in
terest to those who have followed
the steady, and rapid, advance
toward bureaucracy. A few west
ern men have been here to testify
also, some of whom gave the east
ern and southern members some
real information.
Senator Clark, as a member of
the public lands committee, has
been in constant attendance on
these hearings, and has sought by
queries to bring out the exact in
depreciation of the proposed power
law, from those who in all proba-
bility would be called upon to
administer its provisions if en-
acted. The Senator's questions
and the he received will
be particularly interesting to the
people to the west, as these bring
out very fully the various points
of contention in these matters.
From these questions it is evident
that Senator CLARK will take much
the same attitude, on the floor of
the senate, should the measure
reach that point, that Representa-
tive Mondell did on the floor of
the House; and urge more direct
ness in the law and less authority
in the executive, with a proper re-
gard for the rights of the state in
the management and control of it's
resources.
The senate hearings comprise
several hundred printed pages, but
to those who have followed the
subject they will prove of great
interest.
Representative Mondell, on the
floor of the house the other day,
devoted more than an hour in an
effort to get the house to give
more money for the Wyoming sur
veyor generals Office for the next
fiscal year. In this the Wyoming
member we'll illustrated the abso-
lutely non-partisan manner in
which he represents the people of
this state'in congress. Surveyor
General Decker's office has come
In for a good deal of criticism on
account of the way he has managed
some of it's affairs; it might come
In for a great deal more if Grip
pied by lack of funds sufficient to
properly conduct the public bust
ness. AS a partisan of the oppos-
lie party, Mr.. Mondell might have
Deem expected to allow Decker's
ofhce to go shorthanded without
raising any objection. But Mr..
Mohdell made II hard fight for
more funds, placing his duty to
the state and its institutions above
partisan matters.

disappointed, however, for at three o'clock the crash came and the dread ful words, Collision, passengers on deck" were heard ringing through the halls.
 l had read of collisions at sea, and tried to picture their horrors. l had thought that, of course, l should nev- CT be in one myself-that if 1 should go out upon the great deep" my ship would be free from accident or mis- hap. And now it was difficult for me to realize that l was in the midst of a dreaded collision.
 My mind was in such whirl,, thoughts passing through it in sue cession so rapidly that it would be impossible for me to give an accurate account of them. I think that my first concern was for my beloved ones at home-especially my wife and boy, with the possibility of never seeing them again in this world, and how they would feel when the sad news tlldb lhO udu SOiO uOWu should reach them Then there was the feeling that God is with us on the sea as well as on the land, and that whatever might be the outcome I was in his keeping. But in the midst of it all 1 felt that the ship would survive the accident, and that in days to come I should look back upon the experience as one through which l was glad l had passed. Of course the horrors consequent upon the thought of drowning were upon me, but for short while only, and then l began to wonder why it was that with so wide an expanse of water as is found in the Atlantic ships should ever collide. It was moment and an experience that l shall never for get and now that 1t is over, shall try to make it a blessing.
 But God was good and protected us by his power, and have a feeling of great gladness as our good ship blows her way amid sunshine and favorable

two fog horns of different ships. then a terrific shock, and following almost instantly came the awful sound of splintering wood and the clash of steel against steel. The ships reeled and threw me off my feet as l jumped on the floor.
 l gained the top deck just under the captains bridge in very quick time, not delaying any for clothes or any other excess baggage. The first thing l saw through the very dense fog was this ship, the New York, right across our bow and whirling around swiftly. Then when she had swung around to position almost parallel to ours, our ship, unable to hold back, crashed into the New York's port bow. The shock was very forcible. but it was glancing. Then our ship kept deliberately prodding the New York in an effort to stop any hole which we might have made, for the thickness of the fog rendered clear vision impossible. Then the New York's captain shouted for us to draw away" that his ship was alright" and asked what ship we were. Then our ship scraped away as best we could and at the same time the engines of the New York started forward and in seemingly moment she was nothing but har- rowing memory-fading away-a phantom of the night of fog and mys- tery, even as she had appeared.

An Experience at Sea.

In meditating now of how I felt when the accident occurred the other morning, June 18th, l can truly say that my mind is indescribably bare Of words to portray any kind of a word picture. Though by no means superstitiOus, the date-the thirteenth has fixed itself indelibly upon my mind. It was a tremendous exper- fence, and now, since it is past, one of vital interest. 1t occurred passingly strange to me, as it did to others, that, as the ancient mariner express es it, water, water, eyerywhere"- miles of 1t, oceans of it, and yet not room enough to pass without trying each others endurance. Friday even ing was the first time that l had real ly noticed the fog horn. It had blown in it's melancholy way but once until l decided to retire, and so l did un- der some peculuiar feeling which l am unable to describe. When l felt the clash about a. m., betweent the New York and our Pretoria, there was thrill and throb in my mind of which, precision in thought or words is alike unattainable. But as l looked through the port hole and saw the thoughts that passed through my mind while l was dressing, namely: First-it is a good thing it is morn ing.
 Second-the answer which l gave to a certain question which was asked me about year ago-"In times of difficulty and danger, in whom do you put your trust?'
 Third-a brief piece of poetry:
 Behind the dim unknown
 Standeth God within the shadows,
 Keeping watch OCT his own"
 This is a beautiful piece of poetry which shows how finite man is utter ly destitute of all powers to describe even in a small degree the love and care of God whose eyes behold and eyelids try the children of men" in such times of disaster and especially so under the triumphs of deliverance namely
 Could we with ink the ocean fill, Were every blade of grass a quill
 And every man scribe by trade, To write the love of God would
 draiu the ocean dry;
 Nor would the world contain the
 scroll
 Though stretched from sky to sky"

A Woman's Version,

(This is from very intelligent Ger
 man lady from Portland, O.
 woke up from the signals and jolt of the boat and jumped out of bed, stood up on my couch and looked out of the port hole. l said to my com. panion We have company at sea-" l could see the steamer New York. It was lit up as light as day and could see every figure on it.
 The people seemed to be wild, run hing to and fro. There was lady on deck perfectly nude, carrying a ba- by in her arms. 1 heard the shouting of the commander, but could not un. derstand it. I could feel the grinding together of the steamers, and was so close l could have shaken hands with the people. l ran into the hall of our steamer and I saw people running on deck When l came back the steam CT was gone.

Feared An Accident.

Friday, June F.
 Ran into fog toward evening. The fog horn on our boat sounded every half minute
 Bill wanted to stay up but Tom didn't. Bill said, If I go to sleep and anything happens I won't wake up" Tom said, q wake at the slightest noise"
 Both went to sleep.
 Sat, June 13.-Bill awakened sud denly at 3:30. He heard people walk ing on deck and a lady in the next state room yell Whats the matter?" Someone said, There's a boat stand ing by" Bill wakened Tom who up to this time had been sleeping sound ly, and told him a ship was near by Tom put on few things and ran to the deck expecting to see the Vater- land pass. Bill, not wanting to appear on deck in undignified attire, dressed Gall but a collar) and ran on deck. When on deck we saw passengers with fearful paces, some only half dressed, going in all directions, ad- justing life belts and questioning one another. We learned that our boat had colided with the New York of the American line. Tom saw the lights of the New York, but Bill did not see any part of the ship. Bill went to the berth, got life belt and dragged it around the deck with him but did not put it on. There were three life belts in our room. One of these Tom gave to a lady who said she wanted it for her baby. Tom did not take his life belt from his room. Bill was standing on the deck beneath the bridge and heard the captains order "zu bett" (to bed). Thereupon the crew that had assembled on the bridge filed down the stairs to our deck and assured everyone that there was no danger. Bill thereupon took his life belt he had been dragging around with him to his room. On go- ing on deck again we were informed that coffee was being served in the dining room. This was about 8 :50 Some still had on their life belts, some were fully dressed, all had un- washed faces and uncombed hair. William l.. Herrlich, Thomas B. Patton, Jr., New York.
