SCHOOL NOTES

School was closed Wednesday af-
ternoon of last week with a program
in which all the grades took part.
Miss Horrigan's room began the pro-
gram with songs, recitations and a
spicy little dialogue, which showed
practice. These were followed by
songs and recitations by Miss Dobson' s
room, the last number of which, also
a dialogue, was especially good. Then
followed a short program by the high
school the best part of which was a
clever vaudeville stunt" in which the
teachers presented the high school
students as they see them, which set
the student body in an uproar. With
the coats and hats Of the persons rep
resented they brought out special
characteristics, as we'll as certain in
c!dents, in a manner highly amusing.
Miss Murray and Miss Griffith as some
of the freshman girls, and Mr.. Davis
as some of the senior boys, were very
clever while MIR. Nance as Garland
Ethel, and Steve Mills, brought down
the house. The final celebration of
1914 by the high school was a skat-
ing party which took place on the
same evening, on the pond near the
lake. The evening was perfect and
nearly everyone in the high school,
and some of the teachers, as we'll as
a few others, were present, and every
one seemed to agree that moonlight,
a bonfire and ice like glass, make a
splendid combination for enjoyment.

line as far as Coldwater Junction is
completed. This line connects at that
point with the X. V. r. branch and
running to Merritt where the X. v.
connects up with the main line of the
C p. r. 1t is to be hoped that this
section will be operated in the very
near future as this would afford direct
communication between the valley
and the coast.
On the Kettle Valley line the steel
is laid on the 175-mile stretch between
Penticton and Osprey lake and the
grading on the 31-mile section be-
tween Osprey lake and Princeton is
fast nearing completion. There now
remains but the short stretch between
East Prince and Princeton to be grad
ed and the building of two trestles and
the bridge over the Tulameen river to
be built before this section will be
ready for the laying of the steel. All
the steel and other material for this
section is on hand and the steel will
be connected at Princeton by May 1st.

ment is insured
This project includes large area
of fine bench land in the Whitestone
lake district of moderate elevation and
when completed promises to be one
of the richest and most attractive ir-
rigated districts in this upper coun-
try.
Many thousands of dollars have al
ready been expended in securing title
to the land and in actual construction
of the canal that will convey water to
the soil. The news that arrangements
have been made whereby the project
can be speedily completed is particul-
arly pleasing to the people of Loomis,
which town will be greatly benefited
by the development of the lands in
that district.
The soil within the Whitestone pro-
ject is deep and fertile and under the
influence of irrigation and intensive
farming will yield abundantly. The
water supply is ample for the area
that is to be irrigated and on1e The
project is completed, development
should follow rapidly. Loomis, and
in fact the other towns in this section
will profit greatly by reason of the
Of the project and all

SKooKUM

Skookum has not been heard
from in the Toledo papers lately.
The storm raised Skookum
creek as high as our taxes were
last year. The Skookum bridge
washed out, also, half of Ed
Hayes pig pen. The County
Court will be asked to build a
new one the next term of Court,
and will no doubt be glad to do
it.
The road from Skookum to
Toledo needs flying, too. Bob
Brown says the mud is IA feet
deep In places, but Bob stretches
the truth. Bill Storms, the road
master here, offered to bet dol
lars to doughnuts no mudhole
more than half that deep could
be found.

his place and the rich soil of
Skookum valley when the as

the valuation of Skookum land
$5 an acre. II Is all right to
brag to a tenderfoot who wants
to buy, but il is wise to hide In

The Skookum Civic Club had
a debate last Saturday evening
The question was, "Shoull
Bachelors be made to pay q

Smith argued the married men

Mrs. Hay, who spoke next and
who has seven kids (mostl,
