rig at this place to go to Tonasket to
meet the basket ball team driving up
in sleigh from Okanogan. The livery

day night, given by the members Of the
local band. The music will be the best

body is interested in seeing perpetu-
ated. If you do not dance buy ticket
anyhow. The place of festivities will
be in the Orpheum theatre.

often being the means Of delaying the
publication Of the paper several hours.
