hid away. A dandy crowd turned out
and got there just as Joe finished up
the cake. While the rest of the men
were busy carrying dishes up stairs
and cleaning up, Joe disappeared and
was not seen again until the piano had
been carried down stairs and was load
ed on the wagon. All agreed, how
ever, that it was Gerards' generalship
that moved the piano. One person
didn't have any cause to get sore and
that was Bill Cochran, for he ate a
cake and half the day before.
F. M. Cole has traded his ten-acre
tract for wheat ranch in the Big
Bend country and will move his fam
lily to Pasco next week. 1t would be
hard indeed to name the family that
would be more missed than will both
Mr.. and Mrs. Cole. Mr.. and Mrs. Nit
chell, the new owners, will come as
soon as the Coles can get moved.
The Grange will hold its st. Pat
rick's party on Friday, March 18th, as
planned. Capt. Hoyt, chairman of the
committee in charge has provided for
plenty of entertainment for both the
young and old. Irish "spuds" will be
on sale fresh from the sod, and the
price will be but five cents. A supper
will be served later in the evening
and there will be all kinds of music,
games and dancing. Spring work is al
most here and the regular Grange en-
tertainments will soon be dropped for
the summer, so everyone is urged to
come out and help make the last few
long to be remembered. The ladies
are asked to bring sandwiches, cake
and doughnuts-pink doughnuts if
possible.
Among the families joining in the
regular Spring exodus are those of
E. w. Barton, Henry Robertson, F. M.
Cole, j. H. Jarboe, H. P. Bowen, Ar
thur Quimby, Mr.. Barratt and N. A.
McPhee. Some of them are Growing
around about it as if they had done
something wonderfully smart, but we
want to assure such as these that
there will be someone here to take
their places as soon as they are gone.
j. H. Jarboe will wish he were back
in the valley again if this keeps up.
They had just begun to get settled in
Portland, things unpacked and the
packing cases burned when Uncle Sam
ordered him to Pueblo, Colo, and they
had to pack up all over again.
When Ed. Frauen first came here
eleven years ago he hauled his water
from the river. As the neighbors
came in and put down wells, Ed. de-
cided he ought to have a well too, so
he dug him one, but neglected to
change the location, for he dug it down
by the river where he had been &C
customed to go for water. For several
years he tried to figure out some way
to move his we'll to more convenient
location but finally gave it up and
started to dig new one near his
house last October. Last week he
abandoned work on this new we'll and
gives as his reason that he can't de-
eide on what size to dig it, and be-
sides bachelor has no use for water
anyhow.
We learn that Ainsworth is to re-
appear on the map, for $100,000.00 is
to be invested in stock yards at that
point. Of course we can't understand
why anyone would want to invest any
money on that side of the river, but
| if they do get started and don't blow
away, it will be big help to the dairy
men and stock men of this community.
Now is the time to poison squirrels.
When you kill one now you not only
get that one but you get host OF
