BAND BOYS TAKE VACATION.

Beginning with the week, Aug. goth,
the Ferdinand band will take vaca-
ton from regular practice during the
following four weeks, unless wet spell
sets in which will render work in the
harvest fields impossible; then, on such
regular practice evenings there will be
rehearsals as heretofore.
Owing to the fact that many mem
bers of the band are farmers this step
was deemed advisable. However, dur
ing this vacation, the band will give a
Sunday afternoon open air concert near
their hall, beginning at 800 O'Clock
promptly. Everybody is welcome to
imbide all they can stand without
money and without price, but everyone
in the crowd will be most thoroughly
searched for hen fruit.-Ferdinand

WILL RUN FOR CORONER.

George Trenary was in town the first
of the week and informed us that nomi-
nation papers had been filed by his
friends, placing him in nomination on
the democratic ticket, for the office of
coroner and that he had decided to
accept. Mr.. Trenary has lived in this
section for many years and is too well
known to require any introduction from
us. He is engaged in the furniture and
undertaking business at Kooskia which
would not interfere with the discharge
of his duties as coroner. George is a
hustler from away back and if elected,
as we predict he will be on the
ground when needed and will do some
thing after he gets there, two very i'm
portant qualifications for coroner
