macher, in behalf of the Lodge

tiful boquet of flowers as a small
token of their appreciation of
her work and wise council. In
accepting the gift, Mrs. Hawkins
made a very neat impassive talk
thanking the neighbors for this

ship and hoped their lives might
be as beautiful as the flowers

their deeds of kindness and love
for the Order might be as last
ing as the eternal hills that sur
round us.

The team of the Women of
Woodcraft assisted in installing
the Woodmen officers. This GER
emony was also very impressive
and interesting. After these OK
ercises were over the sumptuous

which all did ample justice.
The teaching and influence of
these fraternal orders have a
good deal to do in making the
people more social, more chari-
table and less selfish, sordid and
grasping after the almighty dol
lar that does not satisfy.
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. A. Abbey re-
turned Tuesday evening from
their wedding tour of a good
many hundred miles. The hap
py couple was married in San
Francisco and went from there
to B. c. where Mr.. Abbey is
largely interested in valuable
quartz mines and other valuable
mining stocks and from there
they visited Portland where Mrs.
Abbey has many friends and
where she lived the greater part
of her life. She was for many
years at the head of the ladies'
department of the Meier & Frank
Store. Mr.. and Mrs. Abbey said
they had a most enjoyable trip
but were glad to get back home
again where the mild climate,
gentle breeZes and the roaring
surf of the ocean as it beats up
on the shore are always interest
ing and attractive and when one
becomes familiar with these
scenes and surroundings they
don't like to give them up.
Mr.. Ed. Abbey has gone on a
trip to Yachats for a few days
of rest and pleasure.
Judge Fogarty who has been
quite i'll Is now almost fully re-
covered.
The weather is fine. The sick
people are all getting well--the
most of them had an attack of
grin which is common during a
cold spell of weather. The birds
are mating and singing and
every ling indicates an early
spring. The travel Is increasing
and we expect times will be bet
ter from now on.
