We have evidently been living
under a constellation of sinister
stars recently that have threaten
ed several dire disasters to this
community, but only one has
actually happened.
Ali of the streets of our town
plat We're sold at sheriff's sale,
but this unprecedented act did
not prove to be so disastrous as
it at first looked, because it drew
the community together and cen
tralized its interests SO that it
worked in harmony to prevent
the confirmation of the sale and
took it into court. 1t is to be
tried by Judge Dykeman in Feb.
ruary, we understand.
Meantime we are permitted to
use our streets without interior
ence. Explanations have been
the order of the day, and a few
favored ones have been assured
that they need not worry because
they would not be disturbed any
way. But the rest of us do not
intend TO worry either. and will

A busy and strenuous week.

The legislature has assembled;
the governor has delivered his
inaugural; the county's officials,
new and old, have been getting
adjusted; the Washington News
paper Institute is in session in
Seattle. and war bulletins as
consequence occupy little space
in the big dailies.

We have reached another of

We were all there to witness

he might again get hold of your

beg him to let go.

our youth. II. G. l..

settled and for all time.
Then in the midst of our street
miXup. the county commissioners
decided to wreck our dock, and
so advertised. But this commu-
nifty pat quite q lot of time and
money into the building of it,
that did not belong 10 the county,
and we do not want our dock
wrecked. So a restraining order
from the court holds it in place
for the present at least,
And then some one or.two- de.
cided that as we should have no
streets or dock or other rights
that need be respected, we would
not need a post Office, and by
some means not apparent on the
face of things, we were to be
relegated, whether we would or
not, to a rural delivery route,
whereby very few on one street
would be served at their door,
and the rest of us condemned to
box on any old corner, one mail
a day, and other conveniences
enjoyed by people who are serv-
ed by rural delivery, but do not
live on the mail route.
Besides all this, we were to
have no name at all, but would
be addressed as Portage, Route
2 or g." or something! All of
which we respectfully decline to
do.
Portage is a dear little sister
much younger than we are, and
we love her, but we are not ready
to lose our own identity even for
the benefit of the rural route
system. Hence by pulling to-
gether again we headed that off,
and were rewarded by receiving
a New Years greeting from the
Post Office Department in Wash
ington in the form of an assur-
ance that we would not lose our
post Office.

An Inland Voyage

A friend is a friend, no matter
where he may be, who he may
be or what may be the color of
his hair; and there is no friend
like an old friend.
A joy ride is JOY ride, no
matter where it may be, when it
may be, or who may be the par
Elephants, providing the latter be
in a Joy ride mood"
A joy ride eliminating in the
renewal of old friendships should
certainly prove true to name and
doubly successful to all concern.
ed.
Friday morning, Dec. 10Th, a
merry company of friends and
former neighbors of Rev. jim
my" Milligan departed via the
ferry in two automobiles for Ort.
ing, the home of the Milligan
family.
The bracing, frosty air filed
all with tingling pleasure OF be.
ing alive.
To revel in a sunrise sparkling
thru the forest trees above a
hazy lake of mist in the valley
below was a sensation enjoyed
by everyone, as the excursion
party descended the hill ap.
preaching Kent.
To spin along the paved high
way nearly to the foot of Mt.
Rainier itself was an inspiration
The destination was reached
about $50 when the car driven
by Alfred Ward arrived and com
pletely surprised the Milligans.
The occupants of the second car
arrived later.
The company found plenty of
time after visiting and ''reminis-
encing," to tour" the city and
hills beyond, and all were sorry
when leaving time arrived.
All were royalty entertained
and joined in wishing the Mill
gan family the best of success
for a happy and prosperous new
year.
Two 'mishaps to the Gammell
car, driven by Garner Kimmel,
delayed the return of half the
young people until Saturday
morning, but no serious cases of
inconsistencies were reported.
Those making up the party were
Mrs. Fred Weiss. Mrs. M. l..
Tjomsland, Mrs. B. Reed,
Miss Lizzie Fox, Gertrude Fox,
Eleanor Gaily, Dorothy Good
child, Clara Moberg, Myrtle Van
Olinda, Ruth Taylor, Marie Reed,
Ralph Steen, Charles Gibson,
Gilbert Ward, Alfred Ward,
Arthur King, Garner Kimmel
and Donald Mills.

Additional Lights for Portage

The Portage Light Committee
held a very successful entertain.
ment and social Saturday even
ing, Jan. 6, in VanOlinda's hall.
Dancing and whist occupied the
heeting hours until the call to
partake of refreshments, an
abundance of which had been
provided by the ladies', and to
which the crowd of more than
sixty people did ample justice.
During the evening the assembly
was favored with musical selec-
tions by Mrs. G. A. Collins and
Mr. W. H. Hopkins. Mrs r.
W. f. Martin contributed the
music for the dancing.
a snug sum was realized from
the sale of a cake which was do
mated by Mrs. Moorlnana and auc-
tioned off. Altogether enough
money was raised to pay for three
electric street lamps with an all
night service. The Ultimate plan
is to have the boulevard lighted
all the way between Ellisport
and Portage.
j. G. Dubois was able to be
outdoors for awhile Wednesday

house several weeks with rheu-

covered sufficiently to be up and

a Tentative Baptist Creed.

A Baptist worker who has been i'm =
pressed with thevarying standards OF
belief in the Baptist churches OF the
country has proposed the following
basis for declaration Of common be-
lief in the denomination:
The bible has full and sufficient in
spiration for purposes of religious be-
lief and conduct.
Jesus Christ became incarnate thru
a supernatural, diyinely begotten. vir-
gin birth, constituting a mysterial
union Of deity with humanity.
The atonement was a cosmic, eternal.
self-imposed,- vicarious act OF self
RECONCILIATION on the part of God.
The resurrection Of Christ was
moral, spiritual and unique triumph
over both matter and spirit, and cre-
ated the christian church.
Christianity Is the apostolic inter-
probation of Christ's person and work
in our behalf.
The church Is body OF persons re-
newed by the holy spirit thru re-
pentance and faith toward Christ.
The officers Of the church are two.
one called elders, pastors overseers or
bishops. and the second called deacons.
The ordinances Of the church are
two, baptism, the voluntary and pub
lie immersion of the believer in water
and the Lords supper for those who
truly discern the Lords body.
The human conscience is free In; AL
matters of religion as between man
and man. sri, s.,-. III,
The church and, state are formally
separate, but may; be mutually sympa-
;thetic and cooperative. ~
Voluntary organizations for educa-
tional, missionary and fiscal purposes
are legitimate and permissible.
