Nitawa camp for girls, which is the

evening, when an entertainment was
presented under the direction of Miss

in manner delightful to her entire

The program was unique and very
pleasing and was rendered principally
by girls of the camp party coming from

features was by Miss Julia Simonds of

WORKING OVERTIME

Local Firms Try to Avoid Excessive

Stock-Labor Sundays.

To release rolling stock and avoid pay
ing the present excessive demurrage rates
local concerns have taken advantage of
Sundays to give their help overtime work
and at the same time unload cars of coal
on which they otherwise would have to
pay demurrage.
The Estey Organ company, which had
between 10 and Is cars on the siding
gave work to large number of their men
who are employed in the shops through
the week, and the Retreat put on hands
who are ordinarily occupied with agri
cultural work, to release the 10 cars which
had been placed for them.
