A surprise birthday party was
given by some w Melty-iive
friends and neighbors of Mrs.
Walter Hall and a good bye par
ty for Miss Alma. daughter OF
Rev. Walter Ross. Miss Ross
goes to Ashland to take up he-
work as teacher in Tie Junior
High School in that place. Miss

father and mother at Siletz. The
party was given Friday evening
in the new and beautiful park
recently completed under the di-
rection of Mr.. Chalcraft, Agent.
The park is located on the south
5ida Of the Agency buildings, on
a point jutting out from the high
mountain back of the Agency,
overlooking the beautiful Siletz
valley. A new and beautiful
boulevard has just been COM
pleted under the direction of the
Agent leading to the park and
also to the Agency buildings.
The park is nicely shaded with
Alder, Spruce, Hemlock and Fir
trees and will soon be dotted
over with green grassy lawns.
The park, lighted up with a big
bonfire and japanese, lanterns,
at night presented a very bcauti-
ful appearance. A nice lunch
was s;rved and many old fash
ioned games Were played. such
as blind-mans-buff, mumble-peg,
ring-around the roses squal little
josies, Doodle-bug, lap jacket.
When We think of these plays
there comes the question of

forms and happy faces of our
childhood days. They are gone" :"
The names we loved to hear
have been carveda. for many
years on the tomb.
