of friends and neighbors engaged in
some good work for the benefit of hui

OF importance will be transacted and
all the members are requested to be
present. The membership OF the
Grange is increasing right along, and
as tilling the soil is the basis Of all
prosperity, l don't see why the busi-

others-should not be interested In 1t.
Judge Gardner OF Newport, has

Marie Stella Holland, daughter Of
Mrs. Sophia Holland, was born on the
Robert Metcalf place at Siletz, January
10, 1906, and died at Roseburg in the
hospital, October IA, 1919, aged 13
years, months and rs days. Marie's
father died several years ago and since
that time the mother has taken care
Of the child. She was always delicate
but very bright child. S.'r attended
school at Otis, Oregon, where her
mothers people live. William Dick
is the grandfather of the child and
Joe Dick is her uncle, both we'll to do
farmers. Marie's father was Upton
Shelhead but was changed to Holland
which was wrong; he should have
kept his fathers name Shelhead was
the Chief of the Too too tanys, one
of the largest tribes of Indians brought
to the reservation. The chiefs name
was Oneatta, which means in Indian,
Shelhead. Because of the prominence
of the family the funeral was largely
attended Rev. Walter Ross, pastor
of the M. E. Church here, conducted
the services. Seldom so much feeling
was expressed at an Indian funeral
as this The child was favorite
among all the Indians. The grave was
literally covered with floral offerings
of friends as tokens of love from those
who mingled their tears with the be-
reaved relatives, as last tribute OF
respect and sympathy to the departed
When we come to the last resting
place humanity is much the same but
hope inspires US to believe that we
will meet again in a world of fadeless
beauty and lnveliness, where death
sorrow and separation never comes.
A surprise party was given MIR. ]
J. Roberts at the Crawford Hotel Sat
urday evening by the High School pl-
pills. Games, plays and dancing were
engaged in till late hour. A nice
luncheon was served after which the
merry party repaired to their respec.
tive homes, feeling the life is made
brighter and the world made better by
these social gatherings.
If we smile the world will smile
with us, but If we go with a long
face and a crouch the world will leave
us. Let us pluck up bramble and
plant flower in it's place and the
world will be all the brighter for it.
