Area Under Way At Grounds This
Week; Everybody Needed

To replace the buildings that were
accidentally destroyed by fire last

one day of their time this weekend.
A giant building bee will be held
at the Fair Grounds Friday and Sat

Tuesday of next, during which a
whirlwind effort will be made to re-
contruct the buildings. The mater
ials are on the ground now awaiting

the district into convenient squads to
handle the work, all those with last
names beginning with the letters A
to D are asked to come on Friday,
from E to X on Saturday. from L to
r on Monday, and from S to 2 on
Tuesday.
Those who are unable to come on
the day assigned may report on any
other day that is more convenient.
All who are unable to work on any
of the days may appear at any time
during the following week. as the
tasks cannot all be completed in the
four days, and the building superin-
tendent will need an abundance of as
sistance during the week. Carpent-
ers are especially urged to come on
the days assigned to them as they will
be placed in charge of squads as fore
men.
All volunteers are asked to bring
lunch with them, and hammer

viding all the materials that will be
used in reconstruction. making pos
sible the rebuilding of all structures

most generous reception. More than
$1,000 worth Of stock was subscrib-
ed.

MAKES FINE SUCCESS
WITH LINDEN HONEY
Jacob NOOrdeloOs, Jr., Finds That
Bee Keeping Is Profitable Indust'
ry Here

Out on q farm two and half miles
north of the depot. one Lynden boy
is demonstrating conclusively< that
the Lynden district is an ideal place
for the keeping Of bees on a profit
able scale. He is Jacob Noordeloos,
jr.. and already he has built up
reputation for the excellence Of the
quality of honey his colonies produce.
Last year, with ten hives. young
Noordeloos cleared more than $3.50,
ten dollars per hive. He did this by
putting in his spare time merely to
the care Of his bees. His first hives
were given him, and he has become
so enthusiastic about the possibilities
of keeping bees in this district that
he contemplates going into the bus
mess on q larger scale. This year.
he has twenty hives in his stock.
Bees can be handled in Lynden
with q minimum Of expense, Noorde-
loos finds. The first cost Of the hive
is the only cost, he says, as there is
practically no upkeep. New colonies
that are weak are the only ones that
he has to feed over the winter. The
bees maintain themselves at all seas
ons of the year, and the quality of
the food that the Lynden district Of
fers insures honey Of the sweetest.

OFF FOR SEATTLE? LOOK OUT
FOR WOLVES AND BANDITS

Lynden travellers who pie to mot
or to Seattle will do well to look
out for timber wolves. cougars. band
dts and criminals. At least that is
the warning that should be given af-
ter reading a description of the dis
trict given last week by the Denver
Rocky Mountain News and the Kan
sas City Star. Both papers published
q story telling Of the amazing exploits
of Miss Theresa Tromp Of Lynden. IL
lustrated with a picture of the daring
young lady in her outing costume of
flannel shirt, trousers and boots.
Miss Tromp was a teacher in the
Denver Opportunity School for the
federal vocational board, and is now
an instructor Of mathematics in one
of the Utah high schools.
The following are some of the things
that the Lynden girl told the report
ars in the East, as taken from the
..rticle that was published:
Miss Tromp received her first
training in long distance hiking when
at IL years old she left her home in
Ferndale, Wash, to attend the I'm
iversity of Washington at Seattle.
This university was one hundred and
thirty miles from her home and she
visited her parents at least once a
month, walking the entire distance
between the two places through a
heavily wooded region. the haunt OF
timber wolves and cougars and the
refuge and rendezvous of bandits and
criminals.
Was I afraid?' she laughed in
answer to a question concerning the
dcngers Of this territory. We'll.
guess not. always carried my re-
volver with me and l was one Of the
best shots in that section Of Wash
ington. The trees and underground
were SO thick that In order to make
my journey as short as possible. l had
often to blaze my own trail. But was
SO quick on the draw and such a sure
shot that nothing could possibly have
harmed me.
81 travelled in the daytime, usual
ly making the 130 miles In four days
and at night l would creep into hol
low tree, with which the Washington
forests are spotted, make my bed Of
leaves and sleep until morning. Al
these times, / carried no food with
me and yet usually arrived home
with some delicacies of the woods
which had found in greater quaint
tiles than l could use, and of which
we usually made a good meal a
home. When everything else was un
obta:nable. l speared salmon in tn
creeks and rivers and cooked it TO
my meals.

HERMAN ELENBAAS
TOLEAVE CREAMERY
Manager For Ten Years Resigns And
Buys Interest In Lynden Motor
Company Garage

An important business deal was
completed in Lynden this week with
the purchase by Herman Elenbaas
of the interests of John Van Wyhe in
the Lynden Motor Company, Incorp
Grated. Mr.. Elenbaas has submitted
his resignation as manager OF the
Lynden Creamery to the board OF
directors, but he will continue at his
post until a successor is appointed
MIR. Van Wyhe, who left high school
to enter the aviation service, will
complete his course there.
Mr.. Elenbaas has been employed
as manager of the Lynden Creamery
for the last ten years, and has seen
the institution grow from babyhood
to its present stalwart condition. The
creamery company had just moved
from Front Street to it's present site
when he was first employed. At that
time. the building covered a space
but 40 A, but few years later,
an addition was built increasing the
size of the plant to 106 A.
During his term with the company
Mr.. Elenbaas piloted the concern in
safety in spite of the stiffest compet-
ition. both from the condenseries at
Everson and Ferndale. and from 9TH
er creameries in Lynden-the Nc
Caddon Creamery Company in 1910,
the Royal Dairy Company's cream
cry and cheese factory in 1912 and
1913, and the Sorenson Creamery in
1915 and 1916.
The volume Of business Of the Lyn-
den Creamery for 1919 will run well
over $40O,0OO.O0. the largest in the
amount Of money handled in the
history of the institution. And the
butter that has been turned out has
won favor in many sections outside
of the state. In 1915. a large ship
ment of Lynden butter was made to
San Francisco, to be forwarded from
there to Australia. During 1916 and
1917, large shipments were made to
Alaska. Vancouver, B. c.. has been
q large consumer Of Lynden butter
from time to time, and a very prof
liable business has been carried on
in shipping sweet cream to that city.
Seattle, Everett and Bellingham.
An interesting detail of the bus
mess of the Creamery under Mr.. Ell
enbaas' management has been the
source of revenue opened up during
the last four years through the de-
mand of Lynden poultrymen for bu
termilk. Formerly run off as waste
all the buttermilk that the Creamery
can produce is now sold at from &c
to sc a gallon. The returns from the
buttermilk now add an extra "
cents a pound to the butterfat ship
ped by the Creamery patrons. The
sales this year alone will run well
over 5000 worth Of the buttermilk. (.
