Hon. Hans Lund Is back at Tomas.
ket on one of his frequent visits. He
probably left his home in Kansas
City to escape the frigid weather 81
the middle west.
1t is pretty early in the month fol
the regular January thaw to strike
this section, but the change followed
the snow storm of Saturday and sea
Ct slush has been the result.
All winters are not as mild in this
country as the present one. The Mol.
son Leader notes that during the frs,
week of January ten years ago it was
80 degrees below zero at that place.
1t is announced that the goth En-
sineer regiment is slated for early
return from France. Among the boys
from this neighborhood in that regi-
ment are Scion Sain, Of LOOMS, and
John E. Horrigan of this place.
Jas. East Sundayed in roIi'le. The
young man is still compelled to de-
pend upon cane while navigating
around, the result of his long siege
of illness. He is in excellent spirits
and is gradually gaining strength.
Another souvenir of the battle
fields of France passed through the
local postoffice Friday last TN the
shape of a German helmet addressed
to Miss Louise Kyner, living Cd the
Ellis-Forde Tracts, south Of town.
Mrs. Ernest Sherling went to Orc
Vile Monday night where she placed
her little baby in the hospital to pull
through threatened attack Of pneu-
monia. 1t is now on the mend and
will be home in the coming week.
Nelson Leader.
Sam ]. Sincock, old timer and all
around good fellow of Tonasket, spent
Sunday night in town on one of his
occasional visits. Time Is treating
Samuel as he deserves to be treated,
which means he is in prime health
and excellent spirits.
So far as closing the schools was
concerned the falling of In attendance
on account of sickness has been SO
great that the number Of regular
scholars had been reduced to the point
where hardly half of the regular pu-
pills were present daily.
Several inches of snow fell in the
valley Saturday, but since that time
the weather has very much moderated
and the white covering is rapidly dis
appearing. This may be the regular
January thaw, but if so it has come
earlier in the month than usual.
After making extensive improve
ments in the second story OF the
steam laundry Mr.. Schassberger NOV
ed his family into the apartments
Saturday, which they find great I'M
provement over the cramped quarters
in which they have been living, in the
rear of the tailor shop, for several
years
Four foot wood is selling at this
place for $500 a cord, and then the
cost of saving must be added to those
figures. Why it is like burning dol
lar bills to try and keep warm with
wood at that price. One thing sure
this almost prohibitive price Of that
class of fuel will stimulate the sale
of coal stoves.
Owing to the fact that there is no
work ON hand for the members of the
Red Cross this paper has been re-
uuested to announce that meetings OF
the branch will be suspended until
such time as the services of the
| branch may be needed on Red Gross
work Due notice will be given OF
resumption of meetings.
All of the influenza patients as re-
ported last week are now wei! on the
way to recovery, some of them being
able to be out and around, but as the
old cases are wiped out new ones
seem to come along to take theil
places. We might as we'll make VI
our mind to having the epidemic with
us for the balance of the winter.
! Or. Elmer reports seven cases y; in
fluenza at Nighthawk, which include:
most of the population. Both Mr.. ant
Mrs. Webb Hurley, living at Night
hawk. were very seriously i'll, bu
were improving at last reports. Alst
a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. c
Jones had a severe attack of the NAL
ady. Up to last reports all of thu
patients were recovering.
1t apepars that the real name o
the young man who died at the Gro
Vile hospital recently from pneunon
ia following severe injury sustain
ed by a falling tree was Richart
Tjeerdsma, although he is registered
at the hospital under the name o
