BIRTHDAY PARTY

1t can't seem possible, but we
guess we have to admit it, for
Miss Luella Pendleton tells us
that she reached her 18th birth
day last Monday, the 18th, and
in honor of the occasion she
gave a birthday party to about
35 of her friends at the beauti-
full Pendleton home in the north
west >ayt Of town. The early
part Of the evening was spent in
playing games of every descrip-
tion, telling stories and other
forms Of amusement. At 10 o.
clock dainty lunch was served
by the hostess, assisted by her
sisters, Misses Alleena and Ed
ma Mae.
After spending several hours
Of fun, the young folks departed
to their different homes wishing
Miss Luella many more happy
birthdays.
We might add that Miss Luel-
la was the recipient Of a large
number Of beautiful presents as
reminders of her 18th birthday.

EX-EDITOR OGDEN
MOVES TO RANCH

Irwin Ogden, Sr., and wife,
who for years were owners Of
the Spanish-American and re-
corded your SORROWS and plea
slires until August l4th this
year, have moved to- their ranch
out on Route One, about 8 IL
miles southeast of town. They
have built temporary quarters
for the present, have purchased
some cows and chickens, also a
pig or two; bought them a Ford
truck and runabout combined,
and are now bona fide farmers.
We understand they will begin
the building of a fine home in
the spring and build it modern
throughout. However, in the
meantime they will probably
have two homes, as Mrs. Ogden
goes to Mora January LIST as our
new County School Superintend-
ent, and will make her home at
that place the greater portion of
the time while Senior raises
beans, wheat, corn, cows and
chickens on the ranch. And we
will say this, if they are as sue

as they were in the newspaper
work, then we know they will

At the PasamOnte site. The Snor-

the time Of its collapse has out
standing debts to the amount of
$4,000. The leases Of the COM
pany have no value and the Only
thing left is the tools and der

depth of nearly 600 feet and for
9 time looked like a good prone

pointment to the people Of Gren-

the hole was to be abandoned.

leave the wildcat oil promoters
alone and invest your money in
real estate or something with a
more stable future than wildcat
oil stock.

At time when various classes of

preciating with pride the gratitude OF
this country for the contribution OF
their native lands. American citizens OF
Italian birth are fully entitled to be in
cluded. Such tributes are as Justly due
from America to Americans of Italiar

These are the words of Governol
Boyle, and while brief they contain
such broad spirit of courtesy AM

value of $50 ounces Of silver to the ton
The lead content Is not yet determined

the neighborhood of $4,000. with I
