of southwestern Oregon. Their des-
tination was Agnes, Ore, where Mr..
Fry has cousin, Tom Fry, who join
ed them in their mountain trip. At
Agnes they were obliged to abandon
their car and travel the rest of the
way on foot or horseback. Mr.. Fry
says it was the most wonderful hunt
ing expedition he was ever on and
the party Of six who spent ten days
in the Rogue river country in the
widest region of Oregon will never
forget the experience. Mr.. Fry, who
is an experienced hunter, had no
trouble in killing the legal limit of
two deer, and he added to his prowess
by bringing down monster noun
tain lion that measured 9 feet 2 in,
from tip to tip. He is having the
hide tanned and made into a rug. Mr..

Portland he met Chas. Grover and
family and Lane Seeley who wish to

visited with Grove Sargent at Seattle
and met B. H. Butts at Minot where
he is running a barber shop. The
outgoing trip was made over the
Union Pacific with three day sight
seeing trip to Salt Lake City and
vicinity .--Osakis Review.
Last Saturday evening the fine
large residence of Theo. Held was en-
tsiirely destroyed by fire. The origin
Is unknown but thought to be caused
by some defective electric wires as
they had no fire in the house since af-
ternoon and therefore could not be
caused by that. =
When first discovered the entire
kitchen was ablaze and before the
alarm could be given and the fire
fighting apparatus gotten on the
grounds the Roadway was so great
that it was impossible to get it under
control. However there were enough
people present to help clear out the
house. and almost everything on the
first floors was saved with the ex-
ception of what was in the kitchen.
Upstairs however, practically every
thing was lost, including a lot of
clothing of the family which was
hung away in the different rooms.
