ESQ KIDDlES TO !
HAVE WONDERFUL
CHRISTMAS TREAT

Riddles of this community who
attend the Christmas high jinks
planned for their entertainment by
two prominent local men are sure
TO have the time of their lives, to
Judge by the program which hos
been announced. N w
Meeting at the Hotel Barbara
Worth at / O'Clock, Sunday, De-
cember 23, and not at the schools
as some of the children believed, the
kiddies will assemble in the lobby
before going to the dining room
where q real turkey dinner with all
the fancy fixings will await them
Ice cream and mince pie will put
the finishing touch to the delicious
menu. 4r.ss .,..aC1
A big Christmas tree with all the
holiday glitter will be part of the
procession of delights which win
follow enc after the other in quick
succession. Charlie Murphy, we'll
known in Elk activities, is to act
as Santa Claus, and each youngst el
will receive a Christmas stocking
Of his very own filled with nuts,
candy and oranges. Fred Nebel
Thau will sing and Mrs. George w.
Reasonover is to accompany him.
Following the celebration at the
hotel, the happy kids will go to the
! theater for Il special matinee, which
will round out perfect day.
Will r. Conway of the Hotel Bar
bara Worth will play host ut the
dinner party and is furnishing the
Christmas tree. James A. Cook of
the Palace and Valley theaters is
giving the special show, and z. L.
Martin of the National Breadery is
presenting the mince pies.
That the day will be one looked
forward to with keen anticipation
by the $50 kiddies who are to at.
tend, and will also be one OF the red
letter days il their~lives which will
be remembered through many
months to come, is the only reward
! which the local "Santa Clauses
will receive. But giving happiness
to kiddies who might otherwise
have Il drab holiday season is a gift
which really counts.

that several times left the audience
well nigh breathless. Rastus, the
colored waiter, got penty Of laughs
and altogether it was tire Kind Of
a show that makes one forget his

While the mineral wealth In the
district north and west of Hoquiam
has been merely scratched, there is
every reason to believe there Is oil,

great quantities. Oil companies are

Within the Olympics a great unsur-

every variety of scenery possible,
from great snow-capped peaks where
mighty grinding glaciers creep thru
the upland flower decked wales and
terminate in sparkling streams that
wend their way through forests of
gigantic spruce, fir and hemlock and
broad river valleys to the not far dis
tant Pacific, and in their coursing
lend a charm to the greatest recrea-
tional district in the United States.
From mountain peaks to the ocean
on some Of the streams the distance
is only about forty miles, and any
one Of these trips presents every va
riety of natures great work, such as
is not to be excelled in any other

principally upon the mill and logging
industries and for many years to come

to be HoQuiam's chief industry, as the
