As a result of the public spirit ed endeavors of some forty citizens who responded to the cemetery clean up call of the Riverview Cemetery Associat- ion last Monday, the local burial ground is now in splen- did shape. The fallen timber and brush have been removed, the hollows have been filled and rough spots smoothed and a large portion of the grounds has been fenced in. Aside from the completion of the fence, the cemetery could hardly be placed in a better condition than at present, except at con siderable expense and great attention.
 The volunteer workers per formed a splendid service that will rebound to the credit of the town and are we'll entitled to the thanks of the commun- ity. Lunch, consisting of a big chicken "mulligan" topped off by cake and coffee, was serv- ed at noon, and iced lemonade was on tap for the workers throughout the day. The "mul- ,ligan" was prepared by l.. R. Doggett, Alex Fraser and Hen ry Houcke. Harry Boer was the presiding genius at the coffee pot and the cake was donated by ladies of Hyder who wish ed to lend assistance to the very worthy movement.

that any matter is not in order
