The meeting of St. Helens Lodge

Order of Odd Fellows and the 25th
anniversary of St. Helens Lodge No.
117. Also a servlcve flag was un
furled in honor of Carl H. Aamand,

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Liberty day was observed in the
high school by a hulf day vacation,
which, to our Joy, took the piece of
the usual afternoon study nnd reci
tation periods.
Work ha begun in earnest on the
St. llelens-Plttshurg road. Contract
or Gessel has a force of men at work
on the grading ,of the second mile on
the Pittsburg hill and according to
Headmaster Ahry, who returned from
Nehnlem the first of the week, is
making good progress.
At the Trenholm end of the road
Contractors Trehorn, Mills nnd Park
er hnvo gotten their equipment to
gether and lieve already done quite
an amount of work. The recent fa
vorable weather bus been of much
benefit to the contrnctorn and if the
rate of progress can he kept up, enrly
in tho summer 11 will be possible to
get over to the Nehnlem.
As hna been previously stated, the
work Mr. Gessel is doing will elim
inate the very steep Pittsburg hill
ind the work being done by the Tre
horn contractor will do away with
(he Wolverdlng hill nt Trenholm. The
Sixteen mile hill will be the only
real bad hill left on the road, nnd the
county court will probably expend
several hundred dollrrs In making
temporary repairs there and at sev
eral other plnces between the Clats
Icanle and the hill.'
Other road work In the county Is
getting along nicely. Contractor Kil-
by has quite n force a; work on the
Fred Watklns, L. A. Austin and G.
