' H Got Thkirs. There ia an item
afloat to the effect that in a neighbor

liance, which meeta Monday nights,
There ia only one lodge room In the
town, and Tuesday nights it ia occu
pied by the Knights of Pythias. The
president of one of the sub-alliances
came to town Tuesday, and seeing
light in the lodge room, concluded he
Would go over there. Ho gave the
proper knock at the outer door. The
wicket was raised, and sn ear placed
to hear the pass word. "I plow, I hoe,
I spade," whispered the alliance man.
The ear was replaced witn an eye, anu
in turn It gave place to a mouth, which
whispered In reply, "The h I yon do,"
nd the wicket dropped with a bang.
The indignant farmer shortly after met
a "brother," lo whom he told bis tale
of woe.. "Why, dod burn It," was the
sharp comment of the brother, "tlieni 1
Knights of Pythias and you've give
'em our pass word." "Dogged if I
ain't" was the response, "but (bright

Substantial Roads. Good roads
would make it possible for the farmer
to take advantage promptly of the
highest markets, no matter at what
season of the year, and would lessen
the expense of keeping horses in
working order, and fewer horses would
be required In the country to perform
the farmers' work . They would af
ford ready communication with the
outside world at all times of the year,
and would practically shorten the dis
tance to the local market. They
would bring every farming com 111 un
ity into closer social relations, and an
evening drive would be more of a
pleasure than a vexation, as it now
is. The most important point of good
roads is that they would require less
to keep ihem in repair than do the
dirt roads, and would increase the de
mand (or farm property. ,
Abskssobs Convbntion. The as
sessors of Oregon are lo meet in Port

and that much benefit may result from
the conference. A. number of Impor
tant questions in connection witjbr the

discussion.
Slightly Uhfortunatk As the
little steamer Carrie F. was coming
from Kelso to this place last Wednes
day night with a crod of excursion-
isle to attend the dance, she was so
unfortunate as to run into a fish net
just this side of Kalama. The net got
tangled up in the prOieller and had
lo be cut litiso, but even then there
was so much of the uet wrapped
around the wheel that it greatly re
tarded the progress of tbe little craft.

THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY.
The Knight of Pythias Celebrate
at Rainier, this County.
The thirtieth anniversary of the Knights
of Pythias was celebrated by lodge No. 98,
at Rainier, by giving a grand supper to
their friends on the evening of Monday last.
Each knight, of which their are some thirty-two
in this lodge, was privileged to in
vite several of his friends, and the result
ras that upon entering their beautiful hall
ne found as happy a looking group of
arly one hundred people, in rich but not

wo long tables had been carefully arranged
and loaded to repletion with viand which
would cauie the mouth of an epicure to
water in anticipation of what was before
him. AD having been seated, Chancellor
Commander M. lioth arose sud announced
that a brief program bad been prepsred,
and the exercises were opened with music
followed by a brief invocation by Prelate
Bruits. Knight W. A. Wo.hI then arose.
and in dignified and measured terms ex
tended a welcome to the guests, and gave
a brief and cuncl-e review of I he origin and
progress of the order. Brother C. L. Col

the guests In appropriate terms, after whirh
BiotherW. J Hire stepped forward and

proud of the aims and objects of their order,
and the casual visitor, who had not given
the subject much thought, felt like King
Agrippa when he said to Paul, "Almost
tlipu persuaded me to be a rhristiun."
Closing with a few needless spolngies, he
was compensated by s hearty round of ap
plause, after whi-h more music followed,
including a humorous solo by Mr! Colbnrn
