A WRONG IMPRESSION.
Several days ago the . Observer
printed a story stating that Hot Lake
was frozen over and the peopje of
that resort were skating on the ice,
but the article stated further that the
lake which had frozen over was the
auxilliary lake nearby the hot lake
whore the boiling spring, empties.
Many newspapors .failed to read
that portion of the article and now
the story has gone broadcast over the
coast to the effect that the weather
has been so cold in the Grande Rondc
that Hot Lake has frozen, leaving the
natural inference if the lake is frozen
the hot spring must cither have dried
up or frozen, too.
For information of all, the Obser
ver wishes to state there has not
been the variation of a degree in the
temperature at Hot Lake in a quar
ter of a century. The boiling water
money, to reconstruct the building.
So the money for the restored! church
is already pledged or fn sight.
One reason for rushing the new
'church is that this is the dull season
in building. Many -members are car
penters, and they have offered their
services free. When spring opens,
they all will have work on the many
new houses and stores and other build
ings planned. But now they can find
idle days wWch they would be glad
to devote to the new church.
In fact, when the subscription pa
per was passed around among the
members, many said they did not have
the money but would be only too glad
to con tribute work. Some offered the
use of teams and wagons as long a3
needed. Others would do carpenter
work, or day labor. So there will
bo small need to pay out any money
for wages if building can be erected
ii; the coming two or three months. A
stock of dry lumber is available, and
at a reduced price, and the cash will
bo made to go as far as possible.
It is possible that Rev. W. H. Gib
son, who was pastor when the former
church was erected, may return. He
is now in the southwest, but he is
eager to come back to Oregon and he
has been informed of the burning of
Mie house of worship he helped build.

HOLLY FOR SANTA.
O. .. . . . . . .u
A frolic ou the order of the ever pop
ular donkey game Is always in order
for a Vulelide gathering of young folks.
Vary the picture a little to suit the oc
casion uud oCfer a prize to add zest to
the struggle. If the shops are not at
hand to otTer inspiration for the new
version of this contest, any one with
some little artistic skill cau draw a
picture of Santa Clans on a sqiinre of
luusllu nud color with tluted chalks.
The youngsters are blindfolded one
by one and are sent to pin a spray -of
holly In Santa's hand. It is, of course,
the one who comes nearest to accom
plishing this feat who wins the prize,
a copy of some popular Juvenile story.
The 'children' who stick their holly
sprays farthest away from the mark
may be condemned to perform some
funny stunts. For instnuce. they may
draw Imaginary reindeer in the air
with the index tlugcr In the presence
of the rest of the company.
Au amusing Curlstmns trick Is to
make a small star upou the wall with
a piece of white chalk. One by one
the players kneel upon the floor at a
distance of about two feet from the
wall and with arms folded behind the
back bend forward and try to kiss the
mark. With a tall player the distance
might haVe to be a llttlo greater, but
with players of an average height two
feet from the wall will make It very
(litlicult to succeed, and the arms must
on no account be unfolded. Prizes may
be awarded successful players.
