Miss
Easton is the daughter of Everett E.
Easton, who recently purchased the
Abbot home at 100th street and Fifty­

were served at 11 o’clock, and music
and games were the order olxserved.
Oscar A. Easton, who ha* been a
resident of Seattle for 30-odd years,
rccenty came here to visit his elder
brother. E. E. Easton. He intends to
make his home with his brother.
Fifty-fifth avenue is beginning to

a country road full of chuckholes.
May the good work go on and branch

The tougher element among the
boys of this vicinity have suddenly
quieted down and are quite manly and
dignified. A very gratifying result.
We wonder if they have just observed
that a United States deputy sheriff
has settled in our midst to stay right
around and be a handy man if needed.
There is not much sickness in this
part at present. A few isolated cases,
but everybody seems to work their
