Tbe farmers are anxious for fair weather so tbat tbey can do their spring plowing.

We are glad to recommend him as a good neighbor and successlul teacher and think tbe district could not do better than to hire him for the spring term. Chris Hornsbub is making preparations to build a barn. We are afraid our county court is trying to save money in tbe wrong direction. If they would cut down the wages of the officers in place of taking from the school lund, it would be a little more just.

A procession was formed in the lodge room, which marched to the grounds owned by the order when a pine tree was planted with all due Masonic cere mony, l'ast Master, John II. Uwellen, of Springwater, was the orator of the occasion and in a masterly manner told those assem bled what had led to the proceedings of to day, he said In part: That In the years gone by as far back as 72 a number of sturdy pioneers, of Oregon, had assembled together and planted thia home of our beloved order here in depths of the foresta of our laud. The next thing was to select a name for it. A solitary pine tree which grew here suggested the name which was adopted and by which our lodge is known to-day. Many ol the pioneers, who organ ized this lodge are numbered with our honored dead. The giant pine hasalso been prostrated by the storms, but we are proud to say the work of their hands now entrusted to our care still grows and nourishes, and to day is i:i a nourishing condition and ao in commemoration of those whose names and memories are dear to us and also to perpetuate the name or this lodge, we to day plant this pine tree. Procession returned to lodge room where all did justice to bountiful dinner which the stewards of Lone Pine know how to supply. Uarfleld Notes. .
