Macksburg
MACKSBURQ, Ore., Dec. 6. Mr.
and Mrs. Nelson Bowers, have return
ed from Montana, bringing with them
their invalid daughter, Mrs. Schaufel
In the hope that a return to her native
climate may do more for her restora
tion to health than medical aklU has,
so far, been able to accomplish.
Mrs. Kate Seward, who has been
staying in Portland, with her daughter,
Mrs. White, has returned to her home.
Mrs. Seward's only son is coming to
spend the winter with her.
Miss Olga Seward Is employed in
Eastern Washington.
The sale of Lome Masterton'a live
stock and farm implements was a most
successful one, the proceed reaching
a higher amount than was expected.
Mr. Maaterton is one o four U. S. vol
unteers. His many friends are unani
mous in wishing him a safe return
from and a prosperous career after the
war.
Mr. Garrett, a brother of the veter
inary surgeon of that name, is with
his family, occupying the place vacat
ed by Mr. Masterton.
A drive along the Canby road shows
a number of new buildings, put up
since the beginning of the year. A
fine new dwelling has gone up on Mr.
Winegar's place. George Koch and
Mrs. Henry Brush have each a fine
new barn. A new granary naa maae
its appearance on the ranch of Henry
Herkamp and Mr. Seward is about to
begin improvements on his home. Fur
ther south a new dwelling is being
built for Mrs. Evans by her two sons,
and Simon Miller's new garage is fin
ished. Earli nf nur Duhlic. schools received
in the past week its annual allotment.
of new books from the State Library
association. Not every one may esti
mate the Talue of this yearly distribu
tion of new and attractive books in a
rural community. To say nothing of
the delight they bring to the genuine
book-lover, they are highly calculated
to inculcate a love for the better liter
ature in those who hitherto have been
strangers to the charm. No corner of
the earth is so well adapted to foster
the love of books as is the one which
has a regular season of protracted
rain. The many days that must be
spent within doors would be unbear
able without pastime of some kind.
Among the diversions that we can af
ford, reading holds first rank and It
Is incumbent upon us to see that the
literature consumed in our homes is
of a kind to leave Its readers, at the
end of the winter's reign, richer in
information, stronger in mental power,
keener in perception and higher in
principle than ever before. In this
the timely vntributiun of the state
library association renders us valu
able aid and must receive most hearty
gratitude from every resident of our
state. The drenching rain of Thanks
giving day was far from extinguishing
the fires of gratitude in our hearts.
Though deterred from attending dis
tant services, the family and social re
unions at home were not omitted, and i
Thanksgiving dinners were partaken
of with as deep a gratification as
we could have had in church.
