Talent Hikers
Visit Lithia Park
Rev. M. C. Heed and his Methodist
Junior Hikers' Club of the Methodist
church at Talent visited Ashland
parks and canyon Saturday, going up
as far as the falls. Twenty-five of
the Talent boys made up the party
and all enjoyed a most happy time,
going Into elstacies over the beauties
of the park and the canyon and con
cuming great quantities of the min
eral waters. They were brought up
from Talent In automobiles, Mr.
Reed, Mr. FInley and Mr. Weaver
furnishing means of transportation.
The boys, most of whom are farmers'
sons, were greatly Interested In the
workings of Perozzl's creamery, and
upon Invitation of the creamery men
went over the plant. Buttermilk in
unmeasurable quantities was con
sumed despite the d'sastrous results
which might be expected from mixing
lithia water and buttermilk.
