r-.The city has In Its museum at the
"City-hall," said the mayor's secretary,

"Yet tho specimens have never been
catalogued or claeslAed and there has
never been a regulrfrlKnald curator to
look after them. Many ftaight be miss

council Will be asked to create the
Office of curator of tho public museum'
at a salary of 175 or 100. in time, the
collections will be housed In a separate

; "For the past two years. Deputy City
Auditor C. F. Wlegand has been de
voting considerable attention to the

reat that Mr. Wlegand ha been com

NOT COLD, BUT THICK
CLEAR ICE COVERS LAKE
(Rpeclal to The Jonriwl.l
Troutdale, Wash., Dec. 18. Farmers
In the valley have been cutting - and
hauling ice for their own use from the
lake a mile from Guler. The ice Is very
clear and of fine quality. This Is the
first year In many that ice has been
hauled by wagon, there being no anow
until last Saturday, when ' about six
inches lay on the ground. No cold
weather has been experienced and the
formation of ice was a surprise to many
because the weather has been so mod
erate. The water In the lake Is very cold
at this time and ice was easy to form.
Indians last summer predicted a great
deal of very cold weather and much
snow and rain, saving that the spring
time would be one of many floods and
that the same condition would prevail
as In the time of Noah and that the
world would be covered with water with
the melting of the deep enow next
spring. People here are not expecting
any more precipitation of either snow
or rain than In former years. Fall
work Is about completed In Troutlake
valley and all stock comfortably housed
and plenty of feed in the barns. The
crops of hay of all kinds was large here
last season and .the community' Is In.
good circumstances in every way.

This morning Campion phoned
The Journal;
"Please look back to your
files of December 4 and get me
the address of a lady who lost
a gold watch and advertised it
In the lost and found columns.
I found the watch and looked
fox the ad In The Journal, but
she only advertised once, and the 4

The Gift ProMem
There," said Elizabeth, as she ad
ministered a fond pat to the last of her
prettily wrapped packaRea, "they are
all ready to send, and I am happy to
say that there isn't a useful article in
the entire lot."
"Why. Elisabeth, exclaimed her
mother, reproachfully, with her "those
ducks will certainly drown" expres
sion, as Iter daughter calls It.
'A fact," replied Elizabeth, "you have
not noticed It. but this year I have
lived up to my principles and have
selected purely uuperflous gifts. I have
always held that If Christmas was for
anything, it was for fun; and what
fun is there In receiving the neces
sities of life? You'll probably have
those in the natural course of things
and if you do not, you cat? always get
along without but the frivolities are
delightful."
"Yes, but, dear daughter, you would
not, for Instance, give toys to little
children who need shoes and stockings."
"Oh, yes I would. They are the very
ones who need the toys. They really
do not need the shoes and stockings
except one of the latter to hang up
on Christmas eve. l'ou haven't for
gotten how I used to tease you to
let me go barefoot when I was little."
"But some of them need the sub
stantial things. You would not give
candy, say, where bread Is needed.''
"Oh, yes, I would rather. Most child
ren hate to eat bread, but they all like
candy. ' I'd give them candy every time."
Of course they were slating extreme
eases, for probably the most of Eliza
beth's gifts are going where bread and
shoes are a matter of course; but I
see her point, don't you? And in a
sense, I half believe she's right
