is such that improvements are be

manner make a good deal of money

j Charlie is a farmer you know, and
j of course we were entertained in
I the rove by the light of a great
bon-fire. We can't begin to tell
you of the fun we had, for every one
was in a jovial mood and went for
a good time. Many old rural games
were enjoyed and then the party
sat down for lunch. We enjoyed
this very much and after it was
over we lesumed our good behav
ior? One game especially was
quite amusing. The party were
divided into two divisions. Each
one was to try to make the other
side laugh by their nueer actions
and were to make no noises what
ever. The principal smile-maker
of course was dear old Hugh. A
parody on the Welcome address for
commencement, written iy one 01
the class -was read, which proved
quite amusing.
Those present were the members
of the Senior class, excepting Miss
Coffman and Miss Osberg, who of
necessity could not come. Misses
Lea, Daisy Hawkins, White and
Munday. Messrs. Strange, Harvey
and Supt. Dillard.
All were brought home by the
same unique conveyance and every
one had a very enjoyable evening.
One of the best features of the even
ing was the ride to and from the
place in the eilvei moonlight.
The lecture by Prof. Mulkey was
attended by most of the High
School students. All enjoyed it
very much, as it is a strong subject
and was delivered by an apt orator.

Holy RolUrlsm Lftdr Ded.
Frank I-'dmund Creflield, the
head of the Holy Roi'or mania, was
killed in Seattle ou Monday morn-
iug by George Mitchell, the brother
of two women who were wiongea
by him. Creflield, who styled him
self Joshua, committed many crimes
and led a vicious life yet was able
to exert a terrible influence over
number of women some of whom
went insane as a result of his teach
inc. his final oavment of his life
was a natural result, and to be x
iiected. Despite the taking of an
other's life, Mitchell will probably
and take tho work away from the
main saws. Other improvements
are planned and Manager Fischer
hopes before long to have tbe mill
cutting close to 75,000 feet of lum
ber per day instead of the 30,000 it
was supposed to cut when be took
hold of it. He is greatly pleased
at the steady running of the mill,
and the absence of shut downs.
The rup pr day now is about 5O.
000. There has been so:i etbing of a
car shortage for some time past ou
the O. it S. F.. on foi isrn ship
ments, probably oicg to the un
usual demand for ca's ior San
I Francisco relief work. While this
has made a hardship on the lum
bermen it is boped that it will be
j shortly rtlieved.
Thomas' logging camp is a busy
scene these days as a good many
cars of logs are hauled out daily for
the Brown mill. A good force of
men is employed, and is expo ted
that this witl have to be increased
