Home vicinity during the high

little seal or tag was worn by

At Last John
Standish is Caught
The announcement of the
engagement of Miss Helen Col­
ins, Chicago, a well-known
dancer and stage girl, and
John Standish, manager of the
Broadus Publishing company,
was made at the Powder Riv­
er Hotel Saturday night, Jan.
), at an informal ball given by
tome oi the residents, in honor
)f Miss Collins’ arrival in
Broadus, Mont.
The date set for the wed-
ling is the first part of next
month, and Mr. Standish an­
nounced at the ball th at he
will remain with the Broadus
Publishing
company
until
sometime next fall, and has al­
ready notified the Board of
Directors of his intention of
esigning, this summer. After
ica'ing here they will return
e* the east, while Mr. Standish
will resume his advertising and
commercial art work.
Miss Collins made the state-
nent to several oi het friends
hat she has resigned her posi­
tion with the eastern show
company and has no inten-
ions ot returning to the foot­
lights. She plans to ent • the
tdvertising field also, as she
'tas had several years of ex­
perience in newspaper work,
being employed by some of
he leading publishing houses
in Chicago. She is'a niece of
the superintendent 1 of the
Diluting department of Sears,
Roebuck & Co. of that city,
and the daughter of ex-sheriff
Oscar Collins, Sheridan Coun­
ty, Montana.
Standish has been succeed­
ed by James A. Craw as editor
of the Powder River County
Examiner, as the duties as
manager of the publishing
houses which are controlled
by the corporation
requires
too much close attention, so
additional help has bben em­
ployed. _ _ _ _ _ ____
B. M. Miller recently sold
twenty registered Shropshire
ewes to E. A. McCornack of
Eugene, one of Lane county’s
leading fine sheep fanciers,
the purchase price being $500.
Mr. Miller takes more pride in
the fact that his sheep would
fill the specifications required
by a good judge than in the
price received, and says he
will bring his flock of forty-
five to a still higher grade of
excellence.
Mrs. Irma Shotwell spent
the week end in Portland with
her husband and together they
went to see the plays from
Shakespeare, "M acbeth” and
"Merchant of Venice,” at the
Heilig. Robert Manteli, lead­
ing man in these plays, is
seventy years old.
The Standard Bearer girls
met with Ruth Sturtevant last
Monday. It was voted that
the boys' class be taken in as
honorary
members.
Plans
were made to send a Christmas
box to Miss Marie Comer, mis­
sionary to India. Fifteen girls
were present. Refreshments
were served.
