One picture is entitled, “ Ready for a Spin” in which is a small wagon and in it are seated the little son and daughter of L. A. Salade, Jr. The children have one dog hitched to the wagon, while beside the wagon is another small white dog, ‘sitting up,’ presumably begging to be included in the group o f travelers, or pos sibly he is only asking for a morsel of food held in the little girl’s hand. The other picture is entitled, "Big ger Than His Master,” and shows the little boy standing near a tall white dog, the dog showing at least a head taller than the boy. These pictures, originally taken at the Salade home are excellent shots, and will be highly prized as keep sakes in the years to come. They appear in the Mid-Week Pic torial of May 27, 1926. and Mrs. Joe Colima, Mr. and Mrs. Over one thousand people witness Donald Ross, Mr. and Mrs. Homer Grants Pass, June 15.— Alma ed the thrilling races held last Sat Bowman, Miss Wilda Richmond, Shadwell, 9, died Tuesday afternoon urday at the fair grounds track by j Sherma..
