The town was pretty well decorated
on the 4th with flags and bunting and
the small boy popped the firecrackers
with the enthusiasm which the small
boy alone is capable of. .. ; ( .-..
That young America will get there
was aptly illustrated the morning of the

There was asocial gatheiingof several
families at Mitchell point, on the 4th,
who report having had a pleasant time.

i Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Baldwin; of 'The

change of air may be of benefit to her.
The little one is quite sick and is being
attended by Dr. Hollister of The Dalles.
They are stopping with Mrs. Smith,, ;.
The citizens in the upper settlement
will turn out in a few days and make a
good road to the end of the toll road.

good citizens, purpose doing'their share
towards improving the highways. ... j'
Miss Emma Slingerland," teacher in

! Mr. Bellew, ol Bozeman, Montana,
was here several days during the week
looking at the timbel and will most
likely locate here. 1 He is one ot" the in
corporators of the company purposing
building a mill here, but wj were unable
to learn just what will be done. His
family is at The Dalles.
", A. J. Rand will soon be prepared to
entertain allcomers at his "home in the
clouds" at Lost lake. He will run a
saddle train from Winan's hotel, and
will be able to supply gnns, bear traps,
boats, fishing tackle and everything else
necessary to make Lost lake the best
place for sportsmen on the coast. . .
Mr C. E. S.; Wood, accompanied by
Mr. Lewis, an architect, went up to the
hotel last Sunday, to see what was nec
essary to be done. . The work is pro
gressing satisfactorily, although delayed
by the unexpected difficulty in shipping
material, caused by the epidemic among
the horses. It is thought now that the
hotel will be ready to receive guests by
the 20th, but the management will not
open it until everything is finished and
in complete working order. ; ; 1 ,: 1
Mr. Hamilton, of The Dalles, brought
his wife and another lady here in a bug
gy on the 4th, - They missed the road
once and had to get a farmer to pilot
them three or four miles over the hills
and through the brush until they struck
it again. 1 There are several places on
that road that need a Bign board, as
every party coming here who are not
acquainted with the road, ' inyariably
miss it. Mr. ' Hamilton has rented a
home here and his family will remain
during the summer. ' v - ' ' v- -

A While :F.: .M.-; Jackson; and family
Were at the picnic near his place on Neal
creek: Thursday, his barn caught fire
from some unknown cause and burned
to the ground. ' About eight tons of hay
and some farming implements were de
stroyed and about an acre of etanding
wheat was burned, Mr. W. H. Robert
son returning from the picnic discovered
the fire and by hard work he saved the
dwelling house. If he had not b appened
by the Jackson house and furniture
would hav been consumed. . :i V, . ;.
Marvin Cone, of Tacoma, and Marvin
Rand and George Crowell, of this place,
went np to Lost lake Friday, returning
Tuesday. The weather was stormy,
and one day so cold that they froze out
and quit fishing. Mr. Cone while fish
ing in the outlet of the lake heard the
bushes rattling on the bank above him
and thinking it was one ol his compan
ions, climbed up to where he could see
out and called to him. He was some
what astonished to see a big she bear
rise up on her haunches only a short
distance avay. A brief glance disclosed
a coupie of cubs and in a moment Cone
had "taken water",, and was striking
out vigorously for camp while the
bear and cubs were racing up the hill
tor tall timber in the opposite direction.
Cone hadn't lost any bear but he did
lose his fish pole as well as his desire to
fisll. '. . . J ... ....'

Those who fret and fume at obstacles
or hindrances when plying their daily
vocations, whether it be cutting a soup
bone with a dull saw,- or persuading a
balky horse, can learn a lesson in pa-;
tience guided by inte!l:gence from the
builders of the colossal Eiffel tower at
Paris, Each of the 12,000 pieces of iron
of different forms of whicli it was con
structed reauired a special : drawing.
Thereiiwere thus-no less than 12,000
working drawings sent into the work
shop, to say nothing of the innumerable
sketches and plans prepared before the
final details were decided upon, No
correction pf any kind was ever required.
No accident occurred and not a single
workman was killed during the erection
of the tower, s ' -; .---i '-'Z : '.;
F. D. Nelson's saw-mill ' northeast of
Goldeiidale took fire shortly after mid
night on last Friday and burned to the
ground, including a lot of lumber, and a
wagon loaded with slab woo belonging
to W. S. Lefever. -t It is not known how
the fire originated, but it is thought to
have been a spark, smouldering in the
sawdust from the engine..1, The engine
and boiler is not a total loss, It -was
only a pony mill and the loss will be
about $3000. Qoldendale Sentinel. .

Coincided with Papa. ; ,
' - It is related of a clergyman, who
was the happy father of a charming
and beautiful daughter, that one day
while preparing' his Sunday 'discourse
he was suddenly called away from his
desk on a mission of mercy. So im
perative was the summons that he left
unfinished this sentence:
"I never see a young man of splendid
physique and the promise of a glorious
manhood almost realized but my heart
is filled with, rapture and delight."
; Hisdaughter.happening in the study,
saw the sermon and read the. words.
Sitting down, she wrote underneath: .
"Them's toy ; sentiments, papa,
exactly V1 St. Paul Globe, f . ;
' Don't It Your Trousers Bag-, i .
" If there is one thiDg more than
another which will disgust a man it is
to see his trousers begin : to "bag" at
the knees. Every man hates to see
this, bnt to a fastidious man the sight
is almost unbearable. .Better have a
crumpled . shirt or a shiny coat than
"baggy" trousers. A , pious observer
once remarked that if men would only
spend one-half the time in saying their
prayers that they spent in trying to
take the "kink out of their trouser legs
Heaven would be full of males."
All this time spent in fretting; and
fuming can be avoided. How? Every
night when yon remove your trousers
spread them out flat from front to
rear, making the front fold torn on
the first supender button, and bringing
the front and rear crease in each leg
together in such a way that the' inner
seams in the leg will lie one over the
other. Then, having done this, make
another fold just at the knee, and
throw both legs back so that the bot
tom of the legs almost touch the waist
band just below the buttons. .Then
-lay tho trousers away, and, if possible,
place another upon "them, or better
still, a clean-surfaced board. Change
as often as you can if you have several
pairs, for trousers woru every, day
must get out of shape. This is a sure
cure for "bagging. New .rorlc
