The Nestucca is very low at present, but if the present downpour continues a day or two, we will probably have some high water. Master Johnny Borba celebrated Christmas and his birthday on the same day. We wish him many happy returns of the occasion. Several people from this vicinity were at the dance at Curl’s Saturday night. Mr. Smith’s house caught on fire Sat urday but fortunately it was discovered and extinguished before much damage was done. Mr. Lucas has purchased the Bert Lynch place and will make his home there. We extend a cordial welcome to his family and wish them prosperity in their jiew home. There was a large crowd at the Christ mas tree at Blaine Monday; the affair passed off nicely and was a “howling success ’ as your correspondent was in formed by one who was there. Mr. and Mrs. [ohn Borba entertained Mr. and Mrs. Auguste Chopard at their home on New Year’s dav. The Christmas tree at Blaine school house was a grand success, and the pro gram was fine. The taffy party at Mr. and Mrs. Dave Coulson’s was a success everyone had a pleasant time. The dance given at Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Cody’s was a success if only four ladies were present.
