OREGON More for Your Money! HALLOWE’EN PARTY HELD BY S. S. CLASS The Progressor’s class of the M. E. Sunday school gave a Hallowe’en party at the home of Mr. and Mrs Lloyd Edwards, All the festive spooks from the ' 16th century to the present were rep- resented in costume, They seemed to fleck in from all directions and about & o’clock the photographer grouped the spooks in among the autumn leaves, corn shocks, and other decorations of the home for this oc­ casion, and we don’t know yet what the result of that flash will be. The fun began when a unique fig­ ure played a sprightly- march on the piano. and the crowd by intuition seeming!j chose partners ana march­ ed in fantastic fashion out doors and through the house again. There were many surprises when the masks were removed, stout people were slim, and cripples were able to walk without crutches, the overgrown school boy trying to make his Sunday suit last another year, was a success; he gave every one a chew of gum while he was playing round with his come­ back-ball, and he and little Lloyd with his white shirt waist, knee trousers and bare-foot sandals, did small boy stunts, while Mrs. Daggett sang in her most frolicsome manner “Barney for the “long and the short of ot,” Googoo,” and brought the house down was none other than dignified Elwood Faxon and Lloyd Edwards. Our fine hosts had provided more amusements than time permitted, so the guests appeared in the dinning room, where ghostly Jack-O-Lantern eyes peered at you from all corners, while you were partaking of the de­ licious pumpkin pie, doughnuts and sweet cider. “When the frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder’s in the shock,” they like to meet at Mr. and Mrs. Edwards. While this class is planning to have a party at some of the different homes once a month, they are capable of good hard Bible study, and lively discussions on the most important subjects of life often take place. They extend a hearty welcome to everyone to meet with them next Sunday at 10 o’clock at the little old M. E. church if they are not attend­ ing elsewhere. A. G Beals is the teacher, although he was not present, having been called to Portland un* expectedly on business. Those present were. Mr. and Mrs. . Alfred Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Larsen, Mr. and Mrs. Hechtner, Mr. and Mrs. Ray, Mr. and Mrs. George Hoskins, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Boquist, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Coleman, Mr. and Mrs. James Clark, Mr. and Mrs. Faxon.

Then comes the Little Nestucca bay, and down west, one glimpses through the opening made by the bay. and ocean, with white breakers dose inshore, ruing and falling, like pictures one as seen of Nereids sporting in the water about the ear of the fabled Neptune. Passing on. the little town of Orctown is seen. Over the hill is the ocean, it has a cheese factory, school house and store and a church, and for many years in the past was the team and wagon Mecca of the valley (ample, who came to enjoy the ocean near by It is sheltered from the winds, and until th« coming of the Roosevelt highway in front of its doors, was a good place to meditate without the interferences of business interuption. But a few years hence it will be transformed into a smart little town, and the inhabitants will be able to see an endless procession of »ut«> tourists whining by—going and coming. Numerous cuts and fills are passed on the new road. Beyond Fletcher’s lake, the old Pacific bursts into view Just south of the lake, which parallels the road for sonic little distance, we come to a great cut 75 feet long and about 35 feet wide. Here, the county has built a rock wall about 3 feet high around the turn upon the edgi of a hill that breaks off toward the ocean almost vertically. Below to the beach it is all of 300 feet. This excavation took tons of powder and many weeks of work. Over four months were spent in the completion of the 12 miles of road, and there wa we are told, no loafing on the job. It was a big job, as any one may see for himself, when he takes the labor of making such a road into consider-1 ation. There are three- or four road walls along steep bluffs to the west Here, right on this big rock cut, is You Should Com­ plete Tomorrow’s Job Today OPPOSITE SUNSET GARAGI Beautiful Leather Bags Especially Suitable for Gifts It always ts good »¡icy never to put oft jntil tomorrow what you can do today.
