When You and I Were Young —
Sleighing Party Returns
with Dawn of Another Day
63 Years Ago
A sleighing party went down
te Inman recently and spent
a very pleasant time with Mr.
and Mrs. Schamp and Miss
Hutch;son. Mrs. Schamp's sis
ter. The following ladies and
gentlemen made Up the party:
Mrs. S A. Adams. Misses Theo
Hall, Ollie Mason, Nellie Heck.
Mary Hecker. Jack Harring
ton, George Riggs, Tom Mor
ris, Will Bridges und Lou Chap
man. They were very hos
pitably entertained for a few
hours, and returned home as
the dawn of another day was I
approaching.
Away down deep under the
"beautiful” that covers our
streets are good substantial
sidewalks. The many strangers
and visitors that are in
the city this week would
never suspect this, hut we who
have been living here for sev
eral years can testify to the
truth of this statement. In any
other city the government
requires property owners to
keep the walks clear of snow,
but here, something is wrong.
If the marshal is not clothed
-with the authority to compel
owners to keep the walk front
ing their possessions in a pass
able condition, it is certainly
the duty of the trustees to
confer that power on him at
once and then to enforce its
provisions.
A sweet little girl baby
brightened the home of Mr.
and Mrs. M F. Harrington re
cently. Mother and baby do
ing nicely, and M. F. is the
proudest man in town.
The barbers of Crawford,
this state, have raised the price
for their labor, and refuse to
manipulate the razor and
sheers for less than 25 cents
for a shave and 50 cents for
their haircutting. Those who
indulge in this necessary lux
ury in this town should be
thankful that they have enough

Died, on December 7, of
malaria fever, Louella A. Bis

years. She was the only child
of Mr. and Mrs. Bisbee, and
her sudden demise is a most
severe blow to them.
Fat hogs are now bringing

50 Years Ago
While members of Holt camp
No. 1710 were busily engaged
in initiating a couple of can
didates into the mysteries of
woodcraft, an unusual noise
was heard out in the waiting
room. The active "billy goat”
was hustled out of sight and
a committee started to make
an investigation as to the cause
of alarm, but upon opening
the door the members of the
Royal Neighbors flocked in
loaded with baskets and kin
dred nicknacks, all of which
were overflowing with good
things to eat. Venerable Coun
sel Brenan, who is the presid
ing officer, welcomed the lad
ies in a few well chosen words,
after which the sisters passed
around the tempting viands
to the hungery wood choppers.
After supper several of the
members of both orders made
pleasing and appropriate talks
until about 11:30 when the
ladies left for home.
F. C. Gatz has purchased
the old Schlitz beer vault and
will use it for an ice house.
It will hold about 500 tons
and the old ice house holds
about 300, so this winter Fred
will be able to put up ice
enough to supply the town.
If the old signs do not de
ceive us, we are going to have
a long cold winter. The house
of the muskrat is built in a
manner that indicates it. The
corn shuck is leafy and thick;
the grouse are feathered to
the nails and the geese have
flown. Besides these time
honored signs we had early
this winter about two feet of
snow, which is admitted by
all to be the best evidence.

! After a careful study of the
| conditions of the present and
with an eye to the future, Ed
Ward has made a pair of snow
shoes longer than any since
Grover Cleveland ever wrote
for publication. They are of
the genuine old Canadian
style, and while they do not
open up an avenue for the dis
play of Delsarte movements
they are a convenience and
sweet boon. A chinook wind
last week and the warm wea
ther which followed just about
paralyzed the sleighing. It is
the first chinook wind that has
visited this section in 10 years.
A. J Meals is making arran

along the Yukon.

WISHES
A MERRY
YULETIDE
TO ALL
Of Course you believe in Santy!...
But even if you don't right r\ow, the chances are ten
to one that at one time in your career — the short
pants or long curls stage — there was no doubt in
your mind that there was a Santa Claus. You not
only believed in him but you were in awe of him!
Santa Claus was a short roly-poly gentleman
habitually clad in red with flowing white beard. He
drove through the world Christmas Eve in a heavily
laden sleigh drawn by eight dashing reindeer.
It's a beautiful old myth — as much a part of the
joyous Christmas season as is our annual wish for a
Merry Yuletide for you and yours!
