Christmas Doings.
The entertainment at the Baptist
church, Christmas Eve, was a de
cided success in every way. A
large attendance was present and
the exercises were good. It had
beeD arranged by the committee
that there should not be a general
bringing of presentsfordistribntion,
but that there should be a treat for
all the children who might be pres
ent. One noticable feature in the
entertainment was the large num
ber of strange faces seen in the
audience. We are glad to welcome
all these new comers to our midst
and our church. After giving tbe
children their treat and listening to
the recitations and singing, Mrs.
Wold was presented with a nice
rocking-chair, and Bro Wold was
presented with a nice gold watch
and chain, a gift from the church
and congregation. Bro. Wold and
wife responded with a few remarks
showing their pleasure and grati
tude at this mark of good will felt
for them by the people of this
community. *
The Christinas exercises given
by the children of the Methodist
Sunday school at the obera house
Saturday night was a decided suc
cess. A very elaborite program,
“Miss Christmas Day,” was well
rendered by the children. Some
special features were singing by the
fairies, the shepherd’s daughter and
a full chorus of about a hundred
voices. The drill given by the
boys was an excellent one aud met
with great applause. After the
program had been completed, Santa
Claus, who, according to his state
ment, had a breakdown on the road
arrived with a good supply of
caudy for the children, which was
much enjoyed. The ladies, Mrs.
George Leininger and Mrs. French,
are to be commended for the way
they had trained the children,
while Superintendent Tracy worked
almost night and day to make it
a success. #
After coosideriog the matter of
whether or not to accept the tender
by tbe railroad companies, of a part
of tbe amount of their taxes, Coanty
Treasurer Sweetland decided to ac
cept the money and to issue receipts
in part, as many school districts in
tbe county could not have school
unless this mooey was collected.
Tbe Union Pacific company’s 1904
tax amounted to $7,728.43 and of
this amount they have paid 94,993.*
76. The B. & M. Co.’s 1904 tax
amounted to $12,683.95 and on
Tuesday they paid $9,299.12, each
company taking a receipt for partial
payment of taxes. The companies
have asked tbe Federal court to say
whether or not their tax is exorb
itant or not, and Mr. Sweetland has
been summoned to appear before
said court, in Omaha, on tbe first
Monday in January. We think our
county treasurer has acted wisely in
accepting the partisl payment as tbe
money is needed in tbe - county.—
Times-Iudependent.
As will be noticed in another col
umn, Loup fJity business men met
on Tuesday and organized a C m
mercial Club. This is a step in the
right direction, and if each and
every business man takes hold of
the enterprise, and all work to
gether, great good will result. We
shall take pleasure in seeing and
helping to bring out best results.
In the meantime, while the newspa
pers may always be found pushing
for the best interests of the business
men, is it asking too much tnat the
business men always be found doing
likewise for their borne newspapers?

VISIT TO PACIFIC COAST
Interesting Letters Written by
a Nebraska Girl.
SERIES NO. 2.
My last letter chronicled the visit
to Schellburg Falls.
We the next favorable day visit
ed the covered bridge two miles up
the river. You see, we could ri le
one way.
After crossing the bridge, we
alighted and first went down to the
old camp ground, which was cer
tainly a lovely place. There were
rustic seats, rustic tables and a pret
ty little fernery. We climbed down
the river bar>k to where we cf*uld
hear a tiny spring trickling down
into the river, and where our guide
ga'hered some beautiful Maiden
Hair ferns, which we were pleased
to take home and press as souvenirs.
Returning to the bridge, we went
under it and followed the river up
to the rapids, where for some time
we sat on an immense bou'der
watching the beautiful play of the
water, while the others engaged in
the pleasant pastime of trout fish
ing, after which we wended our
way homeward after the sun had
gathered his golden arrows into
his quiver and quietly sank to rest.
On the way home, the guide sug
gested it was not very late and it
was not very far to Fox Valley,
and so away we went, over the riv
er and through the woods; over
smooth valley roads - smooth ex
cept for the inevitable stones, with
out which no driveway in Oregon
would be complete. On we went
for over four miles, thoroughly en
joying the peaceful night scene,
hearing no sounds, save our own
merry voices and the clattering
hoofs of the horses over the stony
road, or the occasional musical
tinkle of a cowbell as we passed a
farm house, with its slumbering oc
cupants. We passed a cemetery,
but even its ghostly marble columi-s
east no sombre shadows over Uk
pathway of the Happy Four.
It was the Nebraska girl’s first
view of Fox valley, beautiful be
y nd comparison. But we shall all
keep that moonlight drive stored
away in the treasure trove of our
memories and labelled “Purest
Pleasure.”
About 3 o’clock on the third day
following, we finally started on a
long anticipated visit to the moun
tains Can you imagine the de
light of throwing care to the winds
and for eleven whole days giving
yourself up entirely to the hospital
ity and kindness of friends and the
beauties ol nature. Then, perhaps,
you may realize what this visit
meant to us all.
Our road lay aiong the valley of
the Santiara river. The drive most
of the time was shaded by the tall
trees on either side of the road, and
often so near the river we could
hear the rushing of its waters over
rocky bed and catch glimpses of its
crystal clearness.
We ascend long, steep hills, from
whose summit we could look out
over miles of beautiful country, all
covered with noble' trees, except
where cleared for the homes which
dotted vadey and mountain side.
Some of the way the road lay down
in dark ravines, then again rising
perpendiculary on the one side
with yawning precipices on the
other.
Every description of Oregon
scenery must of necessity include
stones aod rocks of every size and
shape, and of varying colors; and
ferns, brake and a profusion of
wild flowers.
On reaching co'd spring, we
stopped and ate lunch and drauk of
the clear, sparkling water. We
helped ourselves to salmon and
“hucklberries,” which Mother Na
ture was offering on her bill of fare
to all who would patronize her
woodland dining hall.
Concluding, we resumed our jour
ney, reaching our destination a lit
tle after sundown, and were wel
comed by a dear old couple who had
the knack of making us feel entire
ly at home almost as soon as we
arrived.
The next day we went fishing.
