Joe Floria, and old citizen of Falls City who has been sojourning during the past winter and spring at Sacramento has returned to his old haunts. Joe says that fortunes are being made off the five-acre tracts so extensively advertised in California, but not by the tillers of the said tracts. He says that the victim cheerfully gives up his coin in first payment and in a few years, according to the size of his "wad", lets the land go back to the seller who promptly sells it to the next one. It's a paradise for millionaires and land sharks. The attendance contest of the Anti-Cant's, the young peoples class of the M. E. Sunday School has ended with the result that the class has been enlarged so that it now contains about seventy members. The losing side in the contest entertained the winning side last Wednesday evening by a social given in the church. The special features of the evening were a question contest, the questions covering the Sunday School lessons of the past months, the playing of indoor games, the partaking of the "eats" and the holding of the special election for the purpose of providing the officers for the following term of three months. Those elected were: Floyd Miller, president; Miss Fern Wells, vice-president; Miss Mae Hanson, secretary and Claud Graham, treasurer. Of the fourty members present everybody was ready for a good time and helped each other to enjoy the evening. As a result all went home in good spirits and have decided that they "can't" afford to miss Sunday School and the socials which are held at least once a month. Mr. and Mrs. Will Hinshaw left Monday for the Siletz Basin where they will spend the summer. A. B. Hubbard and Mr. Hinshaw have a contract to build a house in the Basin.
