          Lew Cates and wife of the Dallas Observer, Attorney Tooze and wife, and Al Martin and wife all of Dallas passed through here last Saturday on their way to the Big Luckiamute on a fishing expedition. They came by train as far as this city and waited for the team that was supposed to get here before they did, that didn't however. While waiting for the belated wagon containing their camp outfit, provisions, fish bait, etc., Lew Cates strayed off and got lost. A search was made and after considerable hallooing he was finally located and they proceeded on their journey.

        COUNCIL MEETING
          The city council met Monday night to hear protests with regard to the proposed street improvements. Several protests were filed. Joe Floria appeared in person and presented his protest signed by a number of property owners along the streets affected. Mr. Floria said that he had come 12 miles and demanded a hearing as he had made the trip several times and the council had put if off every time and that it appeared to him that they did it on purpose.

          There seems to be a wrong impression and misunderstanding of this street improvement work and if properly explained it is quite possible that there would be less objections to it. Many do not really know just where and to what extent the improvement district covers. All parties should get together and have it fully explained so that there could be no misunderstanding as to that streets to be improved.

          H. G. Strayer was appointed auditor and police judge to fill the unexpired term of C. W. Lee, resigned.

          The hearing of protests was continued until Tuesday, July 28.

        BOY SCOUT NOTES
          The Boy Scouts have returned from the hike and plan to begin Monday to shingle their building. All the work on the building has been donated. The Elle Brothers and Mr. Aurland have been especially generous in helping out and we appreciate it very much. The shingling of a building is an important part and we need the help of adults. If you can lay shingles or drive shingle nails, we ask you to help the cause by helping us next week.

          Sincerely, M. A. Marcy, Scout Master.
