GIFFORD HIGH SCHOOL OLD FRIENDS MEET, John Stuart, aged 82 years, a highly respected citizen of Kami- ah spent Sunday in Cottonwood guest of his old friend, George McPherson, whom he had not seen in 20 years. Mr, Stuart is a very interesting character to talk to, and is one of the few re- maining old pioneers. Mr. Stuart recalls the day when he was in Chicago when that great city had only one store. He left for his home Monday morning after having spent some time with his daughter, Mrs. Sam Huggins, of the Westlake country. HOME BURNS. The Charles R. Pidgeon home burned to the ground Monday noon, the fire having been caused from a_ defective flue. Nothing except a little bedding was saved, There was no in- surance on the house or its con- tents. Mr. Pidgeon has asked us to thank their many friends and neighbors for the assistance rendered during the past week when it was so badly needed. Some 15 laborers, including Jack Wood, the time keeper, left Cottonwood yesterday for the Grave Creek road project to commence work on the construc- tion of the road. Of this num- ber five came in from Grange- ville yesterday morning. A baby boy arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Arn- zen, Sunday. 30th mother and babe are doing well according to Dr. Orr, the attending physician. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. (By Supt.
