It is just a detmde since we put our spare shekels into liavinook. and one wise man told us we were foolish to go way otl‘ down there in the woods where none would live. at. least in our day. 'l‘hen the city council met in one hall of (‘harles Kuist‘s hardware store, and the library was in the other halt. 'l‘he building was on stilts then. John/Middleton was mayor and John lt‘inney city clerk. The one justice establishment was that of 'the Judge Davis in the front end of an old building. in that lmnber yard north of lt‘reberg‘s livery. A. \V. St) lt‘leteher had the only lumber vard in town then, with a steam mill in the rear of Judge Davis‘ law otiiee. while Mr. Fletcher‘s little office was a 7x9 shanty where Mr. Collins“ shop stands. l’rof.

Mayor Evans lived in a white house near the rear of Gold berg‘s opera house block. There was one “regular“ physician. :1 young man. l)r. Deitwciler. and Dr. llull cured some people.

The Editor of the News like 'I‘ennyson‘s story of "The Brook" may say, “Men mav come. and men mav go. But l go on forever " for whatever changes come to the business department of the News. he holds his seat on theeditorial tripod. He is happy to say that while Mr. Herbert Evans sells out and retires. it is not because the News is a fail~ ure, for it is a phenomenal success. Mr. Evans retires to go to college. a most worthy thing for any young man. who has the grit. and sand. to do. For a young man in his teens to put the Ntzws where it is. is no small honor. True he has had the. valuable aid of his brother's energy and business ability. to say nothing of the pouderous brain power of ye editor! Of Mr. Forrest. who with Mr. Arthur E. Evans make the new firm of Evans and Forrest. publishers. it may be enough for me to say he is an accomplished. practical printer having learned the business in Newt England.
