That dairying and the raising of beef cattle will be important factors in the future development and prosperity of this community is now evident. Last week another car of beef cattle was shipped out, making a total of two cars sent out from here during the past month. It is stated that there will be at least two or three cars for shipment next year and this amount will greatly increase from year to year. The Weyerhauser Timber Company who own large tracts of land in this part of the county, have seeded all of their logged off lands thus affording plenty of pasture for cattle. The shipment of cream from this station has also shown a remarkable increase of over 500 per cent, and this will undoubtedly double in the next year. This is due to the fact that the farmers who heretofore owned nothing but scrub cattle, are now fast disposing of this stock and getting a better grade of dairy stock. TYPES OF THE FEMININE May Macomber Wright, who is to give the Entertainment in the M. E. Church, Eatonville, Friday evening, Oct. 13th, is an entertainer of ability, having pleased many Eastern audiences with her program, "Types of the Feminine", which is a clever impersonation of female types.

Pg. 1, col. 5 KILLS TWO DEER-HOLDS ONE BY FOOT WHILE BOY RUNS FOR GUN Mrs. Olaf Malcom living on a ranch near Kapowsin sighted two fine deer near the ranch house Tuesday. She called the attention of Mr. Rollins, the hired man and he quickly procured a revolver and shot both of the deer, killing one of them and wounding the other. It appeared that the wounded one would be able to get away and Mr. Rollins had no more shells in the revolver so he grasped the wounded deer by one of it's hind legs, holding same with a firm grasp while a boy named Nelson ran to the house and got a shot gun with which they finished the animal.
