No School at Lone Grove Amid Bond Debts

Lone Grove will have no school this year as the district owes 8000 dollars in bond interest and about 1500 in warrants. No special school tax was voted, and the district must use all collected taxes to cover debt payments, leaving nothing for teachers or fuel.

Wild Dove Interrupts Dedicatory Mass at St. Aloysius

In Spokane on Columbus Day a wild dove flew into St. Aloysius Catholic Church as Bishop Edward J. O'Dea led a procession of visiting bishops and 80 acolytes. The bird sought shelter in the rafters, prompting explanations from Father P J Arthurs about how it entered. The dedication included a high mass, sermons, and a banquet, in a church 190 by 110 by 124 feet with two 164 foot spires, built for about 180000 dollars without site cost. The structure, completed in less than two years, seats 1100 with 250 more in the gallery and is praised as among the most modern in the intermountain region. The article ends with a local ad for new furs at The Golden Rule.
