Thanksgiving on the lake and local rural notes
Thanksgiving gatherings near the lake included about 100 people aboard the Lady of the Lake for a weekend outing hosted by M. E. Field at Stehekin. Weather is cool with no fresh snow, fruit prices are low prompting ranch changes, mining continues at Butte and Holden, and revival meetings led by Rev. Cluelo and wife ended successfully in Wenatchee. A $5 reward is offered for a missing leather dispatch box on the Moses Coulee-Waterville road containing owner papers only.
