MISS OLGA TAYLOR MARRIED
On Sunday, October 24th, at San Jose, a few friends witnessed the marriage
of Miss Olga Taylor, of Eagleville and Egbert T. Post, of San Jose, at a
pretty ceremony, the wedding took place in the front room of their future
home, which was beautifully decorated with ferns. The bride’s exquisite gown
of pale orange trimmed with silver, was particularly becoming and very
striking against the back ground of green. She carried a bridal bouquet of
rose buds.
After the ceremony, the guests were entertained with musical duets, both
vocal and instrumental, by the bride and groom. The music was interrupted by
the announcement of luncheon – beautifully served in the sun parlor,
decorated with ferns and flowers. Mr. Post is very well known and liked and
has a high standing, particularly among the musical circles of San Jose, so
the bride will soon have many congenial friends. Mrs. Post will by missed by
her many friends in Surprise Valley; but they all join in wishing her
happiness.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Francis Page is now going to High School, thus adding another member to the
Junior Class and bringing the present enrollment up to fifty-three for this
High School.
At a Student Body meeting held this week, it was voted to send Harold
Hutchinson and Ferne Sweet to Alturas to represent the High School in
deciding about their track meet to be held in the spring.
SALT MADE IN SURPRISE
One of the little known enterprises of Surprise Valley is the Salt Works
about eight miles east of Cedarville, owned and conducted by J. H.
Hutchinson. This plant had been worked in a small way for several years and
this year, he put up sixty tons of first class stock salt. Here is the
foundation for a business that can be greatly enlarged and the output would
supply the demand of the stockmen of the County. For years, salt has been
shipped into the valley, but the necessity for that has now passed. Mr.
Hutchinson is now prepared to furnish in any quantity at prices that will
compete with the outside product and he is certainly deserving of a generous
support.
BRIEF MENTION
With thirty-four people doctoring for the rabies: one woman killed by car
upsetting, one man and woman jailed and one man lying in the hospital
seriously hurt and Constable stabbed, all the result of a bandit and
bootlegging rumpus at Susanville last week it would look as though something
else was being done out there besides making lumber.
Felix Allen for many years a resident of this valley, but now a prosperous
merchant of Alturas, was over from the county seat last week and made us a
pleasant social visit. Felix always has a fund of information and anecdotes
on tap, which makes him an interesting and pleasant conversationalist and he
is one among the very few who is familiar with the early history of Modoc.
James G. Dyke went up to Lakeview Monday after his household furniture and
will remain in Surprise during the winter.
Mrs. Borg, a sister of the late Mrs. Pearl Connell, who was so brutally
murdered last July, was here last Wednesday to gather up here sister’s
belongings and returned to Alturas the same day.
Thirty-four people in Susanville were bitten by dogs afflicted with rabies
last week and are now taking the Pasteur treatment for the disease. Beware
of all dogs.
Chet Bordwell, of this place and Mrs. Rosie Shafer, of Virginia City, were
married at Alturas last Thursday by Judge William Thompson. The record
extends best wishes to the newlyweds.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1926
Henry Pengelly, for many years a resident of Alturas, died suddenly last
Thursday night. He was a man of genial disposition and had many friends who
were shocked to hear of his sudden death. His funeral was held at Alturas
last Sunday, under the auspices of the Odd Fellows, Eagles and Knights of
Pythias Lodges, of which he was a prominent member.(1:1)
SERVED ‘EM RIGHT
Nine boys of Chico were sentenced to "undo" the damage they did on
Halloween. Overturned shacks and outbuildings are being replaced, tires
repaired and pumped up and other mischief repaired. – Plaindealer.
It would be a good thing if that method of punishment would be adopted in
every community. Halloween pranks were never intended to include the
destruction of property or to damage it. But of late years all propriety has
been discarded and those of questionable caliber have felt free to violate
all moral or organic law: or common decency and have not hesitated to
mutilate, damage and destroy property. Such vandalism should be stopped.
Maggie Jones was operated on Monday morning for appendicitis and will
therefore be absent from school for sometime.
The latest definition of "pedestrian" is a man whose wife is using the car.
Miss Dorothy Rinehart and Miss Maggie Cook were at Reno last week, returning
Saturday.
Dr. Kennedy, assisted by Mrs. Thomas D. Jones, performed a surgical
operation for appendicitis on Miss Maggie Jones, last Monday and at this
writing, the patient is reported doing well.
