125 YEARS AGO (1895) Whist is getting to be a nightly game at the Great Northern hotel. Mora’s bicycle riders were out in full force Sunday. Such days as Sunday for bicycling this season are numbered. James Mackey drove in from his logging camps Monday. It was a long and tedious ride and Mr. Mack- ey felt like resting when he reached Mora. The feed mill is now in full oper- ation having started up for the fi rst time this week. A large number of the grists were awaiting their turn to be ground out. There is no doubt but the mill will be obliged to run every day now until spring as farmers from ev- News from ery direction are coming daily with a load of grain to be ground. Yesteryear Gov.

With this amount from the state and that already offered by the county and Tozer, McClure lumber company it is hoped that something may be gained toward the solving of the mystery of the cold-blooded murder. A railroad bridge near Ground House burned Mon- day night. All trains and mails were delayed until Tuesday noon.

100 YEARS AGO (1920) Governor Burnquist last Thursday issued a proc- lamation at the request of Carlos Avery state game and fi sh commissioner, whereby it is estimated that 100,000 muskrats will be saved from slaughter this winter. The governor ordered a closed season on trapping muskrats from December 1st, to April 1st. Avery said a closed season for this winter will save muskrats from extermination in the state. The Lecture course will open next Monday evening, Nov. 22, with the “English Light Opera Company.” This is one of the best and most expensive numbers on our course. All reservations made for the “La Sal- le Quartet,” which was to have been the fi rst number, will apply to the English Light Opera Company. The opera company has become the most popular type of entertainment on the lyceum. It combines the best of acting with the best of music and gives an opportunity for the display of the best in art through costumes and scenic effects.

75 YEARS AGO (1945) The local Camp Fire group is now practicing Christ- mas carols which they will sing during the holiday season. Some new members are Helen Swanson, Nancy Newhouse, Darlene Olson, Joanne Anderson and Mildred Motschenbacher. A committee has been named to plan the annual Christmas party which will take place on December 13th. Any girls interest in becoming a member of the Mora Camp Fire group should contact the local guardian, Maude E. Williams. Although the modern American heating stove can trace its direct descent only to the fi rst cast-iron units brought to this country by the early German settlers of Pennsylvania in 1682-83, it goes back to about 400 B.
