MANY BIG LOGS RECENTLY
TRUCKED THROUGH TOWN
During the past week or ten days
many huge logs have been trucked
through the streets of Granite Falls
enroute from the forest south of
town to the mills in Everett.
To a layman it would seem impos-
sible to load some of these huge logs
onto the trucks that carry them.,
NON--BELIEVERS
One time l went into a store to see
the merchant about some advertising.
He said, "No, I don't want any adver-
tising in your paperads don't do
any good I don't ,believe in adver-
tising."
I laughed and said, "What does it
matter whether you believe in adver-
tising or n0"
Adam did not believe it mattered
if he ate the appleNoah's neigh-
bets didn't believe in the floodpeo-
ple didn't think Lindbergh would fly

tion many others who don% believe

The cfuestion is, "will advertising

OLD FERRYMAN
NOT A HOARDER
Wild and unfounded stories of find-
ing $10,000 in cash hidden, in the
house of Milton Franklin Garland,
known for many years as the "old
ferryman" of Burlington, were found
to be absolutely .untrue this week.
Following the old gentlemen's death
last week, newspaper articles appar-

A party of seven pupils of "he

Stevens school, left Lake Steven:
Sunday morning to climb zo the mm.
mit of Mt, Pilehuck, the 5,334-foot
mountain peak just east of Granite
Falls.
They made the ascent and started
to return about 3.45 in the afternoon
all except young Granger making t.bc
l decent in safety. On reaching the foot
,of the mountain it was discovered
that he was missing and search was-
at once instituted for him, four of the
party again making the ascent of the
mountain without finding any trace
of him.
The alarm was the given and

Garland, said the old ferryman's es-
tate, far from being $10,000 was-
really considerably less than half of
that amount,
Only a few pieces of change in
silver were found in Garland's house,
Yungquist said. His income was
banked at regular intervals. Both
Youngquist and Mrs. M. Price, a cou-
sin of the old man who cared for him
during the last six weeks of his life,
were surprised and dismayed at stor-
ies of money being found in pi,cture
moulds, table legs and other places.
Another phase of the reports con-
tradicted by Mrs. Price was that he
had tried to enter the county poor
farm or hospital. This was also un-
true, Garland having sent for Mrs.
Price to care for him,
Mrs. Price plans to stay in Bur-
lington for some time to straighten
out matters of Garland's business,
before returning to her home in
Stockton, Calif. Other relatives sur-
viving the 80-year-old man are three
more cousins, Mrs. Dora Hunter of
