SANDPOINT SHOWS PATRIOTISM

The Liberty theater was crowded last night with an assemblage that represented the patriotism of Sandpoint in children, the middle aged and the old. It was a meeting called purely for giving vent to national spirit in celebration of Washington’s Birthday. The music, consisting of orchestra selections, singing of national hymns, and the beautiful flag and Red Cross drill by little girls, appealed strongly to the audience.

ZERO WEATHER

The coldest morning of the recent cold snap was yesterday when the thermometer showed four below. Wednesday morning it was one below and this morning the thermometer registered zero. It is the winter’s second cold snap but the thermometer did not register as low as the last of January when eight below was reached. The cold snap has been a godsend to the ice men and loggers. The camps are all busy with good logging conditions.
