Postmaster McClearey says that
there will hereafter he no delay about

The creamery is still being talked Of
and il will likely be built. IL is safe to
say that a creamery with the capacity
/ proposed will distribute every week IN
the year at least 500 to the farmers
who patronize it. That multiplied by

year in hard cash. Who says this
would not be an advantage to the town
and county.

the establishment of a creamery, or
any other public enterprise. 1t always
happens that in every stock company,
some one may make more out of it than
his partners; but even then his partners
may do we'll In the case of a creamery
some one must take the lead and we
cant see that ii matters much who it
is, so that the creamery IS built and
operated. Even with a strong and
steady pull, all together, it will be diff
cult for our people to carry out the work
of establishing creamery and sor-

scout, with lot of Indian scouts from
Camp Supply arrested about fifty hun

troy their outhts aud If the hunters
have money TO pay their way Ogt. they
will be allowed to return 10 their homes
