generally signed by our people, last
week, asking the city council to apDro-
pirate whatever balance of money that
remains from the sale OF bonds after
paying for the water ditch, to boring a
hole in search for salt or anything else
Of value. The idea is that the city can
| put in a turbine wheel and secure power
with which to operate drill at very
small cost; and then if there is anything
discovered, other prospect holes can be
put down in any part of the city. The
council is favorable to the scheme, and
operations will probably be commenced
soon, provided there is any money left
after making the repairs and paying

water ditch bonds, $3.50, due January
LIST. 1t has been necessary to do con-
siderable Tip-rapping along the ditch
and at the dam and head gate; then the
entire ditch should be securely fenced;
there should be waste-w ways provided
and this necessary extra work will
about take up all the money left, and
perhaps then there will not be enough.
We would like to see a prospect hole
drilled.

.. 81. II Cook and family. Saturday
.f Lr Gillian delivered his lee
P ...e g., .hc PRESBYTERIAN church to q
..-r audience. II was devoted 60 his
+ -.re,-r iu ,ue south. Arkansas and
. --s. iucipi'y. before. during aud
'Hl.. war; Ia 1852 when he was a
I ~ - yD.Is Old, he Started out as u
Methodist preacher and rode from one
end of the state to the other, and, of
course, he had varied experience. His
description of those times was graphic
and his remarks were interspersed with
a vein of humOr that kept his hearers
in pleasant mood. His lecture netted
the Ladies Aid society nice little sum
after paying all expenses. Sunday,
morning and evening, Mr.. Gillian
preached at the NJ. K. church to large
congregations, many of his old admirers
who had not been to church for months
turning out to hear him.
There is considerable talk about a
creamery at this place. Mr.. DeLisle
has man who will furnish one half of
the necessary capital if the people here
will take the balance. 1t is estimated
ted that about So. 500 will be necessary
to put in works suitable for handling
the milk of 600 COWS. This expendi-
ture would include the building, mach
inery, ice house, cooling room and
cheese room. Mr.. Ellis. who was one
of the originators OF the Attica cream
cry, was here Monday encouraging our
people 10 take an interest in cream
cry. He says that the farmers over
there are well satisfied with their first
years experience, and that, almost
without exception, they are adding
more cows to their stock and making
arrangements for an increased milk
supply next year. The Attica cream
cry is to be enlarged and several i'm
proYements made. 1t is TO be hoped
that our people will talk up this enter.
prise 1t is a sure way to get money in
circulation.
