dyke is doing Bellevue and Broadford, with
his deputy, which viii clean up his work,
ready for the board of equalization.
Sheriff Campbell is at his ease, but will
have an eagle eye for birds when the new
steel cage arrives-in August.
Recorder George is "busted commun-

books and shelving, too.

and by which all could get enough water.
