HAPPY Valley April 3 700


Ed. JoUKNAL:-Happy Valley still
continues TO revolyc with the rest Of the
world, and all settlers comparatively hap
by, though it rains most Of the time
Between showers we manage to make
garden.
Ranchers have turned their stock on
the range to root hog or die" but the
grass is growing nicely aud we surmise
they are all right.
L0ggers are now getting to work in
earnest and we car hear trees falling in
all directions and it is music to the ear
We also }earG that Thos Bordeaux has
purchased Till SheltOn's ranch, the price
paid we did not learn, but we say bully
for him, we suppose he will go into the
stock business, as it is fine place to raise
hay and grain.
We believe Mart Sheton's place is for
sale also. but we did not learn bow much
money he wants for it. 1t joins Bor-
dcauX's ranch on the west and is a very
nice place.
We took a stroll in the woods the other
day and noticed some wild flowers in
bloom, notwithstanding the rain and frost
Ere long the valley will assume a lovely
appearance, and the people here will be
happy as COW chewing her cue. ROWAN
