Bob Mcclure, the well-known rancho
and stockman living below Caldwell.

Stephen Langmaid, of Middleton.
took the cars at Caldwell last Wednes-
day for Iowa, and thereby hangs an
interesting story: About thirty years
ago Mr.. Langmaid left Vermont for
the golden shores of the Pacific, and
thereafter until a few days ago was
unable to learn anything OF his father,
whom he left behind. A few days ago
there appeared in the San Franciso
Bulletin an itsm to the effct that Chas.
Langmaid of Newton, Iowa, had cele-
brated his 9sth birthday and that the
old gentleman bid fair to become a CEN

living in the Basin, who noticed the
item sent him the paper, thus putting
him in possession of evidence that led
to the ascertainment of his father still
being in the land of the living.

about three days in the week the trus-

An exchange says: "The general
makeup of the local newspaper of to-
lay is vastly different from what il
was few years ago. The remarkably
extensive service of the leading dalies.
and their general patronage by the PEG.
Pile has made the change. The local
paper comes nearer the people and
sounds public opinion better than the
arger papers, but does not contain the
outside" news that the former does.
The best local paper one that
AXES best with the peoples the one
hat contains the most and best
ocal news. People do not care TO
nave the home paper "paded" with
foreign news, as they get that from the
arger papers anyway. Then too, the
