As the fruit on Salmon river began
to rlpen, an uncomfortable desire
sliced the writer to get taste of
apples, plums and new cider, and it
goes without saying that we got what
we went after

Clay and John Wagner, who were on
their way to the Palouse country for
work
The next day Mrs. NJ. E. Gage,
her daughter, Minnie Reeves, and
son, Lewis Reeves, and Dwight
Hinkley went along as company as
far as Amos Carver's. Mrs. Gage was
drying plums and we helped to eat
them, if not to dry any. The peaches
and grapes were not ripe, so we were
denied the pleasure of that fruit.
Mr.. Carver would have q very fine
orchard if he would prune his trees
more. However, we went and took
possession of his place as he was in
Grangeville with fruit. We stayed
there and ate fruit until we began to
get poor carrying so much around so
we thought we would quit. We re-
turned to the Meadows in the midst
of heavy thunder shower and it has
been raining every day since, which
interiors with haying to quite an ex-

While away, man named Smith

he told us he was on his way tx
Clearwater.

and W. S. Raymond. who have beef

to hear any day that they are read
for us to bring in our wagons an
haul out their dust.
