The Scribe Brings Home a Beautiful
Coat of Sun-Burn.


Coat of Sun-Burn.
Henry tombstone has opened the
Belt saloon at his place four miles north
of Monarch.
Stock is looking exceedingly well, and
is fast recuperating from a hard winter
by the rich pasturage of a springs
growth. The fields could not look bet
ter and the harvest of hay will be un-
precedented.
The best sign of prosperity in the
Kibbey country is in the large amount
of fencing which has been and is being
done in that fertile district. Roads
have been Strengthened and improved
until familiarity with that section one
year ago means almost a total strange
ness now. There are miles and miles of
almost as straight road as Il be found
in old established farming regions, and
the cayoose rider is puzzled to get around
where he onc galloped Mt pleasure
across the plains.
A. j. Briggs is farming to a greater or
less extent, having thirty or forty acres
of fine oats in sight. The art of Gin
cinnatus is pIacticed by this gentleman
for pleasure as well as for profit. He
keeps a little band of cayooses for the
sake of his friends and when Neihart
people call, his hospitality knows no
restraint. They have their pick of hors-
es and saddles and can ride the range to
their hearts content. There is every
cause why Mr.. Briggs should be happy
in his country place.
Mrs. 7. A. Wall is the head engineer
of an improved incubator which matches
chicks most perfectly. We inspected
the machine and saw it full of eggs
while the brooder, in connection, was in
habited by eighty happy, but motherlcss
chickens. Mrs. Wa. is highly pleased
with the new venture, finding that chick
ems thus raised are stronger and of quick
er growth than those brought up by the
natural course. Her novel method is i'm
unqualified success. At the same farm
we saw the fine Hambletonian stallion,
"King Rock" whose conquests at fairs
is a continued history of first prize sue
~cesses. His time is $50 and Mrs. Wall
promises to wager 800 she can drive
him a faster mile than any other lady
can drive any other horse in Cascade
or Meagher counties.
Judge Lee is still the one person coun.
selled in matters civil or criminal, as he
continues to deal out justice with {.
fearless hand.
Our reporter passed in easy shouting
distance of where his friend X. Went
worth resides and manufactures the
famous Ranch cigar. He has Il cosy
place where he, Mrs. Wentworth anC
their little family pass life in rural bliss
and comfort.
Ed. F. Mann and wife are happil,
esconsed in a comfortable home at the
confluence of Little and Big Otter, where
they meet and treat their friends mos
cordially. Their station house is still +
stopping place for travellers, though they
rented it with the farm one year age
to another party. The country about
the station reminds us of the rusti,
and luxuriant homesteads back in gooc
old Missouri.
j. ID. Richard, the prosperous Cor;
creek stockman, has a fine improved
farm one mile above the Cora station
He is just now shipping some horse,
east, as he does annually send stock tC
the eastern markets. Mrs. Richards is {
pleasant and accomplished lady, able IL
add grace to any home in Montana.
William Cressap and Henry Des.
Combes run the Cora station. 1t is 4
great rendezvous for travellers through
that section. Their affability and gcnia
manner are only equalled by the abund.
ance of everything to satisfy the inner
man.
