not learned whether Mr.. Maddox in
tends TO retire from the sheep business
or not. lie has about 225 head left yet.
James Pentecost, the 17-year-old son
OF II. w. Pentecost OF Mayyille. died
Thursday Of last week at the home Of
Walter Smith, near lone, Morrow coun-
ty. He had been sick several weeks
from the effects OF n sprain he received
while loading wheat. He had been at
work over there for several months and
was a hard-working young man. II Is a
sad blow TO his father and other rela-
tives.
John Madden stopped in town Satur-
day on his way home from The Dalles,
to which place he took several extra
good horses and sold them at about six
times the prices usually received for
scrub horses in this section. Mr.. Mad
den raises only 6rst-class, heavy horses
and never finds any trouble In selling
them at big prices. This system ought
10 be practiced more by all our horse
and cattle men.
We acknowledge a pleasant call from
Mr.. Alosco Moore, principal OF the Lone
Rock schools, who is attending the ex-
animation here this week. Although
Mr.. Moore is not yet 2l years Of age he
has taught six terms Of school and 10
graduate OF one OF the best schools in
Iowa. lie Is already frst-class in
structor and 10 sure TO improve with ex-
perience. His wife is also frst-class
teacher and most estimable little lady.
II. II. Hendricks and Chas. Mckenzie,
proprietors Of the Butte Creek saw mill,
were in town the first OF this week, put
ting in a bid TO Shed Grider for the fur
nishing OF the lumber TO be used in
building the bridges and cnlverts for the
new Thirtymile road. Herbert Halstead
also bid on the contract and his being
the lowest, he was awarded the contract
for furnishing all the bridge and culyert
lumber, $1,000 feet in all. We have not
learned the amount Of bis bid.
One Of the most fearful and exciting
races Of the year is soon to take place
over the New York Central track. En-
gine 800, which has record OF ll2
miles an hour, 10 TO try her speed with
an English engine for the championship
Of the rail. The swiftness Of about two
miles a minute, which makes telegraph
poles seem TO the engineer no larger
than hoe handles, is the utmost that
human nerves rocked by eight-foot
drive wheels can endure, and beyond
the desire 10 gamble on the result, the
object Of the contest can be Of no great
Importance.
J. H. Bowen has already begun work
on his three sections Of the new Thirty
mile road. He will camp on the ground
while the work is in progress, and has
bis tent pitched in what we believe is
the finest natural camping place west Of
the Rockies. About one mile from the
creek is a great cavern or rock house,
perhaps 100 yards long by so feet deep
that is, the huge mountain projects out
about 80 feet, the rock bottom being on
level with the road. A large spring Of
excellent water is within this enormous
amphitheater, and il will soon become
famous as an ideal camping place for
teamsters. They can afford TO travel
five or ten miles further in order 70
reach it..
