I1OOO NANAL<, July Il, 1917.
H. L. Bryan and wife returned about
ten days ago, after their wedding tour
and have gone to house keeping in the,
house lately occupied by J. Bond aud,
owned by T. Webb.
A letter from G. S. Davis, who
taught school at Riverside two or
three years ago, states that soon after
closing this school he went to South
ern Oregon and Northern California
with company of prospectors, where
he struck it rich, and then went to Nc
KEGS Rocks, Penn. where he is now
engaged in the Real Estate and fire
Insurance business.
Haying has been the main business
for the past twelve days in this region,
nearly every body making hay while
the sun shines. On the Purdy farm
four men have been at work; on the
reservation, Henry Allen, who is cut
ting the government hay on shares,
has seven men employed, and will be
through tomorrow; while on the Webb
farm, A. w. Fredson has small ar
my at work. They will hardly finish
this week. The weather has been ali
that the farmers could wish, far better
than if it had been pleasant in June,
and rainy IN July, such weather by
contrast reminds your correspondent
of 1885, when the government shay on
the reservation was cut, immediately
after which it began to rain, and this
continued for two or three weeks,
without chance of touching the hay
until the clover from beneath had
grown up through it six Or eight inch
es. However it was afterwards gath
cred and hauled in aud was bettgr
thanexpected for feed, as it had not
had chance to wilt during all the
time it lay on the ground. Old resi-
also tell story of one time ihsthe six
ties or seventies when Thomas Mdran
cut the hay on the Pnrdy farm. 1t
was nearly ready to haul in when
there came rain. This being over,
it was spread and dried, and about
ready to haul in again, when it again
rained. Again it was opened and
