lis a fact that many good news
items of local interest are lost to
newspapers every day by the nodes
ty of people who hesitate to tell the
editor matters concerning themselves
The right thing to do is to stop the
newspaper man on the street or any
other place you happen to meet him
and tell him that you were away on a
visit, that you had relatives visiting
you, that you entertained friends,
that you have been doing we'll. II
you have done anything mean, of
course, keep that to Yourself, for
there are others who will tell that

Saturday evening, while the Fur
stenburg boys were moving their en-
CINE on. the highway over a bridge
near Sam Anderson's place, about
four miles north of here, the bridge
gave away when they were about half
way across, letting the engine fail
about ten feet into to water. The
engine struck on it's side and only
the steering wheel and platform wer.,
broken. Elias Bloom went out with
his house moving outfit and pulled it
up. Que of the owners and J.
Sowles, engineer, had narrow es-
cape from going down with it, and
from flying planks. ...s .,
The G. A. R. post has decided that
the cannon awarded them by Con
gresham .McCleary is too large for
their wants, it being a lOO-poupder,
and not suitable to be moved around

have asked Mr.. McCleary if change
cannot be made so as to give them a

have and used in celebrations. At a
meeting of the post held Saturday

G.. R. Leonard, manager of the Or
egon Indian Medicine Co. No. 10,
passed through our city Monday
morning on his way to Brewster,
where he stopped Monday night for
one weeks advertising. He has with
him first class doctor, and anyone
suffering from the many ills that
flesh is heir to can consult the doctor
free. The concert company is COM
posed of Number One peo-
pie and gives an entertainment each
night in a round top tent, seated
with opera chairs. Anyone attend
ing, not satisfied with the entertain
ment, can notify the management
and their money will be refunded.
Mr.. Leonard informs us that he
closed at Rushmore to a good bust

The creamery brings indirect bene-
fits to good many besides its pat
rons. The people in the village
where it is located are able to get
skim milk and butter at low prices,
and they are valuable articles of
food. The farmer who does not haul
too far can often buy skim milk and
buttermilk for his pigs and make a
snug profit. Here and there a man
who does not want to go with the
crowd, buys up the young calves at
from IS cents to $l.5O per head, and
puts two of them on a COW until they
are ready for veal. and then gives the
same COW another one or two, thus
finding a good home market for his
milk. A little management will get
a good deal of profit out of tracta-
bic COW on this plan, and others as
good will suggest themselves to fit
the special locality. These may be
called by-products of the creamery
