HOSPITAL DIRECTORS.

At the regular monthly meeting of the
board of hospital directors the need ~
repairs to the building was considered.
The building having settled at some of
the corners has caused the plaster of the
walls TO become badly cracked. Repairs
are essential, and therefore. as there are
no funds FOR the purpose Il VIII be ncCes-
Sary for the directors to borrow sum
sufficient for needed repairs. The stste
appropriation for the next two yeacs IS
less than In former years. 1t Is thought
that subscriptions and donations will be
asked in order to carry on the work suc-
cesstully.

few OF them have complied with that

Bros. Hoover and Sossaman, whose ar

will give US the news from the differ

The farmers IN the western part OF
the State have been prevented from
sowing wheat as early as usual, on &C
count of dry weather, and many OF
them are not done sowing yet. think
there is more wheat being sOwn In this
section. This is partly owing to the
fact that wheat is selling more readily,
at a living price than it has done for
several years past.
Our farmers have been busy gather
ing corr during the last few weeks, and
many of them are not done yet. !
think our crop Of corn is slightly under
q full average crop, but this partial
failure in the corn crop is supplemented
by q fine crop Of acorns and cheetnuts
in cur mountain forests. Hogs are In

process.
