Hay diggers and shovelers are now
quite in demand down in Jordan Val
ley. There are number of able bodied

fields might increase their appetites
that keeps some of them at home.

his young friends blow out Every
body who ever knew that big hearted
gentleman will hope that he may live

however, that it was only two usually
very quiet gentlemen down from the
mountain who wanted to surprise the
down town people by showing them
that the mountain men had mussle,
scieace and ability.
Our minister has been setting a fine
example this week by DOMINIC overalls

shovelers. The NUGGET will do all it
can toward looking after his little flock
during the time he is helping to save
the crops. Later-He changed his
mind and has taken up carpenter work
at Wagontown.
H. G. Bennett (Ted) left DeLamar
yesterday to sojourn for awhile in
Marysville, Montana. Ted, except for
a little whirl around the world which
he took on one occasion, has lived here
for the past seven years, and were it
not that we know that he will pick up
friends anywhere he goes, we would try
harder to persuade him to stay where
he has so many. We all wish him e
world of good luck.
