+. ID. Davidson who runs a
blacksmith shop at the junction Of
the roads near Red Rock canyon
has made application for a post
Office to be established at that
point to be known as Red Rock
He reports that large corps Of
surveyors arrived down there last
week and from what he could learn
they are preparing to cross-section
next month in Red Rock canyon,
where surveyors left off last fall
on survey of j. M. Dixon up
Cottonwood creek. A gentleman
from Cottonwood creek canyon
reports another party of surveyors
have arrived near mouth of Cotton
wood creek and claim they are
cross-sectioning party. 1t is
quite evident some important
developments will soon transpire
in the railroad situation for Camas
Prairie as the period approaches
for expiration of truce Feb. 5.
We will soon know where we are
at.
b. +. Morris is busy buying
right-of-way to Nez Perez City for
the o. Il. Il NJ, so we are informed
by parties direct from that town.
Some recent developments in the
small pox situation about here
have created a sentiment that the
quarantine is a useless expense
upon the tax payers. If not prop
erly enforced there is a disposition
on the part of a great many con-
cerned in this neighborhood to
take the law in their own hands,
and there will be no trifling in the
matter judging from recent devel-
opments.

DIR. Stockton expects to return
any time now.
The Denver Juvenile Chorus
met ut the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Pulse Friday evening and were
greatly entertained by the wonder
full playing on the piano of Miss
Villa Wilkinson who is but
years old, For a child of her age
abe plays the most difficult music
and the boys who compose the
chorus were delighted with her
playing and hope she will come
again. The boys are progressing
rapidly with their songs and ex-
pect to soon appear in a public
concert
Our school will probably open
inside of 2 or weeks for
months term as soon as principal
Hardwick can be communicated
with, who is at Nez Perez at
present.
