California junction, Ia.
Editor Times,-

Editor Times,-
It is unfortunate that a
town with such enterprise and Of
such grand patriotic principles
should be entirely ignored from
an occasiopal notice in the news
papers of the county.
Our pen is somewhat slow and
rustic when moved to jot down a
few of the leading particulars of
the neighborhood but we are go
ing to appeal for a place in one Of
your columns from now until after
campaign is over or at least till
we become too lazy or neglectful
to write the locals.
Cal junction is decidedly on
the boom. We have had seven
new houses erected this summer
w A Smith building six and
James Finley one.
We learn that w A anticipates
the erection of two more in the
near future.
In addition to those we have a
now scales put in on our street by
a man who rented the elevator of
M A Myers. Mr. Arnold, of Coun-
Gil Bluffs will be found at these
scales ready TO buy wheat and
corn.
Our genial station agent, Fred
Burgers has placed an elegant
set of furniture in one of the new
houses and it is rumored that
Fred intends to take unto himself
a wife soon, but we will pass any
further notice on this local for
fear it willspoil a nice write up
OF wedding that may happen in
the near future.
One of the most popular places
OF business found on our streets
is the barber shop operated by
John Danniker. He has a brand
new building located close to the
city hall on our main street and
has been doinga rushing business;
shaving, selling pop and cigars.
1t was first thought, and in fact
settled in the minds Of our bust.
nessmen that barber shop would
never pay at this place, but any.
one passing along the street al
any hour of the day and even in
the late hours of night can see
John busily engaged in decorat.
ing the mugs of scores of people
who have seldom patronized a bal
Der shop in the past. He seems
to be the right man III the right
place and he has gained the
good will and esteem of all the
citizens of the town.
Hugh Coulthard has began to
thresh his wheat. The yield on Is
acres already threshed shows an
average Of Is blu. per acre.
Marshal Meyers is running two
steam threshers this year.
Rube Olinger and Fred Herman
have purchased self feeder and
a blow stacker for their separator
and are already pounding out the
shocks in this vicinity.
The beets planted in this neigh
borhood are pronounced the best
on record by the managers of the
Ames sugar factory who have been
here to examine our fields.

When Mrs w 81 Fensler and

eral days ago for Manitou, Col,
intending to spend several weeks
there, they checked two trunks
filled with all the requisites of a
