The Scott Buchanan Bareinger
crew threshed 100 acres of wheat
for Tyra Smith last week, and that
gentleman is loud in his praise of
the manner in which the job was
done. Mr.. Smith has had 25 years
experience in tbreshing grain and
he knows something about that
kind of work, but he says he never
did as good job OF threshing for
himself as these boys did for him
last week. Their machine is ICY.
lone," with all the latest improve
ments. The 100 acres yielded

left about ten days ago under the

Clodfelter for Klamath Co., Oregon,
in search of timber land claims ar

decided to quit the premises and
come home. He thought at one

that lay-of might show up at any
time deferred him from this step.

county since they began opera

that the company will probably
erect building oftheir own there
as a large building is necessary
for their use and such a one can
not be rented. In speaking of
his company's plant, Mr.. Cramer
said that at present they employ
about twenty men but that next
