Mrs. Titus, daughter and son,
are among the guests at the resi-
dence of S. M. Smith. Mr.. Titus
runs a department store in Denver.
William Treder, who for years
has been mining in the Idaho

months past has been visiting with
relatives in the valley, has re-
turned.
DR.. Smith will again preach at

VIM. ]. Baker, of Denver, and
his associates have commenced op-
erations on what is known as the

a modern machine plant will be in
stalled. There is an abundance
of capital behind the enterprise.
A most peculiar accident befell
Miss Eliza Ellis last Monday
morning. In preparing breakfast
she was making coffee for a guest,
and had utilized a granite bucket
for the purpose, the family not be-
ing coffee drinkers, a coffee pot
was not considered a household
necessity. The illy-ftting lid to
the bucket had fallen down on the
inside and fitted snugly all around
preventing the steam from escap-
ing. When the pressure reaching
a high degree the bucket exploded,
throwing the hot fluid into the
face of Miss Ellis, scalding her
terribly about the face and neck.
The pain was eXcretiating and the
services of a physician was called
to relieve the suffering.
The visitor to the Springs is
naturally attracted by the appear
ance of the natatorium, which is
really an imposing structure and a
credit to the city. This edifce owes
its existence to DR.. Finucane, of
this city, who some years since
had a lease upon the baths, with a
verbal option upon the property.
The building was to cost, according
to the original plans, in the neigh
borhood of 81 900, but subsequent
changes made the amount over
double that figure. While the
doctor, during his three years pos
session of the property, through
different causes, lost considerable
money, he still takes pardonable
pride in the thought that he, more
than any other, was the cause
of the great improvements that
have been made in that locality.

Bismarck, N. D., June 3.-The past
week has been very favorable one for
crops of all kinds and they have made
rapid progress. Showers Of rain fell at
widely separated points, but We're not
needed, as the rains Of the previous week
had already saturated the soil, especially
in the Red river valley, some parts Of
which report that damage has been done
grain by the fields being flooded. Light
hail storms are reported from several
places, but no damage was done.
Wheat is all up; in some places al
ready covers the ground, and is making
very rapid growth Oats, rye and bar
ley are also doing well, but are not so far
advanced as rule, as the wheat. Flax
seeding, which was interrupted by Inc
rains Of the previous week.. has been re-
suned and a good part of the crop is
now In; that sown early is up and looks
very well; that sown late is coming up
fast.
Corn is about all planted and most Of
it is up, but is not making a rapid growth
as the weather has been rather too cool
for it. In some sections part of it has
rotted and will have to be replanted.
Grass has made a decided advance
since the rains and is high enough to
furnish good pasturage on the ranges,
while meadows are in excellent condition
and promise large crop of hay.
