We've Travelled over this big coun-
try from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
down to the Gulf and way up in Brit
ish America-but we'll be flabergasted
If we know what an ''elastic hotel" is
which Editor Chilly" of the Journal
refers to in a item of last week
as being n of ChamberIain's institu-
lions.
John Pazour has accepted an offer of
$4,000 from j. w. Sanford of Chamber
lain for his saloon building and bust
ness. No papers have been passed as
yet, but Mr.. Pazour says that Mr..
Sanford agreed to take the property
at the price named. Mr.. Pazour says
that he quits because his legs are CIV
ing out.
w. G. Richards asked a Chas. Mix
man, a few days ago, who claims to be
a cracker-jack Of a horseman, if they
had any thoroughbreds down that way
"You bet," he said, ''got one that
weighs 1900" Will turned and walked
away-he couldn't say a word-choked
at the idea of a man claiming to be a
horseman talking about thorough
hreds weighing 1900-classing draft
stations with the jumpers.
&C. Lowe did not get a flowing
we'll on his farm at Bijou Hills, though
a strong vein Of water was struck.
The water comes to within. twenty
feet of the top. The we'll is 1850 feet
deep and was put down on the highest
point Of the farm. The elevation
there seems to be too high to get a
flow. Mr.. Lowe will either put up a
windmill or buy a gasoline engine
he hasn't decided which.
According to an item in the educa-
tional column of the GRAPHIC this
week, Michael Walsh mas some pretty
bright boys, and who are bound to
have an education. 1t is these kind
of boys that make their way in the
world. Abraham Lincoln walked 80
miles through the woods to get a copy
of a grammar and studied nights after
he had gone to his quarters in the
loft of the old log house, by the light
of a tallow candle stuck in the chinks.
Col. ). M. Greene and DR.. Fred
TreOn write us that there will pro-
baby be fifty up from Chamberlain on
the special the night of Company HIS
annual ball-and Col. Greene wants
to know If the opera house will be big
enough. Well just make it big enough
to accommodate the rattling good peo-
pie OF Chamberlain who propose to
show Company H and Kimball the
courtesy of their presence upon this
occasion-if we have to "bust' the
sides out.
!, Tom Conley was in town Saturday
telling us about that Pacific coast
trip. He doesn't like the country a
little bit. In company with Vint
Wellner. he went through parts of
Oregon and Washington and then to
San Francisco, where he has a son run-
ming a barber shop and doing well,
Nh. COnley says. The nearest he came
to making a deal was for a farm the
owner wanted S21 an acre for. When
Tom SHE'D he whispered in his ear
that if he would keep it quiet he
might have the land for $l3 an acre.
Tom was afraid that the man might
deed it to him outright for zone dol
lar and other considerations''-aDd
flew.
