Snakes, especially

Snakes, especially of the
rattle snake variety, are rare
thing in Canyon City, at least
such is our information, and so,
when on Thursday morning,
Mrs. Jno. A. Wallace saw one
coiled up in her flower bed it
caused something of a sensation
you may be sure. Now, an old
saying about this species of
snake is, that "where you find
one, more are likely to be
around" and to be prepared
against any emergency it might
be well to read one of our snake

Wednesday morning, county
clerk Garrison was exhibiting
at the court house some bunch
es OF oats, wheat and rye, which
he stated were fair samples of a
considerable acreage in these
crops on his ranch. If the
stands" are good, and Joe de-
clares they are, he should make
o. the wheat and rye about so
bushels and Of the oats about
100 bushels per acre. When the
News reporter insinuated that
these samples might have been
hot house reared for exhibition
purposes, Joe declared, then
and there that nothing short of
an instant apology or a visit Of
the reporter to where the proof
stood in the fields would satisfy
his wounded dignity, and this
last named alternative the re-
porter agreed 70 accept.
