Death of August Petersen

The community was very much
shocked and panied Monday to learn
Of the death OF August Petersen. Mr.,
Petersen was one Of the pioneers in
this county and by industry and care
.ul management had provided for him
self and family nice home and WAS
getting in shape 10 take life a little
more easy and enjoy the fruits of his
labor. He had been troubled more or
less with heart failure for some two
years, but no one seemed to think il
was anything serious. Saturday, how
ever, DR.. Hudson was sent for, but
there was nothing that could be done.
The doctor saw that the end was ap.
preaching and Sunday about sundown
he passed away. He leaves a wife and
nine children to whom Is extended
the sympathy OF the entire community.
Mr.. Petersen was born in Denmark.
August 5, 1863. and died on his ranch
on the north divide July 10, 1901

The Weather Uncertain.

The climate and the condition of the
crops are ever matters of interest to
the secretary Of Agriculture. He re-
ports that winter wheat has been
greatly damaged in Nebraska, Kansas,
Oklahoma, and Missouri, by continu-
GUS and heavy rains. But corn has
made rapid growth and gives promise
OF An abundant crop. There is much
rejoicing at the department over u
report from Victoria. Texas, that the
Guatemalan ant "ki!ls everything in
sight" In other words it attacks the
cottun boil weevil, and other ants also.
The department has thought it best to
issue circular to local weather OBJ
servers, recommending them not to
put too much confidence in unofficial
long range forecasts. The public
should be educated to know that it is
impossible to tell the weather a week
il month or six months in advance, and
that it is foolish to be alarmed because
floods. cyclones and cold waves in sum
mer time are predicted. As Nr. Moore
of the weather bureau says. "It is
hard to hit the nail on the head in a
twenty-fonr hour forecast.

lrrigatlOn DistriCI Formed.

The Julcsbnrg Irrigation dis
trict was formed at an election
held last Saturday. The vote was
twenty-f for the district and
three against. The following
named electors were chosen:
First division, j. l.. Elhart, sec
ond division, Frank Hcrfort,
third division, E. B. Davis. The
directors are all progressive men,
and are in favor of the construc-
ton of a reservoir. 1t is therefore
probable that they will immedi-
ately take steps towards contract
ing with Mr.. Camticld or some
other parties to this end.

Husband tdubiously): "Well-er-
