Just a Rumor.

On top of the announcement
of the sale by r. L. Douglass of
his ranch property in this
county, rumor has it that the
purchaser. Mr.. Kline, will sub
divide the ranch into 160-acre
tracts and colonize it. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Kline will
arrive here Monday. Should
the rumor prove true it means
that that one ranch alone will
be made to support nearly as
many families as there are at
the present time in the entire
county. The ranch comprises
over 10000 acres Of land.

On last Monday as Paul Pesche,

Fine COffeeS.

We very often find that there is
difference in the taste from time to
time in the coffee we buy and we Of
ten ask our dealer, "What is the mat
ter with that coffee? 1t hasn't the
same taste as usual" The dealer
can't give any reason and we certainly
are at loss to know. A very logical
reason is given by the representative
OF the company whose coffee is
handled by Mr.. J. H. Simonton.
He explains that concerns who 90 in
to the open market each season to
match coffees they roasted and sold
the preceeding season And il inn
possible TO secure coffee from the
same plantation the second time.
The fine coffees which Mr.. Simonton
is handling are grown and roasted by
one of the largest concerns of its kind
in this country. This company owns
and operates its coffee plantation and
markets its coffee direct from planta-
ton to consumer, in a unique manner,
through dealers who are stockholders
in the company. The coffee is grown
in district which has advantages of
soil and climate unknown to any
other locality of Central America,
and the coffee from this district pos
sesses excellent fiavors which cannot
be found in other localities. The
name of this company and it's planta-
ton, as we'll as the brand of the cof-
fee is found on page of this issue.

Base Ball.

The three games played on the
home grounds with the Elk River
team, on Friday Saturday and Sun
day, resulted in the locals capturing
two. Fridays game was not very
interesting one, it was not marked
with any sensational playing on either
side. The score stood at the end of
the game 6 to 8 in favor of the home
team.
On Saturday the Elk River team
won, the score standing to 8. The
game was about as one-sided an affair
as was ever pulled off in the ball park.
1t was no surprise that the Elk River
team won. Under the circumstances
the best league team could not win.
Sundays game was surprise to the
Elk River aggregation. They simply
found out that their skill in base ball
might be considered good down the
river, but when the real fast article
was dished up to them they were
found to be very much out-classed.
They fooled round for nine innings
flaming the air, and then quit. Score
l8 too.
The Elk River team had pretty
good reputation as fast bunch of
players, and they had not lost game
this season until they came here.
There seems to be lack of interest
in base ball, and the games are not
patronized as they should be. Sank
Centres team has done the best of
work, their PERCENTAGE is far ahead of
any team in the state. They are
deserving of more encouragement.
The games should be better pat
ronized.
