Buckner was gently pushed into a

and Immediately the large heart over

handkerchiefs. Later the five course

and color scheme being carried out to
perfection. After the last course Miss

from 40 to 81 bushels per acre; spring
wheat from % to 40 bushels per acre,

ever seen. Potatoes are simply fine,
single potatoes weighing from 2 to
AZ lbs, the Al pound potato | raised
myself. Vegetables of all kinds 10
like proportions and fruits are the
finest | have ever had the pleasure OF
seeing. Stock of all kinds do well
here. My neighbor has about 300
head of hogs and since l have been
here there has been no cholera OF any
other disease among them. | have
between 40 and so head that are doing
fine on barley. The weather so far
this winter has been tot degrees a.
bove zero mot below.) The past three
weeks has been fine weather for
sleighing. Hundreds Of teams are
busy bringing wood from the adjoin-
ing mountains. / see logs pass my
place 8 feet through and from 20 to 30
feet long straight as a rifle barrel. 1t
seems a pity TO use such timber for
wood, but the mountains can furnish
this kind for many years to come.
There is a survey from Lewiston,
Idaho, 10 Grangeyille, a distance Of 50
miles, for an electric railway. They
have abundant water power in the
Clearwater river TO handle such an
enterprise and everybody looks with
favor toward the time when we will
have a railroad to connect us with the
outside world. 1t will be a great
help to the country, for in the spring
OF the year the wagon roads are SIM
ply horrid. / don't want to miss one

The Hon. G.. &c Whelan was then
introduced and made the address of
the evening, speaking an hour and
fifteen minutes. He is one of the best
platform orators In the west. In be-
ginning his lecture Mr.. Whelan paid
a high compliment to the Foresters Of
Mexico as well as to the members Of

class of members which helps to build
up the order. mo more loyal Wood
men exist" said he, ethan the Missouri
Woodmen and when | enter the grand
old State of Missouri l feel that / am
still at home." He then talked on
the chief principles OF the order-fra-
ternity and insurance-and dwelt at
length on two little words, "Too
Late" He told of the thousands of
widows and orphans who had been
provided for by this noble order and
thu great goodlit is doing toward max
ing homes happy and comfortable, He
emphasized the fraternal feature be-
cause where fraternity exists the
standard of morality and good gov
eminent are sure to result.
The insurance feature was dweit
upon at length by the speaker and he
challenged any other fraternal insur-
ance order to show a better record.
He said that the order had passed
through some trying ordeals, but 1T
had surmounted all obstacles and is
now In a more %fourishlng condition
than at any time before In its history.
He said the order has more money In
its treasury now than ever before and
that the treasury Is surrounded by
safeguards that assure its rightful dis
pensation. He said that although the
order had been in existence not quite
a quarter Of a century yet In that
brief period 1t had paid out to bene-
fciaries the magnificent sum of sls,-
500, 100000. He spoke of the fact that
all men on their death bed who had
not provided for their families felt
that they had neglected a duty, and
he urged the young men, present not
TO delay too long.

PAVEMENT PAYS.
North Washington Street Should by
Ali Means be Paved to the Hitch
ing Rack Lot-A Good Invest
ment.


1t is especially important that the
property owners OF North Washington
street, between Monroe and Love
streets, reconsider their action in nj
ing a protest againt paving that sec
ton with brick. This paving is
especially necessary, as the street con-
meets the city hitchihg lots with the
paved streets OF the business portion.
IL is to be hoped that the pro.
testing property owners will recon
slider the matter and make the invest
'ment, as it is an Investment pure aud
simple, there being ne doubt that the
value q property is increased more
than thecost OF paving by such I'M
provement. Washington street Is 90
feet wide. Being within the IRE
limits sidewalks along this section ui
the street are 10 feet wide, leaving
but 40 feet to be paved. Figuring On
the basis OF the contract under which
the other paving was done, IA pei
square yard, which without doubt
could be duplicated, the paving would
costl 6cents per square foot. At this
rate it would cost AUDITING property
owners along North Washington
street 50 20 per linear foot for paving
to the middle OF the street, &c feet,
The heaviest holders Of the property
J.. e. Moore, Orlando Hill and the
City Of Mexico, owning 100 feet eacf
Of the abutting property, would have
to pay 1884 each for the Improvement
The balance of the paving, o~ne-fourthi
would be paid for by G. d Ferris, Mrs
Amanda Kunel, r. M. White and
W. II. French. The paving should bt
done by all means. This is a business
proposition and If the cost was double
IL would pay big in the long run.
