We crave the indulgence and
for bearance of our subscribers
for an issue or two. The large
increase Of our subscription list
as a result Of the Piano Contest
has resulted in the routes being
increased to that point where ad-
ditional carriers are necessary.
AS soon as the work Incidental
to the first has passed we will
begin the task of re-routing the
city for four carriers instead of
two and when these routes are
completed and the carriers are
familiar with them our subscrib-
ers will have no further difficult
ty with the papers. Until then
bear with US.

Ed Hoeffs took sudden bath in the
icy waters of the Elkhorn at the mill
pond last Friday afternoon. Owing to
the high water he was assisting in the
removal of the flash boards from the
dam when he became over balanced
and was plunged into the turbulent
waters below. The force of the water
pouring over the dam made several
feet of froth and foam of the conStitu-
ency OF mud and Ed thought he had
dropped into a gigantic washing ma
chine. It was only after considerable
exertion that he was able to free him
self but after a fast run for home and
dry clothingah he was none the worse
