several friends who were among the
lucky ones to draw slice Of Uncle

the reputation of being one of the
fastest thresh feeders in the state and
the bumper and sack holder are con
stantly kept on the jump and it is
seldom John ever gets hot box.

with turnout of 2l6 bushels. He
has quite lot of wheat yet to thresh
which he will start on inside of a
couple of weeks.
William Lever, the prosperous
bachelor ranchman, is paying. close
attention to his crop of sugar beets
and will undoubtedly have the finest

are thriving splendidly and some are
as large as mans head.

Neuralgia seems to have gotten a
firm hold on the face of our friend,
Phil Van Cleve, who has been suffer
ing greatly the past week He says
after he lands in "the city of lights, -
where there is enough fun to make a
man forget he was sick, the pain
wonld take flight to return no more.
We hope so, Van.
Phil Van Cleve left the first of the
week for Denver to attend the q. A.
R. encampment. He will be absent a
week or ten days and while in the
capital city will take in all the lights
and enjoy himself hugely. Ivan" is
a farmer all right enough, but far
from being an easy victim to the green
goods man, so if accosted by such, it
will be a good thing for that individ-
ual not to ply his vocation on Ivan, -
The tunnel which Phil Van Cleve
is having dug through topiee is
making good head way and if all goes
we'll will be finished inside of a
month. The object of cutting the
tunnel through. is to make connec-

give aqua in plenty for irrigation
purposes on his ranch situated where
water is scant.
A cloudburst about six miles up
the creek Monday last played havoc
with the county road and bridges and
put good many wheat sheaves to
food which has been cut and bound
and were in readiness to haul to be
ricked. The cloudburst was 50 sud
den that the farmers in the vicinity
of the downpour were taken wholly by
surprise, consequently are mourning
the loss of quite a sum of money
which would have been reaped had
not the flood played such mean trick
on them.
