Wonder if any one in town knows that
T. c. Martin. formerly of Kahlotus. but
lately of Washtucna, is one of the first
wheat raisers Of Adams county. Well,
you are not very we'll informed if you
don't know th..t. For number OF years

tus. where he raised his first wheat, but
he has now moved to Washtucna and
expects 10 make his home there. His

Here is some good news: Reported
this morning that the FIGURING mill.
which has been closed or rather shut
down since week ago last Friday. will
resume its::ususl activity either Saturday

ious ~ to get to work. Never mind. fel-
lows, everything comes to him who
waits.

Kenzil. George Adler. r. S. Starr. Fred

though most of the wheat does not
reach the standard. still every little bit
helps.
Spokane people are certainly wild
about the Forepaugh & Sells Brothers
circus. Geewhiz! No wonder. 1t does
not require much energy to recall how
we were covered with dust and prevent.
ed from seeing what little there was to
be seen. Guess they will draw large
crowd next time they come. NOT!
1t seems that the Cascade Mountains
do not agree with Hans Thompson. He
has been camping in the Hills" for
some time and has returned to the old
town feeling very sickly. Everybody is
anxious to see Hans climb back to his
usual standard of health.
Three days Of very hot wind has done
considerable damage to the wheat crop.
The wheat. being in the milky stage and
in great need of nourishment. was SO set
back by the hot weather as to cause con.
siderable trouble in grading It: in fact
some of it cannot be graded at all.
