FOSSIL NOTES
From the Journal.

Nesin Bros. are running a band Of
iamhs Tor Andrew Patterson, on the
Wallace place.
Robert Daniel has bonght bunch OF
500 sheep from the Butte Greek Lar,i,
LnmLer & Livestoek Company, which
he will winter on his ranch near Fossil.
Bob johnson hought the Wheeler
ranch on Gird Greek last month. This
splendid place, with his other lands al.
jnining II, gives Bob one OF the best
sheep ranches in Wheeler county. He
has moved from his house on tho old
pla,e into the tine residence on the
Wheeler place,
Most Of the timber land in Wheeler
county has been filed npun, While
there are still scattering claims to be
picked up, claimants who come out this
way in big lunches such as have been
coming during the past Summer expect.
ing all to be located within few days,
wills be disappointed, and perhaps
swindled by unscruuplous locaters.
Henceiorth Il would he prudent for
claimants TO take uut local surveyor
with them, so that they may know tn a
certaints what land they are taking, be-
fore paying II location fec TO anyone.

TINE ORIGIN or HALLOWEEN
Communicated

We celebrate the thirty.first OF 0cto.
her ss Halloween" because 1t is the
eve Of IAN Saints {" bat We have to 20
back further than Christianity TO find
ont why we celebrate the day in the way
that We do, with carrying of pumpkin
torches, roasting nuts. strange ceremo-
nies with apples, and ghost stories in the
fire light. Halloween has been the
great harvest festival almost ever since
the first garden was planted, II was
one Of the three festivals celebrated bv
the Druid., MAY first, the planting June
twenty first, the ripening. and, greatest
OF all, October Slst, the harvesting. In
the days of pagan Rome October thirty
fret WAS the feast OF Pomona goddess Of
fruits aud garden produce Christianity
changed Pomona To the "angel who
guards the gardens" and 1t was but
natural that Gods harvesting shonld
come to be observed at this time also.
aud this day devoted TO the remem.
brance OF the souls that Gods hand had
gathered in." Also, on this day the
Druids renewed the sacred fires, and
the husbandmen had prepared their
hearth fires for the long winter to come,
then, az fire is the preventative of two
great evils, cold and hunger, it ca me in
time to be thought of as the preventa-
tive of other evils also, the evils that
lived in the air and sky, pixies, fairies,
ghouls, ghosts and gobins, go that, even
as late as the seventeenth century, farm.
ers made the rounds of their farms
swinging tirery torches, and singing SOL
emu doggerl to prevent the uncanny
ones from casting spell over the crops.
Therefore when we OF today bring out
the homely fruits of harvesting, the
nuts, and the apples and the pumpkins,
march about with jack, o'anterns, cit
by the fire turning apples on spit to
weird rhymes, and roast nuts in pairs
while listening to ghosting to ghostly
tales, we are uniting the traditions of at
least three religions and doing that in
fun which was once solemn ceremony.

Good business men and careful prop
erty owners always want to know Of
the reliability of corporations to which
they entrust important affairs They
do not wish to pay out money unless
they are to receive its iull value On
the other hand good corporations want
fair play also. One that has always
given full value, and is Of great benefit
to its patrons and the public, should
have full share Of public confidence
and business. Therefore the host of
