When you stop to consider that
nearly every load of tobacco brought
into town these days is converted into
about $3.50 of cash, it can be easily fig
ured the amount of money the farmers
are carrying home with them from this
market. Every day the streets are
crowded with teams.
Both are glad! The Royal Neigh
bors and Woodmen that they held in
stallation jointly. 1t was the first of the
kind for these two orders and the clock
like work with which the exercises
passed off will recommend the joining
another year. The attendance was fair
ly large, the luncheon served by the
ladies was excellent and all seemed to
enjoy the evening.
The sudden rise of Saunders creek
during the week has endangered several
of the bridges in town through the COM
ing down of big fields of floating ice.
Dynamite was used by Street Commits
sioner Nelson several times to break up
the ice when it began to gorge at the ap-
proaches. One of the supporting tim
bers on the bridge near the feeding
yards was taken out but no serious dam
age was done.
"A train of 81 double deck car loads
of sheep arrived at the Shepard feeding
yards from Big Timber, Montana, Sat
urday. During the blizzard Sunday
night bunch of them which were
yarded in the open pen piled up and
about so head were smothered 1t is
the kind of an accident that the ranch
men always have to guard against in the
big storms on the ranges, and thousands
of sheep are annually lost that way.
The people of Edgerton ought to be
willing to supply rooms and board for a
still greater number of tobacco workers
who are yet needed in the warehouses
here. If we are to retain this tobacco
handling business, an extra effort must
be made by our citizens to supply the
needed accommodations for the help.
Any family which will take additional
roomers or boarders will please leave
their names at the bureau of informa-
ton at the city clerks office.
Some lightning changes have taken
place in the weather doled out to us dur
ing the week. There was passable sleigh
ing on Friday. Saturday warm sum-
mer atmosphere carried off the last Wis
tage of snow and ice. Sunday there was
mud and an appearance of spring
breakup with the water courses filled
with roaring flood. But "a blizzard
followed closely in the wake and Monday
morning the ground was again covered
with snow and the temperature ran
down towards the zero mark before
