homestead farm under the great south
side ditch that is to be. So she con-

the tsst of health. The horse gazed

VIM. Yockey returned the past week
from trip to the Plateau Valley on the
western slope. While there he visited
the office of the Colebourn Voice, and
found that the editor was an old time
Lamarite, having picked cantaloupes
several seasons on the Konksl ranch
near Lamar. Bill says glance at that
printing office would wiring tears Of hi
lasity out of even q Fiji islander. 1t
was in dugout, with cracker box for
an editorial desk and pumpkin for
stool. His case stands were construct
ed Of cantaloupe crates and the type
boxes consisted of scooped out canta-
loupe rinds arranged in a tray. His
press was made out Of odds and ends OF
an old Mccormick binder and a stump
puller. With this outfit he contrived TO
get out few copies of 2x4 sheet which
he called a newspaper. However, he
showed Bill few touches Of high life,
and incidentally made him acquainted
with the belle of the Plateau valley.
