AUTOMOBILE NOT IN 1T

Although this is thought to be
strictly a fruit country and nothing
else, Tribune reporter viewed a
self-bnder at work in a ten acre
field of oats on the T. J. Campbell
ranch, just south of the Winger home,
one day this week.
The machine was quite a curiosity
to many of our people and some Of
our former Iowa and Kansas people,
it is said, even shed tears of joy at
the sight OF it, No doubt, because of
the thoughts of what they were miss
ing by not having a township or two
of grain to harvest in the torrid heat
of the above states and which would
net them the large sum of from five
to fifteen hundred dollars per acre.
The kodak fiend was also busy and
secured a number OF views of the
machine. 1t has been suggested that
the next machine OF the kind brought
into the Palisade district should be
housed in a tent and an admission
charged. It would be more of an
attraction than the first automobile
brought to the yalley.-Pallsade Tri-
bune.
