ALHVA LAND
SOLD IN JULY
MOUNTAIN HOME SITES AND
OTHER DESIRABLE PROPERTY
TO BE PLACED ON MARKET.

The sale of Alewa lands will prob
ably occur on July 30. This is the date
that Land Commissioner Pratt has in
mind and unless something unforeseen
occurs, he will nave the sale take place
then. The sale will be held in the
front of the Judiciary building, comS
mencing at 10 a. m.
1t has been decided to offer from lots
5 to 81 without residence conditions and
lots from So to So with residence con-
ditions. This division will enable peo-
pie desiring to secure homes at rea-
sonable figure, an opportunity of pos
sibly securing them, whereas people
having homes already, may secure in
the first batch, land for mountain resi-
dences or for other purposes. Other
conditions involved in the sale are
about the same with both classes of
lots. The government offers the lots
just as they are, without any guarantee
of water being put on them. The gov
eminent does agree however to devote
so per cent of the appraised value of
the lots, that may be derived from the
SALE for use in the construction of
roads to open up the various lots sold.
This sale of lots has attracted con-
siderable attention and a great many
people will it is predicted, attend the
sale for the purpose of bidding on the
lots. The sale will have to be ad-
vertised for a period of 80 days. Com
missioner Pratt may be abe to start
the advertising today.

"Oh the humdrum monotonousness
of every day life," seeems to be a
characteristic wall of the American
people. We sigh for some meteoric
accomplishment, for more activity, for
more haste in our business relations
and in our home life. Yet how vain
these aspirations really are. the every
day life makes us what we are. Every
day, whether working or idling, we
are forming our character, and either
building it up or tearing it down. The
performing of the common little duties
of each day contribute their part to
the formation of a character which
may be the making of an Abraham
Lincoln or a William Mckinley. Let
us not complain of the irksomeness of
every day life and strive to live our lit
tie lives honestly and contentedly.

Hide and Leather has the following
story: Not long ago a farmer in Iowa
went to harness dealer to buy har-
ness. He found one that suited him and
the price was $40. The farmer happen
ed to remember that about dozen
years ago he had bought harness
just like it from the same dealer for
$S5, and he mentioned the fact. The
dealer went to his books and found
this to be true. But. - said the deal
er, ''my books show that you did not
pay cash for it, because you did not
have the money. You hauled in 800
bushels of corn and gave it to me for
the $35 harness. Now | will tell YOU
what / will do. If you are willing to
bring me 800 bushels of corn l will
give you the $45 harness, also a double
buggy driving harness, also a plush
robe worth 81, boys riding saddle
worth $5, one pair of wool blankets
worth 81, one whip and riding bride
worth $1-50, two leather brides, worth
$3.50, brush and curry comb worth 81,
and rawhide whip worth 81.

Political editorials have fallen into
disfavor among country weeklies and
the lot to scrap out the petty political
quarrels seems to have fallen to the
city dailies. The country editor now
a-days who wantonly tears one party
to pieces in advocating his own princi-
pies has been discovered by his read
ers to be only a tool of his party, pre-
JUDGED in his opinions and unfair in
his criticisms. The country editor of
to-day and tomorrow, and, we believe,
every self-respecting citizen, must
stand for the individual candidate and
be independent of party ties.

IIo! Behold the summers promise stands
revealed upon the hills
BivOuacked. an army campeth by the
ever singing rills,
From the shock-tents of the soldiers,
shedding sunlight back to sun,
Mods the tasseled flag of Plenty-for the
seasons fight is won!
IN the golden glow Of morning, see the
Army rise from mist,
Throwing off its blackened mantle
loosing shackled limb and wrist
BY the pickets that protect it, stand the
cattle, wonder-eyed
At the bladed horde of Ceres. at the
Army's stalwart pride!
In the hedge rows by the border, skull
the quail, a frightened brood;
Nut-brown pheasants whirr and gather
at the mess tents for their food.
Harki Across the tented valley comes the
baying of the hound
And the echo of the bugle with it's quav-
er, round round.
See! The Army wakes. to quiver with the
zephyr's ebb and flow!
Now the reveille is sounded by the
North Winds lusty blow.
All. II wallens not to slaughter, but to
Peace and Hope and God
To the heraldry of Plenty and the
Bounty of the Sod!
over all the sun is shedding tangled gos
samers of light
Tipping Ceres band with glory, crown
ing Ceres brow with might
Aye, the promise OF the summer stands
revealed from Plenty's horn
In the rows of tented soIdierS-in the
