ter of Mr. and Mrs Dan Gray, former

pair of lusty boy babies. Mother
and babies are getting along fine.
Maurice Finn is here this week
visiting his father and friends.
The Rev. Mr. Pickard and wife
entertained number of their
gentlemen friends Tuesday evening.
Music and singing were the features
of the evening.
Monday evening the home of Mrs
Lena Berta was the scene of merry
gathering of the members of Diana
Circle A. o. F. for the purpose of
installing their officers, having given
up their hall some time previous, aud
holding their meetings at Mrs Berta's.
Mrs Christina Pharis installed the
officers with much dignity, Impress
ing the officers with the Importance
of the occasion, after which dainty
spread was enjoyed. Mrs Berta is
most enthusiastic worker of the
order, and a good hostess, making
the evening pleasant one for all.
Chas. johnson left Monday morn
ing for Seven Troughs, New, and will
remain for an indefinite time, being
in the employ OF the mines at that
place.
Miss Maggie Lawlor returned to
San Francisco Sunday morning after
short visit with her parents and
family, and expects to shortly take
position in the city.
Miss Rose Lawlor has been con-
fined to her home for several days,
being quite i'll. Mrs l.. Ottinger is
substituting in her place in the
public school.
K. G. Merwin has been confined to
his home for several days on account

Edward O'Neill, an old resident liv-
ing in cabin near Mrs Gallardo be-
low the Lincoln mine, was found
dead Thursday evening Fin his cabin,

been dead for several days, although
the particulars are not yet known.
Some miscreant, man or boy, broke
into the residence of Chas. johnson
last Sunday evening, while the family
were at church, but nothing of value
was. taken, for the party was evident
Iy looking only for money. Later in
the evening the home of Mrs Pagan
was entered, but here again nothing
was gained. In. both instances en-
trance was gained through a window.
Everything was turned upside down
in the search for money. The only
traces left we're the foot prints of the
person IN the mud. Some are inclin-
ed to think that it is boy.

underbrush have been cleared off so
as to make it available for pasture
aud raising grain and hay. And now
in the hottest and dryest part of the
year there is FIVE or six times as
much water running from the springs
as there was before 1t was cleared off.
This we know TO be a fact, and we
can substantiate the same by living
witnesses. Perhaps it has never been
suggested to the scientific gentlemen
that perhaps that from ten to fifty,
and sometimes one hundred large
trees and great many small ones on
an acre of land would absorb more
moisture than the sun would after
the land was cleared off. At all
events in this case the verdict is
against the timber, and we think
investigation of all similar cases will
show similar results.
Old and Mrs Pub. have been sick
all the year with the exception of one
day. We we're taken sick on the
second day of the year, and have held
our own pretty we'll up to date. We
are improving now, and If nothing
turns up we will pull through this
time.
The Burke family are on the i'm
prove. The Bryant Wells family also.

the present. The warm weather and
the warm rains of December and
January have pushed along the feed
beyond all conception, and oonse-
quently prevented several thousand
head of stock from dying from
hunger and put millions of money
in the pockets of the stockraisers.
AS we have said before, the summer
fallow was short. So has been the
winter fallow, and fear that there
will be short acreage unless we
get long spell Of good weather in
February.
The Ledger seems to think that the
wild geese have notion that the
spring is about to open up. If those
wild geese go back to their summer
resort this time Of year, will bet
that they will get fooled little bit.
They sometimes do.
We understand that the ball given
last Saturday night for the benefit of
the band boys was success, both
socially and financially.
Robert l. Davis, son OF Mr. and Mrs
j. j. Davis, died at the home of his
parents in Shenandoah valley on
Monday last, Of consumption. He
had been afflicted for the past two
years. His fatal illness is believed
to have started from an injury re-
ceived while playing baseball about
two years ago. lie was struck in the
back, and while to all outward APP
pearance the injury healed up, it is
supposed that the injury was com
municated to the lung. He was
ed was the youngest of a large family,
consisting of six sons and one daugh-
ter, and was the first to be stricken
by the hand of death. lie was born
in Shenandoah valley, and was a
member of Forest parlor N S. q. W.
The funeral was held on Wednesday,
the remains being inferred in the
Plymouth cemetery.
Say, is it fact that it is optional
with the Mikado of Japan to send as
many or as few of his subjects as he
pleases to the United States.
