given a different value In the count

The cloth known as alpaca comes
from the wool of the animal of the
same name which thrives only in the
mountains of Chill and Peru. It
looks good deal like our sheep and
has most beautiful fleece. Great
flochs of them feed on the highest
ranges and belong to the native In
dians who have sheared them once a
year. Efforts have been made to
breed them in other parts OF the
world but without suceess. The
cloth known as mohair is made
from the fleece of the angora goat.

TOM DUSTIN
Hove In From Port Maxwell U. S. A.
And Reports Every Thing Serene
In That Far off City

Years ago Tom Dustin was the FORE
man of this Office but while the U. s..
A..were in a turmoil with Spain and
annexing unto herself the territory
that Spain didn't particularly need,
Tom became imbued with the spirit
or progress too, and attached himself
to Humboldt city,a size larger than
Extra, and there he remained until he
later moved to Maxwell. Now how
Tom is behaving in Maxwell we are
unable to say, but from his general
appearance and make up he has stood
the test and while his quarter deck is
awash his topsail halyards elack his
flying glib a sheet in the wind. He
just snatches time enough to pass the
compliments of the season to his old
pals, luffs her up bit and away he
went on the: port tack, like race
horse to the tap OF the bell. Well for
give thee this time old pal but shi

INTERESTING LETTER
From Mrs. A. w. Carpenter Of Brow
nell Kansas Claiming That Henry
Carpenter was The First White
Boy Born in Audubon Co.
Brownell, Kan.

July 2o, 1913
Editor of Audubon County Journal
Dear Sir:-Seeing the piece in the
Audubon County Journal, giving
the history of the early settlers of
the county, 1 wish to say that there
were two families, that were early
settlers in that county, that were
not mentioned in the writing.
One was Ruben Carpenter and
family, and the other was Amherst
Heath and fumily. Ruben Carpen-
ter settled on wnat is known as the
Harry Bowen place, about mile
eouthweet of the Harnlin farm in
the fall of 1852. The next spring
Feb. IA, 1858 a son was born to them
and this son, Henry Carpenter
now living near Brownell, kansae,
claims to be the first white boy
born in Audubon County. His half
brother William Carpenter was
married to Martha Johnston in
1855 and theirs was the first mar
rage certificate issued in Audubon
County.
Ruben Carpenter lived on the
place where he first located about a
year, then sold out to Harry Bowen
and located again about four miles
northeast of there on the Trouble
come Creek, where he lived the rest
of his life which ended March 4,
1876 His wife died in December,
1878. A large family of children
survive them.
Amerst Heath and family came to
Audubon comfy in June 1855 and
settled near Oakfeld. He was killed
in a we'll in 1863 His wife afterward
married David B. Beers of Brayton.
She died Jan 8, 1901. There was a
large family of the Heath children,
and one daughter, Rosea married
Henry Carpenter in 1873. About the
first of October 1878, Henry Carpen-
ter and family left Audubon county
and located in Rocks county, Kan.
and in the spring of 1886 left there
and came to Ness county and set
tied near Brownell, where they have
since resided. They have a large
family of children, some of them
married and living in different
parts of Kansas. / am the wife of
the eldest son and write this by re-
quest of his parents.
Yours Very Truly

The sequoia is the tallest tree in
the whole United States. In the
northwest of California there is
mighty continuous forest Of these
trees so great that it takes days to
travel from end to end of it for it is
longer than the distance from Bos-
ton to New York or from Chicago to
st. Louis. The trees grow to rs
feet in diameter and tower 400 feet
toward the sky. The redwood of
California is the great tree of the
Pacific coast. In the northern half
of California it grows in a continu.
Gus belt from ten to thirty five miles
wide. South of that it grows in iso-
lated patches.
