FREIGHT is PICKING UP

Business Rapidly Assuming
Normal Volume After
Lull of Several Months
Freight business has been
brisker than usual within the
past week or two. For a
month past there has been but
little freight of any description
moving in either direction, but
recently conditions have
changed for the better and
freight traffic is fast recovering
its normal volume. For the
most part the shipments are
from the west and consists
chiefly of grain, live stock and
green fruit. This territory, it
is stated by railroad men, has
enjoyed more business all
through the panic than has any
other section of the country
Nonpareil.

Happy Family Gathering

Yesterday being Grandpa
Ryan's 80th birthday anniver-
sary, children, grandchildren
and friends to the number of
sixty gathered at the Ryan
home in Boomer township, Pot
tawattamie county and gave
him a genuine surprise. There
were five daughters present,
as follows: Mrs. Mary Gil
more, Mrs. Ed. Wilson, Mrs.
Chas. Gilmore, and Misses Mar
geret and Stacia Ryan. Four
sons, b. B. Ryan of Nicola, Tim,
Jim, Mack Ryan of this vicinity.
These with the thirty-four
grand children made quite a
family gathering. Grandpa
Ryan was in his glory
and had a hearty hand shake
and a smile for everyone pre-
sent and especially enjoyed the
games and pleasures of the
small grandchildren. After
the usual amount of visiting the
guests sat down to one of the
most sumptuous dinners ever
served and this certainly was
one of the pleasant features of
the day. Mrs. Dick Ryan and
family and Mrs. Pat Ryan and
family, of Chicago, came
especially to enjoy the day.
Tuesday will be a day long to
be remembered by the vener-
able Grandpa Ryan and we
trust he may live to enjoy
more of these anniversaries.

Mo. Valley VS. CampanelIas
With six inches of water in
the out field and as much mud
lin the in field Mo. Valley and
the Campanellas played the
fastest game that has been seen
on the home diamond for sew
eral seasons.
Nicely started the game by
striking out the first man up
but the Campanellas took the
blow so hard that the next
man was given a base on balls;
the third man sacrificed and
the next two drew bases on
balls, filling the bases. Cook
then made sensational catch
of a long drive to right field,
which retired the side without
a score.
Pipher started the batting
for the Valley, but was thrown
out at first. Milliman looked
dangerous to the pitcher so he
hit him giving him his base.
Reed then sacrificed him to
second and from there he stole
third but was unable to score.
The next three innings were
fast and short, no one being
able to get past second. Mo.
Valley held the Campanellas
to first base in the fifth, but in
our half the fine works began.
Bertelson the first man flied
out, Pipher followed with a hit
but stuck in the mud in taking
a lead off first and was thrown
out. The next four N) men
hit out clean singles and Milf
man scored the first run, Cook
piled out. The sixth and
seventh were uneventful. In
THE eighth the Campanellas got
a man to first on the first error
'of the game and he went to
third on a wild throw and
scored on Kennedy's hit to left.
Nicely then lighted up and re-
tired the side by striking out
the next two men up. Mo.
Valley failed to score in their
half and held the Campanellas
without a run in the first half
of the ninth. By this time the
boys had had enough mud and
decided to get the winning
|score in their end of the ninth.
| Bertelson was the first man up
\ but was struck out. Pipher
was hit by the pitcher and had
to be assisted to first base by
This team mates but Milliman's
Sacrifice was medicine to his
wounds and he got to second
with amazing speed. Then
with two men out Reed lined
out a clean two Dagger to left
center and Pipher started for
home, the fielder recovered the
ball and made a nice
; throw to the plate but theil
catcher was tall and Pipher be.
ing short, slid under his arm
scoring the winning run.
The fielding was faultless

Welcome Wrestler


Fort Dodge, Ia, June IL
Greeted by the cheers of hum
dreds of his friends, Wednes-
day Frank Gotch stepped from
the train at his home town,
Humboldt, for the first time
since he won the world wrest-
ling championship belt. All
day Wednesday he was the
guest of honor at the biggest
celebration ever held by the
people of Humboldt which
5000 visitors attended. An au-
tomobile parade, two ball games
bowery dance, fireworks, open

ments were provided. Farmer
Burns, the man who "discover-
ed" Gotch nine years ago and
started him in the wrestling
game, assisted the world cham
pion in an exhibition wrestling
match.
Gotch intends to spend sever
al weeks at his home this sum-
m3r resting from his hard la
bors. Instead of making the
trip to England, he has accept
ed a Theatrical offer of $1,000

a wealthy man. He recently
wrote a nephew in this city
saying he was receiving $4,000
weekly from the moving pict.

Weather=Crop Bulletin

Des Moines, Iowa, June 8,
1908 The fore part of the
week was cool and cloudy, with
scattered light showers; the
latter part gave an excess of
temperature and precipitation
over the larger part of the
state. 1t was, however, the
most favorable week we have
had for farm work since the
first of May. Showers were
frequent, but the rainfall was
light previous to Friday night,
and farmers were in the fields
from three to four days, during
which time planting, replant-
ing and cultivating corn was
vigorously pushed. Corn plant
ing is practically finished in
high and we'll drained fields,
but much of the low land is
still covered with water, and
many fields will be used for
later crops. The early planted
corn shows an exceptionally
good stand, and is generally in
good condition except that the
weeds are getting rank and
will have to be subdued at an
early date or there will be a
rapid decline in condition.
Small grain, grass and clover
have continued to make very
rank growth, altho it was
checked somewhat by the cold
weather during the fore part Of
the week. Oats and wheat in
southern counties are reported
as beginning to show a few
heads. Garden truck is ex-
ceptlonly thrifty, and tree
fruits and berries are in better
condition than was thought
possible after the frost early in
May. Severe and destructive
wind storms are reported in
this mornings press dispatches
as having occurred Sunday af-
ternoon in Floyd and Linn
counties. Geo. M. Chapel,
Section Director.

An Old Reminder.

In talking with Mrs. Henry
Hargens, who with her husband,
lived on their farm west of the
city, during those memorable
cold-wet years, related the fol-
lowing incident, that will indi-
cate the kind of weather we
enjoyed here some twenty eight
years ago. She related the fol-
lowing history: Gin 1880 we
raised a magnificent crop of
corn, but owing to the early and
heavy snow during that fall and
winter we were unable to gath
er the crop and consequently it
remained in the field all winter,
and in the early spring came
high water, covering the ground
with from a to 6 inches of wa
ter, and to save the corn in the
field, Mr.. Hargen rugged up a
two wheeled vehicle, with a box
and proceeded to gather the
corn raised the year before, and
had been exposed to rain and
snow all winter. The corn was
shelled and shipped to Chicago,
and sold on the market as A No.
] grain bringing the top price.
In the Spring of 1881, one
could take a boat at the NV,
depot platform and float. with
out interruption, down to Coun-
Gil Bluffs.
That was before the day of
bitches, and those who lived
here then will never forget the
winter of 188O-S1.

Change Of Firm.

On the first of the month B. L..
Van Vechten sold his one-half in
terest in the b. l.. Van Vechten
Hardware Co. to ID. Edgar New
comb, E. j. Murphy retaining his
interest as heretofore. The firm
will now be known as the Murphy
Newcomb Hardware Co.
Mr.. Van Vechten has been in
the hardware trade in La Jara
for the past eight years and during
that time has built up substan.
tial and lucrative business. As
president of the State Bank of La
.Jara, however, the ever increasing
demand made upon his time by
that institution has influenced him
to retire from the hardware store
and devote his entire time and
attention in the future to the
welfare of the bank
Mr.. Murphy has been with the
firm during the greater part of its
existence and for a year or more
past has been its manager.
Mr.. Newcomb is the son of one
of the pioneers of this section and
since his graduation has been
associated with his father in the
real estate. insurance and law
business, which he now leaves to
devote his active interest to the
new firm.
The firm carries all kinds of
shelf and heavy hardware, farm
implements, harness, etc, and in
the near future will add a splendid
line of wagons and buggies as well
as one of the handsomest assort-
ments of furniture and household
goods to be found in southern
Colorado. That they will meet
with signal success is assured and
The Chronicle extends the glad
hand
