Good Wheat Raised Without Water.

From Price Newman it was recently
learned that the dry farm wheat crop
on the Newman Bros. Carey 400 acre
ranch 71a miles south of Shoshone was
estimated to yield an average of 20
bushels per acre the present season.
The crop was cut for hay, but Mr..
Newman thinks there it no doubt that
if the crop had been allowed to fully
mature that it would have threshed out
20 bushels per acre and that without
drop of water for irrigation. The land
was plowed the fall before but the
seeding was done in the spring. The
entire 400 acres will be irrigated next
season and all seeded to alfalfa for
stock feed.

The formal opening at the Stock
growers mercantile emporium on We'd
nesday was a most successful and elab-
crate affair.
A complete and through reorganiza-
tion of the internal arrangements of
the establishment has been made with
out regard to labor or expense, the OBJ
jects being to make the fullest and best
possible display of goods, to system
atize all departments and harmonize
them for the purpose of economizing
future labor, and to place the business
on the most modern and up to date
standing passible.
The show window display, arranged
by Manager J. L. Beckett and w. H.
Henderson was very attractive and
artistic, and the entire establishment
bore evidence of a presiding genius
capable of combining the decorative
and utility features to good advantage
The free refreshment counter was
presided over by a noted colored chef,
and Prof. Sigmond's orchestra regaled
the crowd with choice selections in the
evening.
The opening will linger as pleasant
memory in the minds of those who at
tended.

BUFFALO BILL AND PAWNEE BILL
Will Bring Their Combined Wild West

mington, DEL, June 4th.

Will Bring Their Combined Wild West
and Far East Exhibition to VIII
mington, DEL, June 4th.
An event of unusual interest to
people in this vicinity will be the en-
gagement of Buffalo Bill's Wild West
and Pawnee Bill's Far East as noted
in the above headlines. Varied and
wonderful will be the several spec
tacular scenes and the the entire ex-
hibitiOn will take on an educational
and historic character, which gives
it an interest possessed by no other
tented exhibition. An Oriental
spectacle of gorgeous splendors will
be interpreted by groups and delega-
tions from the far East, introducing
Rossi's Musical Elephants as the par
ticular feature of the Oriental scene.
The Battle of Summit Springs a re-
production of the historic Indian
conflict in which Buffalo Bill kills
Chief Tall Bull of the Dog Soldiers,
will be the principal Wild West Scene,
participated in by Col. VIM. F. Cody
the original and only Buffalo Bill,
who will re-enact the original part.
The Great Train HOld-Up by Indians
will picture an early epoch in rail-
road building, and A Holiday at ct
E' Ranch will typify the pleasures
and pastimes of the plainsmen. Every
item in the program of the Wild West
and Far East is real and authentic.
The cavalry charges, artillery drills,
war dances, roughriding, and Oriental
pageants are real and accurate in every
detail. The tepees of the Indians
are the real prairie homes of the red
men: the trappings of the ponies, the
camp outfits, and every stick and
stitch of the equipment is just what
it is represented to be. And the fea-
ture of features will be the appearance
in the saddle, at every performance,
of the rear and genuine Buffalo Bill,
the last of the great scouts. Arrange
ments have been made with the rail-
road officials to run special excursions
and reduced round-trip rates, so that
everybody who so desires may take
Advantage of their opportunity to visit
tbs world-renowned exhibition.

a young farmer residing on the
Marvin Bay Meadows farm, broke up
Children's Day rehearsal at st.
Jones on Saturday and alarmed the
town of Little Creek when he was
hurried there to be attended by DR..
Evans. There had been an afternoon
picnic at COmegy's Free Library and
the thrifty farmers of the neighbor-
hood had brought fruits, ice cream,
deviled crabs, peanuts and a general
excess of things. Young Mr.. Moore
and others ate heartily because it was
given out that something had to be
done with the extra large supply of
refreshments. When the attack
seized him in church he and began
to rave like a madman, the women
took to their heels and the men,
though losing no time to get him to
the doctor, were badly ratified.
