farmers on the Excelsior ranch
and has in big crop of oats, peas,
and wheat this year, about 135
acres, which is looking very good.

the labor required to brush new
land and get it into condition to
raise a crop.
The young son of w. S. Mount
was quite badly burned Sunday
morning. Some rags saturated
with coal oil, used to clean IA gun,
were thrown into the kitchen stove
where they smouldered until the
boy raised the lid to start fire.
AS he raised the lid the gases
inside the stove exploded blowing
the flames into his face. The
worst burns are around the eyes
but it is thought no permanent
injury will result.
The dedication of the new M. E.
church at Bowen last Sunday was
attended by a large crowd, about
800 people being present from

debt. AT the opening of the morn
ing service they were about 5000
short of the $1,000 necessary to
clear all Indebtedness on building
and furnishings. Fifty dollars
over the required amount was sub
