Land Office, who with Mrs. Burke
has been on a trip through the north
west, has returned home. They
have been away a month and during
the time have visited several cities
and many points of interest, among
the cities being Seattle and Tacoma.
They enjoyed the trip very much, but
in all the country visited did not see
any that beat the valleys running in
to the Black Hills. He visited sew
eral fruit ranches conducted sue
cessfully at higher altitude than
here. They are conducted scientif-
cally, pipes being laid and artificial
heat furnished when the tempera-
ture gets too low to be beneficial to
the fruit. He thinks the same
methods in vogue here would make
this as good a fruit country as Col
orado.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Ryan will de-

where they will spend the winter.
An armless man has been giving

terity. He has no hands to manipu-
late with, but he 'gets there with
both feet"
