seen anything in your valuable
paper about our part of Big Elk 1
thought l would give you a few
items to let you know that we are
still on the map, all right side up
with care.
The dry weather cut our hay crop
little bit short, then we got it cut
Just in time to get all the rain.
That hurt some. But we don't
care for that for the good that it
did to the grain and the gardens
was 50 much more that the loss was
not to be considered. The grain
and gardens are looking fine where
they havn't been afraid to wear out
the hoe and cultivator.
| said in the start that / wanted
people to know that we were on the
map. Well now l guess they know
for the third land deal was closed a
few days ago when Joe Stevens sold
out to man for 81 ,300.75; Ross
Carmichel short time before sold
to George Ridenour for $1,000 and
a short time before the Davis sold
for 81 800. Now then, let me tell
you that We scribe is getting a little
scared lest he may be tempted.
But never mind that, just >send
along the men with dough and to
those who want to leave good old
Big Elk we will give them a good
swift kick aud let them go, and
then they will see where they have
missed the mark in a few years
when we have electric lines running
down Big Elk taking off the pro-
duct of our farms, such as cream,
butter, cheese, eggs, chickens,
| honey, fruits, berries and other
things too numerous to mention.
Their lands will be worth $3.50 to
5000 pr acre and very little selling
at that as people will be making
an easy living and enjoying life
among the mountains and the sea
breezes and the pure water.
Dudley Hadden, formerly of this
county has been visiting at B. F.
| Grants. He and Tom Kelley have
gone to Fall Creek to visit A. j.
Oglesby. They used to be old
neighbors on Little Elk.
The Big Elk and Little Elk boys
are going to play game of ball on
the Big Elk diamond next Sunday.
Look out boys. You wouldn't like
to get skinned. l will try and be
there and yell for you.
Hurrah for the County Fair !
Bring your exhibits for know
there are plenty of them in Lincoln
county. B. F. Grant is saving up
his samples of grasses and grains,
ranging from 10 feet, Al inches
down to two feet. He says. he
don't think he can send his big
mangles and potatoes down on the
launch Ethel, but will have to
freight them down by team. But
he will be there with the goods just
the same. Everyone wants to see
if they can't beat him. Anyway,
l think he is just bluffing.

GAIN IN PRICES
IN STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, June 2e.-Such expansion
of activity and interest occurred In the
DAYS stock market was traceable to the
dealings in the industrial group AID IN
number of specialties. The growth OF
activity came from the buying side of
the market and a substantial gain in
prices resulted. From among the stocks
of an obscure class the demand issued
into the better known industriais and
with later and more pronounced effect in
United States Steel.
Reading, which was practically the only
prominent stock which rose yesterday, was
held back. The May statement of Read
ing earnings showed some falling OF IN
surplus compared with the same month
last year. but the action of the stock was
attributed rather TO the effect of profit
taking than any positive depression
caused by the figures.
American Sugar was prompt to re-
spond favorably TO the published reports
that the statute Of limitation might
operate as a bar to the proposed criminal
prosecution by the federal authorities for
the acts disclosed in the Pennsylvania
companys litigation.
The smelling and refining group WIS., f-
fected first in the copper and smelling
sections.
Reports of lettering conditions in the
lead market in consequence of the working
down of stocks on hand, the resulting
prospects of a rise in the price, were an
influence in this movement. The copper
stocks shared in the strength caused by
the lead advices, although immediate re-
ports from the copper trade were less
satisfactory and prices of the metal de-
clined on the London market.
There was current again in the stock
exchange district an oft prevalent rumor
of a proposed combination of large
number of companies outside of the
United States steel corporation which are
concerned with the iron and steel indus
tries. The recurrence of this rumor had
the effect of advancing the price of
United States Steel.
United States Steel preferred shared in
the strength of the common stock.
The variety of the demand for bonds
was taken to show some reinvestment in
anticipation of July distribution of profits.
Total sales (par value), $5,46e,ooo.
United States bonds We're unchanged on
call.
