Sidney Bloom this week makes
application to prove up on his land
near town. He was one of the late
corners to the tract, but is making
up for the late coming by excep-
tional industry.
c. H. Fitch is this week making
application for final proof on his
land near town. He has one of the
best improved places on the tract,
a farm that might well take the eye
OF any land fancier from anywhere.
A travelling c%oncertist, colored,
accompanied by a lady oil the same
persuasion, visited Rlchfield the last
of last week. They sang the songs
OF the sons of Ham with e%xtraordin-
airy vigor and a considerable meas
ure of musical and financial success.
Several nominating petitions for
county offices have been SEN to this
be few candidates who secure their
place for circulation. There seem to
OF money, most of them prefering
to make their appeals directly to
the people from whom they expect
to receive their vote.
The Recorder is having a perma-
nent porch or awning built acros
theentire front of the Recorder Of
flee building. 1t will be 60 feet long
and II feet wide, and should be an
adequate protection against rain sun
and all the usual varieties of local
weather.
A colony Of bees have made their
home in one of the big porch col
umns in the front of the new school
house, having gained access there
to through a convenient knot hole.
The school board has been figuring
on the best way to get rid of the
industrious but possibly dangerous
visitors.
The Crothers shoe store this week
comes before the public, seeking a
share of the local shoe business. Not
nearly all of the stock is in as yet,
but enough is here to warrant the
prediction tina it will eventually be
exceptionally complete. Shoes es-
pecialIy built for the western trade
will make up the bulk of the stock.
Rev. Williams has announced a
series of lectures on 1.-The Prodigal
Son" to be started at the Meth

attendance of Sunday nights has en- 6
the pastor to make an es-
pecia! effort to keep up the public
interest.
M. P. Johnson has sold his dairy
business to VIM. Strunk who took
charge Monday. Mr.. Johnson did :
well while running and furnished a :
good grade of milk but he was too t
from town to make the delivery c
twice a day. MI. Strunk has now
a good grade of milk eows and will d
be able to take care of the trade in
good shape.
r. j. Lennon returned Wednes-
day from a visit of IL days with his I,
parents at Seattle. He says that 1t !
was a delightful trip, the worst fea- !,
ture being the cold weather, which =
necesitated the keeping of a fire q
N the heating stove most of the q
LIme lie was there. He found his 6
parents in good healh-so good that -
hey are anticipating a visit to Ida n
40 seem time this season. .
Some excitement was caused the t
of the week by the appearance |
a long, black, villainous looking e
loud that by every rule of the al l;
and the arithmetic should Y
rain. But it wasn't true f
he weather went on it's accustomed t
yay with no real interruption. That
s one fine thing about the real arid F
.ountry-you know just what to ex- Il
)ect.
H. B. Jones of the Recorder on
Monday made final proof on his Ca
'ey Act claim nea town, and has
etired from the simple life for the
immediate present. In a very brief I,
pace of time he acquired a suffi- 4
lent reputation as an irrigator to l.
AIRY him through the present sea- c,
but with the dawn of another A
eason he promises to go after the W
International record for irrigating a 2
arge amount of good land with a r
ninimum of work, and on his fine o.
arm there is a good prospect for a tc
ew champion to be declared. al
