r. F. Wiglesworth, of Galloway
was a pleasant caller at this offic'
on Saturday. Abundant rains have
shortened up the faces of the But
ter creek residents and they are
now looking forward to plentiful
harvests OF hay and grain; the
range is greatly improved, also
Mr.. Wigleswortb states that while
the late frosts certainly did some
damage to the fruit crop on Che
creek, yet it is not so bad as was
first thought and they will have a
fairly good crop of all kinds OF
fruits, including apricots and
peaches.
M. A. Bates was down from
Hardman on Friday, remaining
over until Saturday, as it was too
wet to tackle the journey home.
He is now on his eighty acre farm
west of Hardman, and will demon
strate to our people the practicable
ity of making success with the
small farm by diyerBifying. Mr..
Bates Is a strong believer in this
idea and thinks that the future Of
our county as a farming section
depends on The cutting up Of large
tracts of land and doing farming
on the intensified plan. When this
is done we viii certainly prosper.
The Palace hotel team took a
lively spin up town from the depot
yesterday morning. They evident
ly were frightened at something
about the circus tents, but as is
their usual custom, they kept well
to the middle Of the street, and
landed up astride Of a telephone
pole at the corner of the Star hotel.
All efforts to head them off as they
came up the street failed, and they
made straight for the Star, where
they put up, and Jeff Neal feels
quite oomplimented.
The Newt Milestone shear ;ng
plant is now running full blast,
barring some layofs on account of
rain. Sheep are shearing well this
spring in this locality, the clips all
being of a high standard. Wool is
now coming to the warehouses in
Heppner from the nearby shear
ing plants and it is expected that
most of the Morrow county clip
will be in the houses by the time
of the first wool sales which is June
End.
W. T. Campbell was up from
Social Ridge on Friday, wearing
smile that means something. A
good soaking rain out his way is
the cause, and Billy looks for
successful harvest. Fact is, the
fall sown grain was not suffering
SO much for moisture as it was in
need of warm weather, but these
rains are certainly the proper thing
for the Spring sowing, of which
there is considerable this season.
From May 16 to 20 Prof. Wulf,
