The timothy fields in the east
end OF the valley are reported to
be badly affected with rust, which
1t is expected will cause a loss in
the hay crop in that section.
Reiniger Bros. have opened a
branch store ct Echo beach, Twin
lakes for accommodation of the
summer trade there. Miss Clarice
Quarles will have charge.
Attention has been called to the
noxious weeds growing about the
strsets, alleys and vacant lots.
These include burdock and thistles
and it is suggested they should be
cut down before they ripen.
After several days Of warm
weather rain began falling We'd

benefcialto growing crops but is
delaying the work Of putting in

tank at this place was raised about
a foot last week in order to adjust
1t to the big locomotives being

that enough water has been going

the summer shortage has been due
to these leaks.
