 MT. James Cunningham, who has fine place about five miles south of Elgin. has planted an orchard of 220 trees consisting of apple, peach and plum trees.
 MT. and Mrs. Leonard Klene from St. Louis, Mo-, have arrived in the Elgin region recently, and located upon their homestead entry about four miles south from Elgin.

 It is reported that a post office has been established at Sonoita with Mrs. Clara Hummel as post master. About two years ago steps were taken to establish an office al that place, and Mrs. John Mapes was appointed postmaster; bu before she qualified the lady moved away, and the matter was in abey ance for months. The many settlers locating in the vicinity made sucE an office necessity, but there wal close enough to the station tC make it convenient to care for th' mails no one who could or would take the trouble. Last fall Mrs Hummel located on quarter sec ton of government land near tn, station, and when the proposition was submitted to her she said tn, would take the post office as soor after taking up her residence as sh' could arrange to handle the busi ness. That she has done, and nov the settlers, who have had to ge their mail at Elgin or Greaterville , will find the new arrangemen much more convenient.
