Andrew Wicklander spent Sat
urday in town shopping. A num-
Der Of farmers who live near the
sidetrack, Roosevelt, will get
coal from the Bituminia mine in
car load lots. It is cheaper for
them then to haul direct from
the mine. Mr.. Wicklander re-
called the time the farmers had
two years ago getting coal from
this mine. Several of them left
home one morning at four o'clock
and expected to be the first ones
to reach the mine. There were
fifteen ahead Of them and it
took all day before their turn
came. No such waits have to be
made now since the new ma
chinery has been installed.
Over twenty applications have
been made to the register Of deed
for recording Of farm names.
Only two certificates have been
issued to date. They were to
Geo. l.. Robinson. and n. W.
Solenberger. The 1000 acres
farm owned by Mr.. Robinson will
be known as 1.-The Wolf Greek
Stock Farm" The Solenberger
half section near Underwood has
been named "Woodside." Certi-
ficates will be issued to others
as soon as the proper blanks
have been filled out. 1t only
cost one dollar to have the farm
name recorded. In Ward county
300 names have been recorded.
If the people of Wilton came to
Washbuln as often as the people
Of Washburn go there they would
fix up the roads. SC an auto driv.
er would feel safe in making the
trip. Besides the blowing that
was mentioned a couple of weeks
ago, there are rocks right in the
middle of the road, autos would
have to have a clt arance as high
as a lumber wagon before they
would be able to keep in the
trail. Then too there are ruts
that could be filled in a short
time that would make the roads
more passable. This may be work
for the county commissioners to
look after but some of it could be
done by auto owners like it was
done here.
