weeks, is slowly convalescing.

c. B. Noyes' new poultry fence is a
dandy. No more losses by coyotes.
Go We with chickens and do likewise.
The ball team gave a dance at the
home of F. D.. Hershberger last Friday
which yielded quite a comfortable
sum.
All members are earnestly request

jured about the face and head one
day last week by falling down a shaft
which he was sinking.

bernating in British Columbia through
the winter, has returned and will put
in crop on his homestead.
Considerable interest is being taken
in the proceedings of a mining COM
pany contesting homesteader To-
Gated at the foot of the hill, on the
river.
Winter wheat is one hudred per
cent. to the good Great winter. The
Oldest inhabitants say that the ground
is now in the best shape for planting
they have ever seen it.
Apprehension is felt for Otis Hersh-
berger, who was to return from an
eastern visit about April /, and who
may have been caught in the high
water that has deluged much of the
middle east
Rev. Robert Thompson and wife,
after an absence of nearly four years,
returned Thursday, April 10. and gave
a moving picture service at the school
house to small audience. Verify the
world do move.
Otis Hershberger has at last been
heard from, and the anxiety of his
many friends relieved by the informa-
ton that he is marooned at Philadel-
phia, and will return as soon as trans
portation is open.
We have sent money and a request
to the State Grange to send farmer,

Italy, to study foreign methods of

Work having started on the road
from here to Oroville its early COM

we want to establish the rural free
delivery mail route before fall. Are
you on Mr.. Superintendent?
Ellemeham ball players are prepar-
ing to provide little fun for the fans
on the hill this summer. Some of the
boys start in showing great class. We
may hear of their landing in the ma
tional league before the season Is
over.
Rev. Robt. Thompson, assisted by
Mrs. Thompson and Miss C. c. Nc
lntosch, held services in the school
house Sunday evening, enlivened by
a stereoptican display of last quarters
Sunday school lessons. Miss McIn-
tosch, who is a charming vocalist,
rendered several songs during the ex-
hibition of pictures. Owing to there
being considerable sickness in the
neighbOrhOod there was not very
large attendance. Arrangements were
made by Rev. Thompson to hold a
series of meetings about May IL.
