PICNIC NOTES
IL will be noticed that Dell
Dibble's and DR.. Griffith's names
do not appear in the published
lists of high scores. They shot
as often as did their competitors.
Judge Rector, who set out and
nursed the trees now making
the shady groves, was present.
got away with his share Of spring
chicken, and enjoyed himself in
his usual quiet manner.
] More than q dozen kodaks kept
clicking away, and old man Heck
was there with his big shooter
and secured some fine views.
Harney County has more than
six millions of acres, is l40 miles
long and 80 miles wide, and pra-
ctically one-tenth of its entire
population was at the picnic.
SO automobiles and 40 horse
rigs in line. That the Ford is a
popular Harney county vehicle
was shown by the fact that IL
cars of that make were on the
grounds.
There certainly was a heavy
onslaught on the spring chicken
crop. Chicken raisers had better
check up their coops for q lot Of
fellows had plenty that day that
don't raise EN-.
Farmers from different parts
of the county were overheard
comparing notes and relating
crop experiences, "a good habit.
The height of boyish devilment
is certainly reached when tacks
are set up in rows on bridges
which must be crossed by auto
mobiles.
1t looks like Sheriff Richardson
would continue to put the scare
into the evil doer by his recent
shooting records.
Will French, the popular Boise
grocery-salesman was there all
the time He pressed his auto
into service and took out 13I
passengers and Dell Dibble.
Some of the fair occupants in
timated that they were pressed
also. Some ankles were mosqui-
to bitten when they had to let
their feet hang over.
Maurice Schwartz presided
with all the grace and dignity Of
a regular floor manager.
Some of our prominent citizens
circulated among the crowd shak-
ing hands and chucking babies
under the chin all same as II
there was q political campaign
in sight. These included our
genial friend Jim Mahon of
Anderson Valley.
II. H. Hendricks and family
Of Fossile. ioined in the enjoy
ments Of the day.
What fine roads we could have
in the Harvey Valley with just a |
little work done at the right time. |
a trip with q good road drag
after each summer rain would
do the business.
A well supplied stand did a
rushing business and helped de-
fray the slight necessary ex-
penses.
