illness last week.
An adobe mill has been erected
to make adobes for a new school

Snowflake Militia Company. He
will there join his comrades in
the Military Encampment.
Lots of nice refreshing rain
lately. Grateful for it too after
such a long dry spell. The grass
has already started to shoot up,
the sight of which makes the
dairymen smile, not to say any
thing of the "dairy-cows.''
Parties going on a fishing trip
to Whiteriver pass by here every
day. 1t is reported that the fish
are very scarce. No wonder.
Think of the thousands that go
there to spend the summer. But
never mind, folks, you wont have
to go so far for a trout next sum-
mer. This lake here is already
well stocked with the best rain
bow trout. Next summer we will
be allowed to fish during one sea-
son. A big attraction, is it not?
We were honored with the
presence of Alof P. Larson and
James M. Flake Counselors to
the Stake President and their
wives at our first Ward Confer
ence held last Sunday. After
enjoying a good spiritual feast,
the visitors with a few of the
hosts of friends were the guests
of Mr.. and Mrs. S. E. West at a
nicely prepared supper. After
very enjoyable time there, the
merry party was entertained at
Mr.. and Mrs. Hans Hansen's in
their open, green-leafed bow
ery." Refreshments were next
served, consisting of ice cream,
cake and beer-Mrs. Peterson's
best home made beer. Every
one had a real good time and we
hope the visitors will want to

Will Flake was a business Wis
itor here last week. He came in
quest of a woman that had been
missing from the Flake home for
ten days. Will did not find her
here, and returned next day.
Generally, Will is not bad looking,
but he looked bad the morning
he left here last.
We have had several electric
storms, during the past several
days, that were enough to ava
ken the dead. We do not know
much about electricity, and fur
thermore, no one seems anxious
to specialize along that line, when
we see how it toys with the pine
tress around here. Had there
been an electrician with a supply
of empty syrup cans he might
have canned" enough spark

but for the use of future genera
tions.
The Fourth of July was not
forgotten by the people of Yer
non. They spent the day at
Harris Cave which is back in the
mountains about six miles south
east of Vernon. This is an un-
der-ground cave. 1t is situated
in a pine fiat. The entrance is
a small hole just large enough for
a person to crawl through feet
first. Then one has to crawl on
hands and knees for a few yards,
when it opens up SO that you can
walk upright. The walls are
very rugged. In some places,
they are from twenty to twenty
five feet high; in other places,
they are so low that one has to
crawl on his hands and knees.
1t is from four hundred to six
hundred yards long, and very
dark. Not ray of light shines
in anywhere.
At some time in the remote
past, people dwelt in this cave.
1t was discovered by William
Harris about twenty-five years
ago. 1t contained several hun
dred fine specimens of pottery in
state of good preservation, sit
ting around a large bed of ashes.
Some of them contained the hulls
of seeds. He disposed of the
pottery at something like $3.50. 90.
