Buys Several Yards

The Melham Bros. Lumber company
of this city has recently taken over
by purchase from the Imperial Lum-
Der Co., of Minneapolis, the latter's
yards in the following towns: Airing
ton, CrandalI, Brentford and Florence,
and from A. E. Whitney the yard at

ed by the Melham Lumber company.
Mr.. Walter F. Miller who has been
auditor for the Imperial Lumber Co.
has resigned his position with that
company and has accepted the same
position with the Melham Lumber Co.
Mr.. Miller is probably n of the best
and most reliable accountants and
auditors in the state today. and the
Melham people are assuredly fortu.

vices. His headquarters, of course
will continue to be in Watertown.

Till her dear old eyes wud ache,
But old dad, he bumped to feed us E
Till his back wud nearly break.

Gave devotion all she had;
Still it wasn't any circus
AT this time for poor old Dad!

But if there's a word for father
Now and then it won't be wrong.

Rains of Past Few
Days Great Benefit

The Saturday News Is blowing no
hot air into the cool atmosphere when
1t remarks that the rains of the past
two weeks have certainly been the
finest that have fallen in this country
for several years. Altogether, prob
ably four or five inches of water have
been precipitated, and the wonderful
advantage over some years has been
that the rain came so gently and
gradually that it has all gone right
down into the soil. 1t has also been
very general, covering almost all the
entire northwest, so that the whole
country is soaked down in good shape
In this connection we wish to repro.
duce a letter of general information
written by Mr.. Stokes, the man who
more than most of us, watches the
weather conditions relative to crop
prospects:
Gentlemen: Since writing you last
we have had very heavy general rains
throughout the whole northwest, and
the western sections which have had
more or less trouble from drought
the past three or four years,
had a precipitation of moisture
of something like three inches.
Prior to this, the surface was in
excellent condition to receive the
seed, from the late SHOWS and early
rains as indicated in my previous
letter, but now the sub-soil is thor.
oughly saturated. There had already
been a good acreage planted but the
heavy rains that hace saturated the
sub-soil, will encourage everyone to
put in the largest acreage possible.
According to all past presidents the
cycle OF dry seasons is now at an end,
which practically insures a cycle of
wet and prosperous seasons for sew
eral years to come.
The western portions of the great
have taken on a spirit of
OPTIMISM which is very gratifying
Very truly yours,
w. III Stokes.
