 Bob Tyer and Abe Hester went to Newport "to have little dental work done", and were gone so long that we suspect them to have been detained awhile in the lock-up. Of course, we don't acuse them of any thing irregular and can't prove any thing, but are not fully satisfied with their explanation.

are among the big and prosperous
farmers and stockmen OF the Ro1d

excellent prospects for a fine wheat
crop this year. Both ara mighty tipe
boys and well known in this oOmMunr
ity, and their many friends here are
glad to know that they have been
prospecting and hope that they may
so continue, Both have been having
little misfortune lately with illness
in the family, Mrs. John Compton
having undergone very severe oper.
alton at the hospital some few days
ago, and the six year old son Of Lee
and wife suffered a bad attack Of .ap-
pendicitis the last Of the week and
was forced to undergo an operation.
The little fellows condition was very
critical for a time, but both Ot the
patients are getting along in fine
shape now.

Of interest had been manifested in
the project in the EllinwOOd vicinity,
one farmer who lives fourteen tailes
southwest of that place telling him
that If the plant was established he
and one Of his neighbors were going
TO put up silos and go into the daig
business. The EllinwOOd Commercial
Club will have a special meeting this
week and win appoint committees to
canvas the territory the same as uas
done here, and as soon as this work
is completed they will report to the
club here Just how many cows can Be
eIpacted from that vicinity.
. There is no question now but the
number of COWS called for by the cen.
densary companies can be secuned.
The thing for everybody to do Rw
Is to boost for the project so that
when a representative d one Of the
companies. comes here, as they will
in short time, they viii see that
the whole community is back u the
enterprise and is ready to give. them
the glad hand and push the project
so that it will be a big success nom
the start. Just boost, that's all.
