American Ridge Items

We have been under the impress
ion for about three or four years
that we had herd law on this ridge,
but from the number of horses and
cattle that are now running on the
public highway, we have come to
the conclusion that we are mistaken.
Last week we counted four mail
boxes on the ridge broken down by
stock rubbing against them, if we
have a herd law Rambler would like
to see it enforced.
Mr.. Editor, we have one man on
this ridge who believes in getting
all the enjoyment out of life there
is in it, last week your correspond
ent saw this gentleman in the field
at work with four horses hitched to
clod smasher while this man was
sitting in a rocking chair which he
had tied on his drag, also he had an
umbrella hoisted over him to keep
the heat of the sun off and the way
he mashed clods was not slow.
If this ridge had few more such
public spirited citizens as Fred and
Byard Davidson, Walter Bigham and
Wade Keene, we would have good
roads whether we had any money
or not. These young men have kept
the road in fine condition, taking
turn about.
We understand that Lafette Keene,
wife and daughter Miss Elsie will
soon move to Moscow to make their
future home, while Waid will run the
ranch. We are sorry to loose them
from our ridge. We think Mr.. Keene
and family are among the best
people on this ridge, while Miss
Elsie will be greatly missed by the
young people and especially by her
Sunday school class.
We believe there will be fully l.,
900 acres of beans planted on thi:
ridge this spring.
