Everyone in the lower valley is uI
in arms over the prospect of having
the ferry moved to the O-W. bridge
They feel that the logical place for the
ferry is between Hover and Alfalfa.
and declare that the cost would be less
and the benefits far greater than if
placed at the O-W. bridge. If the
road is ever improved to Hover, and
there is no road in the county that
needs it worse or deserves it more,
the ferry could be installed at Hover,
they maintain, at no additional cost
to the county, while if installed at the
O-W. bridge, the tax payers will have
a big bill to face. Why, they ask,
should the ferry be installed at a
point where nothing but sand and
sage brush line the banks for miles,
when it could be installed with less
expense between two thriving towns,
without sacrificing the convenience of
anyone? The question is pertinent.
The members of the Live Wires and
the Grange are mourning the loss of
the Kraber Brothers, who moved to
Spokane county last week. They were
among the most progressive citizens
of this neighborhood, and many is the
time that the members Of each organ
ization have been stirred into action
by a few hot shots from Brother
George. We appreciate the work they
did while with us, and wish them the
best of success in their new field.
The Finley Grange is to hold their
annual election of officers next Sat-
urday, the 9th. Some of the old
timers predict lively session. The
date is to be set when General Joffre
Kraber's defeated forces in the men,
bership contest will treat the victors
to supper which Bob Perkins says
will be a belt-stretcher. The new
members will be present and get ac-
quainted. We are on the winning side
and are greatly relieved to learn that
the ladies are to be invited, for we
had not much confidence in the culin-
airy abilities Of the defeated side.
Everyone's talking about the play
given by the Central Valley club Mon
day night. Not only the play, but the
music was the best we've heard for
many long month. The actors, whose
identity we discovered last week, full
ly lived up to their regulations, and
in addition to the play, the boys or
under the leadership of Roy
Cox, made a decided hit with their
medley of old time songs. We have
\ good orchestra down here, and we're
proud Of them, too.
Harold Schnell spoke very well, too.
Perhaps the biggest surprise Of the
evening was the performance of the
Finley Meddlesome club represented
~ Rox Cox, Lester Cox, Roland Bar.
on, Francis Cole, Howard Paul and
Mr. Robertson. The Tailor's song from
Robin Hood called forth applause that
nearly wrecked the building. When
here is so much real talent in the
we can't see why ev-

Up such entertainments oftener.
