 The writer visited Fairview last Saturday and found lively town. On the north side of the track is Fairview where Kenneth Hughes has about thirty six men at work shearing sheep by hand. MT. and Mrs. Joe Hunter have charge of the culinary depart ment, and Jack the Collie has full charge of the sheep and makes them stand around. Several tents have been erected and the  place looks like a thriving camp. On the sonth side of the track is Larsonville where there are about forty men employed in cutting timber and hauling post. A village store is in charge of J. Van Zee, he sure treated the writer fine, letting us help our selves to the good things in the store which we did. MT. Shonce entertained with selections on the new Victrola just purchased by MT. Larson. We enjoyed a fine dinner cooked by the new cook, Felix Bohenke. The writer had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Kenneth Hughes who rode down from Williams and joined us at Larsonville. Colin Campbell was also visitor having drove up(in a buggy. He states the roads were bad and also very little feed in that Section. We hope to visit the place again as the Larson Boys are fine entertainers.
