ARTHUR DAVIS ENTERTAINs.

II you were to be told that small
matter like two men getting up at
three In the morning to meet the 3:35
passenger train for tho purpose Of
escorting four OF the exclusive four
hundred of cattle society to Vita Oque
ranch had anything to do with the fu-
ture history OF Power county or that
this seemingly Insignificant circum-
stance were to change the entire busl-
ness and farm life OF this section of
the state-why. you'd laugh-just as
the little boy laughed when he was
the passenger train. Yes, they all
laughed. The little boy laughed: SO
did the little girl The Misses Hazel
wood Aggie Ormsby. Riverview
Bracelet Gerben and Hazelwood Orms-
by Mechthilde Posch laughed. Which
was all perfectly natural and polite
and which made us all laugh because
we were glad they had arrived. But
they laughed because they looked at
each other and behel6 what ridiculous
holy hour Of the night. There they
were cooped up In uncomfortable
crates, perched on light trucks, just
as SO many chickens might have been.
or course. they told each other. they
were travelling In state and that all
this was necessary since they were Of
the nobility and much titled Holsteins.
Still they laughed most OF all when
they observed that they had escaped
from that horrid old shaky train and
that the ignorant, abusive thing was
going on without them. How they
hated travelling anyway, All but
Hazelwood Alban King laughed. He
preserved that dignifed silence so al
together becoming OF the future mon-
arch OF Vita Oque ranch.
Well, too, there was Mr.. Mills who
didn't laugh. He just caught his
breath and let his jaw drop and final
ly mustered courage enough to meek
ly ask what II all meant and II 1t was
really true that they came all the
way from Spokane. Upon being as
sured that they were pure-bred Hol-
stelns out OF the famous John l..
Smith herd OF Hazelwood Farms, Spo-
kane, Mr.. Mills remarked that he had
never seen cattle shipped that way be-
fore and to please excuse him II he
seemed frustrated and looked little
nale. Not only that but he proceed
| cd TO help. He robbed himself OF all
the available cord he had and finally
they were unloaded and Arthur Davis
escorted them 10 their new home.
Yes, that Is the way they came to
our town--lilse thieves In the night
only they are not. They are four OF
the finest Holstcln-Freisans In the
world. They have the blood OF the
prize wining herd OF the world In their
veins, these decendants OF the worlds
record breaking producers OF milk.
And II is all to the credit OF n certain
Mr.. Arthur Davis that he has tho
good judgment TO start right In the
dairy business. He In fixing up an
ideal and sanitary dairy ranch. His
producers will not only yield lots Of
nice, rich milk but also pure milk.
How do we know this? Because they
; are tuberculine tested--have to be To
! be shipped into this state-and also
because they come from a disease free
country and climate. Moreover Mr.
Davis will live on Vita Oque ranch
and the production OF clean milk Will
take place right under his eye.
: There is something OF beauty In
them, too, In these animals Of black
and white and we predict that they
: |. will 20 down In cattle history to the
! credit OF Power county and themselves
a and Vita Oque ranch.
