j. +. Strickfaden is surely q gener-
ous-hearted gentleman. Last Friday
he brought three small orphan pork
ers to this village and presented two
to the editor and one to Postmaster
u. X. Martin. He, perhaps, gave the
greater number to the editor, knowing
that the latter's farm experience was
more extensive, and he figured that
he should be able to make two polncs
|of pork grow where the inexperienced
printer would be able to produce one
and we about half believe he'll do It,
because he will avail himself of all
the governments frills in hogoIogy.
However, we opine If Martin does ac-
complish this feat, he may have to
half starve himself, and six months
hence, when his swineship is sleek
and fat our Petroleum ", may be
little more than mere shadow.
Banker IT. M. Becker departed Tues
day for Aberdeen, In south Idaho,
where he has extensive land holdings
which require his presence In regard
to placing irrigation thereon. Mr..
Bieker has something rich and we
hope he makes million out Of 1t. He
may be absent month, If necessary.
While at play at the school grounds
one day last week, Charlie linn had
the misfortune to be struck near the
eye with stick with a nail in 1t and
for several days his optic was badly
swollen and he suffered considerable
distress. That he escaped without
more serious injury is next to mir
aculous.

pose of finding ways and means to

ances In this vicinity.
ID. n. Steiner spent Monday here
| from Grangeville, returning again in
the evening. Dave made the remark
| that IL Ferdinanders owned more cars
he would be tempted to engage In the
garage and machinist business here,
but will engage In business at the
county capital, where he has a good
| layout in sight.

Postmaster Martin this week receiv-
ed notice from the department at
Washington that he may forthwith
move the postoffice to the old Steun-
enberg bank building and win do so
soon as few minor repairs are made
The Vollmer Spokesman last week
came out from its last several months
state Of lethargy and bore all the ear
marks of a regular newspaper. Boiler
plate is all right in its place, but a
burned substitute for live, home
news Mac Schofield, its former pilot
is again editor and it's the best single
number ever issued in Vollmer. Keep
up that gait, Mae, and we may will
you one OF our she-devils.
