Boy Scouts in Camp at Tolley.

The Boy Scouts of the Episcopal
church, in charge Of Rev. Jas. N. Mac
Kenzie, one of the best Boy Scout
Masters in the country, left over the
500 Monday for the Mouse River park
near Tolley, where they are enjoying
life in camp for a week. Parents of
the boys will visit the camp during the
week. The boys presented happy
sight as they marched to the depot,
in anticipation of the good time they
were going to have.
Each boy has his blanket and this
with rain coats will provide the ar
tificial methods of bunking, but the
boys will also provide themselves with
such additional comforts and necessi-
ties for sleeping as their ingenuity
may suggest. The same will be true

life. The scouts will be amply cared

MUS HAS FINE RANCH

We had the pleasure last Sunday OF

which Mr.. Mus purchased last spring
from Albert Lokken. 1t is an ideal
cattle ranch and already improve.
ments are under way which will con-
vert this into one of the best stock
farms in the country. We were shown
over the place by Sam Strong, the
manager, and were impressed with
the many advantages the place affords
Cornering on the Mouse and with nu-
merous springs the farm has excellent
facilities for watering stock. An i'm
mense stockade has been erected and
feeding pen built which will afford
ample room for several hundred head
of cattle and big herd of bronchos
which Mr.. Mus will ship here from
a large ranch in Montana in which he
holds an interest These horses will
be put on the market as fast as they
are properly broken. Sam is an old
cattleman, having worked for years
on the great cattle ranches of Mon
tana, and is thoroughly familiar with
all the details of the business. The

among the best looking crops we saw
on our trip down the valley. Already
the nucleus of a fine herd has been
collected. An 1S-months' old Short
horn bull which heads the herd is one
of the finest animals we have seen. He
is a beauty. There are Is head Of
Polled Angus, one and two-year-old
steers here that are pleasure to see.
In addition to the cattle there are four
brood sows-Duroc Jerseys-pastur-
ing on a patch Of alfalfa, with about
forty head of spring pigs, and they
are all fit for exhibit at a stock show
and entitled to blue ribbons. At. Mr..
we met Mr.. and Mrs. J. L.
Borgstede and daughter, Gladys, who
reside on the Tom Golfer ranch at VOL
taire and were spending the day with
the Strong family. The roads down
the valley are in excellent condition,
with the exception of one or two short
stretches where the roads were being
graded. Crops never looked better.
Corn will make a good yield this year
beyond doubt, provided there are no
early frosts.
