lone NEWS BRIEFS

Frank Fraters. of Eight Mile, was
doing business in this burg on Mon
day. He is all swelled up over the big
crop growing on his place.
Chas. Shaver is putting down a
we'll for Wild Palmateer, of Morgan,
and hopes to strike a good flow of
water at depth of about two hun
dred feet.
Ell. Bristow, head clerk at the F..
S. Bender & Co. store, is taking his
vacation and putting in the time
painting his residence. He is some
artist with the brush.
John Williams was in town Satur-
day getting extras for his machinery,
and other supplies. He is about
ready to begin harvest and will be a
mighty busy man from now on until
snow flies.
Clarence Reynolds, pastor of the
Christian church at lone, departed
Monday on his vacation. He will be
absent for month, during which
time the evening services of the
church will be abandoned.
In a runaway at his place Monday
afternoon, j. l.. Kincaid, pioneer far
NOR of tbo Iomar Dry L,orly coot;o,
suffered a broken arm. DR.. Chick

placed the injured member in proper
shape for an early recovery.
G. M. Akers came down from
Gooseberry Saturday. He is in a
very unhappy frame of mind as he
contemplates the large amount Of
work just at hand. His big crop of
grain will make him sweat some. He
has plenty of neighbors out that way
who can sympathize with him.
The first crop of alfalfa in this vi
cinity is now all in the stack and the
second crop is coming on rapidly. The
hay farmers have all made fine cut
ting, and, barring some little injury
by the rains at the beginning of the
season they are well satisfied. The
price for hay promises to be good.
The present warm spell of weather
is maturing the grain crop quite rap
idly and many farmers will begin
heading by the first of the coming
week. From now on the joyful hum
of harvesting machinery will be heard
throughout the country districts and
bumper crops of grain will be gath
cred in.

MORROW FARM IS
SOLD At H|GHPR
Mr.. and Mrs. W. ID. Newton Buy the
II. B. Rice Farm in the Strawberry
Flat County For 25,O0O-Ar-
tesian Well Belt Gives
PrOmsce of Great
Things.

In deal which was consummated
the past week, r. B. Rice disposes of
his Strawberry Flat farm to Mr. and
Mrs. w. D. Newton. The considera-
tion was $4,000. The Rice farm
consists of 1914 acres. OF this, 400
acres is in blue stem wheat, which
from present indications will make
twenty bushels to the acre. The New
Ions have already taken possession of
their newly acquired property.
Mr. Rices original investment in
this land represents about $500. He
located a homestead here only few
years ago, but later purchased land
adjoining. Last October, the New
Ions, drilling on the ranch, struck a
flow of artesian water. The result of
this discovery has been the transfor-
nation within a year of an arid farm
into blooming garden spot. On the
bottom land, under a ditch flowing
with water the year around is now
one of the finest fields of oats in the
entire Northwest. The oats have al
ready attained heighth of five and
six feet and will MAKE an enormous
yield. This is quite contrast to the
says brush and bunch grass which
covered this land less than a year ago.
At the present time the Newlons,
who have already spent in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 in sinking wells
in this county, are putting down an
other we'll on the Rice farm and the
opening of another artesian well on
this ranch is now only matter of
days from indications at this time.
In buying this property, Mr.. and
Mrs. Newton have the firmest belief
in the future development of this sec
tion. They are laying extensive plans
which will eventually be carried out
on their ranches. Already, on their
farm, known as the old Millet farm,
demonstration farming is being con-
Quoted under the supervision of c. e.,
Farmer" Smith of the O-W. r. & n.
Co,
The Newlons will have the distinc-
ton of being among the first
to introduce the silo into Nor
row county. On the Millet ranch will
be built hundred-ton silo and on the
Rice farm a two hundred-ton silo will
be constructed. 1t Is the intention of
the new owners to engage extensively
in the dairy business. For this pur-
pose fine herd of Holstein cows will
be selected. All farming will be con-
Quoted on the diversified plan in an
extensive manner and according to
scientific principles. The dawn of
new era has about reached this sec
ton. People who have at heart the
development of the Northwest have
turned their eyes to this section of
Morrow county and new capital will
soon be coming this way.

THE R0TARIANS' own
PUBLICITY EXPERT
SAYS AS FOLLOWS

Somewhere in the Bible there is a story
to the effect that bunch of fellows who
called themselves the Israelites started
to trek from Egypt to the Promised
Land. On the way they came to a pond
and, the army engineers having failed te
provide Rontoons, somebody waved his
baseball bat and the water split $3.50. Be.
fore the water discovered that this was q
game of the Israelites to get across with.
out using their rubbers, the whole bunch
hustled over onto the other side.
Something like that is due right here ir
Augusta next Friday. The Portlandites
will make grand trek for the Promised
Land and they are going to find it gooC
to look upon. The bat waving is going
to take place after they arrive, however
and. instead Of continuing toward the
Promised Land, these poor wanderers
will have to turn around and go back t
that Egypt from whence they came. Yor
see the two cases are SO parallel thai
they're different.
But these modern searchers for the
Promised Land are reported to be live
collection and the fact. that their bal
waving Will Dc d illllc ldtC WOA TX
counted against them when they face
Saint Peter. He's said to be forgivine
sort of fellow anyhow and besides there's
so many folks little behind with theil
batting that it isn't going to be possible
to punish everyone.
You see they are Rotarians and that
will help lot Saint Peter has been &
Rotarian a long while. He qualified by
running the turn-stile at the PearlJ
Gates. No one else is in the same bust
ness so he is not keeping anybody else
from getting in right.
1t Is up to the natives Of the Promised
Land to let these Portland Rotary-Egyp'
tan wanderers understand that we real
ize they have arrived. Various plots and
counter plots have been brewed with thai
end in view. Yes, it's going to be some
session which begins at the State House
at noon and will continue without inter
ruption until that bat-waving ceremony
lis over. Augusta Rotarians big and little
fat and slim, red headed, bald headed and
light headed are hereby warned that they
have their parts to perform. The general
public and also the common people are
warned to look up Fido. He's likely te
get all unused up.
