BOWERS.

For two weeks the persistent rain
storms have almost made blank pag-
es for the business record of Bowers
Beach, but we are still hoping that
with better weather and sunshine the
usual summer trade with visitors will
set in strong.
The strawberry owners have now
an opportunity to count their gains
from sales of that crop, but few are
very loud in their assertion of pro-
fits Just now the farmers are har-
vesting the wheat crop, and the gem
eral opinion is that there will be very
satisfactory yields in the vicinity of
Bowers.
The streets of Bowers-of which so
much has been said pro and con, are
getting into very good shape under
the direction of w. S. Davidson, and
with the aid of clear weather and
sunshine it looks as if everybody
will be pleased.
The ladies have a force of men at
work manufacturing concrete blocks
for the new Community Hall. When
the foundation is completed they will
soon make a good showing as the
result of persistent effort to get a
real public building suitable for their
requirements.
All the hotels at Bowers Beach have
reopened for the summer trade, and
1t is certain that special effort will
be made to make the summer visitor
happy at Bowers by each and all of
the hotels and also the boarding
houses.
Harry Jackson is one of the most
patriotic of citizens at Bowers Beach,
and as he is veteran of Bull Run he
has been trying to enthuse the young
men to try a shot at the Mexicans;
but up to date the number has not
increased very rapidly. When the
next call comes Bowers should do
her full duty to the country and send
a good number of men.
Elmer 7. Williams of near Bowers
has bought a new Oakland automo-
bile and is preparing to show its
PAGES on the shell road.

they put in the columns of the Chron- !

umns
