ing an Ingersoll watch-and, this
charge being true, that fine old 81
cronometer had to take the blame for
the antics of the flivver. The moral
of this truthful tale is: Fix your
steering gear, for a fellow can't af-
ford to throw his Ingersoll away every
time a flivver comes down the road.

d. G. Davis, brother-in-law of J. n.
Arbon and partner in some of the
farming operations of this pioneer Of
the valley, stated to the Pilgrim just
before Christmas that a year g it
required three husky men to do the
feeding and chores-on the ranch. Al
the same time in 1917 one reasonably
husky lad would be able to attend to
the same work. 1t was noticed that
the reserve alfalfa stacks on the Ar
bon ranch have not been touched as
yet. This fine summer resort climate
of Power county will yet give the
dwellers of California the chance to
spend their winters in comfort, far re-
moved from the chilly blasts of the
Pacific ocean.

Hiking from Pauline to ArbOn one
day in the sunny month of December
a flivver was seen coming north, wab-
bling down the road like a ship on a
stormy sea. 1t didn't look good to
the Pilgrim and to prevent being
charged by the WARBLER he took the
precaution of climbing through a
fence, and still the juggernaut tried
to get at him. The flivver stopped
~squarely in front of the wire entangle-
ment, and the driver explained his
seeming attempt at a deadly assault
by saying he vas unable to hold the
rut in the road on account of some
thing wrong in the steering gear, and
added that the hiker had some sort

GleanIRgs by the Pilgrim In His
Wanderings Here and There.

E. T. Anderson, one of the pioneers of
Arbon valley, had 10 stacks of wheat
standing on his ranch when the head
ers were through with their operations
and these stacks yielded 1915 bushels
of Turkey Red wheat which tested SO
pounds and brought s1.S1 per bushel
at the elevator in Malad. The wheat
went an average of 1914 bushels to
the acre. On account of the weed sit
uation Mr.. Anderson will in the spring
seed 400 acres of summer fallow to
Bluestem. This pioneer of the valley
is we'll pleased with the yield of his
acres this off year. and he states that
he has positively no kick coming as
far as the price received for the grain
is concerned.

d. B. Ripley, owner of a fine ranch
on the east side of Arbon valley,
where alfalfa growing is his principal
endeavor-and a distinctly successful
one, tools busy this winter building
his new residence. The new dwelling
will contain six rooms. besides kitchen
and bath room. 1t will be a story and
a half high, built in bungalow style,
and when completed will be a grace
full addition to the farm homes of the
valley. The house rests on a 7-foot
concrete foundation extending 2H feet
above the ground. with a full concrete
basement beneath. Water from a
spring will be piped into the house.
and in every way the dwelling will be
modern.

The well on the ranch of L. K. Adolf
supplies his own ranch with water
and also that of his brother, NJ. L..
Adolf, an even thousand feet distant.
This we'll is 254 feet deep and was
drilled through solid lava rock nearly
its entire depth. The first driller had
a bad experience. losing his tools
at a depth of 200 feet, and gave up the
job. Another well driller offered to
go ahead with the work and overcame
the obstruction of the lost tools by
dropping a thick layer of cement on
top of them, trimming the hole from
the top down to a slightly larger di-
ameter and then drilling along side
the cemented tools 200 feet down, and
at 254 feet struck a flow of fine water.
A windmill was erected and NJ. L..
Adolf laid a thousand feet of one-inch
pipe underground to his ranch, and the
mill easily forces the water to the els
tern there, thus saving the sinking of
another well. The well was sunk
when Ludwig Adolf owned the ranch
and in those days nearly every settler
came there with tanks or barrels for
their supply of water. and often long
strings of wagons awaited their turn
to fill up. Water hauling now is a
rare thing in Pleasant Valley, as near
ly every ranch has its own well.

Birds Nests That Weigh Tons.

There are in Australia the largest
and heaviest nests in the world. They
ar built by the jungle fowl in great
mounds and their averages about
fifteen feet. In circumference they
are enormous.
they are usually found in secluded
places, and are sklfully made OF
twlgs or leaves or whatever material
the bird may be able to procure. The
bush turkeys construct nests which
are very similar TO those of the jungle
