Midvalley, Nov. 4, 1920.
Raymond Haight is around now and
seems to feel pretty good after his
operation for appendicitis recently.
Mr.. and Mrs. Milt Uric are now
comfortably located at the E. M.
Owens place mile or so west of the
Midvalley crossroads near the new
post road.
The Haight Brothers have recently
purchased small Red River Special
alfalfa seed huller which will be used
for their large crop of seed. They
have 80 acres ready for harvesting.
Many of the farmers were caught
by the snow storms with their third
crop of alfalfa down and potatoes
still in the ground but it is hoped the
storms will keep off until the fall
work is well caught up with.
The Midvalley school is flourishing
this winter under the tutorship OF
Miss Jennie Rogerson with 80 or
more pupils enrolled. The children
are making good Roadway this year
and will have better showing at the
end of the term than last year as 1t
was after holidays last year before
school was started in earnest.
The district school childrden were
entertained last Thursday afternoon
at a Halloween party given in the
school house. Games, stories and
good Halloween stunts were the en-
tertainment features and apples.
sandwiches, cake and popcorn balls
were served.

their place at the Stevens ranch are

house for the convenience of Miss
Rogerson who is living with them
and who will not have so far to go to
school during cold weather.
The children Of Primary age are

Mrs. Sarah Matheson. The meetings

distance.
Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Davenport,
who formerly lived at the VIM farm
near Summit are now located in their
new bungalow at the crossroads. They
purchased a lot from Horton Haight
as their land is a mile or so from the
main road. The neighborhood is be-
ginning to take on shape and at the
rate building has been progressing
this summer we will soon be able to
boast a real live looking community.
The alfalfa seed question is receiv-
ing no little attention in this vicinity
this fall, there being some very good
crops raised. A great deal of loss
was sustained, however with the early
snow storms. VIM. Grimshaw has
been threshing seed with his new hull
err which is run by small tractor
and he reports that the best price
offered him recently was 16cts pei
pound for not less than 20 tons. The
Stevens Brothers have eleven big
stacks harvested and ready for thresh-
ing which will bring them into the
thousands of dollars if they receive
any kind of price.
There are now four tractors in this
vicinity and an effort will be made
to have the road from the top of the
