Genesee News: W. E. Smith is the
latest to enter the arena for the
honors of raising corn. He has on
display at the N. T. ticket office a
stock of corn that measures 10a feet
in height and has one ear and an
other one started. Smith says he
had another stalk that had "big
ear" on but that in trying TO "fell"
the stalk the ear was accidently
broken off. He also said he had
stuck stick down by this big stalk
to mark it, earlier in the season,
and when he went to get the stalk
it had two ears and the stake had a
"nubbin".
Deary Press: The town we'll has
been completed for the present time
at least, depth of 200 feet having
been attained before the Craine
brothers holsted the drill. Water
stands in the we'll to within 80 feet
of the surface A good test of the
stength OF the veins has not yet
been made. 1t is felt, however, that
the flow will be sufficient for pres
ent purposes. The we'll was the first
thing necessary before considering
a water system. If the well proves
to be what is hoped for it, the viii
lage can take the next step, which
will be to devise ways and means
for proceeding further,
Troy News: Sunday when Burl
Emmett was returning from town
to his home ON Little Bear ridge,
he was driving down grade near
the Erick johnson ranch and his big
new Willys-Kinght became unman-
ageable and started down one side
of the grade and when Burl saw
that he could not stop the car he
gave it it's own way and made a
leap for safety. The car rolled
over the bank about fifty feet,
breaking the front end, top and do
ing considerable damage to the
machine.
Juliaetta Record: Raiding water
melon patches of Juliaetta growers
has been favorite pastime for the
past few nights by automobile par
ties supposedly out JOY riding and
bent on mischief James Fishers
melon patch was entered Monday
night when great damage was done
10y pulling and smashing the green
as we'll as ripe melons and destroy
ing the vines. The patch was raid
ed again Wednesday night, but Mr..
Fisher was expecting another visit
from the nocturnal providers and
took shot at one of the offenders
who dropped melon he had pulled
and got into his car and beat hasty
retreat, going up the grade till
they came to the G. F. Morgan place
where they entered his melon patch
and pulled nearly every large
melon in it. Many of the melons
both green and ripe, were found
along the road where they had been
bursted, the parties seemingly not
caring so much for melon to eat,
but being particular to detroy them
and do the owner as much damage
as possible. Such acts are most des-
plcable and uncalled for on the part
of anyone, especially in view of the
fact that the parties could easily OBJ
tain good ripe melon to eat from
the owner without pay simply by
asking for one, and they would be
glad to let them have It,. 10 literal.
ly detroy a mans melon patch
which has cost hlm so much hare
labor is nothing less than pure
meanness in every sense of the
word.
