b. p. HOWELLS AN OLD TIMER
IN THIS VALLEY

1t will surprise many to read that
Atty. B. p. Howells came to Oakley
in 1878. That he is still youns
man is due to the fact that he was
only twelve years of age when he
arrived-and that he came to the
right sort of country.
There were very few people living
in Oakley when Judge Howells ar
rived Mrs. Eliza Walker was here
then; also Frank Riblett, who was
living with his uncle, Jerry Riblett.
Judge Howells found just four fam
lilies on the ground: Mr.. and Mrs.
David Walker and family; Uncle
Jerry Riblett and nephew Frank; a
man by name of Harp; and Hopkins
& Haywood, ranchers.
Among the Oakley people here in
1880 are: Mrs. Thos. Dayley; Mrs.
Anna Dayley, Lish Dayley, Joe Day
ley, Eugene Emery, John l.. Smith,
Phil Shaw, Mr. and Mrs B. P. How
ellis, Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Severe,
Mrs. Eliza Walker, John McMurray.

And what does a pine nut taste
like? Well, the taste is an intimate
mixture of a little of each of the
following ingredients:
The perfumed breath of wildwood

Their nectar, that the bee
distills;
The airs fresh vigor after showers,
Refreshment from the noun

GROUND SWALLOWS UP COW

One morning last week, when
Owen Fairchild went out to the fiei !
to milk his COW, he couldn't find
her anywhere. There was good
fence around the lot, and the gate
was securely fastened. The COW had
MT strayed away--that was certain
Mr. Fairchild thought that perhaps
his eyes were failing, so he called
Mrs Fairchild out to help him look
for the COW. Mrs. Fairchild had no
better success than he. Her decision
was prompt and final-there was no
COW in the lot.
During all the day, Mr.. Fairchild
kept inquiring of his neighbors if
they had seen a brown COW with
two white spots on her forehead.
They had not. No one had got IA
glimpse of her If thief had cay
tured her, evidently he had done
the work while the town was asleep.
About six O'Clock that evening
Mr.. Fairchild again went out to the
pasture. He had come to the con
clusion that one of two thing had
happened to "Old Spot" either
the ground had opened up and swal-
lowed her; or else she had acquired
possession of one of those fairy-sto-
ny cloaks that rendered the wearer
invisible. While meditating along
this line Mr.. Fairchild had climbed
sort of mound without noticing
where he was going.
He was still thinking about the
magic cloak when he heard COW
bawl, directly under his feet This
startled him and caused him to
jump.
What happened in the next thirty
seconds may sound like fairy tale
and you may not believe it, but We
re going to print it all the same.
The ground gave way under Mr.
Fairchild's feet and he found him
self in a semi-dark region under
ground There was a COW there
with him, and in the dim light he
could see two light spots on her fore
head. 1t was "Old Spoti"
This was not the 'lower regions,
or a robbers cave, or anything OF
that sort-but an old potato cellar
on the roof of which the COW had
walked and broken through. The
had hidden the outline OF
the cellar from both the COW and
Mr.. Fairchild.
1t was not an easy matter to res
cue "Old Spot" for she refused to
climb the steps. Mr.. Fairchild had .
to tear away the steps before he
could get her to come out
At least part of this story is
true. Some of the trimmings may
have been manufactured in the Her
ild office.

Mrs. Eliza Walker attended the
fair at Burley and said she wouldn't
have missed seeing it. She remain

attended the old-timers' convention.
She was an honored guest at the pi-

And now, in the comfort of home,
we roast batch of the cones in
the oven of the kitchen range or
the ash-pan of the living room stove
The whole house is pervaded with
a delightful balsamic fragrance. Af-
ter a few minutes we take out the
cones; let them cool; then start
shelling out the nuts. There are
no nuts under the scales at the base
of the cone, but practically every
scale near the apex has one or two
there are about twenty nuts in each
cone. A cone is somewhere near
the size of lemon, while the nut
resembles a small peanut in size and
shape. By the time the shell and
the envelop are removed, the kernel
is found to be quite small affair.

hungry.
During our picnic the wind blew
from all corners of the universe
Smoke from the camp fire would en-
Velop us for a moment; then tho
impartial zephyrs would carry the
smoke away, and bring from some
other direction great quantities of
dust. and the dust thoroly peppered
all the things we had TO eat But d
fellow needs a little grit in his giz-
zard nobody complained of indiges-
ton that day.
: Right after lunch you just ought
to have seen that crowd scatter ov.
er the City, Every last one of us
(including the dog) picked out some
big rock and explored all its cram
nies and crevices. Nobody found
anything. except the dog. who scared
out a jack rabbit. Each of us soon
decided that it would be a pretty
big job to examine every rock. since
there are thousands of them scatter
ed over a good many square miles
OF territory; so we pretended we
had been looking for pine nuts all
the time; and we now really began
looking for them.
Trees were quite plentiful, so we
soon had as many as we could take
home with us. AS there had been
many nut harvesters before us we
found the cones were all quite high
in the trees; the lower ones had
been gathered already. Foreseeing
this, we had brought garden rake
along, which came in quite handy.
The manipulation of the rake was
visited by misfortune on one occa-
sion-he reached for particularly
high cone which came down with
some force on the end of his nose
at the same time the rake parted
from the handle and came down on
top of his head. Fortunately the
take was made of soft iron, and the
head of good solid ivory.
Maybe you think it wasn't sticky
job gathering those nuts We wore
cotton work gloves at first. and
they were quite effective until the
balsam began to get inside Then
we worked bare-handed. We found
that liberal application of the
fine dust from the road would re-
move the sickness of the balsam
without adding very much to our
general dirtiness.
We soon learned to take only the
young cones. The older ones had
large-sized nuts. but the nuts hal
no kernels in them, or else were
wormy. We also learned that after
the cones have cracked open most of
the nuts have fallen out. We found
that the nuts could be removed |
from the cones without roasting, but |
that the easiest way of removing |
them was to throw the cones into |
hot ashes or a hot oven for Short |
time. The Indians are said to have
a method of roasting the nuts by |
putting the cones in large basket
with hot stones and keeping them |
stirred; this method, we
are assured, gives the nuts the best
possible flavor.
When we were on our way home
one of the Junction citizens told us
that recently two mysterious stran-
gers camped in the City of Rocks
for several days They acted as il
hey knew the place; looked it over
nethodically; and departed silently.
no one knows just when. II is the
belief of the Junction citizen that
.hese men had learned the location
If the hidden treasure, and that
hey carried it away with them.
Maybe we'd better not hunt any
more for it.
