The crops on the irrigated lands
Of the Aberdeen country were never
so abundant as this year. The great
e1panse of farms lying to the south
ward Of the town present spectacle
that probably can not be excelled
anywhere; wheat as thick and as
tall as would be possible and yet
maintain good proportions and good
yield, or fields already cut and
shocked that show by the size and
number of the shocks that the yield
was at top notch; potatoes and sugar
beets presenting seemingly almost
perfect stand, oats and other grains
of the most enyiable yield are to be
seen on every side, and no light crops
except perhaps on some rented lands
where the farming was not we'll done
or the watering was neglected. Be-
sides the field crops, are abundant
gardens with the ground crowded
growth Of all with hardy fruit and
vegetables. The gardens are
large and we'll kept, and in many
places groves of trees flourish and
many fine houses show the prosperity
of former years.
Many of the farmers have tracts
of Grimm alfalfa that are raising a
bumper crop of seed. Some have red
clover or alsike, and everywhere
there is abundant food for honey
bees in untold millions. The Aber-
deem farmers have planted large
areas to potatoes this year and many
of them have certified seed and will
be able to fill orders for carload lots
from one field Of superior product.
The greatest area of Grimm
alfalfa seed seems to be north Of
Aberdeen and diversified farming is
in evidence everywhere. The, great
fields of grain with scarcely a spot |
TN them, potatoes and beets that pre-
sent one solid mass Of green at a dis
tance and scarcely any missed hills
when inspected at close range, show
that the Aberdeen country is fast
coming into its own.
Aberdeen is new country and the |
barrenness of few years ago is |
rapidly giving place to lawns and !
groves, with flowers and shrubs. The
empty barnyards of a few years ago
and the lack of pastures with live
stock, now gives place to domestic
animals of the high bred or pure
bred types that spell increasing
wealth. Canal banks that once grew

PAVING BIDS ARE
HEARD BY COUNCIL
Cut is Made in Price of
New Paving;Bonds
Taken at Par

The city council at their adjourned
meeting Friday evening postponed
the hearing of bids on the improve.
ments of the City Hall and the new
heating system until Tuesday even
ing. Some Of the contractors that
intended making bids had not seen
the plans and for this reason the
bidders were given more time to
prepare.
The bids on the paving were thea
read, Wheelwright Construction COM
pany being first. Their bid on recn-
forced concrete paving totaled $67,-
1850. The bid Of Gibbons and Reed
Of Salt Lake for reinforced concrete
totaled $64,795.60 and their bid on
bitulithic paving on a cement con-
crete base totaled $64,070.80. Their
bid on bitulithic paving on a
bituminous concrete base totaled
SCI, ,494.96.
J. G. Mcguire placed two bids, one
for bithtulithic paving on cement
conrete base totaled $58,106. The
second on bithulithic paving on
bituminous concrete base, which is
the same as has been laid here
totaled $65,287.76.
The council then went into execu-
tive session and decided to accept the
bid of J. G. Mcguire. Mr.. Mcguire
stated that he would take the bonds
issued against the improvement dis
trict at par and the wages to be paid
would be As cents an hour for COM
mon labor and 60 cents for other
labor.
Mr.. Mcguire made a considerable
cut in laying the new district, the
paving being laid will approximately
be 40 cents yard less, excavation
at SO cents less per yard. The curb
will be put in at 18 cents less per
foot, eight inch pipe A cents and six
inch pipe 80 cents less per foot.
Gutter plates will be put in at $13.48l
each less than formerly.

ABERDEEN BOOSTS
Unuual Wheat To Be
Exhibited by
F armers

J. H. Merrill of Rockford and A
R. K0feod, of Riverton, have som,
very unusual wheat which they will
exhibit at the Southeastern Idaho
Fair.
The wheat belonging to Mr.. Mer
| rill, so the story goes, was first found
in jar in one of the cliff dwellers
caves in Utah. This small sample
has been propogated and Mr.. Merrill
will have about fifteen bushels oi
the wheat this fall. He says it il
unusually large and different than
anything else he has ever seen.
A. R. Kofoed has a wheat called
the Goose wheat. Stories indicate
that this wheat was originally taken
from the crop of wild goose and
has been propogated since that time.
Indications are, as Mr.. Kofoed re-
ports, that its yield will far surpass
any Of our best wheats. A sheaf
Of this wheat will be on exhibit at
the Southeastern Idaho Fair. All
interested parties should pay close
attention. We expect to have the
judge in this department give us full
details regarding these two wheats
if possible.
Vice President Fred Seeger, we'll
known potato buyer, taking the
secretary of the fair as his guest, mo-
tored to Henry for the big round
up with a view Of engaging features
and performers Of that roundup that
might be of interest to the patrons
of the Southeastern Idaho Fair. The
bucking contests presented at this
roundup were very good and the Of
ficers OF the roundup, altho not in
the very best condition to negotiate
business, informed US that they
would attend the Southeastern Idaho
Fair and bring Caribou county with
them. The attendance at the round
up was far greater than they antici-
pated. Approximately $500 attended
the first day ALI the visitors at thet1
roundup were very much interested
in the Southeastern Idaho Fair and
in all probability we can look for
large delegation from that section
of the country. l.. w. Alfred, the
we'll known horse man OF Henry, has
taken the generalship of plotting all
the Caribou residents toward Black
foot, September 1923.
The Aberdeen Commercial club
have taken 1t upon themselves to
boost the Southeastern Idaho fair in
any way possible. They have all
their committees to work on exhibits
for the fair and they swear by all
that is holy that they are going to
walk away with everything. they
come after. It is up to the other
to get busy and do all |
they can to prevent such land slide |
Of prizes going to any one section. |
We are proud of Aberdeen and the |
spirit they are taking in the fair. |
Many agricultural and livestock ex-
hibits will come from that section |
from such men as Glen Partner, who
will show Shorthorns and Mr.. Pratt,
who will show Duroc-Jersey hogs.
Mr.. Vanderford will show red clover
seed, alsike clover seed and Hamp-
shire sheep. Coulson brothers will

I have to take care of myself and Jimmie now and would like a place in the west somewhere. I do not care how far from town or people it is. 1 do not want a place in town.
 I live close toRansas City and have always wanted to go West. I am not hunting for someone to marry, I simply want home where I can have Jimmy and not be worrying about him all day. have been working day and taking care of him at night, but thought there might be some farmer or rancher that needed a house. keeper. Then I could have him all the time. I have no idea of what the wages ought to be but only want enough to buy clothes for Jimmy and my self.
 I am 22 years old but was married four years so do not feel so>very young. Jimmy and l want home where we will be needed. I have no objection to one little girl or boy.
 Do not give my name and address to a man who cannot be trusted. I hope I hear from someone right soon as it is al most spring and I would like to make a nice garden and have chickens.
 l will surely be very grateful and could never thank anyone enough that would help me find a place to live in peace. Thanking anyone for their trouble,

K. P'S. CELEBRATE
 9TH ANNIVERSARY

Monday was great day for the> Knights of Pythias of Will Hams, as we'll as for the K. P's. throughout the nation In hon or of the 57th anniversary of the organization of the order, a banquet and dance had been planned and the function prov ed one of great credit to the committees in charge.
 A hundred Knights from Will Hams and nearby points, assem- bled at the castle hall where a fitting ceremony in commence ration of the organization of the Knights of Pythias, was carried out. A telegram from Grand Chancellor J. A. Gilbert of the district of Arizona, was read, in which he conferred his blessing upon the Grand Can yon lodge admonished them to remember the significance ofthe day and to renew their determination to keep the faith and VOWS of the order. A very impressive address was deliv- cred by our local townsman, Frank H. Davis, manager of the hardware department at Rabbits, who proved himself no mean orator.
 Adjourning ffom the Castle, the Knights assembled on the dancing floor below where near a hundred ladies and friends were already gathered, and there spent a number of hours in pleasant social intercourse around the card tables and on the floor. Most delicious punch concocted by Nels Fousha, served to enliven the spirits of all.
 But, beyond question, the most delightful feature of the occasion was the 1unch-wor- thy to be called banquet-serv- ed by the ladies, in the rooms above. There was not a Knight; but that declared himself par ticularly fortunate in being present for this part of the eve ning's entertainment.
 The revived Grand Canyon Lodge No. II, of the K. P. con- tinues to grow in membership as do the members in enthus- ias:n. and gives promise of far excelling in strength and good works the record formerly made by this lodge.
 The KniuhtS wish to thank the ladies for their cooperation and help in making the dance success.

 Senator Chas. E. Larson, of Williams, Coconino county. The Samson of the. good roads protagonists in the state senate. Serving his first term in the leg islature, and is acknowledged to be one of the. biggest men in the senate. Very much a pro- gressive. An idealist, one of the few in that honorable body, who still looks at questions from the viewpoint of the com mon veal. If he does not go astray in following the trails of the mess of pottage, is destined to be one of Arizona's big men. Nobody ever heard of him around the state capitol before the present session of the legis- lature convened. Is already recognized as a power and in- f1uence.
 Is in the wood business, ship ping cordwood and posts to California and Phoenix. Ex- presses his philosophy of pub lie life in three words Lets go ahead" Turned in a minority report signed by his lonesome favoring the passage of the Omnibus roads appropriation bill for the completion of the present state highway projects under construction, and at this date it looks as though his re- port would be the one to pre- vail over the majority report signed by the other six mem bers of the appropriations committee favoring cutting the appropriations in half. Has al- so introduced a bill revising the inheritance tax law to provide for the payment of a five per cent inheritance tax on estates of over ten thousand dollar exemption.

It is consistently reported that the Coconino Sun printing office is soon to be moved from it's present location in Flagstaff to Bellemont. This is the june tion of the Saginaw & Manis- tee Lumber Company's railway with the Santa Fe. Moving the Sun there will enable the edi- tor of that paper to get his news concerning the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Company first hand, and will render it unnecessary for him to depend upon street corner rumors for the source of his information.

SAGINAW s MAN|STEE
 ID, GIVES INTERVIEW
"A Few Changes Made I'm Own ership-Younger Men Secur- ed On Board of Directors No Change i1 Policy Nor Per sonneI.

In an interview with F.. A. Nickerson, Manager of the Sag inaw & Manistee Lumber Co.,, this week, the News was given information which will prove of especial interest to News read CTS in view of the erroneous rum ors which have been given pub licity by supposedly reliable paper published at Flagstaff. The following is the only auth oratative interview that has been given out by the company, on the Subject here treated.
 The rumored sale of the prop erty of the Saginaw 6 Manistee Lumber Go. to a Chicago lum- Der company was purely fctic- ous. No sale has been made, nor attempted, but some chang es have been made in the stock holders of the company and on the board of directors.
 Seven of the original stock holders of the company have died within the past few years. Their holdings had passed on to their heirs, many of these old people beyond the age. of active work, and others persons not trained in nor desiring to learn the lumber business. These heirs and a few other of the other older stockholders, either not feeling able or feel ing disinclined to take an active part in te organization have sold their stock to younger men who are Iumbermen. This has brought new and younger blood into the organization and will naturally add efficiency to the work of the board of directors.
 The new board of directors plan no changes in the policies nor1n the personnel of the man agement of the company. The mill will be conducted at the same location and along the same lines as formerly.
 In answer to a question as to how long the present lumber holdings of the company would last, Mir, Nickerson stated frank 1y that the company has now ip sight from twenty to thirty years cutting of timber. Twenty years IS the very lowest possi- ble minimum with a probab- 1llty that thirty years will be required to complete the cut tlng. The number of years that will be taken to cut the timber will vary, quite natur- ally with the demand that there IS for lumber during this period. in addition to the timber now owned by the company, there IS enough additional timber available to extend the time of cutting to forty years, should the Saginaw procure this tim Der.
 Repairs at the Saw mill have now been completed and the mill will be opened as soon as there is sufficient water in the Saginaw dams to assure a sun- ply for continuous operation MT. Nickerson anticipates that this will be within the next few weeks.
