has twenty acres of potatoes, ten
acres of grain and some hay. He is

A Bridge Washed Out
A crossing of the canal about half
mile east of the Stewart school
house is giving travellers some
trouble and the neighbors say that
If it takes as long to get that bridge
repaired by the county management
as it did another one that washed
out in that neighborhood last year,
it will be giving trouble for several
weeks, perhaps several months.
East of Groveland
John Mangum has sixty acres that
he bought of Hansen, where William
Lindsay once lived. The price paid
was $4,000 which was about $3.50
per acre. 1t had good house, a
good barn, other buildings and a
we'll. Mr.. Mangum is raising three
and half acres of potatoes, thirteen
acres of wheat, three and half of
oats, seven of beets and some hay.
G.. V. Hampton has twenty-five
acres of what was once the Charlie
Bumgarner desert claim, and is
raising hay, grain, beets and pota-
toes. Mr.. Hampton was away on
fishing trip and we did not get the
acreage.
George McKie is on the Jack War
rem place as a leaser. Mr.. Warren
is in Sedan, Kan. on account Of the
illness of his wife. There are forty
acres in the farm and they have
planted fourteen acres of potatoes,
four Of beets, one and half acres Of
mangels, and some grain and there
is some small fruits on the place:
Clifford Morris has 1000 ever,
bearing strawberry plants on his
forty acre farm north of the McCarty
place. He came from Mill Creek,
Utah, where he has had considerable
experience with Strawberries and he
hopes to produce considerable of
that fruit here. He paid $4,000 or
SIS an acre for his place with no
buildings and no we'll on it, no
grading done; merely the water
right and some fencing. He is rails
ing five or six acres of potatoes,
eleven acres of grain, and twelve or
fifteen acres of hay. 1t was quite a
strange coincidence that Mr.. Morris
found lots of his old friends and
neighbors from the Mill Creek
country living in Groveland and
other settlements. These are some
of the families living near him that
he had known before: Mrs. Simp-
ers, Ernest Lilya, Arthur Samuelson,
P. r. Madsen, Roy Howard, Reuben
Bailey, Edward and Charlie John
son, the Herbst families, the three
families, and the three
Helm families of Riverside. He has
seven or eight hundred raspberry
plants.

east of Groveland. He has done a
lot of grading on the place and is

The everbearing strawberry plants

hat he has sorted out from his herd |
in previous years.
