| up it is time they quit riding Shank's
| pony and other methods Of locomotion
used about the time of the stone age.
We will be pleased to see them sport
new jitney, for most of US need one
nowadays, more so the farther from
town we are.
"Red" Rynearson was home for the
4th from his work on the Highway
located in the Deadwood region. He
was observing the day right for he
was preparing for "real feed" when
we last saw him on Tuesday morning.
The "old swimmin' hole" surely has
/ is attractions these nice WARM sum-
,ner days and from now on will be
used pretty regular Mother nature
is sure provident.
At last Emmett has reached the
crest from whence we can see into
the future and discern great things
in store for our little valley and the
communities adjoining. At last the
hand Of man will take the age old
rocks of Black Canyon and fashion
gigantic basin of reserve power and
resources for mankind. The forces of
nature will be harnessed and made to
obey the will of man. How mighty
are the mites, once the will is exer-
cised to compel the submission of the
universal forces to organized society.
When the dam is completed it will
stand as monument, eloquent Of the
priyations, sacrifices and hardships
endured by the pioneers and early |
progenitors of this movement which |!
has but lately started to blossom /
forth to bear fruit after many long |
years Of struggle. The mills of Man,
mon grind slowly, but the grist is
surely fine when ground. Thus at |
last progress has leapt forward and
the dreams of many of the early set
tiers will be solidified in solid con-
crete and steel ere they pass on into
the great beyond. Hail the day."

along the thorny path of life may be
robbd of as many thistles as possible.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. Katzmeyer and

At last has come that season OF
the year, when at the close of day
you settle thyself down for we'll
earned rest, the swamp-angles sing
their best. We have often thought
Noah was rather thoughtless as to
Dur future welfare when he allowed
On board these ravenous insects.
Possibly they slipped in unnoticed
thru a hole in the screen some place
md Brother Noah was not molested
Is they had plenty of other porter
house steak in sight. .
