LINCOLN LINES

Earl and Chester Modin called at
the correspondent home last Sunday
evening and we had the pleasure of a
ride TO Black Canyon in the new auto
mobile. We were much surprised to
see SO much developments, but had
really expected to see quite a bit of
the dam all ready finished, which goes
to prove how much we know about
this dam business. We looked over
the old primeval rocks scanned and
cracked by countless centuries of wea-
thering OF the elements and as we gaz-
ed upon their SCARED faces many
thoughts arose in our minds of how
long those old granite and lava for
nations had existed, and how long it
took man in his might to formulate a
plan by which the Embarrassed forces
might be conquered; to think that
old damsite has always existed about
iii its present form. In looking over
the old sights around the damsite our
memories carried us back to the days
of long ago when as barefoot, freckled
faced kids we used to wander over all
that section of the country, ganged
together in quest of adventure and
as our minds dwelt on those old scenes
we could not help but have sort of
choking in our throats for we realized
that never again will those old days
of long ago return with all its old
time friends and playmates.
"Swede" Modin states that possibly
two more weeks will see him headed
for Seattle, back to join the old gang
at Bryn Mawr. In commenting or the
damsite he said that as soon as the
backwater made good boating place
he would have to transfer the old
launch down from the coast. Swede
intends to make prolonged visit at
coast points He also states that the
main rush on the fruit ranch is about
over for the season. In selling fruit
ON the ranch he has encountered many,
many types of humanity and every so
often some inquisitive cuss comes
along who inquiries as to how many
gallons an acre it will produce instead
of tons.
The Kersey threshing machine is
IN our section of the community this
week with work in view at the Hell |
mick ranch. Amos is good thresh- !
,er and deserves just patronage. We
look with interest to the turnout that
Mr.. Helmick gets from his upper
twenty.
The correspondent drove Joe Lewis !

Huil. the turkey man, and retrieve

While at that place we had little ,
chat with the turkey king IF Idaho.

further development on his uncie's
place before he can prove up.
Hubert Dayton arrived Sunday even
ing to visit home folks and spend
few days renewing old acquaintance.
He is employed as engineer on the
Chaise engine near New Centerville
for the Boise Payette Lumber Co. be
would not have had this opportunity
had not the engine needed repairing
and he brought it to Barber.
Some twenty-eight pupils are now
with Miss Mills at Lincoln
school, which represents some IA
families. Miss Mills is teaching five
grades this year, which allows her
but little time to talk to you boys,
but am sure you will find her an IN
teresting conyersationalist.
Mr. and Mrs. Thos. ]. Coonrod were
Pavette visitors Sunday, spending the
day at Mrs. Coonroo's sons home. the
