Dear Mary
Just feel like writing letters today,
and you head the list of those 10
whom ! am going to write.
What shall we chat about! Have
spent most Of the week "good-bying'
friends. Several have left town, some
for good. Mrs. A. D. Smith went for
q visit in Chicago last night.
Jasper Tidd and family left yester-
day for Walla Walla, Washington to
reside. They sold their place in West
Town to H. S. Crooks.
The dirt has been flying around here
this week, If property changing hands
can raise the dust-and it can, too
the kind that goes in . fellows pocket.
J. d. Miller & Bro. bought the Phillip
Vidal ranch. John B. Outcalt secured
the old Marshall ranch for $1,000,
and heard that Thos. Roach of Lake
Fork, has added the old Hollyrod
ranch to his holdings near Youmans.
Wish Jack liked ranching instead
OF mining. He has been gone all week
on the Cochetopa. Went up with Geo.
McAfee the other day, to help him
haul ore from the Maple Leaf to
Parlin.
l thought he was going to White
Pine, but guess he changed his mind.
hear there is q brand new citizen up
there, a boy at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ed. Hyland.
Dan Cupid also had an inning up
that way. Miss Gertrude Landrigan
Of White Pine was married here this
week to q Mr.. Richard Yates. She
had big dance at her home later on.
i heard that camp gave farewell
dance in honor of Clifford Sitter and
Gene Miller, before the young men left
for Denver.
Say, Mary. if you get tired of your
own cooking, come down and we will
get ourselves invited to the new do
nestle science club. A bunch of our
bachelors have organized one and de-
clare they can beat the women folks
cooking. Deacon Hurley is chef with
Don Parsons as assistant. L. Wein-
berger will act as tOastmaster, and
the rest of the bunch are up to their
eyes in plans.
III bet they'll get tired of their
cooking in no time and be hollering for
S.n johnson to move back from Delta.

Haven't been to q party all week.
Guess folks have lost my address. |

Went down after the mail this morn
ing and on the street met Fora Roe
buck heading for the depot. She has
been visiting here and was returning
home to Montrose.
l like to go down to the depot at
train time. You see 30 many strang-
ers. And quite often friends from
out of town. Henry Schenepf was
boarding the train the other morning
when l was at the depot. He had
been i'll with inflammatory rheumatism
for nearly year and this was his
first trip from Cebolfa in q long time.
He was saying his son had a Sc
we're fall on the Ice last week and was
bruised up.
On the same train, returning to his
home in Lake City, was Attorney j.

ing a big talk about the proposed rail-
road between Silverton and Lake City.
After the train pulled out, the Crest
ed Butte train started of. Geo. Sand

take the place of Frank Songer, who
was hurt in the railroad yards there.
