THE WINNERS
AT FLY BLOW
MISSIONER EATS DIRT AT
ROUNDUP WHEN YEARL-
THROWS HIM.

The Fly Blow celebration,
closing Saturday evening after
five days exhibition of wild
west stunts is now history and
everyone who took in the affair
will long remember the event.
The attendance was some
what cut short by inclement
weather and bad roads leading to
the scene of the celebration but
the spirit Of the crowd was as
enthusiastic as if there had been
10000 people present. Cotton
wood was well represented at the
Fly Blow doings and the Tut
Strut orchestra was exceedingly
popular, especially so after the
members of this organization
entertained the people with wild
west stunts of their own. Each
member of the orchestra at
tempted to ride a yearling steer
from the chute and in this UNI
dertaking Frank Jenny, Barney
Malerich and Raymond Matthie-
sen we're successful. Prof. West
over, who thumps the ivory keys
to perfection says that his hands
were not make to close and as a
result he was unable to stay
seated on the animals back bone
and before it had made more
than a dozen jumps Westover
was eating dirt. Tommy Gibbons
lad nothing on Westover for
popularity after defeat stared
him in the face. Cowboys and
cowgirls rushed to his side after
he was thrown and to what
seemed to them as the tune Of
Home Sweet Home only a few
seconds before the steer left the
chute dwindled down to what
now sounded like the defeated
cowboy playing Nearer My God
to Thee"
The celebration from finan-
cial standpoint was a success
even tho the attendance was not
quite what was expected.

1T SURELY PAYS.

Few people realize that cream
is being brought out from the
Salmon river on pack horses but
this is nevertheless the truth,
for Monday of this week Mr.. and
Mrs. Roy Unzicker delivered in
Cottonwood, to Ed Terhaar,
cream valued at S32 which they
brought here on pack horses
About six weeks ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Unzicker commenced milk
ing % head of cattle and ever
since that date they have had a
weekly pay check of $32 from
the cream alone. So enthusiastic
are they over the results that
they are going to increase their
milking herd. Heretofore the
cattle have been allowed to run
on the range with no profit to
their owners whatsoever only
when the time came to sell them
for beef. At the present time
they are just getting half of the
milk, the remaining half going
to the calves.
The Unzickers have also stock
ed their farm with hogs and they
are being fed on the SKINNED
milk, At the present time they
have a fine herd of hogs which
they also plan to market in the
very near future.
The cream brought in Monday
tested so, and they say they are
well satisfied, the profits amply
repaying them for their labor.
The best part of it all is that
they have a pay day each week.
