Dear Nary
Thought I'd write so that you won't
think that awful electric storm we had
yesterday melted me up. Myi ! was
scared. For while thought l had
overlooked few dates and that it was
really the Fourth Of July. All the
barbed wire on Jos. Heincr's ranch
melted. | wonder what Mrs. Heiner's
guest, Mrs. George Armstead who is
here from Texas, thought when Old
Jupiter Pluvius started to splutter.
Jack and the boy were in the field
when the storm broke and the horse
decided that it was no time to pose as
mans faithful FRIEND" and beat it.
Broke the harness all to pieces and
Jack had to go to town today for a
number of new parts. He said that
G. ID. Martin has bought Mrs. Annie
Downey's harness shop
was afraid to go to town with
Jack, and now am sorry, as Mrs. Eli
Bates had n big surprise party for
"Grandma" Berry. The old lady was
eighty-one.
Helen has been in town half the
week. That girl makes me SO mad
Wants to attend every party she hears
of. This week 1t was Jessie Hollo-
ways party. Oh, well, we are never
young but once.
Jack tried to string me when he got
home Said there was snow in Gun
nison. nearly bit, but suddenly rem
membered that j.. A. Davidson's moth
er, Mrs. G. w. Snow of Springfield
South Dakota, is visiting her son.
Our garden was doing fine until the
other day when couple Of gophers
with vegetarian appetites got inside
I and ate the tops of all the beets and
{ lettuce. Darn a prairie purp any way
| hear that VIM. Harrington Of Ohio
City leased his ranch to VIM. Dermitt
Also NJ. o. Waterman has bought the
Jerome Caufman place at Ohio City.
Some Of Jacks old friends at White
Pine want him to come up this sum
mer. am afraid he will, too. The
folks up there gave the E. r. Harper,
big surprise party the other night
Mrs. Harper's birthday.
! We had visitors up this way Sunday
Carl Sigfrid Of Ouray, and a friend
from Denver were on fishing trip.
"The lady next door" was up Sun,
day and spent the afternoon. She hac
her little girl along. Oh, goodness
that kid can talk. You can't get {
word in edgeways. She went to two
parties last week and had to tell ms
all about them. Little Mildred Sam
pliner celebrated her sixth birthda,
with a party, and George Ruck alss
had a birthday party.

their basic tax ideas by Congress
proved the worthiness of their
plans. The development of a po-
litical fight along these lines will
depend. it is said. upon Mr..
Coolidge's acceptance or rejec-
ton of the completed tax bill.
The question of a veto cropped
up this week with the return Of
Pension bill. The Chief Execu-
tive made it known that he OBJ
jected to the measure because it
would involve heavy drains upon
the public treasury and said it
was at ODDS with the present pro-
gram of economy in government
expenditure. Those familiar
with the legislative situation say
that precedent has been estab-
lished which will discourage le-
gislation calling for a direct levy
on the public funds or providing
new and untried sources of rev.
enue to meet the increased ex-
pense. It is said that Treasury
experts have supplied the Presi-
dent with information showing
that the pending bonus bill will
exceed all estimates and for that
reason may recommend a veto.
The Postal Salary bill, which will
require approximately $80,000,-
600 annually. may be turned
down at the White House for
the same reason. The claim is
made that the President has
made it clear that he will oppose
legislation providing for increas-
ed salaries which did not carry
congressional authorization for
revenue.
1t is evident that the sponsors
for farm legislation questioned
the fate of the Tax bill at the
hands of Mr.. Coolidge. An effort

G. N. WILL EXTEND
INDUSTRY TRACK
Another Crossing b Also
to be Constructed In
Askov Village.

On account Of the increasing
business at Askov and the fact
that the space along the present
industry track is well filed up
with potato warehouses. feed
stores. cattle shute. etc. the
Great Northern Ry. has decided
on extending the industry track
about 500 feet.
An engineer is expected here
any day to survey the grounds
and make specifications. The ex-
tension win be made to the south
of the present track past the
depot and thus there will be
three sets of rails ut the princi-
pal crossing. Most Of the
material for the work has al
ready arrived as has also the
material for the crossing which
will be put in at the section
line a few hundred feet south Of
the depot.
An extension to the industry
track was made here about 8
years ago.
With the added crossing Askov
will have two crossings and II
will be quite a convenience to
the public. The crossing was
petitioned for by the village
council about a year ago.
Station Agent Danielson stat
ed that he thought the work on
both the industry track extern
sion and the new crossing will be
commenced within a couple Of
weeks.

WASHINGTON Letter
81 " CDaley

Washington. May i4.-Back of
all the turmoil incident to the
closing days of the National Le-
gislative Assembly there is a
growing feeling of uncertainty
as to the ultimate end of Con-
gressional proposals. In the pri-
vacy of cloakrooms of the Senate
and House chambers where there
is freedom of expression, legisla-
tors freely admit that they are
haunted these days by the spec
ire of a Presidential veto on
their pet measures. The sub
ject of Presidential scrutiny of
bills enacted by Congress is up
permost in the minds of party
leaders because a veto, which if
sustained, has a far reaching eff
feet upon the political fortunes
of members of Congress.
With the Senate Tax bill at
wide variance with the measure
passed by the House, the task of
the conferees is of great import
ance. 1t will be necessary to re-
model the two drafts in order to
meet the approval of both
Houses. There are certain fea-
lures of these measures which
are Objectionable to the Presi-
dent and the possibility of his
veto of the tax revision measure
has provoked considerable alarm.
1t has been said that the Presi-
dent as a candidate for re-elec-
ton may take the tax issue to
the country for settlement at the
polls. By that it is meant that
Mr.. Coolidge, in the event he
finds a veto essential, will go be-
fore the people asking for their
support for the Mellon bill which
Congress rejected. No doubt the
Democrats would welcome an is
sue of this kind because they feel
that the acceptance of many of
