a group of hosts who recently gave a
pleasing pBrty and who sign them
selves on the invitations as "Fat"
Kiddle, "Harve" Andrews, "Gimlet"

time of it though, and the evening
was a pleasant one. Grotesque cos

nature of the times were many and
laughable. i

probably rent the place for this year.

The basketball game with the Y.
M. C. A. team of Baker last Friday
evening was a fast and furious one.
The visiting team put up a stiff fight
but could not do anything to speak of
against the Union team. The Baker
team-work was all right except when
they tried to pass the ball, some of
the local team stopped it and spoiled
their play. Goodbrod pitched 5 field
baskets and Lewyn 4, besides other
members of the team doing good

favor of Union. A large crowd wit

Mr. and Mrs. Wigglesworth have

Dr. Law made a professional trip to
Cove last Friday and returned Satur
day. John Dobbin and others in this vi
cinity were selling horses and mules
to Mr! Carlisle of Oklahoma last
week. The price we understand was
rather low with a tendency on the
downward path. Dealers claim that
horses will not command as good
price tnis year as usual. We will ven
ture to predict that if the farmers
hold their work animals until spring
opens that they will get fair prices
if not quite so high as other years.
Mr. Carlisle is buying for the south
ern market and will ship to Ft. Worth.
i Texas.
Dr. Law is preparing to have some
artesian wells put down on his ranch
which lies east of North Powder. The
Dr. thinks that this will be an ideal
way of irrigation on his ranch as
everything points to an abundance of
water in the ground and it will not
be very' expensive to get it up to the
top' and then into reservoirs to store
it in until he is ready to use it He
will have work started in a short
time and see what can be done along
this line.
