Johnson and Franklin are one of the largest shippers and feeders of lambs in the county having fattened In excess of 6000 lambs during the past year, for the market. The record of the week for tho lo cally raised stock Is an envlablo one and should be an Incentive to local growers to continue to turn out the class of stock which the buyers are willing to pay a royalty upon in order to secure them.

Observe Anniversary We have been handed tho follow ing clipping which tells of the re cent celebration of the sixtieth wed ding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Bork, of Flora, very well known In this valley, and we are very glad to pass It on. The farm home of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Bork of Flora was the scene of a very happy gathering Sunday, Jan. 24, 1032, when all of their chil dren gathored there, as a surprise to help them celebrate their sixtieth wedding anniversary. Grandpa and Grandma, as they are known to all their friends, were married in Germany Jan. 26, 1872, where they made their home until 1864, when they decided, to come to America with their : family of four children. They boarded tho ship' at Hamburg and started on their journey to America. After one and one-half days it was found the ship was leaking, and they must return to Hamburg for repairs. This did not discourage them. After a five days watt they again boarded the some Bhip land began tho journey a second time, which lasted 21 days. All this time they did not see anything but sky and water, the waves rolling complete ly over the ship at times. ; A num ber of the passengers were very 111. Two deaths occurred and the bodies wero burled In the waters of tho At lantic ocean. They arrived In New York after a very tiresome Journey and hur ried on to their new home at West Side, Iowa, where they remained for seven years. Theyhad a long ing to try a new country and again Today The Hill Billy Says , Cougars nntl Wild Cats Warren Martin came here Febru ary 2, 1882 and he was no -kid then. That's fifty years ago. Today the lit tle limping old man can be heard every day thump-thump, goes his cane on the sidewalk, going to the postofflce with his little fat dog trotting behind. From early spring till fall, from early morn till even tide he Is busy In hlB lovely garden full of good things to eat and flowers galore to please the eye and scent the air with sweet perfumes. And Warren Is a Btory teller. When time hangs heavy rain or snow out side, nothing is so refreshing than to hear him tell old yarns. And he knows many. He was a buckaroo when in his prime. Well acquainted with characters of the old west. He knew Billy the Kid, Revolver. Jack, the Jnmcs Boys and the Younger Bro thers end many others. He roamed the plains and ranges of Montana, VJffoining, Texas, Arizona, Colorado and Iduho. Not a bad man yet he attributes his being left among the JiviiiR to the fact that he was known as one of the quickest on the draw and trigger with a nerve that never "quelched." Anyway, this last storm found me inside his bachelor headquarters vhiie he was telling tne roiiowing:- in the winter or maa or hi that winter we hod such big snow, Roy Jones and I went up Mill creek to cut cord wood. Bunt us a quicKiy made shack-r.wlth poles t and shakes covered with fur boughs nnd about- foot of dirt on top. Lrt a big hole for the smoke from our fire on the dirt floor. "Roy didn't like to work in the snow very much so after we had 10 cords not quite 10 about 9'4 it was he said bed be damned n ne was to buck that snow anymore So I bought his share'of the grub and he left. I. was left alone, but think I to myself 'plenty o'grub, a good place to sleep, ana lots o- woou wnac more'n a feller wants. Went along all rleht for two or three days. But dur- ine the day while working I could nead tne caterwamng oi cougars an around. Somehow or other I've never liked the wailing screech of that animal sounds too mucn jiko a lost woman crying for help. . one nignt, aiong aDout two in the morning a heavy thud woke me up. Something had Jumped on the ground near my oea. wignt mere and then came to my mind, 'cougars smoke hole.' I was on my left side I turned my head around easy-like, and two balls of fire were staring In my face I could feel tho hot breath I could discern all of his white, long sharp teeth I heard a sort of growling gurgling sound. A big cougar had both front feot on the edge of my bed! Now this was a little too cioso to a lion to feel very comfortable. Tell you the truth my nerves were a little shattered. But thinks I to myself Warren think fast.' And my nerve came back that quick. I reached easy under my pillow . and with about tne quicKcst draw i ve ever mauc pulled my trusty 44 Smith and Wes son, stuck tho barrel hard right Into his old neck Just above tho breast bone and pulled. "Tne cougar rcii on nis oactc kickcu little and laid still. I got up. For fear that he might be playing possum I shot him again in the back of the head. Then I tooK tne nro poner and poked him around a bit ho was dead. "I went back to bed. Not over an hour afterward, another thud rose me up I say rose me up It dldn t I didn't have time to rise. For this time It was a wild cat about the size of mv dost over thero and he Jumped right on top of me. I tucked my head under the covers, pulled the blankets ana quut ugnt arouna my head and that wild cat was biting. spitting and scratching tearing away at the aullt something fierce. I let him work on too o' me for about minute thinking 'I'll get your old hide you son-of-a-gun.' I drawed the old 44 again and poked it under its belly from under the covers and let him have It. He rolled off tho bed dcader'n a door nail. "I concluded to stay up tho rest of tho night. Made a big fire and smoked the pipe till daylight. Just as there was daylight enough to sec at all a little dark yet, I heard some thing prowling around the cabin. The door was made or spilt poies wiwi cracks an inch or two between. I ueeked out. I eot lust one peek. I rubbed his nose with mine. Rubbing noses with a panther makes a feller feel kind o' funny. So I fanned my gun fast and another cougar hide was mine. "After I had them skinned two nice lions and a wild cat Uncle John Wagner, Ira Fisher and Roy Jones walked In on me. They wouldn't hardlv believe how I naa Killed mem They would not leave me there alone wnetner or not. bo i went uown ana milked cows for Uncle John the rest of the winter. "Uncle John was married to Mary Bloom. The Blooms made the first wagon tracks into Forest Cove and built the first permanent home In 1862 where Red Charly Fisher now lives. This is groundhog day. He saw his shadow all day. I'm going to keep Warren busy telling stories for the next six weeks. Adios, i they started out with their family oi seven cnuaren, ana tne west was their destination. Leaving West Side by train they came to La Grande, and from there on to their present home at Flora by team and wagons, where they have made' their home since the year 1891. They are happy and contented, still living on tho farm that they home- steaded. All tho children were homo for the occasion. The dinner was brought In by them and was a huge success, Mrs, Rena Bork brought tho wedding cake. After the din ner overyone gathered In the sit ting room and an hour or more was spent in singing hymns that everyone knew. They were accom panied on the organ by Miss Ber ntco Conrad and the musio was greatly enjoyed by all. Tmrty-tnree were present: Mrs. 4-H BOY IS 1931 CHAMPION Courtesy of Extension Service, Tho Holalciii-Fricsian Association of America.
