nre of being entertained at the beau

Jackson near Kagle Point on Sun
day last. This is an ideal home, and
Mr. Jackson and family have ex
pended several thousands of dollar?
in beautifying and improving the
ranch and tastefully arranging the
flowers nnd fruits. It would not
be good taste to speak of the delic
ious strawberries and duscious fruits
that graced the family board and the
inviting edibles that Mrs. Jackson
and her accomplished daughters
served at tho dinner hour, but we
cannot refuse to mention the de
lightful entertainment, neither to omit
an expression of the courteous and
refined hospitality of Mr. Jackson
and his interestie family. We may
write up this attractive place in the
future.

liobert N'eil and Mr. Mitchell were
here last week hunting for stock cat
tle. The surveying crew is camped near
Castor's and pushing the road along

that the construction work will be
contracted. Nearly all rights of way
have been secured and those holding
out are unite likely to enjoy litiga
tion, as land that was of littlo value
before the advent of the railroad has
suddenly become very valuable. It is
no use to try and hold up the rail
mad, for it is going and will be push
ed through; but if it can be done
without friction it would bo much
more pleasant and profitable for all
concerned.
Indications are strong for rain,
which is necessary to extinguish the
destructive forest fires burning
around.
