Patch has been figuring an work ing on a plan for some time and has got to the place where he thinks he will be able to generate electricity to amount of one hundred and fifty horse power. If the plan is perfect ed and Mr. Patch thinks it will be, to furnish power for pumping water the coming spring for irrigating the en tire flat and also to furnish electric lights for every home of the flat. It will be a great thing for this part of the county, cutting down the expense of tho Riverside Irrigation and Pow er corrtpany ibout one half or more. The power bills have been fearfully high for the past eight years. E. E. Record and Connie Barton killed about thirty five jack rabbits a few days ago in about three hours. Jack rabbits are quite plentiful and make wholesome poultry feed when ground, salted and peppered. Coyotes are also very fond of the rabbits in any quantity. Coyotes also relish any variety of poultry. I mention this in passing as somebody might not be on to these facts'. J. J. Spicer is just completing a new barn and making a number of other improvements on his place. Mrs. Ellen Webb, an aged lady, who has been suffering with dropsy for some time, is no better at this writ ing. Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Thomas, who left here last spring for. Northern Idaho, returned to the flat a tew days ago and will make this their future home. II. J. Hambleton is completing a new barn on the land purchased from A. R. Grant about one year ago and is also figuring on building an up-to-date cement block house in the near future. The stock holders in the Riverside Irrigation and Power company will have an opportunity to express their sentiments as to whether they want a division in the company on the 26th inst. The expense of the company has been too heavy ever since its organi zation eight years ago. Prospects are good for another land boom the coming spring. Immigrants are coming irr almost every week with the reports that many others are com ing later. The threshing season is not com plete yet a few more crops, however, the threshing crew arc hoping to com plete tho jobs by Christmas. Grain nas yielded mucn better than was thought possible four, or five months ago. The two schools on the flat will close Friday until after New Years The children can have a continual round of pleasure for one week. Col. Drake, of Wciser, is spending some days on his ranch, feeding chick ens, hogs, cattle and horses, however. his age is too much for this job and he has decided to sell this desirable place on terms that any one can buy ten or twenty years at six per cent, Col. Drake wants to retire from active business of -any kind. E. J. Patch sold about two hundred tons of hay to some wealthy sheep men who ore now feeding it on the Island which belongs to Mr. Patch Hay is selling for a good" price a present. Talking about high prices every thing seems to be jumping up hay $11.50 per ton, rye and barley about $2 per 100 pounds, wheat $2.25, corn $1.25 on cob, coal $9.00 per ton, wood $10 per cord which is either high living or living high, with spuds go ing at $2.50 and flour $4.50 it would seem that many a working man will have a hard time before spring and summer rolls around again.
