Sept. 19.—The peo ple in school district 39. near the Hill place, are putting their newly laid-out road into proper shape un der the direction of Barney Crowner. assistant superintendent. Emigrants with prairie schooner* are crowding the highways, some go ing east, but most of them westward. The last battleship cost us wealthy 54.0u0.000. (?) taxpayers about Wouldn't that be just a nice lump sum to put into irrigation? Hut then it wouldn't create quite so many widows and orphans. Uncle Joe Snyder is still out w ith his outfit, threshing from the stack. The little child of William Ellis who has been quite ill. is slowly re covering. Gus Hill has recovered from his re cent sickness. J. W. Wilkinson, father of Mrs. George B. Kidder, was a recent vis itor with his daughter from Walla Walla. Miss Ruth Kidder recently return ed from a six weeks outing with friends at the lakes near Spokane. Charley Kidder is decorating some rooms for Mr. Carpenter in his dwell ing near Oliver's.

Zehrung came up Saturday from Portland, where he is employed •n the roadma-ster's department of th. >. R a- N and before returning ex plained to a number of persons the merits of an invention of his own contrivance, it is called the "Midget Tabulator.” and is a 50 cent substl- ;ute for a $20 tabulator for a type- writer, and consists simply of bits of •upper upon which are impressed a ■K-ale of figures which perform the functions of a guide for the index which follows the numeral bur on the machine. To all intents and purposes this simple contrivance, which takes a ew seconds to slip on and need not oe taken off at all. serves all the purposes of a complicated tabulator. Mr. Zehrung has been for years i practical typewriter operator, contin ually occupied in writing tables, and thus has the fullest practical knowl edge of the needs in the case, so there is nothing theoretical about the de vice. which is as definitely practical as anything can possibly be.
