Harlan
Harlan is still on the map.
Road work is wound up for the
year.
Farmers have most of their Fall
grain sown, sotatoes dug, apples
picked, their Fall hauling done,
their hogs in the pen, and now the
next thing is to get them fat. We
have had an ideal Fall. The grass
is almost like Spring time. Stock
is lucking fine for this time of
year. f
The goats and Bheep are getting
a little rest the last few days since
the people have a little time to
hunt. Asa Brown killed two wild
cats, three coons and a bear.
Clines, Youngs and Grants have
killed three wild cats, two coyotes
and crippled another one. They
didn't get the crippled one as the
I dogs lost it in the river and it
wasn't a forked-toed coyote either;
it was the genuine stuff. Ben
Young will vouch for this for the
coyotes have killed between seventy-
five and a hundred kids for him.
Mr. Lawndon has also lost all of
this years' crop of kinds. We ex
pect to clean the varmints out now
if our dogs hold out. We have
fifteen old dogs and twelve pups,
not counting what comes in from
Little Elk.

tune to get his shoulder broken by
falling from a horse. He was tak
en to P. H. Martin's and Dr. Smith

arrived at Harlan in anout four
hours and set the shoulder, and he
must have done a good job for the
gentleman walked home, about two
miles, the next day. Mr. and Mrs.
' Hearnden of Fossil, brother in law
and sister of B. F. Grant, who lived
on Big Elk thirty years ago, have
been visiting here this week. They
say that the country has improved
so much and so many changes
taken place that they hardly recog
nize the place. Mr. Hearnden is
suffering from a cancer on his lip
and came to Porltand for treat
ment, and concluded, as he was
so near, that they would make a
visit bnck to their old home and
relatives.
Our rustling storekeeper is mak
ing his regular trips with his
freight team. It is surprising how
much freight comes to Harlan com
pared with forty years ago. The
mailcarrier goes and comes as re
gular as clock work. He is very

about bhd roada. All right, Ed,
they will be better soma time.
