Tho Third Annual Harvest

AN INTERESTING PROGRAMME.
Good Display of Fruits atid Gere&ls
oh Exhibition Notes Uy ths
Way.
On Ttttistlny itftetuoon. the ISth
inst., in compuny with County Clerk
Oliver, we started for the Harvest
Homo picnic in Ktigle valley. Tlie
rido from Union lo Medical Springs
was made in three hours. After par
taking of supper, and indulging in a
bath in the waters of the world re
nowned and popular springs at this
place, owned by Hon. Dunham Wright,
we repaired to bed, feeling much re
freshed. We enjoyed a good night's
sleep and the next morning started
for Sparta where we arrived for dinner.
Hero we met many friends, among
them Hon. J. A. Wright, C. D. Keed,
and others. The town was tilled with
people from every section, on their
way to the picnic, and the little town
of Sparta presented an appearance not
before seen for many years, or since
the mining excitement of early days,
at which time it was one of the best
camps on the const.
There is not a great deal of mining
being done now, some of tho proper
ties being in litigation, whilo others
are in need of capital in oider to de
velop them, yet there aro a few placer
claims and quart, ledges being worked
near by which tire paying well. There
are ti great many rich prospects in the
vicinity, and in time will be developed.
We were shown some very line samples
of ore from the various ledges, which
were very rich with gold.
In the afternoon wo took our de
parture for Eagle valley and sifter a
drive of one hour and a half across
the barren and dry bills, came in sight
of the Garden of Kden Eagle valley.
The sight, as viewed from the high
elevation, is indeed grand. Nearly
tho whole valley is under cultivation
;if alfalfa, and the beautiful green
fields, dotted with comfortable dwell
ing houses, and orchards laden with
all kinds of fruit, and tho immense
stacks of hay, are indeed evidences of
thrift and prosperity among tho fortu
nate dwellers there. After descending
the hill we soon arrived at the home
of our edicient deputy sheriff, W. H.
Usher, whore wo Ave re to stay during
our visit to tho valley. Uight bore we
will say that "Uncle Hill" and his e.-ti-niablo
wife are comfortably located on
on one of the best ranches in the val
ley. Here wo met Mr. John Hlliott
and wife and Mrs. .1. M. Johnson, of
this city, and to say that we all en
joyed tho hospitality of our good
natured host aad hostess does not
oxpross it.
Thursday morning about 0 o'clock
wo all drove down to tho grounds
known as Swisher's grove, whore tho
picnic was to bo held. Tho beautiful
grovo was astir with people from every
section and soon tho entire crowd had
arrived. A large platform had been
erected for Use of the band and choir,

sold, anil about dusk the young people
began to trip the light fantastic, and
kept it up till daybreak.
The exhibit of fruit, vegetables and
fancy work was very large. We
would like to give the names of tho

the rush of otlier matters was unable
to secure thein at the time. We have
written to the secretary for the list but
it did not arrive in time for this issue.
It was the intention of the manag

We desire to return thanks to tho
many kind and hospitable people ol
Faglo valley who so kindly offered us
"food and dielter" while in the valley,
and especially to Mr. and Mrs. Usher.
It was impossible to accept all the
kind invitations received. May you
all live long and prosper is the best
wish of Tun Scout.

Ammonia Baking
Bills have been introduced in the New York, Illinois
and Minnesota Legislatures compelling the manufacturer
of such baking powders to brand on the label in bold type,
this powder "Contains ammonia." Physicians and chem
ists condemn the use of ammonia in baking powders as a
crime. Its constant use no matter how small the quantity
deranges the stomach, neutralizing the gastric juice and
destroying the complexion. It is tho small quantities taken
every meal that do the mischief.
It is gratifying to know there aro pure baking powders
to be had on the market and at no greater cost to the
consumer than some of these so-called "absolutely pure"
ammonia powders.

THE WOOLEN MILL.
It Will Not bs Constructed ns Soon as
Anticipated.
Mr. A. K. Krtton. who has been in the
eastern states for some time pn-t examin
ing tho machinery nnd conferring with
parties with a view of establishing a wool
en mill here, returned home hist Friday.
We regret to announce that he was unable
to make satisfactory nrranceutents bv
which the mill could be built this full and
that (ho machinery owned bv the parties
who have been correspondinir with Mr.
Knton is not of the latest pattern nnd what
Is desired for the mill here. However, Mr.
Eaton vNited several otlier mills and
gathered n great deal of information in
regard to the business and the best machin
ery adapted for this trade, and is not in
the least discouraged over the prospects.
In an interview with him in regard to tho
matter, he informs us that he is in constant
receipt of letters of inquiry in regard lo the
mill and thinks that It will not bo long ero
arrangements can be made for the estab
lishment of a mill here, lie takes a right
view ofj (hp matter and is of the opinion
that if we cannot get the right machinery,
with n good aud competent man with suf
ficient interest in the enterprise to carry
on the business on u paying bais, it is best
to not hnvo a mill ut all ; but Mr. ICaton is
confident of success in the near future and
will , continue, ns in the past, In his on
drmor to secure it.
There Is no doubt but this is the best
location in the state for a woolen mill, and
