There was a social dance at Mr. Hab erman's near Laural Grove Saturday night and everyone that I saw report having had a good time. The 8rd crop of hay is growing fine and some of it will be ready to cut in two weeks. The smoky weather is good for hay that i growing bnt makes it hard to cure when cut. Word was reoeived from Joe McFad den who went to Nome, Alaska, this summer that work is scarce in that plaoe this summer and that they have not had any summer rains at all so far and if it does not rain the mines will do nothing much this season. Applegate River is the lowest this summer that it has been for many years owing to the many ditches that are taken out of it . It will not be many years before it will be entirely dry and then you will begin to hear them quarrel about one another taking more than their share. We are all looking forward tor the Rural Route np this side of the river and hope that the proper number of names on be got on the petition. It requires the hada of 100 families on the petition before they will grant us a route. We have tried several other kinds of petitions but so far have failed to have any of them granted.
