Peterson and the Mumps. Editor Pbess: Will you kindly allow me space in your valuable paper to thank my many friends who were so at tentive to me while sick with my recent illness Mr. Mumps (parotitis.) Espec ially do I wish to thank certain of my brother Knights' of Pythias. Such at tention to one far from kindred and old acquaintances, and practically a strang er, makes one realize more than ever the humanity of man to man and the close ties of fraternity. In my opinion, mumps is the most bigoted, conceited, consum mate ass that ever entered the threshold of my anatomy. It is one of those egre gious, dastardly, pusillanimous visitors that make doctors laugh, preachers swear and lawyers pray. Could I have my way about the status of its future, I would madly burl it into the middle of Hades where it would keep company forever with the foul fiends of the lone some damned, and deodorize the sul phurous flames with its disintegrating effluvium. But being powerless to su pervise its imprecatory would-be ubiq uity, I bid it a long, but disafiectionate farewell. .-Wili, M. Peterson. , , Hay Vote lili Hand. John Parks, sheepman of Gilliam county may lose a hand-as the result of the bursting of a gun. He was visiting relatives at Weston and on Tuesday af ternoon he was out on the old Deardorff place on the mountain hunting with a muzzle-loading shotgun, one barrel con taining a double charge. Seeing a cou gar, he took a shot at it, with results far more disastrous to himself than to the frightened beast"; which escaped unin jured. Tbe gun ' burst into fragments and tbe entire paliajsf Mr. Park's band was blown out, the ghastly wound ex tending to the wriat. He also lost the two middle fingers and one-half of tbe index finger. Leader. Y J 15 THE HAB7F.3T FIELD. Ales Johnavas Get S3 Buthel of Wheat Ter Acre. Harvesting in the Athena wheat dis trict has progressed far enough so that an estimate of the yield can be made. All machines, including the big steam ers, are at work, the beading crews hav ing a considerable amount of grain in the stack. The grain in this neighbor hood is of splendid quality, in fact there is little if any wheat that will grade No. 2. The quality is on a par with the grades of any of the best yields in form er years, the grain being plump and hard and the kernals iarge and of good color,. There is no yield reported to the Press so far that comes under 32 bu Bhels per acre. Thirty-two bushels p?r acre is the lowest yield reported and 53 the highest. This latter average per acre comes from the farm of Alex John son, north of town. This field has shown up better at all stages of the growing season than other fields, and its extra ordinary yield, season considered, is no surprise to those who saw the standing grain. From all authentic reports coming to the Press, the yield of grain in this im mediate ricinity will average from 35 to 40 bushels per acre. There is scarcely a field that will not make 30 Sushels and many are going over 40 bushels per acre. The following crop notes were gath ered at random and serve the purpose of giving an idea.of what the general yield will be: T. J. Kirk's barley crop netted him 50 bushels per acre. . The Willaby place east of ( tow a gave up a crop of excellent wheat, the aveiage per acre being 87 bushels. . In the first field harvested by Alex Kirk the average is given at 46 bushels, though the reportr gives us to under stand that another field will make 50 bushels. . Another field on the reservation in which a combine is working netted 158 sacks from 7) acres, this being the re sult of the machine's first round in the field. Leader: The Hartman - Baddeley threshing outfit began operations in the firm's fall wheat near the Weston depot. The "crop failure" in these parts it, not altogether total, as 80 acres yielded 1680 sacks, or an average of 47 bushels per acrel Moreover this wheat, jed chaff, tested 62 pounds. From tbe first set ting 939 sacks were piled in the field, which is juBt about a record breaker for a single setting. Wheat in the Helix locality is yielding from 30 to 35 bushels per acre and one of the most important features of the crop is that nearly the entire yield is first grade wheat, weighing from 60 to 62 pounds per bushel. So far in that vicinity scarcely any second grade wheat has been found. Leader: W. II, Stamper was out on Lamar gulch two miles north of Athena, Tuesday. Harder Bros, were at work in their barley there with a 32-inch Ad vance, steam power, and for a time made the remarkable record of five sacks of barley per minute. ' Thirteen acres of barley yielded 477 sacks, or over 86 sacks per acre. Their wheat is averaging about 35 bushels. nnirnn UOI Pays highest prices for grain. Does general storage business.
