The part of the crop that is hauled in bulk is largely in the elevators in the Moro district and is probably half in from Grass Valley south- The figures showing the amount of wheat that has been received by the warehouses north of Hay Canyon have not been gathered to date but for Moro and Grass Valley districts they show that there b considerably more wheat than last year- Just how much can not be determined until it is all hauled. There is the following quantities of wheat in the warehouses and ' . , - elevators below: >■ 67,688 Hay Canyon 6 289 Nish 17,552 DeMoss 100,446 Moro Erskine । 67.367 Grass Valley 14,767 Bourbon 30.467 Kent f 18,667 Wilcox 393 Total p 690 Moro district is The total for the which 156,865 262,521 bushels of bushels is bulk wheat- This is ap­ proximately three fifths of the amount hauled to date.

Saturday night a fire destroyed a building in Grass Valley- It was a bam, but such a bam as has seidom been seen in this county where barns are normally of prosaic appearance and of strictly utilitarian design- v This barn was in a class by itsel . It had a chandelier in the stable, and a matched tongue and groovj floor for her riibs. the cow, to stand upon- There was a bay window for the cow to gaze out of when she felt the urge to watch her neighbors- There was a front door finished in the ornate design oj another y ; when fancy wood carving was con­ sidered a mark of distinction. The cow ate her fodder from a bath tub under an electric light bulb in the chandelier that ehone upon the neatly papered watl with a. much splendor as it did when ‘he house was occupied by human kind- In milking the cow, one aat in the parlor where hundreda of peraoas had Mt before, women playing at bridge or whiat as the stylish, card game happened to be in the days when thrl Williams wfco had come to thè growing settlement of Grass Valley V set' up business in his trade. Later as times grew more prosperous in the Williams menage he moved the house to the place where it had stood for years- Ho decorated his yard with rose bushes, with trees and planted a lawn. His wife entertained, his children grew up around the house and it looked prosperous.
