cause of bringing them to blows was
the crowd of grown men that gathered

Hi

at J. W. Sibley's ; 4 .miles northeast
Strawberry.
Owing to the snow the wheat Is not
hurt unless it Is some that had just
swollen and not sprouted. In such a
case as this the severe freeze Is liable
to have killed the germ and when it
warm up the grain will perhaps rot.
The freeze played havoc with the
fruits, eggs and potatoes. There were
but few people that had cellars tight
enough to keep 'Mr. 'Jack Frost from
creeping In, but there is no reports of
him taking anything away, but as the
darkle says, "He spiled mose every
thing he put hi: fingers on",
It has taken lots of wood and those
that thought they had plenty of wood
find themselves wondering where they
can get more, to be ready for another
winter In case one should happen along
again before summer opens up.

Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Morey are on
the sick list this week. They were
both confined to the bed at the same
time. It is believed nothing serious
is the matter more than a light attack
of the grippe. Mr. Morey was one of
the men that helped convey the re
mains of Grandpa Musgrave to Dixie
cemetery, In Washington, and perhaps
took cold on the journey, as it was a
long cold trip to drive a team on such
a special occasion.

received two full blood Black Langshan
hens and three full blood Barred Ply
moth Rock cockerels, from Harris
burg, last Saturday. One of the cock
erels was for the "Old Man", who will
place it with his bunch of B. P Rocks. '
P. M. Christenson & Son, the proprie
tors now have two of the best laying
strains of chickens on the coast. The
Black Langshan, which is practically
a new chicken to this part of the coun
try, is almost a non-setter and a good
layer. The cockerel that will be used
with this bunch of Langshans was from
a setting of eggs imported from Salem
Indiana, by the Editor of this sheet,
and is a thorough bred. See the ad
of the Swede Canyon Farm in this
issue.
