Cow Hollow farmers are getting "hog minded” now. There is far more hogs in Cow Hollow now than there has ever been before. We guess that Russell Howell has the most but this is the first time that there was not a farmer in the Hol low that did not have some pigs. And there is not a farmer in the Hollow, unless it might be Dale Lim- baught and Earl Heaton, that has enough grain to feed out what pigs he has. Us Hollowites sort of made a “sorry fizzle" on grain last year, but we all hope to do better this next year. Most all of Cow Hollow called on Homer Cates and family New Years Eve and stayed to watch the old year out and the new one in. Jack Parker said “we was crowded in there until if you wanted to talk to some one across the room you had to back out the door and go around the house to the other door and go in.” Homer Cates said “Cow Hollow came in New Year’s eve. We was never so surprised in our lives. Just as we were getting ready to go to bed Dude and Bill Parker and their families came in and I just sup posed they just came over to talk ST M J LO O K AHEAD Never BACK TRIPLEX CLEANED AND PRESSED FREE! it would mean to have the "patience of Job." When Chet Sage's horse died a while back Elza Niccum dragged the carcass up above the canal into the brush and set coyote traps around it and caught two coyotes. Bill Parker shot a coyote up on the canal above his house and it had a trap on its foot.' Bill said that it was about ready to lose the trap, foot and all, for it had chewed it until it was about off. There is still so many coyotes left that we will never miss those three. You can al ways get plenty of coyote music over the air without "tuning in.” And when you get tired of it you can’t shut it off, either. Homer Cates is building a set of improvements on the north side of his father's (Sam Cates) homestead. He expects to clear and put in the rest of Sam's homestead. Russell Howell ran a concrete floor a few days ago. Which re minds us. Last fall Clarence Niccum wanted to get his house moved and set on a concrete foundation. It turned cold and was freezing every night and he was advise "You will have to wait until spring now for the freezing would ruin your foun dation.” He carried his canned fruit into the house to keep it from freez ing. Then the weather changed and we had most a month of nice weather. Then Dude Parker was planning to run the concrete for a basement house and we had another cold snap. Mrs. Sam Cares returned home Friday from a visit in Oklahoma. She had written that she would ar rive Friday evening, but owing to the holiday season and overloaded mails, the letter did not arrive and Mrs. Cates did and no one there to meet her. It just so happened that she ran across Bill Parker and fam ily who were down to a delayed vet eran’s Christmas program and they brought her out home. Dale Limbaugh’s kiddies both have pretty severe colds. In fact most everyone in Cow Hollow has. Clarence Niccum made a trip to the vicinity of Emmett, Idaho, last week with the idea of selling hay. The Tschudy Brothers, a cow out fit, told him that early in the fall they made a trip on this reclama tion project around Nyssa, Vale and Ontario. They were representing their cattle association. They had heard that there was lots of hay over here and it could be bought cheap. But they never saw so much hay and everybody asked $8 per ton. Upon questioning they admitted that they never got off the oiled road. In other words they never got back where the hay was and where we really wanted to sell our hay. 'Tis too bad that while in Ontario they never thought to look up our county agent as their order would have been large and greatly appre Ontario Laundry & Cleaners NYSSA PHONE 99 ONTARIO, O R E. /
