BIO CATTLE RANCH
One of the big things for Polk coun
ty, of which comparatively little is
known by residents of this' bailwick,
is the improvements now under way at
Bentley, where the Unicome Brothers
are expending large sums of money pre
paratory to the establishment of an ex
tensive Durham and Hereford cattle
ranch. More than $10,000 in improve
ments are being made through the erec
tion of buildings, which include a
handsome bungalow, barns and other
necessary structures of lesser import
ance. The last issue of the Sheridan
Sun gives some information regarding
what is being done on this Grand
Roude place as follows:
"One barn will be i0x.S0, three
stories, costing $4,000, and tho other
will be 52x150, a plain stock farm
barn costing $1,500. The house will
be a $2000 bungalow. The contract for
the house has not yet been let while
Charles Fuqun and John ITulett were
the successful bidders on the barns.
Both are well-known county contrac
tors, the former with John Parker hav
ing built the Sheridan Public school
building. Work was started on the .'t
story barn and the framework is completed.-
The contract calls for its com
pletion by the fifteenth of next month.
It is to be a huge structure sitting on
the side of n lnountuin protected from
the const winds and overlooking the
Rouge River vnllev of the agency. The
hay loft will hold' 150 tons. The tim
ber in the eountains to the rear of the
site is being slashed. The larger ham
for the stock will be built ill the valley
while the residence will nestle on a
mountain bench two hundred yards
distant from the main' burn. Polk

DALLAS HOSPITAL IS EMPTY
Dallas is on one of its periodical, ab
solute health sprees. There is not a pa
tient iu the Dullns hospital. There is
not even a prospect of one. No one hits
written or 'phoned that he was coming.
There have been no operations the past
day or two. When Mrs. S. M. Wingo, of
Falls City, left Sunday the attendants
felt louesome. They were in charge of a
hostelry without a guest. It's rather
hard on the overhead expense they say,
but, they quickly add as though they
might be accused of perfidy, it speaks
mighty . well for the city aud county.
Once last fall aud once last summer
the hospital was empty but usuully
there nro four or more patients. Dallas

EVERYTHING FREE AT

dren in Morning, Grown
Folks in Afternoon
Everybody jump in the water's fine.
And everything is free tomorrow at the
opeuing of Charles K. JJenisou's new
bathing house at the foot of State
street.
Denison has given Sulem something
to bo proud of iu the matter of bathing
and swimming faculties. For some
months past he has been busy on the
new venture which he confidently ex
pects will prove popular during the
warm summer days.
The bath house contains 75 dressing
rooms each of which is lighted with
electricity and well ventilated. These
arc ranged around tho swimming tank
on three sides, the end towards the
river being open so that those who
wish may dive off a float into the
stream.
The tank itself is 25 by 50 feet and
adjustable in depth. Practically any
depth desired may be secured and this
may be varied from a few inches at one
end to several feet at the other. There
is little chance for accidents as the re
leasing of a eatch brings the sniinming
crib to the surface in a few seconds.
Then, too, competent instructors will
be present nt all times so that the timid
ones need have no fear of meeting with
disaster.
Slides, springboards and roller cast
ers are provided us equipment for the
tank and a diving platform is erected at
one end. Valuables may be left in tch
checking room where an attendant is
always present. Shower baths with city
water have been installed and a driiiK
ing fountain will supply ice water to
the thirsty.
Later in the season a parlor for the
Indies is to be instulled on the roof so
that the fair ones may primp and pow
der to their heart's content after a ses
sion in the water. Children will have
the use of the bnths in the morning and
their elders in the afternoon and even
ing. Tomorrnw- Mr. Denison bids nil Snlem
welcome to the bath house and promises
that something new will be shown them.
An admission fee of 25 cents is charged
but this will not bo done tomorrow, the
opening day being free of charge.
