Any one who has not been out in the
'country, and who thinks that all the
crops are burned out by drought,
should disabuse his mind of that
idea. We saw some fields of small
grain- -ami a good many of them
that would give half a crop or more
if rain would come soon. Flax looks
as good as usual, and corn could not
be better. The shortage in the
small -grain and hay crops is caus
ing those who have corn field.- to
carefully culivate them,and the corn
is showing the results of such un
usual care. On the way we saw two
fields of winter rye, already shock
and the shocks quite close together.
If rain would come at once, there
would be very far from a total crop
failure this season in these parts.

writing for both: "We thought that:
perhaps our Linton friends might
care to know how we are situated in
our new California home. We like
it very much and think it an ideal
place in which to live. We are both
feeling in much better health since
we came here. Especially is this
true of Mr. Brock, who seems to
have taken a new lease of life, and
is getting around here like some
young man. We are certainly for
innate in securing such a pretty
home as we have all eipiipped for
us to go to work and make our liv

County Celebrate the Oav.
However, the fact that none of
the principal towns of the county
celebrated the day did not cause th
people of the county forget that
they were Americans, native-born
or naturalized, and not many staid
at home numerous neighborhood
affairs serving as a medium for ol
sen ing the day.
1 he principal celebration in the
county was at Shier's Crovo, Cay
ton. Ibis was attended by well up
to a thousand people. There was an
oration by Attorney Cameron
game of base ball and the usual races
and other sports.
Some of the Emmons county folks
went to Bollock and a few to Eure
ka, where the day was being cele
brated.
I here was a large picnic gather
ing, also, in the Dakem neighbor
hood, at Horner's Crove, some four
or live hundred people being pros
ent.
A large number from the Hazelton
country and front the eastern part
of tlie county went to the celebra
tion at Napoleon, many of them at
traded by the game of base ball be
tween Hazelton and Napoleon. Al
though the day was about as uncom
fortable as could be imagined heat,
a high wind and a dust storm all
combining to make things disagree
able there was the biggest crowd
assembled that the Logan countv
capital has ever had within its
borders. There were games of all
sorts, an address by the editor of
the Record, and two base-ball con
tests. The first was Hazelton-Napo
leon, resulting IT to 1 in favor ol
the former, and a game between
Kintyreand Burnsted, which tin
Emmons county team won out. A
foot race between I'aul Kurt/
Hazelton and a Logan county man
was won by Kurtz. The people of
Napoleon did everything possible to
make the day an enjoyable one for
the visitors.
An accident at Shier's Crove and
one at Napoleon marred the pleasure
of the day. At Shier's a son of John
Ifhihauser was injured by a buggy
in which he was riding tipping over.
He was severely hurt, but at latest
reports wa.- ail right.
At Napoleon, in the evening just,
before dark, a young man named
r-ylvanus .Johnson, residing west of
Napoleon in Logan county near the
Emmons county line, started to give
a broncho-riding exhibition. The
horse reared and fell squarely back
on him, the front and rear of the
saddle striking the rider in the
chest and stomach. When the writer
left Napoleon 'Tuesday noon it was

would recover.
