GOLDEN VALLEY CHRONICLE
Our way of doing business is your way.
Scene opens) in modern Golden Val
ley heme. Time: Last of August.
James Moore, an elderly gentleman,
was sitting talking to his wife, Re
becca, by him more commonly called
Beckv. Mr. Moore waa a man with
great force of character and he al
ways wore a pleasurable smile. He re
minded one of the advertisements
used by a large milling firm to promote
their best brand of Hour. Mr Moore
and hig wife reminded one of the
play "Way down East," that so many
have seen in childhood days.
Mr. Moore was looking at a calen
dar on the wall and remarked "Just
two months 'til election when we de
cide the county seat. Those Sentinel
Butte fellows are putting up quite a
scrap, they say. Th-jre it. Crawford
and Robinson who never speak to
each other in Sentinel Butte out
working like a well mated team. 1
don't think they have much argument
but they are like a couple of twin
volcanoes down among the buttes.
They're making a lot of noise.
"Well, Julia has finished her educa
tion in Beach," said Mrs. Moore and
the likes the schools there and says
the has met some fine people. 1 be
lieve we ought to have the county
seat where our children go to school,
for then when we have any business
at the courthouse we can go into town
and be with them1 while we attend to
it.
"Yes," added Mr. Moore, "and
those Beach fellows have always been
right with us farmers."
"Do you remember how that hanch.
zr's wife in Sentihel Butte knocked
he Golden Vallev to me when we first
came out?" questioned Mrs. Moore.
"Some say they really didn't have
••ny confidence in the country but I
hink they knew the country was al
ight, for a great many had raised
some grain or corn, and it was their
selfish interests., They didn't want to
lose all the grazing land which was
free."
"Beach ought to have the county
seat all right even if some have a
little prejudice against a few there,
concluded Mr. Moore.
"I remember when I couldn't sell
my butter and eggs in Sentinel Butte.

The First Impression
By J. M. Baer
"Mrs. Moore replied, saying, this
cold weather coming on worries me
and I do net think that I can spend
another winter here."
There was a rap at the door. Mr.
Moore said,"come in,"and a doctor en
tered and se:d:"l cam'i to see how Mrs.
Moore is this evening." he took her
temperature, felt her pulse and ad
dressing Mr. Moore, said: 1 think
Jim, you will have to take Mrs.
Moore to California this fall. She
cannot stand another winter here and
the fact of the matter is I think you
had both better go. It would be
good for rheumatism.
"The only way we could go is to
sell this land. I couldn't leave it
with Julia and while I like the Golden
Valley, 1 wouldn't want to go away
without selling it as someone would

have to look atter it. You know, Doc, I
like this country and 1 like the people,
but health comes ahead of anything
else and I want to take Becky away
where she wil enjoy life and get well."
The doctor wrote the prescription
and said, "I would advise a change of
climate for her and if she does not
improve after taking this medicine for
a week, I would urge that yau take
her away immediately." Walking to
ward the door he concluded, "Hope
Mrs. Moore feels better after tonight's
rest. Cood bye, Jim."

So long, Doc," returned Mr. Moore
as he drew his big arm chair over to
where Mrs. Moore was seated and
carressed her, saying "You'll be al
right in a few months."
How much trouble I cause in this
world and what expense it will be to
go way out there she said.
I would give anything I have in
this world for you, Becky, You don't
have to worry about the expense. You
have stuck to m'a through thick and
thin and what we have is yours just
as much as it is mine."
Just then Julia, their daughter, wh
is a charming young girl with a win
ning personality, entered, saying,
"Ben Knocker just rode up to the
gate—1 hope he don't come in."
Ben Knocker, son of Archibald
Knocker, cattle king, rushed in with
out rapping and inquires if anyone
has seen a yearling with N bar N on
her' left shoulder.
No said Mr. Moore, "but about
ten head of your cattle are down in
my flax field and if you don't keep
them out of there they will have some
buckshot to digest with that flax fibre.
I was They ain't my pa's cattle,
and I want to find that calf," interrup
ted Knocker.
"They will have to send a real cow
boy out after two calves, next" Mr.
Moore added.
Ben, slightly chagrined, walked to
ward the door where Julia was stand
ing. He pulled at one of her bonnet
strings but she resented him, and as
Mr. and Mrs. Moore were carrying on
a low conversation, Ben seeing that no
attention was being paid to them he
tried to steal a kiss from Julia. She
pushed him back just as a rap was
heard on the partly open door.' Julia
opened it and found Robert Landem,
who had been paying her considerable
attention of late. Ben Knocker bare
ly got out without assistance. Lan
dem was a hustling young business
man with sterling qualities. He
thought a great deal of the Moore
family and especially of Julia. In fact
it had been runtored that they were
engaged but no one could substantiate
the claim1 by any evidence but the
fact that he had asked a Beach
jeweler the price of a diamond ring.
Robert stood smiling at Julia, "Will
you go over to a barn dance at
Brown's next Tuesday with me? he
