NEWSY POWELL PARAGRAPHS
FROM NELSON’S TRIBONE,
* OF PROMINENT PEOPLE
The Farlow building is rapidly ap
proaching completion and gives pro
mise of being a structure of hand
some proportions and design.
Miss Lascb, principal of the Powell
schools, was called home Saturday by
the death of one of her sisters at
Winona, Minn.
Mrs. S. G. McWilliams, mother ot
Mrs. McWilliams, sustained a pain
ful fracture of the arm last Sunday
morning as a result of a fall while
leaving the Sheehy residence.
BORN—To Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Ha
zen Sunday morning, October eighth,
a bouncing youngster destined to take
precedence In future years as the eld
est son. Dr. Lewellen was the attend
ing physician. Mr. Hazen is a mem
ber of the Government staff of engi
neers.
Janies I. Broadwater of Hunter,
Okla.. filed last week on unit “C” in
60 and will establish residence at
once. Mr. Broadwater will make good
from the jump—he has it in him and
he is here for that purpose. Success
and thrice welcome to the Boardwater
family.
E. D. Jewett left last Friday for his
old home at Balston, Minn., at which
place he will spend the winter. We
shall be sadly mistaken and mightily
disappointed also if this man Jewett
doesn’t show up within a few months,
married and otherwise reinforced for
permanent citizenship here on the
Shoshone project.
R. W. Marshall, who has been for
the past two weeks or so the guest ot
his brother. Cashier Marshall, start
ed on h*B return trip Saturday for his
home in Manama, Neb., with the inten
tion of making a short stay in Billings
en route. Yr. Marshall made many
friends while >ere asd we extend to
him a hearty welcome should he ever
decide to locate here, as it is reported
that he has some thoughts of doing.
Geo. B. Kerper, Jr., now of Boze
man, Mont., desires to know of any
one who is in position or who Is in the
business of driving wells. Mr. Ker
per filed recently on Ralston unit land
and is desirous of having a well drill
ed on his place.
Ferdinand Schnieder of Waterloo.
lowa, was among the number of
solid citizens to file on Ralston unit
land during the past week. Mr.
Schneider will be out next spring with
his family and otherwise prepared to
become one of us henceforth and for
evermore. Here’s welcome to the
Schneider family.
L. Woody returned home to New
ton, lowa, the first of this week with
the mission of bringing the good wife
and the household appurtenances to
Powell with a view of establishing
his residence permanently on his
ranch near Ralston. Mr. Woody had
intended to wait until winter had at
least partially abated its rigors before
coming to Powell for good, but now
concludes that this is as good place
as any In which to pass the cold sea
son. In all of which he has of course
our hearty concurrence.
Wednesday morning, the day after
the Harry Hall fire, was the occasion
of another destructive fire and as on
the previous day we have to chroni
cle a total loss. This time, Fred Miller
was the unfortunate. There was no
one at the ranch at the time, Mrs.
Miller being in town and Mr. Miller
with the threshing crew at the Craw
ford place. House and contents were
entirely destroyed. It Is thought that
the fire may have caught from a de
fective chimney. There was no insur
ance. We trust that this blow may
not be an insuperable obstacle to the
prosperity of the miller family and
that a new home may soon rise on the
ashes of the old.
There will be a meeting of Alcyone
Chapter, O. E. S., to-morrow (Satur
day) at 3:30 p. m. to discuss plans for
the entertainment of the Cody dele
gation on the occasion of the ap
proaching official institution of the
Chapter.
Tickets for the lecture course ot
the Powell Library Club are now on
sale and they are going fast. Tho
course will be far and away the best
attraction of the winter’s entertain
ments. Don’t miss It.
Mrs. Stock has been supplying for
Miss Lasch, temporarily absent this
week. It is reported that Mrs. Stock
will be engaged permanently In tho
third and fourth grades.
Mr. C. E. Wetmore, after a pleas
ant visit with the Perrin family, and
an inspection of some of our school
lands, left Wednesday on his return
to Wakita, Oklahoma.
Gilbert E. Gowey announces the sale
this week of the Knespel forty, north
west of and adjoining the town, to J.
L. Ennis for the ridiculously low fig
ure of SI7OO. Mr. Ennis is a half
brother of Mrs. Farlow, the connec
tion. though remote. with the enter
prising proprietor of Powell’s new
hostelry being sufficient to indicate
that Mr. Enuis is of the right stuff to
make thingH hum on this excellent
piece of land. Mr. Knespel, it Is un
derstood, will leave shortly for the
beet fields of Colrado.
Alfalfa is weighing out four tons
to the acre from first two cuttings,
and netting the farmer $6 per ton, t.
o. b. cars, or $24 per acre; third cut
ting and fall feed Is worth at least
$7.00 per acre, making a net income
per acre of s3l.
Lynn & Arnolds, the Lovell firm ot
contractors whose bid for the con
struction of the system of drainage
ditches for the Shoshone project was
the lowest, have gone East to secure
the machinery necessary for the suc
cessful as well as expeditious prose
cution of the work. We are Informed
that It is their intention to have the
dirt flying in good earnest within the
next ten days or less. Here’s hoping
that no hard freeze occurs before
Christmas to interfere with the speedi
est handling possible of the proposi
tion they are up against.
J. W. Wight and son of Utica, N. Y.,
were here for a day or two this week
looking over the country, with plans
for stock raising worrying their minds.

farm east of town and Mr. Hooper will
return soon and invest in some of our
choice dirt.
