J E Cochran came up to Valen
tine I uesday evening and left next
morning for Sioux City for a short
business trip Mr Cochran is in fa

Now it the other men who are inter
ested in this proposed telephone line
will get together it can be put up
this fall

Wm Ferdon is in favor of a tele
phone counection to the ranches and
post offices through the south part of
the county and will make his home in
Valentinewhen his ranch can be
reached with a telephone The cost
will be small compared with the good
of this line for both the ranchmen
who need occasionally to send to town
for medical aid and those who can
constantly be benefitted by it
Branch lines can be connected with
this main line connecting different
ranches to great advantage
Miss C 1 ira Rogersand Elsie V Bax
ter of Fremont and Cara Carpenter of
Vaiiey were brought to Woodlake
by S S McClean from near Brownlee
where they have been holding down
claims during the past week and
took the passenger train Tuesday
morning Mr McClean helped with
carrying some of their belongings on
board and seemed to have some hesi
tancy in saying good by to them
The train stopped down by the stock
yards for him to get off It takes
more time than they allow while the
train stops at Woodlake to say
J good by to three fair maidens We
would sugirest that Mr McClean take
advantage of the cruel train men
I next time by beginning his adieus be
fore the train comes in Sam takes
it goodnaturedly and says they locked
the door on him and he couldnt get
out Well we would object to being
locked up in a car under ordinary cir
cumstances but we are inclined to
the opinion that one of the fair just
one girl is enough to chain the ordi
narj young man and Sam cant ba
blamed at all for there were three oi
them
