[ Over the County SOUTHWEST BREEZES By Romaine Saunders Whatever else the New Deal has dope, Mutt and Jeff are still with us. , — Doris Carpenter is up from Bur well visiting relatives ip this com munity. Well, nobody can say the Cleve land convention “just went thru a. form.” ■ There are more than grass roots out this way. The stems are half the height of a horse. Landon booms may be all right but most of us in Holt cdunty vbould prefer a boom with the on left off. Mr. and Mrs. Casper Addison and two little sons, with Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, visited Sunday afternoon at the Saunders home. Mrs. Withers just returned from Colorado where she visited her mother who is in declining health. Her son, Harold Chapman, came from Sioux Falls and took her with hlra. ji ! i __ ; The professional gentleman,mer chant, mechanic or statesman elig ible for hymeneal happiness will not be searching the booze bars for 1 feminine beer sipper and cigar te puffer as a mate to head his Household. As to replacing Franklin * IX in tie White House, a democrat will t dl you it can’t be done. There i$ a three-to-one majority down this way who are favoring the re placement*— more than that; they are doing something about it. • An unusual sight an evening last week. With a full moon hung to the south a rainbow curved across I a clear space in the otherwise * ilouded northern heavens. It was a picture in the original of the beauty spread by the brush of na ture on the canopy of a night sky. i H. L. James and Charley Peter sen left a week ago for Texas. New Mexico and other White Face cattle Actions of the west with the view oij purchasing cattle to help bor, f virt a part of our grass-grown hills and valleys into marketable beef. Both of these gentlemen are ranging many cattle this season but there is room for as many more. I An airplane droned across the southwest a day recently, headed notrth by northeast. A search for the beys’ field glasses to get a clpser view disclosed that they had probably taken ? them tp the lake wijth them and by that time the loi^e ship of the air was disappear ing among the clouds far to the north. I |1 l ||. * ' • kany in this community were grieved to learn of the sudden death at Atkinspn of Mr. McMin des. He was the ring manager at the Weller sale pavillion and had no equal as a judge of horses. Quick and alert he made an ideal ring manager for a sale and his sudden takjng off is greatly, to be regretted. ! _ Whether the joke is on the writ er pr on the printer, our neighbor across the corner may be tossing his! sombrero and big boot(S to the discard and assume the role of an M. ; D. since being referred to in thi^ column as doctor. We thought we jhad written his name De Lance, but] somehow it appeared Dr. Lance andj'now maybe the neighbors will feel justified in addressing our ex pert cow man as doc. Lester Thompson got enough of Canadian agricultural opportuni ties1 and has disposed of his inter ests acquired there some two years agoj and has returned to the allur ing, southwest, recently locating dow|n by the lake. Once charmed by (the beauty, the freedom, the wealth of our grass-covered prair ies and abundantly watered vales, you’jre not at home elsewhere. i ; - Recently a fine letter came from our old friend John Brennan, eldest son 'of the late Col. Neil Brenann of (p’Neill. He is at Salt Lake City and speaks with considerable feelihg of old friends in Holt county. A fragrant pressed rose was enclosed with the letter, John feeli#g it is more appropriate to ^giv^ a flower ‘ now than to strew theih on the mound after being numbered among those lying in the Silent City.

A valley on both sides of the creek, slightly rolling towards the stream, where there is one of the nicest artificial lukes in the county. The lake is privately owned and. is known as Cotton lake, and is filled with trout. The lake adjoins Pete’s land. It is fed by immense springs and comprises about four acres of deep fresh water. Trespassing notices appear from all angles but the temptation to examine the construction was too great to resist. The construction appeared simple. The water is ob structed to a certain height with a cement dam reinforced with a dike on the outside ond, course gravel on the inside, tapering back pretty well into the lake. The spillway and the chute are made of cement, and protected by a wire mesh to avoid the loss of trout over the dam. They say freshets have no effect on the lake as it is several feet above the stream. It is as nice a resort as theie is in the county, but could be dupli cated several pluces along our own streams that once abounded with trout and with no notices visable for those who happened along. Next we went over and viewed the crops that looked very nice, compared to what we have had for several years, but owing to the general crop prospect being good, the attraction was not so strong. When we passed thru a huge grove where the dense foliage and vines almost obliterating the sunlight, where raspberries and choke cher ries and other wild fruit grew in among the native trees, it was a treat for anyone who enjoys na ture’s handiwork. The man that used to own this place, 1 understand, was a fellow by the name of Sehaff, an old timer, I suppose. As it looks to me he spent a small fortune on im provements and owing to a condi tion caused by a general depres sion, lost out like a good many others, thru no fault of their own, and had to surrender it after a good deal of worry and discomfort. It looks to me as if this man made a wonderful attempt to provide and establish a comfortable and commodious home for himself and family, and deserves a good deal of credit. The buildings are all well plan ned and substantially built. The house almost new, 28 by 28, with a basement. The horse barn is 24 by 36 by 14. There are two large cattle barns, combination crib and granary, two hog houses with pens and alleys, a double garage, two windmills and two large hen houses. With a half section of land and this equipment, I’ll ven ture to say that Pete doesn’t in tend to live in a trailer for some time to come. *** A BOOK IS NOT JUDGED BY ITS COVER, NOR A MAN BY HIS AP ,' 1 Ml.
