Ever compare the expense of a city store with the expense of
a country store i Look at their high rents , water taxes , heavy
insurance , and a dozen other items that a country store don't
have. Then does it look
reasonable that they can sell you
goods cheaper than we can. If you are ready for your spring
purchase come in and see our stock and get our prices. "Will

ing a lull which juts into the valley we
saw "Arkansas Hob's" place , and drove
up shortly after. . 13ob was asleep in a
tent , but came out with his usual
cheeiy greeting when our presence was
made known. Despite his remonstran
ces we stopped but a few minutes after
taking a hastv glance at his extensive
sheds and corrals , and then drove
across the valley about half a mile to
Richardson's. After putting the horses
away and eating one of those bountiful
meals for whose proluction Mrs.
Kichavdson is justly celebrated , we
were ready for bed. Rising early \ve
took a look around the'place , which is
in ail ideal location Water for both
house and barns is furnished by a
copious spring of splendid water and
here we sau one of those old spring
houses like the ones our grandmothers
were always so proud of. About nine
o'clock Bob Gillaspie and I took a
horseback ride across the hills , passing
Teeters Bros. ' place , onto the Gordon
and up to Jebbe Gorsuch's. On the I
way we saw a small portion of the
herds which occupy this range and are
being br d up with Short Horn bulls.
All cattle wercr looking well , and the
range was in good condition. JJob re
cently bought Ira Richardson's place ,
and this will give him plenty of hay.
The cattle belonging to himto , Ira Rich
ardson , Bill and Jim Gillaspie and J.
W. Stetter , all range around the head
of the Boardman and number about
2,500 head. Plenty of fresh water is
found on the range , buc where it is
lacking windmills and tanks have been
erected. "We arrived at headquarters
in time for dinner , and at two o'clock
looked up and started on the back
track , but in order to see more country
ive crossed the range of hills and came
lown "dry valley , " striking it just
jast of Dan Adamson's.
