Yesterday was the worst windy
' day we have seen in the state. The
' sand blew all day long and the air
was full , the houses staggered , the
trees swayed and now and then a

a fall. The women said "O dear ! "
and we all wiped our weeping eyes.
Report of school district No. 25 ,

A colored girl was met on the
street south of the Palace saloon
ast Friday afternoon by James
Robinson , a colored man who had
some grievance against her or im
agined he had , and assaulted her ,
Deating her over the head severely.
He was arrested and placed in jail
and a charge of assault was made
against him , but on Sunday he was
charged with being insane and he
was brought before the insanity
3oard on Monday. He was not
thought to be insane and it seems
that the case will be dismissed
against him.
The dipping plant at Crooks-
hag been equipped with a
"squeezerLV for- branding and dc-
lorning ; . Therefore , hereafter
one can have his cattle dipped ,
Branded or dehorned or all as he
sees fit. J. H. Bachelor will dip
700 head the last of this week , hold
near Grookston and give them a '
second dip ten days later. Cattle
men are commencing to realize
that dipping is the only effective
remedy against lice and itch , and
that there is no use trying to keep
cattle in growing condition where
ither disease is in the herd.
Therefore , dipping will become
more popular until the contagion
is wiped out.
Dr. C. M , Headrick of Omaha , has
been requested by a number of his
patients to stop over one day when
making his annual trip to the Black
Hills. In compliance with this re
quest he has decided to visit Valen
tine , Friday and Saturday , Oct 16th
and 17th at the Donoher hotel. He
will give a free consultation and ex
amination of all that can see him that
day. Dr. Headrick is in no sense a
"travelling doctor' ' but makes this
visit to accommodate a number
thdt wish to consult him , and save
them an expensive trip to Omaha.
His practice is limited to chronic
diseases , and will be prepared at
this visit to make examination by
electrical illumination.

O ft tllza.et Island
Tii Id.-ul Rexort of the
Pacific
Los Angeles California.
Very few of you but have read
of Catalina Island , situated in the
Pacific ocean , about 50 miles from
Port Los Ange'es , and is about 5
hours ride by rail and steamer from
the heart of the city. Munsey's
magazine has in the past published
articles on the tuna fishing , which
is found to be the best in the world
at Catalina Island.
The town of Avalon is situated
on the east coast of this mountain
ous island in a beautiful cove or
bay which is very placid as it does
not have the prevailing winds from
the Pacific ocean , and it is seldom ' 1
that the waters of Avalon bay bear i
a ripple of excitement , or are disturbed - '
turbed by other than the pleasure
launches and glass bottom boats
that skim leisurely over the marine
gardens , and which can be seen
through the clear bottom of these
§
boats. These wonderful marine ! '
i
forests are inhabited by myriads } ' ,
of beautiful fishi , some even as long
as your arm , mingle in peaceful
harmony with the deep sea fish of.
large and small dimensions , and
darting among the beautiful green
sea plants form one of the most
beautiful sights I have ever wit
nessed.
People from all parts of the world
congregate at the little town of
Avalon , which is a veritable city
of tents. As the tender lands you
on the wharf you are confronted
by the commercial center of this
little city , and radiating from this
point , long avenues bordered on
either side by immense eucalyptus
trees , lead one back to the city of
tents , which are arranged in streets
and cross streets in exactly the
same manner as a city is laid out.
Each tent occupies a lot of its own
and each block is supplied with
modern conveniences in the way of
water , sewerage , etc. The streets
are as carefully kept as in a city.
These tents are of various .sizes- ,
and the company who owns the
island will rent you complete out
fits for housekeeping.
As 1 was kindly supplied with
letters from Nebraska friends to
'their friends here , we were invited
to join a party spending a few
weeks at the island , and we enjoy
ed tent life which of course includ
ed bathing , boating , fishing , tennis ,
etc. , and each evening we were de
lightfully entertained by a most ex
cellent band , giving out door con
certs , also including music for
dancing in a large pavillion which
is beautifully floored. The dancing
is greatly-enjoyed by the younger
inhabitants of the summer city.
All of this is provided by the own
ers of the island ; and the only
necessity for those wishing to en
joy an outing is a rather deep purse ,
as , naturally , living expenses are
much higher there than in the city ,
I have on my desk a scale from
a sea bass which is nearly an inch
in diameter , and gives one some
idea of the immense fish that are
caught around the island. We
witnessed the landing of one called
the sun-fish , which weighed nearly
l&OO pounds.
The island proper is but a bar
ren range of mountain , and until
recently was owned and occupied
solely as a sheep ranch , but a few
years ago it was purchased by the
present owners for something less
than § 50,000 and valued now at
several million , solely as a resort.
It is only about 20 miles long , and
an average of 5 or 6 miles in width ,
The pleasure crafts take you about
the island on a very en joy able trip ,
at the -south point of which are
promontory rooks called Seal Rock ,
which are constantly occupied by
large seal and their babies , a very
pretty sight indeed as we can go
very close to them , and the little
fellows make you think of the
softest , woolly puppies , minus the
claws and teeth of the latter , and
their little faces so nearly human
that they are almost pathetic , gaz
ing with their big blue eyes in the
mute appeal of their helplessness.
The only sport outside of fishing
is that of goat hunting , as there
are still some wild goats on the
vod tijs&tf are
individuals who seem to enjoy
climbing for these animals can oft
en be seen from the boats , but are
too far away to be reached by rifle
unless one climbed the mountain.
As the Pacific cable from San
Francisco to Honolulu docs not
pass this way , the only telegraphic
connection between Avalon and the
main land , a distance of 50 miles ,
is by Marconi's wireless system ,
which is now thoroughly establish
ed , and I received a message from
'
my wife in answer to a letter , so
that I am not among the doubters
of the practicability of the plant ,
and if the editor of THE DEMOCRAT
requests , I will write you a letter
about the same , which has been
quite an object of interest to me.
