No finer potatoes or beets ever grew out of doors than those left at this office Monday by W. W. Blackburn, who owns one of the best ranches in Idaho—1100 acres eight miles south of Cottonwood. The Early Rose potatoes weighed around 4 pounds and two table beets 84 pounds each—grown without irrigation. Mr. Black- burn firmly believes his garden contains the richest ground on earth—and as proof he has “‘the goods to show for it.’’ He says he might be tempted to sell about half of his ranch, as he is getting too old to look after all of the 1100 acres. Sa oar ee aa Dr. Orr reports the birth of a fine girl baby to Mr. and Mrs, John Mey- er on Saturday, Oct. 27th, This makes three daughters and two sons in their family. John figures that it can be properly termed ‘a full house” --since there are three queens and a pair of jacks. i SAE rt Real Estate Deals. A. L. Creelman, the merchant, this week sold his 160-acre ranch, known as ‘Foster's Grave” ranch, three miles west of town, to John Wemhoff, who last year bought the adjoining ranch from Chris Schaecher.
