not need walk around with a
chip on his shoulder very long
until he will find some one readv
to knock it olf. It is a lumber
ing, oil, and gas community.
The wells are anywhere from
800 to 8000 feet in depth, and gas
is used for heatiug and lighting
purposes among the farmers as
well as iu town. Teamsters and
woodsmen aro iu demand, and
later there will be plenty of work
on the river. Plasterers would
have liitle show there, for Mr.
Hann says that ho has not soon
a plastered house since he has
been there. The houses are gen
eially comfortable just lined on
tBJ sides ar.d overhead, and then
papered. Rabbits aud raccoons
