Deep Creek '

Threshing is all. completed,
with satisfactory yields and qual-
ity, but it has delayed harvesting
of roots, of which many tons re-
main to be lifted, If the present
weather holds all will be got up
in good shape. ‘

Many farmers are already get-
ting ready to make ties oF go to
the mines, This does seem a
paradox in view of large crops.

V. Conn reports two potatoes
weighing ten pounds, D. Green
reports thirteen tons per acre.
He dug them early to avoid their
getting too large, otherwise they
would have been a fair crop,

A. Kerr has returned from
Dome mountain for the potato
harvest,

Tom Brandon, W: K. Cunning-
ham and EB. A. Mortimer are now
at Dome muuntain,

W. Skelhorne is back at his

claim at Grouse mountain for a
few days.

trip to Burns Lake recently, The
country south made him so home-

sick for Deep Creek that he took

having an “‘eye-opener”’ available
at such stations aa require one to
get up in the middle of the night,

The school attendance at Quick
is now at its highest point, and

before long, as several new set-
tlers are expected. We have not
heard anything about the school
stable for sometime. The money
was voted oyer a year ago, and
will soon be needed.

Chas. Kelly was through the
district recently and picked up
some hogs and a good deal of
cheap hay and feed. Come aguin,
Chas. If you get the habit we
will try and raise a few extra
pigs next spring.
