Show SASTA CLARA. Frost has killed nearly all stone fruit. Harmon Hafen has gone to DeLamar. E. Wilson is doing the carpentering on Fred Reber's new building. The water in the Santa Clara creek is the lowest it has been for years. Miss Mollie Graf had the misfortune to pierce her foot with a nail, and is suffering considerable pain. Work on the foundation of our new meeting house, which has been moved, is progressing nicely. Brother Horsley has charge of the work. Most all grain is up and looking well, but a drouth stares us in the face and if it does not rain our crops will suffer. Vegetables are being planted; some are already up, such as peas, cabbage, etc. Hay is very scarce here. Lucern is about two inches high. Cottonwoods and willows are donning their summer apparel. Old folks day was celebrated here on March 10th. It was a grand success. After partaking of a bounteous repast, the time was spent in singing, etc. In the evening a grand ball was held for both old and young, and the old folks enjoyed themselves immensely. Two prizes were given, one each to the two oldest persons present; Samuel Stucki, aged 73 years, and who is blind receiving receiv-ing a new hat; and Cecillia Gubler, aged 76 years, a silk handkerchief. The committee, consisting af Ed Frei, Adolph Hafen, Nellie Atkin, Rosella Wittwer, and Freda Keber, deserve credit for their able management. |
