The great potato picnic will never be forgotten by the people of Cub Creek valley. This district was at first the scene of a brief mining excitement. After that there was a blaze of disorderly glory. This subsided into a tame career of cattle ranching, which finally developed an unexpected resource. It was found that the light and powdery . i ae soil of the gated, produced valley, when properly potatoes in great irriquan- fence, to the town, to be and put on corral of handsome boys horses and on foot.

My father was the first mayor of the city. Heis a very enterprising man and had contributed many schemes to “boom” Cub Creek, One of his schemes was the great potato picnic—a kind of Corridade Toros; a sort of dress parade about actively we were around the time and a good deal of dust kicked up; an finally the attention of the people was to be diverted by a baloon ascension.

But it was one thing to decide to have abull-fight and another to get one up. My father told us that we must “put it through ourselves,” he had no time, to superintend it. But we must guarantee that no one should be hurt In it, andthat the animals should neither be killed nor cruelly treated. We gave the guarantee and set about organizing the “fight.” Of course we knew absolutely nothing about builfights. We had come to the valley dur- & ing the a time bee potato period, and knew nothing except from books and hearsay about the wild life in the mountains and the plains. Nor could we find anyone who had experience in bull-fights.

After «a good deal of trouble, they the arena, where they leaped and bellowed, and we were driven five boys after them, amid intense excitement.

Double pointed tacks are also used for tacking down straw matting and for other purposes.

Almost all inds of tacks are also sold in bulk in 25-pound and 50 pound boxes and in 100-pound kegs.
