Show Busy at Hyde Park. Drainage a Great Success, and a Mine May be. Hvw: Paiik, Aug. 0. The past week has been a very busy one for wc Hyde Parkers with putting up hay, weeding and watering beets, cutting grain, etc. We have scarcely had time to think of war, politics, religion, circus, or anything else. The worms, nlcs and bugs of various kinds arc doing do-ing considerable damage to the beet crop, It seems that we are to have a parasite for every crop wc try to raise. The new residence of our rustling milk hauler, Charles Halls, Is about completed. B. J!. Lundnlulst & Co. arc putting on the paint, and it now looks quite neat and homelike. Hy the w.-vy, Mr. Editor, if you wish to sec some nice little homes, just hitch up your high flyer and drive about Hyde Park, and you will see some dwellings that are quite neat and pretty. J. W. Hurren, Lamb Hrothers, and others have recently received two car loads of tiling for draining their wet lands Just south of town. To the farmers of Cache who have wet and unprofitable land, 1 would say come to Hyde Park and see what drainage will do. Land that a few years ago could produce nothing but weeds and poor hay now have a growing crop of oats that will no doubt yield "5 bushels per acre and wheat that will go from '0 to 50 bushels per acre. There Is now a large stream of pure cold water flowing from the land, which If It was a mile east of town, would be worth many thousands of dollars. A few days ago we visited the Cain and Davidson mine, situated In Dry Fork canyon, about three miles east of Hyde I'ark. Their tunnel Is now In something over a hundred feet. They expect to reach the mineral body in about twenty feet more. The rock they are working In is very hard to blast, hence their progress is slow. Mr. Cain seems contldcnt that he will strike a large body of ore. They have spent considerable time and means thus far and it Is hoped that they will be amply rewarded for their stick-to-lt-lvc-ness. |
