H E. E Soule is the man I He came to Delta shortly after I Idid Idid Idid I did and bought on the bench northeast northeast northeast north north- I east of Delta under the project of the Sevier Land Water Co buying acres In the course of time m my wandering feet found Cound a place beneath their table and after the first enjoyment the encore was made as often a a. a In those visits vis vis- visits its I found of course course the topics of conversation My My interest was held and just as often as I could scare up an invite to their hospitable roof 1 I repeated visits to the Soule farm For Captain Soule has been eight times around the world from San Francisco to Hong Kong many times up the Alaskan coast so many times that he was his own pilot To sit after one of Mrs Soule's delicious meals and visit with these estimable people is indeed delightful the conversation conversation conversation con con- runs from steam vessels t to the old wooden sailors which exercised exercised exercised exer exer- a mans man's lungs as well as his arms from rickshaws gin-rickshaws to the elevated elevated elevated ele ele- in New York from Arizona ranch scenes to Boston For instance Captain Soule was the son son of a sea captain but all the while when following the sea he was studying farming on the side feeling feeling feeling feel feel- ing the call of the sod So one fine fineday lay day he landed in tn Arizona with a chunk of coin which he immediately I scattered in buying land and cattle In a short time a feud arose between between between be be- tween two factions which grew bit bit- ter It grew worse than that for forone forone forone one day someone was shot It was then necessary to do more shooting to even up and then some So members of either side rode armed with six shooters strapped strapp strapp- ed to their carcasses which if the they weren't carcasses then they might be Abe I If they weren't mighty handy with that shooting iron and it was The best man stays alive alive Theres There's only one chance against a gun man man-if man If you lose the jig is up Well Veil one day lay after atter a particularly bad mess the sheriff and posses rode n i Into town and hid In a brick building just going up opposite the public square later a deputy rode into town with posse made it a point to be seen inquired around some and then deliberately rode out of town leisurely and in full view From behind barricades came the opposite faction gathered in the before the postoffice to discuss discuss dis lis- cuss the why and the the wherefore when suddenly the supposedly empty brick bricie building spoke a deadly fus- fus and there was enough killing done In Jn a minute to last a man a life time A satiety of gore Captain Cal Soule saw this lived neu- neu and his hide is not yet et ed I wont won't crow for him as they say its it's unlucky unless wood Is touched touched-so Ill I'll touch wood and whistle As another Instance he was on a abig abig abig big ranch in Arizona where they had hael hada a colored cook who talked considerably considerably considerably consider consider- ably to himself The captain was washing close beside the cooks tent when he heard him muttering and cracking eggs on the skillet very skillet very often orten hed he'd say Well Nell ell ellIve Ive I've got to scramble you Let us pass on quickly to other scenes and anel changes He has grown sugar cane he has punched cows he has gentlemanly farmed in Oregon on a place place where he got and decided to sell He listed his place with a real estate man gifted with a flowery pen and when the ad came out for tor I that place the captain was almost tempted to buy it back it was so glibly coaxing to the pocket book Mrs 1 Beckwith and I and the pocket pock pock- et editions have
