We n't ten dial a Mutual entertainment where an lit-tcretlug lit-tcretlug musical and literary pro-gum! pro-gum! wa given by the young ladle, and ome advice wa given by a young man about picking out the right kind of a girl for a wife. Wo judged that there are plenty of the right kind in Kdpio. After the entertainment a harvest dance was given in the m hool house where a largo crowd pent a pleasant evening. Girl nerved cak and lemon tde from a prettily decorated decor-ated booth in one corner of the room. At Oak City we found everybody harvesting the big crop of fruit. There arc, thousand of bunhcU of ti it'-A i,U' i '-u .H .mi bu .tli . ' i ... , w plum, pear, apple, and grape. Simeon Sim-eon Walker la Mending away load of pc in lies every day to the railway and eem to be feeding a many more to hi fat bog. People from the west able are coming over In great number num-ber to get their supplies of fruit and there I an abundance for all. There Is also an abundance of delicloti melon and everything In the way of vegetable. John K. Ixiwt-ll ha a splendid garden where everything flourishc to perfection, and if lie make an exhibit at the atale fair It will be hard to beat. When we aaw the fine product they raise on the cist aide we expressed tturprle at the mi. all exhibit made at the county fair, and everybody wa ready with aome kind of an apology. We hot they will not be o Indifferent about tho tate fair, for we dont believe any county tan how a greater variety or better agricultural product than can Millard. We think Oak City need a canning f ictory quite a much a Fillmore. She ha Just a much fruit and i clutter tto I te railway and every year there la a big lo of fruit becatiKe It cannot he p-ofltibly marketed, but It could be canned. Wo believe If aome of the women would go Into the canning of fruit In a small way they could find a ready market at good price on the west Mlde for al they could put up. Some fruit I being put up at l!Vc ler ran where the can are furnlnhed, and of course thl home prepared fruit I better than the ordlntry commercial runnel fruit. Oak City badly need dnineMic water eystem, and we can hardly get und to drinking water from the ditches, ditch-es, but a water y:cm for a amall place like Oak City I a hird problem. The people are trying to aolve It by sinking a test well. Everybody I contributing con-tributing to the cost of the experiment and if good water i f und at a reasonable reason-able dep'h this may be the easiest way e o!vlng the water question. The editor was gratified at the gooj surds ev'-rybixly had for the Chronicle ind be added a large number of ne mime to hi uhcrlptlon list They a find the Chronicle lutereatlng. They know the Chronicle alwaya h.t a f ill r oiini of a conference, a fair, or convention con-vention or -my v -her event of Intereat, and never aendi out a blank page. We have added nearly 20i) namea to our llt ince last pr!ng. We want to run the lint up to l.Ooo by the end of the yesr, an J at the rate we are locreaalng will do It. ON THE EAST SIDE. What is Going on in the Thriving Settlements Set-tlements on the East Side. The east side 1 pretty generally jpiovlded with good road now. The road from Delta to Fillmore I In gootl condition and will be till (he fall rains start when the road across Mud Lake will probably be a quagmire. Itoatl commissioner Henne t tells us that the county will probably get a rock crusher crush-er am) put It to work breaking rock to surface thl four mile strip, There I plenty of lava rock close at hand which, when crushed, will make the finest sort of surfacing. It will be rather expensive a the crusher will cost about Jl.ontl, but (lie state will bear part of the expense. I'ntil this is done the road never will be in good condition, ami will be a constant source of expense. When It Is rock surfaced It will remain eriiiuneiitly In good condition with very little ex pelise. The worst piece of road we s ruck was between Hidden and Sclpio. Thl rond Is rough and full of rock and boles. There Is a large aniouut of Havel on this road ami It is on leh regular automobile route between Salt Lake and the south, and Is the worst piece of road on the whole line. We pjssed quite a number of auto oil 'the way and the driver hnd only execration execra-tion for such a bum road. Automobile Automo-bile travelers are a very desirable class it they spend money freely and they ought lo be encouraged. If about (en mile of this road were straight filed out and graded UP so til.lt the water would not wash It out every storm It would be a great Inducement to travel and bring people through the county who are now deterred because they don't care to risk smashing their machine. There ought also lo be sign board up so the traveler would ktow which mm to take to go lo Delta und Oak City. Tht! cut-off to these tnlts should also be repaired as there Is ft great deal of tratfi flow ie jS ei'l" Mei( and the west, side, and the road is In very bad condition. There I plenty of gravel at band to fix the roads ami it could be done at stuill expense. Hidden is growing ambitious and a petition Is being circulated asking for the Incorporation of the town. : I proposed'to take in a strip of land tin the west side of the town and cut It up Into town lots so a to increase the area of The to it. Nearly every one In Hidden owns hi home an I there are no lots for new comers. As considerable dry farming Is now being done around IMdcti and a man cannot can-not live very well exclusively on a dry farm this will provide an Irrigated town lot for those who may want to live near their farms. It is believed tills will encourage non-residents to come here to live. Another Improvement Hidden badly needs Is a new school bouse. It has the poorest, shabbiest school house we hive seen In the county. It Is poorly arranged, dilapidated looking, and a good many of the window lights have been knocked out. As every traveler through the town passes this schttol house we are sure It must create cre-ate a very unfavorable Impression. The neat looking home and general air of piosperlly In the town show that the lieople could certainly afford to build a decent school house. Can It be a lack ttf public spirit? Hobien's creamery i pros-ritig and help keep the farmer supplied with a little ready cash all the time. As tin-re was a good ciop of bay this sea son the business of the creamery will ! greaier than ever thl fall, as aome of the farmer intend to Increas l heir herds Ail kind of fruit I also plentiful plen-tiful More fruit tree have leen or tiered lor spring planting, as nearly every one is coming to see that with the limited supply of water avail ible fruit Is the most profitable crop to raise on their Irrigated land The dry land can b used for grain, and also to some extent for alfalfa.
