Show Woodrow Items (Crowded out last week.) A. J. Pritchett and family left last Tuesday for the Pacific Coast and the fair at San Francisco, Fran-cisco, leaving many friends in West Delta who regret their departure de-parture from our midst. Mr. and Mrs. Brown who bought the ranch which the . Pritchetts had transformed from a desert into a beautiful home are farming with a will, and are making many new friends among us. Mr. and Mrs. Luther Tibben are the proud parents of a 9f lbs. son who arrived at the Tibben ranch Tuesday at 4, p. m. Mr. Tibben says the work problem is solved for him as his boy is strong enough now to thin beets 8 hours out of 24. Samuel Jasper and wife are visiting Mr. and Mrs. George Campbell. Mr. Jasper is from Missouri but he says he waives this right to be "shown" in the present instance, because he can see at a glance that this is the best country yet. A ride through Sugarville last Sunday revealed improvements and new settlers that should please all the West Delta people Automobiles were standing on the sidewalks or driving through the streets, young men and ladies lad-ies gaily attired were out for a Sunday stroll, new buildings were in evidence in all directions including the 12 room bungalow being erected by Mr. Hilliard, which bids fair to eclipse all other oth-er buildings thus far erected in West Delta. Crops are looking fine all over the Delta Project. A good stand of sugar beets is seen on all sides in spite of the fears entertained that the frost had damaged them to some extent. ex-tent. Mr. Walls representing the Department of the Interior, Washington, D. C, met a delegation dele-gation of farmers in Woodrow Tuesday p. m., and told them some pertinent facts. Being a mere woman we are only allowed t guess at what he said, but we know by the actions of our "Lords and Nobles" that some of his remarks struck a vital spot. |
