The only business done was to organize and elect another clerk in place of John F. Reed and continue Walton as marshal. All the new work on the Farmers' Co-operative canal has been done for several days and the canal now has an abundance of water. Great credit is due William Noot, Sr., who superintended the work. E. A. Fraser, a prominent business man of Ontario, was a visitor here today. J. D. Reed came in from the Crane creek country and reports all stock doing fine and the pasture never better. John Forbes and son of Amherst City, Neb., arrived this morning. Mrs. Anna Williams of Milan, Mo. sister of Mrs. Ed Short, arrived this afternoon and will remain during the summer.
