ENJOYING WESTERN VISIT.

Wilder, Idaho, Aug. 18, 1919. Mr. Louis Hamilton, Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Friend: I am sending you renewal for the next two months. We are coming home in September.* Send ’me the’ back numbers from August sth. We just returned from a fishing ■trip up in the mountains. We went 140 miles north, up on Bear creek, arriving inhere about 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon; had dinner and caught fifty-one trout that evening. We had trout, biscuits, honey and fruit nearly every meal after that and canned up a few cans to bring home. We caught 487 trout in the ■ week we were’ there. The elevation was several hundred feet higher, | the air pure and cool, finest place ! you ever saw to rest up. They are threshing here now and wheat is making from twenty-five to seventy bushels per acre. A. W. Prevo’s wheat made fifty-seven bushels and his son’s averaged about the same. Callie Greenfield had one field that made sixty-three bushels. The third crop of alfalfa is almost ready to cut. Will close for this time, as dinner i sready. Best regards to all my friends. Your friend, JAMES W. STEVENS,
