1 Years Ago Sept. 17, 1914 Well, we had a fine summer. Crops have been good and the farmer and rancher both wear smiles “that isn’t going to be pulled off with a donkey.” The weather was especially fine until Saturday afternoon, when it went democratic and remained with us a few days. However, this may clear up the situation until late in the fall. Like all democratic conditions, there is generally a long republican spell after the shock. The next snow will arrive somewhere between the 2nd and the 7th of November, 1914,...

There were not enough to play Bingo this week. Because of the holiday, there was no Bridge this week as well. There were six of us here for the movie, “Nut Job”.

1 Years Ago Aug. 20, 1914 It is one great big cinch, that if the people of the eastern part of Carbon county keep on getting it handed to them in the campaigns (political) they can probably get the county cut in two. From all we have heard since Tuesday, there is apt to be something doing at the November election to a few pets. Funny thing how half of a county gets two or three officers, while the other half gets ten or twelve. The primary is over and little accomplished by the small vote, which could have been disposed of...

An atlatl is usually constructed from a stick or slat with a hook on one end and a handle on the other. If it were explained by your high school physics teacher, they would describe it as creating an extra lever on your arm, thus increasing the...

Around 20 members at the Old Baldy Club showed an interest and Ward said she thought she could delegate some of the work. Her husband Bill was suffering from health issues, and they weren’t able to tackle a...
