me Charlie Ivey's side of the story of Clarence Ferris getting fired down at the mill. Charlie bought the lot across from his house on purpose to preserve the big spruce trees along the road on the lot. After he bought it Clarence wanted to buy it from him and Charlie sold it to him on condition he would leave the trees but it was only a verbal agreement. Joe Long wanted the trees so Clarence let him cut them down although Charlie offered to buy them or the lot or another lot down town in order to keep them. If that is the case Clarence certainly deserved all he got because Charlie has treated him well. Karl Coleman was over this morning to look at the steer and told Dad he would give him 12 cts for him when he was ready in two or three weeks. Dad. took Daisy May down on Saturday to ship but Niel wasn't there and had left word at Henderson's that he didn't want her that day but Dad. had never got the word so was very peeved when he had to bring her home again. Karl told him he would make Niel buy her over again and if he didn't make a suitable offer that he himself would take her. This after noon Frank and I sheared one of the rams. I did the shearing and made a pretty messy looking job
