railway track and they had to get Water's with his team to pull it up the hill again. Dick had to go down to the station and get them to telephone to the switch to have the car stop, but they said it came down as far as where the auto mobile was and then stopped and unloaded a whole car load of people who helped get the thing off. The brakes were out of order. It has been pretty hot again to-day.

Monday August 26th

We got four loads of our hay in to-day and put off the one that we hauled in Saturday night. It took a long time to put the loads off as the last load filled the west end of the barn right up and every load had to be mowed. Did didn't get over till noon but this after noon he and Frank mowed away while we were putting th loads off and then Frank stayed in the mow and mowed it well away while Dick Dad. and I were out after loads. William Ryerse was in again to-night to tell me that they weren't going to start for Douglas's till noon as Tupper didn't want to go in the morning and he is going to take us down in his car. Rather cloudy and strong west & north west wind.
