I enjoy reading the “Local and Personal” section of old papers. They sure kept tabs on everyone! These came from the Waterville Empire-Press dated August 4, 1921.

Local and Personal

Ed Dahlke stopped us on the street the other day and insisted that we correct a statement that appeared in the EMPIRE-PRESS last week, in regard to that hiking party that came over from Seattle. We clipped the item from the Wenatchee Daily World which stated that Bill McKay was in the party that walked over from the Sound City. Ed says Bill rode the velvet cushion in the Pullman, and that it was Mrs. McKay who was in the hiking party. We were wondering at the time whether Bill had pulled this kind of a stunt, but thought perhaps the rubber-tired life in the Puget Sound climate might have had a good effect on him. But since the matter was called to our attention, we are glad to make the correction.

We asked some of the boys who were up from Wenatchee this week how hot it was down there, and they all said they did not know. We remarked that it was funny that Wenatchee folks always know how cold it is in Waterville in the winter, but never know how hot it is in Wenatchee at this time of the year. Possibly all the thermometers are broken down there and they have no way of telling.

Fire destroyed about two acres of wheat for J.M. Packer, who resides east of here, Monday afternoon. He had just started to harvest the field when it was set on fire by a hot box on the combine. A tank of water handy, which was used to wet sacks, and some fast work, saved the fire from destroying the entire field. The grain was insured by the Davison Realty Company.
