An old Scottish tale recounts a Perth show dinner joke about toasting the Queen. The speaker praises the Queen as a respectable, well bred mother, notes a daughter married to the Duke of Argyll’s heir, and recalls seeing the Queen. The speech veers to Perth station, a punchline about a cop, and ends with a note on Ohio saloon counts and license receipts.
River expert H. Newell spoke to the Denver Real Estate Exchange and Chamber of Commerce on irrigation and water resources.

Oregon sheep plans to move 1.5 to 2 million head to Kansas and Nebraska for summer feeding were discussed, with rail transport arranged to avoid overgrazing ranges and to market in fall.
