hag all over Europe while her
husband Earl was on assign-

of the U.S. Army; it keeps her
content now that he's a busy
trooper with the Wyoming
Highway Patrol.
Living in Europe afforded
Diane the opportunity to ac-
cumulate her vast collection
of spinning wheels.
"I would get up early (3:00
or 4:00 o'clock) on Saturday
mornings to beat the crowds
to the flea market," which is
where she found most of her
wheels, ranging in cost be-
tween $50-$75, she said.
After Earl's retirement from
a 22-year Army career, the
Gills moved back to the Uni-
ted States where Diane says
a good spinning wheel might
cost several hundred dollars.

=Everything is so
Row, but I like older
European wheels, most of
which she has figured out
how to operate.
"Once you know how to
spin, it's not too hard to fig-
ure out how each wheel
works," she says in a quiet,
unassuming manner.
The wheel Diane actually
uses for spinning is a mod-
em treadle model which gets
to whirring so steadily that
it looks like spinning is quite
easy to do. That's why I was
so eager to try my hand at it
when invited to do so. Wen...it
isn't' that easy, Dian just
makes it look that wa€ i .......
A stickler for doing a task
from "start to finish', Diane
begins with bags of raw wool
she buys from area ranch-
ers. She washes and dries
it, then combs, spins, and
dyes the freshened wool be-
fore using it in a knitting or
crochet project. Two pounds
of wool usually makes one
adult-sized sweater, which
Gill says she usually gives
away as gifts.
Gill modestly says her tal-
ent is not unique. She re-
cently hosted a "dyeing party"
at which she and other local
spinners--Judy Hart, Joyce
Speidel, Becky Roll, and Cin-
dy Corean---dyed wool with
boiled sagebrush. Gill says
Koolaid, walnut bark, golden-
rod and most any colorful in-
gredient can be used in the
dyeing process.
Her hands apparently never
still, Gill counts tatting, knit-
ting, crochet, and bobbin lace
among her many other hob-
bies. "I had already learned
Russian bobbin lace and was
learning Belgian when we
left Europe," Diane said. She
continues to learn on her
own from a book. Weaving,
she says, is next on her list
of handcraft arts to learn.
While some of us dread the
onset of winter and the cold,
falling snow,. Diane looks for-
ward to a time when she can
sit beside her pellet stove and
lose herself in yet another
handspun craft.

The Dale Carnegie Moskee
ranch was sold for $235,000 to a
midwesterner who wishes to re-
main anonymous at a Saturday
auction.
The auction drew a large crowd,
but only a few were serious
bidders. Within ten minutes of
the auction, the bidding field
was narrowed down. Only four
bidders participated with the
escalation of the price. Bidding
started at $100,000.
The Moskee area home was
built in the late 1950s by Dor-
othy Carnegie following Dale
Carnegie's death.

to Charles Oudin, Crook County
livestock inspector.
Oudin made the statement in
reporting the livestock shipments
out of the county during the
month of July. He termed the
July shipment "light".
He disclosed that 773 head of
cattle and 139 horses had been
shipped to open markets from
the county during July. An addi-

horses were sent out of 'the
county to pastures and feedlots.
