location. This would be where flowers
were abundant and where the bees would
be protected from the winds and storms.
Not only flowers were to be sought, but
an abundance of Eastwood trees, raspber-
ries and buckwheat. These together
would make beekeepers' Utopia. More
than race should be considered in the
selection of a strain. Black bees would
store more buckwheat. Clamps contain

A PLEASANT AFFAIR.

(No. 81 sends us the folio wing:
One of the pleasantest events that has
occurred in this district for some time
was that on the evening of Dec. %; an
entire surprise to Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
Bovia, it being the sixteenth anniversary
of their marriage. Mr.. and Mrs. Loyal
Kingsley of Burlington, the latter a sis
ter of Mrs. Bovia, were there on a visit.
The thing was made known to them by
the neighbors, and that they must assist
in carrying out some plan to make it a
complete surprise. Consequently they
were all invited to spend the evening at
one of the neighbors, not far distant,
with other acquaintance that were to be
there also. At an early hour Mr.. Bovia
got his team to the door and they were
all going off to have a good social time.
AS they were about to start Mrs. Kings
ley thought that perhaps she had not
better go. having a headache, but sug-
gested that they could 60 if they did not
stay too late. However, Mr.. Bovia and
wife drove off somewhat disappointed.
On arriving at the place to which they
were INVITED, social hour passed ;
but some of the party were so anxious to
see Mrs. Kingsley before she returned to
Burlington that the party thought best
to finish out the evening at Mr.. Bovia's.
He started, and on arriving home found
his house taken possession of by party
of 20 neighbors and friends. who went
with their lunch baskets loaded with
choice eatables. A hearty welcome was
extended to all. The party held full pos
session of the house until near the small
hours of the night. In due time the
tables were groaning under the burden
of the luXuries. The evening was spent
in social chat. After refreshments were
served the younger class INDUCED in diff
ferent games and plays, while the older
ones continued in conversation. Finally
the company, thinking it time for honest
folks to be at home, dispersed, leaving
behind them a set of nice cane-seat chairs,
a rocker to match and hanging lamp.
The presents given by Mr.. and Mrs. 10y
al Kingsley were as follows; One sewing
chair, a nice bonnet and veil, one bed
spread, pair pillow shams. silver dollar,
one broom. holder, one vinegar cruet. The
occasion is one that will long be remem-
bered by all who were present.

Timber fn Alaska.

Mr.. Francis Tagliabue, who has
made several trips 10 Alaska. says
that there is no considerable amount
of timber in that territory growing
mere than $50 feet above sea level.
Much OF the southern part~and only
that portion has been much exposed
lies above the level. bat further north.
where the elevation IL believed TO be
less, there may lie, as - the case IN
the northern parts OF the eastern
hemisphere, extensive forests. The
most common tree in Alaska is the
Sitka spruce. and the most valuable
the yellow cedar Roth grow 10 q

feet IN height, with a diameter OF ak
feet Those 100 feet high and four
