Louis Miller of Arcadia offers to sub
scribe $1,000 in stock and donate his
piece of lane adjoining Delanotown,
on Stout's creek, to the enterprise
There should be no trouble in raising
all the stock needed, for the factory
would pay in every way. Tomatoes,
corn, vegetables of all kinds in their
season would be put up for an unlim-
tied market, and in winter the canning
of beef could engage the full capacity
OF the plant. The projectors of the
enterprise would receive good divi-
Cends on their investment, and the
farmer and gardeners will find a ready
market for their produce. Financially
to the Valley. one canning factory will
be worth a dozen Conference schools.
Let it be put under way without delay.
Mrs. Nathan Vail died at her home
at Sabin on Monday last of consump-
ton. Mrs. Vail will be remembered
as Miss Olive Malstad who was mar
ried at the home of George Fuller, in
Island Park. Moorhead, March 10 last,
and had been married only six months
and fourteen days at the time of her
death. The bereaved husband is Mr..
Nathan Vail, manager of the James
Shea store at Sabin. MIR. Vail is
worthy of more than passing notice for
his action in marrying the young lady
when she was here homeless and sick
and giving her the comfort of a good
home and his love and protection.
The funeral was held from the resi-
dence in Sabin yesterday afternoon,
and was largely attended, thirty car
riages of friends following the remains
to its last resting place. A distressing
accident occurred on the way to the
grave. The casket was placed in a
spring wagon and the wind blew the

The children of L. p. r. who reside
10 the Valley gave their father birth
day party on the anniversary of his
74th birthday that was very much in the
nature of Il surprise to him. An in
valid cousin whom he had invited to
ride out with him on his birthday was
taken into the plot and succeeded in
keeping him away from home until
noon. In their absence the fatted pig
was killed and roasted, the chicken
pie manufactured, and table capable
of seating a dozen people was bounti-
fully supplied with all the good things
of the season. On his return he found
himself surrounded by the smiling
faces of his children and grandchildren
that resided near enough to be there.
his neighbors, and some of his old
friends. His surprise was as complete
as the Sonspirators could have wished.
When the dinner hour arrived all sat
down to an old-fashioned New England
dinner of the kind that he has made
the readers of the REGISTER acquainted
with through It's columns. After the
dinner had been disposed Of, Mr.. j.
Markham read the company paper
reminiscent of early Connecticut life
and the friendship that bad grown up
between the two fanatics. The occa-
sion was the most enjoyable of its kind.
The day was one of those glorious Dc
tober days that adorn the closing year
with golden crown. 1t is needless to
add that every one had good time,
not excepting the goodly number of
present. In the even

T. p. r. desires us to express his APP
probation of the kindness of his rela-
tives and friends in their remembering
him, especially for the elegant cake
that was presented to him by Miss
Maud Fletcher. Those who were
present heartily wish that T. p. X.
may have birthday every month.

there was in the treasury S312.14; that
the yearly revenues from all sources av-

June i. 1894, of 5000: and that these
sums. when added together. made up
the expenditures of the city between

allowed 1926 for incidentals and sala-

with the revenues collected from March
