There is no prettier spot in all Gre
alton than the Minnesota valley at
the present time. Standing on the
hill going down to North Redwood
one can look up and down the valley
for miles, and see wood-skirted riv-
er, nature covered with a rich lawn of
green grass, and an occasional field of
growing grain. One is constantly re-
minded of Homer's couplet in the Iii
ad: "Here cattle Craze and laboring
oxen toll; bold are the men and gen
erous is the SOIL" The Minnesota
valley from St. Peter to Granite Falls
is supreme for beauty in spring.

through Easedale Park to the mill
pond. Here the can was opened and
inspected, and no dead ones could be
discovered. The can was placed in a
boat, and after rowing to the center
OF the river the pike were cast over
board. 1t will be about three years
before they are ready for the hook of
the fisherman, after which time they

as far up the river as possible for this
purpose. If the spawning is success
full there will be plenty of pike in the
river from that time forward. The
bass will be sent to this point some
time next fall.
