Industrial freedom. [volume] (Edison, Wash.) 1898-1???, 1898-09-24

| BRO. Fisher was elected superln'
tendent of the agricultural depart
ment at our general assembly meet
ing Saturday.
There is tent up alongside OF
No. apartment house with "Photo'
on top, and the young folks are jubi
liant accordingly.
This week finishes the hay haul
ing. On that score we are in out OF
the wet. There is a good sized pile
of it in the big barn.
The cuisine department put uT
the first barrel of sauer kraut this
week. Our early cabbage are bursting
and we take this plan to save them,
and also to save the late cabbage.
New members admitted during
the week we're: ID. n. Foy and wife
from Salt Lake City, Utah; J. w
Smith and wife from Quillayute,
Wash, and C. w. Belknap and wife
from Iowa.
Our beans are nearly all in. A
few more days of this fine weather
will finish them. We will have some
where near so bushels, which will give
us at least two meals per week the
coming winter.
-Turnips, well yes, all you want;
they are piled up on each other in the
field. Can't even get them thinned
out to give them a chance to grow.
We will have to call on the cows to
help eat them.
The transportation department
has had a full week, fifteen horses in
the collar every day and no cord wood
hauled. Either with the mill, or the
hay and garden, we have been more
than busy. Cord wood can be hauled
OH wet days.
Bro Davis rye bread lis, some of
the boys say, food fit for the gods, and
when you add the cereal coffee you
have substantial, wholesome food,
much better than the worn y hard
tack we read of the soldiers getting.
New arrivals as prospective mem.
bers: Mr.. and Mrs. G. B. jolly from
Butte, Mont; Arthur Tunmore, from
Alpena, Mich; and Elias Ahlberg,
Marinctte, Wis. Applicants for ad-
mission: Jas. j. Tunmore, from AL
pena, Mich.
Bros. Potts, Sandstrom and Ok
erlund abandoned the cabinet work a
few days this week, and DEVOTED their
time to building a hog lot. The saw
mill site encroaching on the old one,
we had to branch out in another di-
rection.
Bro. Eichholtz came staggering
up the road this morning with two
immense radishes, with the tops full
of seed. We shall be well supplied
in that line, having some two or three
hundred we'll filed seed tops of differ
ent varieties.
Some of our bike enthusiasts are
having their pictures taken today,
wheels and all. There are five or six
wheels in the colony, and while they
give their owners quite bit of pleas
ure they are very useful in making
short trips back and forth in the phil
istine's country.
The fishermen did not strike it
very rich the last trip; seven salmon
in all. However, we cannot expect
smooth sailing or good fishing all the
time. Better luck next time, boys.
Don't get discouraged hut cast your
net on the other side of the boat, per-
haps it will break the next time you
pull in.
Sorry to have to say it, but our
potatoes are not quite up TO the
standard, yet they compare favora-
bly, with those of our surrounding
neighbors. 1t seems this is an off year
for potatoes. Economizing we may
have enough to last to February or
March: it takes about bushels per
day for our family.
Visitors were: Miss Jennie Gibson,
Butte, Mont. H. Hotfmeyer, Seattle,
Wash; Isaac Nordman, Marinette,
Wis: V. S. Brock, Whatcom, Wash.
Other new arrivals were the wives
and families of John Paris and Hugh
Mooney from Coalgate, Indian Terri
tory, who were already members of
the colony, having joined several
