Boom in Minnesota Apples.

Southern Minnesota is fast coming
to the front as a fruit-growing region.
The fine exhibition Of large, sound,
perfectly formed and spicy apples and
crabs, in addition to all the entries Of
small fruits, at the county fairs, are at.
tracing interest in the fruit-growing
industry. Farmers are beginning to
recognize the fact that an orchard is a
good investment. From one orchard
near Winnebago City four car loads of
good apples have been sold at a figure
near $1,000. The supply of apples is
far above the demand at Winnebago.
City, and Southern Minnesota has car
loads for export. At the Blue Earth,
county fair one man had on exhibition
from his orchard 252 varieties Of APP
pies. A few years ago it was said that
this climate was not adapted to fruits,
especially apples. The same thing is,
said now in the newer regions Of the,
state further north. But it is a well
known fact that the best apples come
from the Northern states. Through the
invaluable aid of the horticultllrists,
the acclimating of new varieties and
the aging Of the soil, we may reason
ably expect to be competing in the near
future with New York and the New
England states in the apple markets of
the world.I The best paying acres in
Southern Minnesota to-day are the or
chards that have been properly cared
for until they have reached bearing
age. VII. 80 +S'

Thursday are fast recovering under the
constant and tender care Of the nurses

dangerous cases among them, most OF
the soldiers are in a very weakened

before they will recover their natural
strength. All of the boys are down
with typhoid or complications resultant
of the same disease. When the men
are recovering from typhoid they are
in very weakened condition, and are
susceptible to relapses. Several Of the
boys have already been taken sick a
second time, as they were about ready
to leave the hospital, on account of
carelessness and lack of care on their
part. The dangerous cases are few,
however, and the doctors think they
all will pull through. There some few

Popular Novelist Almost Lost His
Life From Starvation.
San Francisco, Sept. PA Chron-
icle special from Seattle says: Hamlil,
Garland, the novelist, has reached
Pine Creek, the newest gold camp in
Alaska, after a narrow escape from
death by starvation on the terrible
Ashcroft route. He has been months
on thousand-mile journey, and owes
his life to good luck rather than any
thing else. He started for Dawson
from Ashcroft. expecting to make, q
hurried trip into the interior. With
every mile that he put behind himself
and Ashcroft the trail grew worse,
until at last it was impossible. At
last, the trail faded suddenly from
view. For days Garland's party wan
dered on through swamps and timber
lands, none of them knowing where
the end would be. After being on
short rations for several days they
stumbled into a Hudson Bay post.
They replenished their outfits and
started again for the Stickeen. The
distance was misrepresented, and their
grub began to run short, while the end
of the journey seemed no nearer. Car
land put his men on short rations and
kept On moving. At last they reached
the Glenora, very much exhausted.
From there Garland took a steamer to
the Pine creek country.

It is possible that the Fourteenth
regiment will not be mustered out at
Duluth after all. Gov. Clough does
not thinkSit a wise move, and does not
hesitate to so inform the war depart
ment. He has sent the following Wig
orous telegram to Washington, which
may have some influence:
I Il understand that at the request
OF Congressman Morris the -Four
teenth regiment, Minnesota yolun-
teers, has been ordered to Duluth to
be mustered out. If this is done it
will be a great mistake. There is no
one in favor of it except Morris and a
few business men at Duluth. Public
sentiment throughout the state is over
Whelmingly in favor Of st. Paul, the
capital Of the state. The climate Is
such at Duluth that if these men ere
sent there at this time of year, with
out overcoats, as they are, and from
such a warm climate, it will be
dangerous to the health Of the men

QUEER WORK FOR AN ARMY.

Experiment In Prussia to Estimate the
Skill and Speed of Soldiers.
An interesting experiment has Just
been made by the Prussian war de-
partment, with view to discover the
speed with which artisans can work
In a given time in the ranks of the
German army, says the London Tele-
graph. Twelve hundred bootmakers,
selected from the eighteen army corps
scattered about the empire, were sum-
moned just over month ago to Ber-
lin, to go through course Of four
weeks work. Eighteen colonels, lieu
tenant-colonels and captains, with a
corresponding number of noncommis-
stoned officers, were ordered to come
to the capital to superintend the men.
The men were quartered in the bar
racks Of the LIST field artillery regiment
Of the Prussian guards and performed
their daily work there. About forty
locksmiths were told off to repair
their machines when necessary. The
men worked in two divisions continu-{
ously day and night, one division re-
lieving the other. One division worked
from 2 p. M till 2 d. NJ, whereupon
they were relieved by the other party,
which in it's turn worked from 2 a. m.
till 2 p. m. Two pauses of half an
hour each were made in each twelve
hours work. The men got their din.
ner in the barracks-the one section
Immediately before settling down to
work, the other section immediately
after their work. The wages given
conceded with the wages given in time
of war-6s for ten days, including
bread money. The 1900 men made
$500 pairs of boots per day-that is to
say, infantry and cavalry boots and
lace shoes.

Washington, Sept. 21.-Five regi-
ments now at San Francisco have
been ordered to Manila. Arrange
mentG for their transportation will be
made at once
The regiments orde, ed to Manila are
the following: Fifty-first Iowa,
Twentieth Kansas, First Tennessee.
First Washington and a detachment
of the Second Oregon.
1t was stated at the war department
that no eNigency had arisen which
made it necessary to send these troops
to Manila, but the order issued was in
accordance with the general plan Of
e. the department regarding q garrison
for the Philippines. That plan of gar
rison duty included 10000 men for the
Philippines, 400 for Porto Rico and
10000 for Cuba. The troops to be sent
p to Manila under to-day's order will fill
the complement for that station. The
troops would have been sent before,
1t was said, except that the depart
fent was awaiting the return of the
transports. Is
1t is not expected that the troops
now at Honolulu will accompany these
to be embarked at San Francisco, but
other troops will be sent to Honolulu
in the near future.
The war department has amended
the orders relative to the dispatch Of
reinforcements to the Philippines so as
to increase the number by 1,161 pri-
Yates and thirty-slx officers These
are made up of four companies of the
Twenty-third infantry and recruits for
the Tenth Pennsylvania, First Ne
braska and First Colorado These
troops made up the expedition under
Gen. King which recently left San
Francisco on the Arizona for the
Philippines, but was stopped by the
departments orders when two days
out and returned to port.

Colonies. Prof. Woolsey says:
IL has already been said that Eng

revolution, while Spain has never heed
ca It nor the loss OF her own colonies.
Yet It really was not until fifty years
ago that their methods sharply di-}
verged. AS early as ITS Spain had

Great changes had been earlier made
IN the English colonies, the Esprit Of
monopoly and OF a restrictive policy
was In force until about 1915. So far
as relates to the evils Of the colonial
system, then, the two were not very
unlike 1l But into the field of admins
tratlve reform and the grant Of auton-
nous powers to her colonies, Spain
never had entered. The abuses OF the
early part of the century characterize
also It's later years. Discrimination
against the native-born, even Of the
purest Spanish stock; officials who re-
gard the colony as a mine to be work

nandlcaps with the growth, the pros
perlty, the independence, above all, the

the colonies of England. One of the
wonderful things in this half-century
IS that army of British youth, with but
little special training or genius, or
even, perhaps, conscious sympathy for
the work, learning to administer the
great and growing Indian and colonial
empire honestly and wisely and we'll,
with courage and judgment equal to

1sh colonial government is worse than
formerly, which is costing it now so
dear, but that it is no better, while
the worlds standard has advanced and
condemns it. Never yet has Spain
looked at her colonies with their own
welfare uppermost in her mind. She
has never outgrown the old mistaken
theories. Her fault is medievalism,
