PIONEER PASSES AWAY.
Interesting "reminiscences Of Early
Days in Winneshiek County.

Died, in Canoe township, of pneu
monia and old age, Mrs. Henrietta
Kinnison, aged eighty three years,
three months and twenty-one days.
She was born in Pike county, Ohio,
January 23, 1919, where she lived UNI
til she married David Kinnison, in
August 1889, and in 1914 they moved
to Wisconsin and settled in Green
county, in 1S45 they came to Iowa,
staid through the winter at Frankvil-
lie, and in March, 1850 they moved to
the place on which she has resided
until her death. Her husband died
fine years before. Eight children
were born to them, three sons and five
daughters. Two sons and one daugh-
ter are sleeping, the five that remain
were with her to comfort and help
through her last sickness. She was a
true Christian and studied the Word
that she might know her duty to her
creator. She went down in full hope
of glorious resurrection and crown
of life and Immortality which the
Lord the righteous judge has promised
TO all the faithful at his appearing in
kingdom.
One of the oldest settlers has gone !;
one that came when all nature seemed
fresh from the hands of the Creator;
no blight to mar vegetation, the pure
and balmy air, with the pure spark
ling streams of crystal waters coursing
through the land, filled with speckled
trout and others of the fnny tribe,
the forest teeming with animal life.
The little busy bee was there to be
found with their homes we'll supplied
with honey. The deer, bear, wolf,
partridge, the squirrel, and many of
the fur bearing animals were there.
Many times in the still of night could
the blood curdling screams of the pam
there be heard. The beautiful prairies
with their fertile soil stretched out
inviting the husbandman to come and
make homes ON their broad acres.
Only for the hardships and privations
of pioneer life they well might have
thought they had found the land of
promise.
Her husband built house of logs
and made shacks to cover it, and split
logs to make floor, and peeled the
bark from logs to make the ceiling
over head, the door being of little
poles and shacks woven in. Not
a nail or board in the building, nor
could any be gotten short of the Mis-
-sissippi When the family moved in
to their little home there was deer
hanging upon the wall and trough
of honey provided. In about three
years he began to build on more
modern plan. The first two or three
elections were held in their home
Before the township was named they
spoke of calling it Henrietta, as she
was the first white woman to live in
it, but she said not. AT this time the
Indians were plentiful in this section
and trouble often arose with them.
Their home was always a welcome
place for settlers to gather, and many
have often heard of it. Xxx

WIDE STREETS.
Expansive Ways Necessary to Beauty
of Cities.

From the Century.
A narrow residential street may be a very
attractive one IL the houses stand well back
from the street line. with pleasant grounds
about them. In a growing town, however
the danger from such conditions comes
with the liability to convert the street to
business purposes or to erect more COM
pacty disposed dwellings. If business
comes in the transition Is commonly marked
by jagged lines. Commercial structures,
often of cheap and undesirable aspect
are built out to the street, while the dwell
ings stand recessed back at irregular in
tervals. And when at last the street is
fully occupied for business purposes it is
altogether too narrow, the roadway and
the sidewalks are cramped and often a
widening has to take place at the public
expense. If built up closely to the line
with dwellings the street is likely to lack
air and sunshine, and the tenuency Is to-
ward squald conditions.
An excellent remedy for these evils Is Of
fered in the Massachusetts, law that empow-
ers municipalities to establish building lines
at any desired distance back from the street
line When such a line Is esta blished no
buildings can be erected on the intervening
space The municipality acquires an ease
ment in this strip of land, which can still
be used by the owner for anything but
building purposes, and on the establish
ment of such line owners may claim dam
widening. 1t is, however, commonly more
of a benefit than damage to have prop
erty thus restricted, for it assures more
permanently desirable character to the
street and In case a street widening should
ever be called for no obstacles viii stand
in the way; by taking the restricted strips
there will be ample room for the wider
roadway and sidewalks.
Ideals for attractive street planning are
to be found in many parts of the United
States There is nothing more charming as
a rural street than that Of New England
village at its best-lofty aisles of le- fage,
the trees with feet in carpet of turf at
the sidewalk border; the houses. quiet and
unobtrusive, standing well back and marked
with the true home character, whether
they are humble cottages or abodes of the
rich. The noblest development of such rural
streets is to be found in the old towns Of
the Connecticut valley and in western Mas
sachusetts There the main highways have
an extraordinary generous width. often CIV
ing room for quadruple rows OF old elms
and broad spaces Of turf, the roadway re-
curing only narrow space in the total
width of the thoroughfare.

ETHERIZING LILACS.
How the Flowers Are Cheated Into
BloSsoming.

b1OSSOm1nR.
From the New York Mail and Express.
Flower growers have discovered how ia
produce lilacs in autumn, and in the COM
ing fall will put these pretty blossoms on
the market in considerable quantities. II
Is quite wonderful achievement, consider
ing how peculiarly they are associated with
the springtime, and the way in which 1t is
accomplished is most curious and interest
ing.
In a state of nature the lilac plant re-
quires a period Of rest before producing
flowers. That period is the winter, when the
cold enforces repose. But it is found that
the plant can be cheated into bIossoming
in autumn by exposing it to the fumes of
ether, which put 1t to sleep for a little
while, after which it proceeds to blossom
luxuriantly.
Florists grow the plants in pots, and In
the fall place them, pots and all, in a large
box which contains an uncorked bottle of
ether. In this manner they are exposed
to the ether vapor for forty-eight hours
the box being alright; and sometimes the
operation is repeated a few days later
start right in at blossoming, and the glass
gardener obtains fine crop of lilacs for
the early winter trade.
The process sometimes weakens the col
ors of the flowers, but this does not mat
ter in the case of lilacs, because the kind
preferred by florists is the white.

CHARACTER OF THE CANE

CdARACIER OF THE CANE.
| The apparent evenness of the growth
OF the young cane at the different eleya-
/ tons ranging from 800 feet near the
mill to 1000 feet, noted in last years re-
port, has continued to maturity The
cane is now being cropped at elevations
ranging from 500 feet to 1,SOO feet and
| the quality of cane at the various eie-
vations is nearly the same
1t was feared by some that owing to
this being a rainy district the sacchar-
Inc quality of the cane would be low.
This fear has been entirely disproved
however, as the following figures will
show:
The average of all Olaa cane ground,
including that from all elevations, plant
and ratoons, and being part Lahaina.
part Rose Bamboo, and part Yellow
Bamboo. up to the 31st day of December.
Is as follows:

| contracts.
| SHARE PLANTING.
Three forms of shared planting con-
| tracts are in use on the plantation:
First, where the planter owns his own
vances to him:
Second. where the planter plows and
plants plantation land and furnishes
most of his own capital:
Third. where the plantation plows and
plants the land and then turns it over to
the planter to care for the cane until ma
turity.
Under the first two forms the cane is
purchased by the plantation at so much
per ton. the price being on a sliding
scale based on the current price of su-
gar.
Under the third form a fiat rate of SO
much per ton of cane is paid to the
planter.
Under the first form 80 planters are
now cultivating under contract with the
plantations:
Under the second form 60 planters are
cultivating about GOO acres under con-
tract with the plantation:
Under the thir6 form 400 contractors
are cultivating 3,175 acres.
A much larger number of outside
landowners are anxious to plant cane for

from doing it by lack of capital AS

do so l strongly advise that reasonable
advances be made to reliable planters.

FUMES.

The main fume from the water head TO

to the Volcano road, has been completed
1t meets the Volcano road just above the
so-called Peck Road" al about eighteen
! miles, being a little over mile from
Mountain View. approximately ten miles
| above the mill.
From this main supply fume, two
! fumes for carrying cane have been con-
structed longitudinaliy through the fields
to the mill. and a third one will be com
pleted within a month. a fourth will be
constructed Immediately. These four
with cross fumes. from one to the other,
cover the entire territory for ten miles
above the mill, and will enable the fun
ing of all cane lying between the mill
and an elevation of 800 feet About 40
miles of fumes are now constructed
Considerable doubt having been ex-
pressed by practical fuming men. as TO
the feasibility OF keeping the mill sup
pied by cane fumes from the distances
required, and with the amount of water
available at Olaa, am glad to say that
nearly two months experience has de-
monstrated the entire practicability of
TINS method OF transportation, under the
conditions presented at Olaa. In fact
with only one fume in operation, using
between four and five million gallons per
twenty-four hours, n delivery of over
sixty tons of cane per hour has been ac-
complished, keeping the mill in continu-
