Friday night the band played, the

tho city police court room. The citi.
zens overhead.
Cheering was literally INDUCED
down stairs. and great enthusiasm was
awakened by the speakers. In re-
Spouse there would be trampling and
applause upstairs.
Il was generally thought the meet.
ing Of the Citizens was public. but re
porters who went in found such was
not the case. The meeting was in the
street commissioners office, and was
for planning their campaign. and
agreeing on a suitable candidate for
mayor.
The Citizens hold mass primaries in
each ward this afternoon. and a dele
gate convention at the city hall next
week 10 nominate a mayor.
Next week the campaign will be
carried on in every ward. Both cides
viii use printed matter and space in
the newspapers. A clean, energetic
campaign will be a good thing to
arouse dormant interest of citizens
generally to taking a more active part

spring, just before they germinate,
rake off as much as thought advisable.
The seeds will do the rest.
| consider the growing OF apple
trees from seed, where the trees are to
remain permanently, matter of i'm
portance, greater than 1 have words to
express. Truly, it is experimental, as
Prof. Hansen says, but would regard
the experimental part more as per-
tanning to the hardness OF the tree
than to the quality Of fruit. Many Of
these trees will be tender while young.
Lay them down and cover, the first
two years. 1t is easily done. After
this they will be in shape to take care
of themselves If they are any good.
Such trees, as trees alone, are the best
that can be produced. Imean thepe
|centage Of them that prove hardy.
They are longer lived, more prolific,
and seem to grow harder with age.
Nowfor the fruit, Can you who live
out on the prairie, perhaps haven't
quite paid for the farm yet. and have
Inosmoney to invest in something bet
lter, can youimagine ahundred bushels
OF any kind of apples that wouldn't be
lssgood.'
Keep on planting the best trees as
Recommended for your localities, but
plant seeds too. Plant in squares 10
Tor twelve feet each way dozen or so
/ OF seeds in a place, and at the end of
1.-Two years destroy all but the best one.
Last fall, among, the apples I put
into my cellar, was a barrel Of Iowa
Blush. The children saved the seeds
on a strife as to which should find the
greatest number inan apple. The rec
ord stood something over twenty. with
an average probably OF ten. There was
not a wormy apple in the barrel. When
the barrel was half gone, they counted
1850 seeds. They are allnow planted,
HEprobably 5000. With home-saved
seeds, it is quite possible to have them
Iall grow. These 5000 No. apple
1.seedlings would be worth $3.50 pei
Thousand. The apples cost me $3.50
When you buy barrel of apples
4 did you ever stop to think that the
4 Iseeds, properly handled, just as any
Intelligent man can easily handle
/ ithem, are worth four or five times az
much as the apples? Still you throw

II Our boys in town including our
Representative Kribs, have fine times
catching fish near the Artesian Well.
What with having wet feet and cold
hands. they have lots of fun.
Did it ever occur to you that we
have no Justice of Peace in Columbia.
Now we are a very law-abiding body
OF citizens but we can't understand
the idea Of an Office seeking the man.
Already in our short career as Il
journalist we have been likened
to war correspondents. Now we
know a war corresp ndent exagger-
ates but what columns are more
sought after in the papers than his.
The Woodman Lodge will give an
other of their successful dan ses, Fri
day evening, Feb. 9Th. Everson's Or
chestra will furnish the music and
that fact alone insures a good time.
Supper will be furnished by the ladies.
Mayor Bowman bears the distirc-
tion of being the only Ancient Odd
Fellow in this vicinity;in fac, there
are very few in the state. That de-
gree requires twenty-five years mem
bership Of good standing in the order,

personal property, Feb. 10Th, at his
farm north of here. He has some
fine live stock and considerable farm
machinery. Mr.. Knapp and family
will move to Cottage Grove. Oregon,
soon after the sale.
The prospects for building in this
vicinity this spring are fine. Agent
Osborne of the j. s, Hart Company,
reports calls for estimates to be quite
numerous. A great many farmers
moved into this section last fall and
more coming in the spring.
A western horseman Sundayed In.
Columbia this week and we noted
from his conversation that western
horses are rapidly coming to the front
in the market. By western horses,
we mean those that are branded. In,
the past, eastern people stuck to the
motion that all branded horses were
bronchos and a broncho is not popu-
| lar with them.
| Redfield is being stirred up over
the dog question, that is over city IL
cense. An attorney allowed himself
to be arrested in order to test the
legality of the license. Nothing de
veloped of the case that pertained to
! the question in view but all those
people who persist in keeping pigs
and COWS within the limits for the
edifcation of the neighborhood were
I the first ones to register sick on
