AS it is fact that San Juan county
has always carried of first prize Oh
fruits when exhibiting against Colorado
fruits, the following from John Cham
berlain Of Erie county, New York, in the
Country Gentleman, is worth reproduc-
ing in these columns:
During the sessions of the Fruit
Growers association at Buffalo, made
the discovery that the great west is en-
gagged in undermining our home orchard
industry, and should like to ask few
questions on the subject;
"One Of the city growers showed me
perhaps the finest lot of apples | ever
saw, at least outside of show collec-
tion, and they would have gone far
ahead of most apple shows. Had they
been made of wax most of them could
not have been improved upon. All Of
the delcacF Of color, Tho H,ggr tioa Of
transparency, that gives such life to any
fruit that possesses it, and the variation
Of color almost from the white to black,
that artificial ingenuity could suggest or
desire were there The fruit exhibited
was most pleasing merely as an ndivid-
ual characteristic, variety OF appearance
though this was, for it was plainly all of
one variety.
The grocer said the apples came from
Colorado and we're called the Jonathan.
Well, our Brother Jonathan may well
feel proud of his namesake in this case,
for it would be hard to improve upon it.
When undertook to price the fruit |
found that it was selling at about S. a
bushel, and as mere show it vas worth
it if customer could afford that sum
for display in what he bought. But here
comes the distressing part of the case so
far as the fruit grower of Western New
York is concerned. The grocer said he
was selling lot Of these apples because
it was impossible to get any raised about
here that would at all compare to them,
81 had always supposed that this state
as whole was ahead in apple raising,
and it is still maintained that the New

exhibit was the finest ever made, and yet

large stumps near the west location
tell of some majestic trees that stood
there in the old days. We secured
four or five views in the vicinity.
We retraced our steps east and
south. Our next stop was at the home
of Jacob Foshager who had recently
been elected clerk of School District
No. Sc, but, as we learned, did not
qualify for the position. We were
made welcome to stay for dinner. Mr..
Foshager and young wife are bright

pleasure to meet. Preparations were

Henry, one of the Foshager brothers,
is about to return to St. Olof's college
at Mortified where he enters the
junior class this fall. Our next stop
was at the beautiful home of S. A.
Syverson.
Mr.. Syverson has taken a leading
part in the public affairs of his Sec
ton. He has served as county COM
missioner, Town chairman and clerk,
for a number of years.. We found
him the custodian of number of re-
cords of organizations of Arctander.

officiated since the organization of the

pany. A full day of close work was
required to complete our notes, and
Mr.. Syverson gave us much valuable
assistance. The ladies treated US
with kind hospitality, and our stay at
this home was very pleasant one.
The view southwark from the Syver-
son home is. a far reaching one. The
eye commands a scene extending
across the valley of Shakopee creek
eight or ten miles into the townships
of Lake Andrew, Dovre and Mamre.
We next drove to the village of Nor
way Lake, or as it is popularity called,
"Jericho." Oliver Halvorson is the
proprietor of the general store. Oscar
Hallquist is the butter-maker at the
creamery, Martin Walby conducts the
wagon shop, S. G.. Sorenson is the
blacksmith, Halvor Thorson runs
the feed mill and Stengrim Arneson
repairs boots and shoes. We drove
over to the parsonage of the United
Norw. Luth. churches, where the Rev.
Sotendahl resides, to secure facts from
the ministerial records for both the
East and West churches. While 20.

The postmaster general has directed
that railroad trains not carrying
mail cars be allowed to carry news
papers to the dealers along the routes,
and that such packages be handled
by the baggagemen and be considered
as United States mail and subject to
all of the protection that goes there
with. This will enable the readers of
the great dailies to receive their papers
much earlier than formerly in many
cases, but will also place every train
in the country under the protection OF
the United States government, as
being mail trains, strikers are for
transit in any way under penalty Of
the federal law It will be great boon
to the railroad companies. -Hallock
Weekly News( Rep }.
The order was undoubtedly intended
as measure of protection to the
railroads against strikers. It may,
however, prove 8 boomerang. One
of the stock arguments used with
railroad workmen against government
ownership of railroads has been that
If the railroads were owned by the
government it would be impossible
for the workers to inaugurate a
successful strike. Now that the pro-
lection of the government is to- be
thrown around the roads anyway the
laborers may make, up their minds
that they would sooner have the
government own the roads, because it
would be easier to serve one master
than two. Then, too, they would
have a voice in the selection of the
master, and there would be no big
corporation to back any admins
tration that might try to Cypress the
labOrers.

We closed our interesting visit at the
parsonage and made our way to the
home of A. 81. Gordhamer, who is
clerk of Dist. No. SO. Here we secured
notes from the remaining records of
the district and were treated with the
kindest hospitality. The week proved
too short to finish our work, and it
will be necessary to make another
visit into this community before our
notes are fairly complete. Our next
visit will be to the Township of

Most of the people whom we meet

the old people slip away from. the
scenes of this life and in somei in
stances that we have met with have
not even left written record of their
own family. But there are few who
seem to be so afraid of being "taken
in" that they can spare neither time or
q few dollars of their accumulation to
assist in properly recording the hist
DRY which they have assisted in max
ing. The large number of fakirs and
get-rich-quick schemers which infest the
country make a good deal of caution
necessary, but the fact that this work
is undertaken by home firm instead

that should count for something. We
do not say this because we are not
