USING BORDEAUX MIXTURE.

AS fruit growers become more fa-
miliar with the uses Of Bordeaux mix
ture they more thoroughly appreciate
its value, although experiments during
the past season demonstrate that il has
been used stronger than is necessary
except where the plants have been in
tested unusually bad. The most de-
sirable formula is four pounds of cop
per sulphate and four pounds of un-
slaked lime TO forty gallons OF water
Place the copper in an old bag and
hang it In a few gallons of water un-
til dissolved. The lime should be
slaked and then strained into the cop
per solution, at the same time adding
the balance of the water. When the
mixture is to be used it should be kept
stirred. so that the ingredients will
be well mixed. AS the mixture is given

papers, while weak, were an annoy
ance, always in the way when large
enterprises We're in prospect. It was
not specially difficult thru Colonel
Kings skilful management to get con-
troll Of the Tribune, and it was done,
quietly, oh, so quietly.
An evening paper, the Evening Mail,
run by couple of printers, had an
old, secondhand Cincinnati press
which printed about seven hundred
copies an hour. It issued about 4
p. m. every day, in the winter some
what later, and had to be delivered
after dark. It had a franchise in the
western Associated Press, and an in
dependent, restless spirit. Confessed
~ 1T was poor paper, lacking facil-
tues and capital. A large portion of
the papers delivered to subscribers
were found in the spring in their front
yards when the snow was cleaned
away.
The Mail was in the way of the
promoters of the consolidation, and
they sent man to buy it. The pro-
prietors were told Of project to
start another evening paper in oppo-
sition with ample capital, which meant
blue ruin to them. Finally, after
some negotiations and many threats
and promises, the publishers of the
Mail regretfully offered to take $685.
600 for what had actually cost them
about $1,000. Refused point blank:
more threats ensued. Price reduced to
$4,000, then to $4,000, finally com
promised at $12,500 cash. Having
nothing but the franchise, the publi-
cation was stopped.
Then the transformation took place
which disclosed the whole scheme, the
absorption Of all the daily papers of
Minneapolis into the Pioneer Press, to

was from the first conservative, in
dependent weekly, devoting itself to
the interests of the influential Ger
man colony that added SO much to the
early progress of Minneapolis. 1t sup
ported good men for office and was
usually republican in rational affairs
up to 1892. Since that time it has
democratic sentiment. Anton Grethen
and DR.. A. Ortman were the first edi-
tors, who served without pay. The
first salaried editor was Theodore
Hllscher, who now, in his eightieth
year, Is still living in the state Of
Texas.
Mr.. Naegele conducted the F'reie
Presse until 1889, when he sold 1t to
syndicate, and Emil Ferrant and
Richard F. Schmidt became managers.
Mr.. Naegele now lives in Seattle,
Wash, and is publishing a prosperous
German paper, called the Washington
Staats-Zeitung.
In 1890 the paper was bought by
another syndicate, with Mr.. Guldbran-
son as publisher. Later the Mime
apolis Herold was consolidated with
the Freie Presse, under the name
Freie Presse-Herold. The present
managers are Joseph L. Kiichli and
Adolph Duezel. The present editor is
Charles Baehr, who has occupied this
position since 1889.
The Nordisk Folkeblad, Norwe-
gian weekly started in Rochester,
Mimi, was removed to Minneapolis i'll
1868, and published by F. Snedorf
Christensen. Christensen sold it to the
Skandinaven in Chicago in 1876.
The Minnesota Weekly (Norwegian)
was established by c.. F. Solberg in
1870. In 1872 it was absorbed into
1Sfi ILL
Hanson and F. A. Husher, who were
succeeded by Luth Jaeger, who pub
lished a strong paper. It is now con-
tinued and is prosperous.
An old republican warhorse, z.
Demeules, who sat several terms in
the legislature, established Echo de
LOuest as a representative organ Of
the French-Canadians. and. ably con-
Quoted it until his death, when he was
succeeded by his son.
Professor Sven Oftedal of the Augs-
burg Theological seminary started the
Folkebladet, (Norwegian) as an organ,
Of that institution in 1877. The pro-
lessor is an able writer on political,
educational and general topics, and
his paper became q, power among his
countrymeil.
Colonel Hans Mattson, who earned
his title in the civil war at the head
OF a Minnesota regiment, ana VINO also
held responsible offices in the state
government, began a weekly Swedish
paper, called the Substituting, in 1875.
It was subsequently removed to St.
Paul.
There are few cities, certainly none
in the west, that have contributed a

the Morrison side. Kings stock in the
enterprise gave him dominating influ-
ence. The Washburn-Donnelly fight
came on, and Morrison was also a
candidate, making the usual local
division.
Washburn and his friends got con-

Politics the Main Thing.
Major George K. Shaw came to Min
neapolis in the spring of 1868. He
was then rs years old. He had never
been thru college. He had graduated
in a printing office, then he en-
listed, went to the front, got his COM
mission, served his time and came to
Minneapolis, bringing a letter of in
PRODUCTION from E. b. Washburne of
Illinois to his brother, General w. D.
Washburn of this city. Donnelly had
had a sharp controversy with the Illi-
nols Washburne on the floor of the
house Of representa- ives. Genera;
Washburn III Minnesota was a con-
testant for Donnellys seat in con-
gress, and his great br.ther could noc
have retaliated more effectively, nor
could he have served his brother, the
general, better than to hand young
Shaw that letter of introduction. The
contest in this district, which at
that time covered one quarter of
the state, was already furious.
General Washburns friends hav-

The district comprised Hennepin.

to Fletcher on account of his Vigor-

UP Albert Scheffer to beat him, and the
contest was very close. Late in the
preliminaries J. B. Gilfillan appeared
as candidate, altfo Fletcher had
practical control Of Hennepin county.
In the mixup which took place in the
convention, in which both parties
were playing political football with the

II. F. Barker of Isanti. county got con-

for Gilfillan across Fletcher's goal line;
and Gilfllan thereupon received the re-
publican nomination. Much controversy
followed, in which TIL e ourna
took prominent part on the Fletcher
side. The other newspapers Of the
city were lukewarm as to Gilfllan.
The machinery of the party, it's COM
mittees and principal workers, were
friends OF Fletcher and stood off, in
different to the success of the repub-
lican candidate. Gilf1llan had no news

tee, headed by Major c. B. Heffelfin-
ger, e. S. Corser and other active re-

J o u n a ! free to hammer Gilfillan
and his friends necessarily. The cleo
ton was approaching, the party dis
united, and there was great danger
that the election Of the democratic
candidate, o. G. Merriman, might re-
suit. 1t was necessary that something
committee instructed it's secretary to
take four columns of advertising
space on the third page of T h e
] o u rn a | and conduct it as an edi-
torial department in the defense of
the republican candidate for congress.
This was done. Over the head of these
four columns in large type were the
| words:
These four columns are employed
from now until the election by the re-
publican campaign congressional COM
mittee.''
In this space appeared daily four
columns of advocacy of Gilfillan's
election, defense of his position, and
of appeal to voters in his behalf
The result was as had been de-
sired. The regular organization was
compelled to fall into line behind the
Gilflllan flag, and he was elected by
good round republican majority.

The Merger That Would Not Merge.


One of the most interesting events in
the history Of Minneapolis newspapers
was the great consolidation act of 1876.
The st. Paul Press had gobbled UP the
Pioneer of that city. The Pioneer had
been for several years growing in cir
culation in Minneapolis. It had re-
Gently carried on a successful lottery
scheme, which had attracted thou
sands OF new subscribers. Its Mime
apolis department had been conducted
by Thomas S. King, clever news
gatherer, who had free hand in
treating all matters Of local concern.
He commented freely on individuals
and local issues, and kept his depart
ment sunny and attractive. He was
extremely popular, and maintained a
first floor office in the Nicollet house.
In the consolidation act the Pioneer
Press inherited all this. There were
unhealed quarrels to be healed, new
political divisions to be made, and
newspaper ambitions to be realized.
It was the dream Of the Pioneer Press
people to control all the daily papers
and their influence within a radius of
