a Letter From California.

TURLocK, CAL, Feb. 16, 1903.
Editors of The Willmar Tribune:
Gentlemen:-I will send you few
lines from far off California.
We are now safely here, and settled
down, and we have no objections to
California whatever.
The climate here is fine, although
this winter has been q little colder
than usual. Not more than q little
frost in the mornings, so we are not
disguised at all, that we left the cold
weather in Minnesota for the SUNNY
climate we came to.
We have also q good neighborhood.
far better than we expected to get,
with good neighbors all around.
The soil is also fine, although it is
sandy. We found grapevines here on
our farm that were over Is feet long,
which were grown last summer.
One of our neighbers picked off a
bunch of grapes last summer, that
weighed - pounds.
We have been busy all winter seed
ing grain and alfalfa.
There is rush out here now. Peo-
pie are coming in to Turlock nearly
every day, and those that have settled
down are busy planting fruit trees,
and it is also time for planting pota-
toes and gardens.
will also send you check for one
dollar and half Isl 5o) the subscrip-
ton of your papsr for another year.
1t is to us a we come guest that visits
US regularly twice week, and brings
much interesting news from our
friends whom we left in Kandiy obi
county.
I will now close for this time. with
best rega1 ds to you all.
I am yours truly,
DAVID ANDERSON.

H. Skabo died at the age of so
years: He was a very useful and good
and popular citizen in his day. He
entered practical life as shipowner
and manufacturer of pulleys at
Drammen, and later on he started the
first railroad car factory in Norway
at the same place. This plant was
removed to Bygdo, where a large es-
tablishment was built up. Mr.. Ska
DO was sole proprietor of the plant
until a few years ago. His excellent
qualities as an employer and his I'M
usual generosity made him an OBJ
ject of admiration and love, and many
indeed are those who mourn the de-
parture of Mr.. Skabo.
Inc forestry aSSOclatlOne OF braL-
berg amt County, has published its
report. for 1902. This association,
which is made up of thirteen local
societies and 116 general members,
planted 81 100 pine trees, q, 100 spruce
trees, 100 larch trees, 100 oak trees
and 100 beech trees last year. About
60 pounds of seed was also distributed
and about $4,000 trees are supposed to
have been started by school children
who received IS pounds of seed. This
illustrates what is done in the line
of tree planting by local societies in
Norway in our day. Tree planting is
embraced with a genuine enthusiasm
which neither old nor young seem to
escape.

M'RAE STILL COGITATING.

Former Congressman T. o. McRae of Prescott, who spent Thursday and Friday in Little Rock, in consultation with some of his closest political friends and, although no authorized statement has been given out, it is understood that the race for governor was the subject under consideration with reference to McRae's entry into the arena as candidate. Whether or not MT. McRae will be candidate is apparently not yet settled. Among the politicians the question is an in- teresting one and there is much speculation as to what the Prescott statesman will do. Indications are that he will in a short time make defi- nite and final announcement of his intentions in the matter. Mir. McRae is at present busily engaged in the practice oflaw.

BOURLAND's PRESUMPTION.
Asks People to Let Davis Name Ticket From Top to Bottom Vandeven- ter Handled the Little Hero
 Worshiper Without Gloves.

Ash Flat, Aug. 31.-Judge Carroll D. Wood, Hon. A. F. Vandeventer and Judge Bourland, who represented Gov. Davis, addressed crowd of B. 900 people here Saturday. Inasmuch as the rival candidates for governor had all accepted the invitation to be present, Gov. Davis' friends were very much disappointed in his failure to put in appearance.
 Judge Wood was the first speaker, and for an hour and a quarter held the large crowd spellbound. Judge Bour- land was the next to speak, and de- livered one of his characteristic speeches. Asking permission of the crowd to remove only his collar, later he asked permission to remove his coat, then finally asked permission to roll up his pants, all of which was mer- rily granted by some and reluctantly granted by others. He pleaded hard for Davis, and oft and repeatedly proclaimed his loyalty to Davis in no unmistaken terms. In conclusion, with his appeal to the people to give Gov Davis another term, he inciden- tally mentioned his candidacy for attorney general and stated that if the people would re- elect Davis, elect him attorney general and some one in l accord with the governor for secre- tary of state or auditor, the governor could then carry out his own ideas and plans as to state affairs and be satis- fled.
 MT. Vandeventer was the next speaker and he proceeded at once to go after Governor Davis and Judge Bourland with ''tongs" and 'claws, y renarking to Judge Bourland, 1T will deal with you as you deserve, because fyou called me 'cat.'" Mir. Vande- .venter referred to Judge Bourland's 's loyalty to the governor and quoted a part of his speech in which he stated that he would stand on his head in tho mud of the streets of Little Rock for Gov. Davis. He expressed his opin- ion forcibly of man that would make n statement of that kind to an intelli- gent audience. Mir. Vandeventer showed 9ov. Davis record on the purchase of a convict farm, the par don of Dr. Johnson and numerous oOner items, all of which were sup i ported by affidavits. Mir. Vandeven- ter's speech was we'll received and was loudly cheered and applauded.
 Judge Wood closed the speaking in a fifteen minute rejoinder, in which he was cheered repeatedly, and at the Close of his speech the entire crowd was gathered around the speakers eager to hear every word uttered. At the close of Judge Woods speech there was rush to meet the speakers. The public demonstration showed honors pretty evenly divided.

AFTER FUNDS.
County Commissioners Hear
Pleas of Various Nature.
Keep Their Temper And
Give Some Comfort.

The board of county commissioners
had a most busy time yesterday. The
first delegation to call ON them, was
the persons interested in the promo
tion of the High Line canal project.
Considerable time of the afternoon
was taken in hearing presentation
ot the matter nv Mr.. L. @. Henry.
Following this delegation COM
mittee from the horticultural society
consisting of Hon A. B. Hoyt, Will
liam Bomgardner. J. f. Spencer and
A. Q. Newton and asked that they be
given am appropriation by which this
county could make proper exhibit at
the irrigation Congress at Ogden, the
State Fair at Pueblo and incidentally
Peach Day.
Mr.. Hoyt presented the case for his
committee and the board promised to
take the matter under consideration.
Another committee. the executive
committee of the Peach Day celebra-
ton appeared and asked for hearing.
which was most graciously granted by
the board. Chairman l.. NJ. Miller,
very forcibly presented the cause of
the Peach Day committee. He asked
that the board make them an appro-
priation solely for the purpose OF pay
ing premiums on horticultural and ag-
ricultural products.
The presentation by Chairman Mil
Ter was supplemented by l. N. Bunt-
ing in a short talk. The commission
res after patiently hearing the plea of
the committee said that they would
take action upon the matter later on.
The three committees and the pre-
sentation of their pleas made quite u
lengthy session for the board of coun-
ty commissioners, but at the conclus-
ion of the session they appeared none
the worse for their experience.

Judge Frank W. Overs. who is now

Judge Overs have apparently been
with the workingman. Whether they
are genuine or for political purposes
only, it is not for us to say He is
an aristocrat i'll manner and make up
by heredity. He saw his opportunity
during the populist craze in this state
to advance his political fortunes and
he has not missed opportunity. in ad-
yancing them. Very few who know
Judge Overs believe at heart that he
is populist. That he is man of
strong will and determination, none
will contradict who have his acquain-

thing would be popping when he went
to Georgetown to sit on The district
bench in that district, during the alb

Death Of W. c. Don Carlos.

AS was announced by the papers Of
this city last week, W. @. Don Carlos
committed suicide at Mangum, Okla,
but the particulars given were incOr-
rect. According to the information
furnished by ]. NJ. Tadlock, of Ell
Reno, Don Carlos was at a hospital
under care for an attack Of delirium
tremens. Imagining that mob was
attacking him, he cut his throat In
several places with pocket knife.
The jugular vein was not touched but
the wounds were deep and he bled
profusely. They were inflicted early
Friday morning and death occurred
about 10 o'clock Saturday MORN
ing. The injection Of Stimulants kept
the old gentleman alive for sometime,
but the loss of blood was too great for
him to recover. The report that he
drank carbolic acid was a mistake.
Mrs. Don Carlos was in very weak
condition and was sent away Saturday
afternoon without knowledge of her
husbands death.

1.-THE Rose Maiden"

The above Is the title of a cantata
rendered by the students of Emporia
College on the evening Of the Goth.
1t is Of interest here because one OF
the principal features Of the evening
was the solo work by Miss Susie Town.
Sley of this city, which compared fay.
orably with that of Mr.. Ed Strong, a
tenor soloiSt Of Kansas City. Com
menting upon the entertainment the
Rmporia Gazette has this to say;
"Emporia has a lot of good judges
of choral singing and most of these
who heard the cantata last night are
extravagant in their praise Of the Col.
iege chorus. The audience was ex.
ceptiOnally warm In its reception OF
the whole piece but the numbers
which seemed to take" best were the
solos by Mr.Strong and Miss Townsley
and the bridal chorus" which the
chorus was kind enough to repeat at
the request OF the audience. The
work of Miss Townsley was remark.
able from the fact that this was her
first appearance in solo work"
