"Wont Be No Core"

Dave Roberts, now of ST. Louis,
but in the early history of this town
one of the firm of Brinkman, Sooy &
Roberts, millers. is in the city today
greeting old friends.
Mr.. Roberts is interested in a new
apple that is destined to revoiutionize
the fruit business. He has the exclu-
sive right to introduce a seedless
apple in several western states. The
Scientific American of Feb. 4th says,
concerning this apple:
This marvellous Improvement in
the common apple, fulfilling in letter
as well as in spirit the jest of the
schoolboy, who proclaimed that there
amt going to be no core would seem
to indicate that the new apple will
eventually monopolize the markets
of the world, for reasons which the
appended data clearly point out.
SPY way of illustration, it may be
said that the seedless and coreless
apple follows closely the analogue
presented by the see Hess orange, and
is in fact a prototype of the latter.
When the seedless orange was intro
duced to the public, it was regarded
in the light of horticultural wonder,
for, if there were no needs, by what
uncanny method was their kind prop
agated.
The seedless apple, we are told
further. had its origin only a few
years ago, and its history is brief.
The credit for its propagation belongs
to John F Spencer, of Grand Junction
Colo. who after attempting forseveral
years to produce it, finally secured
FIVE trees that bore seedless, coreless,
and worthless apples. To quote
again:
From this little group have bud
ded two thousand more trees, which
at present constitute the entire seed.
less apple stock of the world; and
from these two thousand trees all the
rest of the world must be supplied.

The Cole and Baker Reception.

The reception given Friday after.
noon by Mrs. Judge Cole and Mrs.
Prof. Baker was one of the delightful
events of the social season. In the
afternoon about forty ladies were pres
ent, and two good natured contests
were participated in. They were
guessing the names of famous women
and the names of rivers from sentences.
The first was won by Mrs. Olinger.
who received box of lovely bon bons
and the second by Mrs. Orville Welt
mer, bouquet of nice carnations.
In the evening about 20 ladies and
their husbands were invited, and a
contest which furnished much amuse-
ment was participated in. Pictures
suggesting the names of books were
hung on The walls, and the guests
were requested to name them. Mrs.
c. Wollman was the fortunate one;
receiving an elegant book. Also con-
test for the ladies only, requiring them
to name trees from sentences given,
was won by Mrs. Chas. Allen, who
received carnations.
Elegant refreshments we're served
both afternoon and evening and the
reception was decided social sue
cess.

GREAT NORTHERN TALK.
Plenty of 1t, But Apparently No Direct
Action by the Company.

The Pioneer Press of recent date
says ''that there is talk of several
extensions of the Great Northern
lines. Word comes from Marshall
that the Marshall Hutchinson extern
sion is assured and that the com
pany is already receiving construc-
ton material. The line if built
would be an extension of the line
now running west from st. Paul to
Hutchinson, distance of seventy
eight miles, and the route of the
new road will be about eighty miles
making the distance twenty miles
shorter from St. Paul to Marshall
and all points west of there on the
Sioux Falls, Yankton and Sioux City
branch of the Great Northern. The
new road if built will cross the Mil
waukee probably either at Olivia
or Bird Island and may enter Red
wood Falls, which is on the North
western and near the NJ. & ST. T.
From Redwood Falls the distance
to St. Paul would be decreased
twenty-five miles. 1t would also
give that town an opening to the
west which it does not have at pres
ent."
The Hutchinson Independent fol-
lows up the story of the Pioneer
Press with the following: "There
has been much curiosity expressed
as to why, as has been given out, if
the Great Northern is extended from
here, it will go out thru the northern
part of the city, in view OF the fact
that the extension would strike di-
rect for the southwest. A gentle
man was telling the Independent
short time ago that he had it from
good authority in Great Northern
circles that it was the intention to
run far enough west from Hutchin-
son to take care of the Lake Lillian
country. In conversation day or
two ago with a gentlemen who is in
close touch with railroad matters,
and was at one time connected with
the Great Northern, he expressed
the belief that such a view was a
mistaken one. It's carrying out,
he said, would defeat the very pur-
pose that would cause the extension
to be made-the shortening of the
distance TO the southwest. Mr..
Hill has his eye on the southwest
and the growing traffic there, con-
tinued our informant, and he will
take the shortest cut to get advan-
tage of it. 1t may be his purpose
to take care of the Lake Lillian
people, but it will be in some other
way. AS to going out through the
north part of the city there is moth
ing so very strange about that.
Their depot and yard are in a con-
venient location and they would be
10th to give them up for a location
that would take them clear out to
one side of the city, while | under
stand there are matters connected
with the right of wav which will
make it as practical to 90 out thru
the north part of the city as in any
other way.
