An interesting thing in town is the grade and
trestle of the railroad reaches the valley and
is about fifty rods long and forty fifty feet high in
the highest place built of great logs driven into
the ground upon which beams fastened the
rails laid upon them For long time it considered
unsafe and the trains went very slowly when they
it. Then the railroad company filed it up with EARTH

That which makes Frazee interesting to
me is spot in the suburbs of the town. I
often long for the house among the trees
called "home.'' With it's beautiful trees all
around it and short distance down the hill,
the Ottertail river winding it's way in and
out of the woods, more beautiful place
cannot be found. On the bank Of the river
and among the trees we had place cleared
where we spent the warm summer afternoons.
A number Of logs had been fixed together to
serve as a foot-bridge and pole had been
placed for us to hold to when crossing. The
bridge was not very safe, especially when
the water was high. It was often with shak-
ing knees that we crossed with it swaying
to and fro A little farther down the river
we could pick many kinds Of berries and
hazelnuts. In one place there was very

A LONG GAY HILL.

The interesting thing in town is large hill
which is used for coasting It seems to attract the at
tention of all and with the coming of the first
heavy snowfall the small boys prepare for satisfactory
slide. This hill is place of great merry-making on
moonlight nights. Here all meet equal footing

coasting like Tennyson's brook, go on forever"

The Right to Learn a Trade.

President Luther, of Trinity
College, in his address to the
American Institute of Instruct.
ors at New Haven on Wednesday,
uttered serious arralgnment of
his country when he said that the
best workmen in the country TO.
day are either old men or are I'M
ported from Europe. Whether
the actual conditions Justify so
extreme a statement 1t is not nee
essary to inquire, but If the re-
strictlons placed by the labor un-
ions upon apprentlceships do not
yield such results the fault will
not lie with those bodies. Under
the selfish and short sighted poll
cy Of the unions the American
boy is at present practically de-
MED the right to learn trade,
and if it be true that the stand
ard of American workmanship is
steadily and surely deterioratlng,
as alleged, the cause can be trac-
ed directly to the authors of that
policy IN the trades unions of the
country.
The remedy for this lamentable
condition of affairs will be found
in the acquisition of common
sense by those who direct the af-
fairs of the unions. The prospect
of any immediate nation
of this sort Is unfortunately re.
mote, so the next best thing will
be for the State to undertake that
which could and should be done
in the shops, mills and factories.
Theesta blishmentof trade schoos,
in which the boy could learn to
use his hands free from the ieal
Gus interference of incompetent
journeymen o. the one hand, and
from the greedy exactions of an
unprincipled employer on the
other, might 90 a long way to-
ward the solution Of the problem
and the restoration of high
standard Of American workman.
ship. 1t may be, as President
Luther maintains, that a bright
boy could learn more in two years
IN such school than in four IN
the shop under an apprentice
system, but such schools would
reach only portion of the boys
who ought to have the opportun-
ity to learn trade, and the shops
should not be closed to them.
