It has been said that time cannot be
lived over again, but have come to
the conclusion that even that can be
done. In Colorado my watch had to
be turned back one hour and that hour
had to be lived over again, and in
Idaho the same thing was repeated, so
practically two hours had to be lived
over, which brings an eastern person
two hours out of balance. The watch
can be turned back without any diff.
Guilty, but the changing of a PERSONS
constitution is not so easily done. A
person will feel like going to bed at
six and get out of bed when the rooster
crows in the morniog. Dinner will
taste very good at ten, supper at four,
etc. But am now getting over that
difficulty.
Went out to Puyallup to make a call
on Mr.. and Mrs. Erick Truedson.
Mr.. Truedson will be remembered as
one of the well-known pioneer drug
gists, with Dale g. Roise, and Mrs.
Truedson, then Tomine Negaard, was
saleslady in Dale & Roise's store.
They have eight fine lots, a modern
residence and a fine drugstore, and
are prospecting. I also called on that
Great Northern standby, conductor
Casper Sand, brother of Anton Sand
of Green Lake. On account of poor
health Mr.. Sand has quit railroading
and bought a house here to live and
recreate.
called on Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Vog,
formerly of Willmar, who are also
getting along nicely. Took the street
car for ten mile run to Parkland,
suburb of Tacoma, to see the academy
in charge of Prof. N. j. Hong. The
location is fine; tall evergreen trees,
with the underbrush cleared away,
make it beautiful place, we'll deserv-
ing it's name. Had dinner at the cosy
home of Hanna Hong, now Mrs. John
son, where I also met Miss Inga and
the parents, Mr.. and Mrs. T. o. Hong.
[ also saw Mrs. A. Hagen, widow of
the former hardware dealer in New
London. She lives with her mother,
Mrs. Weinberg. Mr.. Hagen left Ken
sington, Mimi, last September with
his family to make his home in Park
land, but he never reached his destin
alton; dying on the train going out.
Mrs. Hagen and five children now sur
vive him, the youngest being about a
month old.
| I also met the well-known Kandiyo-
hi pioneer, J. A. Jacobson, who
bravely took up pioneer life, took part
in organizing several townships, held
many Offices of trust and wound up his
career as auditor Of Kandiyohi coun-
ty. He now lives at Minot, N. D.,
and is prospecting. Mr.. and Mrs. ia
cobson are out here to cheat one Da-
kota winter. !
Have also called at the pleasant
homes of the Selvigs, who are all here
except Christian of Willmar and Dina
of Fergus Falls. They count forty in
all when under one roof. o B. Sell
Wig is feeling very enthusiastic over
his Christmas present sent him by his
brother-inlaw, Auditor Lewis John
son, namely copy of the History of
Kandiyohi County.
Spent one evening at the home of r..
ID Bloomfield, former station agent
at Willmar, and reviewed incidents
from the time when he was my boss as
baggage master and warehouse man.
Mr.. Bloomfield now holds the position
as claim agent for the Northern Paci-
flc, and w. G. Albee, once student at
telegraphy under Bloomfield at Will
mar, shines in his special car as super
intendent between Spokane: Wash.
and Portland, Oregon, with head
quar- ers here.
Have also seen J. Arntson, the first
school teacher, first depot agent, first
storekeeper, first grain buyer and first
;; postmaster at St. Johns, now Pen.
mock. Mr.. Arntson came here in 1882
is now Sc years old, but is quite active
< and very much interested in hearing
from his old tramping grounds. His
son, Martin Arntson; is glitterine
:; among the legal lights of Tacoma
I have had good time at his hospit
able home. His wife is sister of c.
A. Olson of Wil]mar. Have also Wis
y tied with her father, Mr.. N. G. Olson
!. who is one of Tacoma's well-know1
carpenters. His son, Bonnie Olson
is doing we'll and prospecting as ,
y plumber.
