Chas. Ilett's misfortune a week
ago, in losing his valuable team thru
the ice, prompted a generous dona-
ton of about $3.50 on the part of
his friends in the city, for the pur-
chase of another team. Mr.. lett
had refused 1926 for the team lost,
but the action of his friends has put
him in good heart to go ahead. His
wagon and the bodies of the horses
were pulled out of the lake soon
after the accident, with plenty of
volunteer assistance.

A letter from O. W. Mcmillan,
now of North Yakima, Wash, to
N. B. Andersen of this city, under
date of Feb. 18th, was recently
handed to us. Mr.. Mcmillan states:
eve like our new home very much
and do not think that we will ever
go back to Minnesota to live. Our
winter has been very mild and not
much like Minnesota winters. Just
finished blowing and dragging my
orchard last Saturday and the
ground is in fine shape 1t seems
queer to us to see people blowing
all winter long. A farmer here has
all winter to do his fall work and /
get ready for seeding in the spring.
When l saw .Kuenzli & Luscher's
adv. about New York apples | won
dered if they were New York or
North Yakima apples, because last
fall there were several New York
buyers here all fall buying apples
for shipment to New York. | sold
all mine to New York parties and
there were over 100 carloads shipped |
from here in one month to that city.
This is certainly great fruit coun-
try and over 100000 trees will be
set out this spring. While the prin
cipal fruit grown is apples, still we
raise the finest pears and peaches
in the world right in this valley.
Building in and out Of town has
been going on all winter and several
large blocks are under way now
one to cost over 100000 when
finished. Vic Persons has been
working on it for month. They
are putting in the foundation for a
court house to cost 100000 and the
Baptist and Christian church build
ings will cost about $4,000 each.
Other improvements are being car
ried on by other church and secret
societies. All the Redwood crowd
here are we'll and | have not heard
any of them say that they wanted
to go back to Redwood to live. We
have a Minnesota club here with
over 500 members, so you see that
we are not the only people who
have left the old state. joan
O'Hara, an old Redwood boy, has
opened real estate office here and
is doing a rushing business. Met

Tyson has just found house and
is commencing to live. 1t is almost
