ERRORS ABOUT THE WHITE
HOUSE.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
noticed somewhere recently
would not say positively that it was in
your columns--an article on the White
House which contained several mis-
statements.
In the first place it was stated the
White House was first occupied in
1909 and that it's first occupant was
President Madison. The fact is. its
first occupant was President Adams,
who took up his residence there in
1900
The original mansion was begun in
1892. In 1914 it was burned by the
British and rebuilt in 1918.
Another of the errors in the article
referred to was the statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on the
White House to make it beautifully
white.
I noticed this especially because
have used considerable paint myself
and wondered that canned" paint
should be used on such an important
building when all painters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.
1t so happened also that 1 knew
white lead and linseed oil-not ready
mixed paint-were used on the White
House, because | had just read a book
let published by a firm of ready-mixed
paint manufacturers who also manu-
facture pure white lead. In that book
the manufacturers admitted that for
the White House nothing but "the
best and purest of paint could be
used" and said that their pure white
lead had been selected.
Above all people, those who attempt
to write on historical subjects should
give us facts, even if it is only a date
or statement about wood, or brick,
or paint, or other building material.
Yours for truth,

The Klondike country has fur
nlshed its share of romantic stories
of separated families and the return
of wealthy individuals who have been
srubstaked and come home with
wealth untold, but there is more to
the story of Judson E. Lathrop than
the mere returning with gold galore,
for he finds that his wife is divorced,
and that his mother and sister have
passed away. For fourteen years
lathrop had not heard from his rela-
tives, and it was generally believed
he was dead
Fourteen years ago Mr.. Lathrop
was travelling on the road for mill
ing company, but very little of his
money went for the comforts of his
family, in fact did very little to sup
port them. and they were left more
or less to their own devices TNis
was due to the fact that his love for
drink took what belonged rig',+f"'lv
to his wife and children. Starting
out on one of his trips he left home
fourteen years ago, and has never re-
turned until the present, not even
writing home or giving any clue to
his whereabouts. Two weeks ago he
returned to his home at Appleton,
and informed his son Alfred, who is
employed in a railroad Office at Mil
waukee, of his desire to renew his
standing with his family. His son no.
titled him of his acceptance after writ
ing to his sisters, Misses Hazel and
Bernice Lathrop of Mitchell. The
meeting occurred at Summit, S. D.,
where Mr.. Lathrop has brother
teaching school. The Misses Lathrop
returned to their home at Mitchell,
and gave the incidents of their faith
er's absence.
Mr.. Lathrop started for the Klon-
dixie with $50 in cash, and on reach
ing Seattle he was without funds, but
was taken through by party of
friecds who were making the trip
together. On reaching the gold fields
the party went 5000 miles into the
interior and started their operations.
At the end of five years Mr.. Lathrop
had amassed $4,000, and with that
he started back home. On reaching
Ketchikan he was taken sick with the
scurvy, and for one year he lay sick
in the hospital, and when he came
out he said he did not have a dollar
left of his small fortune. There was
nothing for him to do but to make
the start all over again, and he met
with better results He secured a
number of mines that were profitable
and he sold out a portion Of them
for 100000, retaining about thirty

Alum Bakinq Powder Is Wholesome.


DR. Herman Reinbold, the expert
German chemist. in a recent official
report concerning Baking Powders,
declares that pure alum baking pow
der is better and less injurious than
the so-called cream of tartar powders.
He says that If the quantity of alum
contained in sufficient quantity OF
baking powder for batch of bread or
cakes for an ordinary family, be con-
centrated to one mouthful of food.
and taken int. the stomach of any
one person, no matter how delicate,
it could do no harm. On the contrary,
alum is wholesome in proper quanti-
ties. This is undoubtedly the reason
the State of Missouri quickly repealed
a law that prohibited the manufacture
of the most wholesome of all baking
powders. So much for Alum Baking
Powders.

My predicament,' said the con-
gresham, reminds me of the sad
case of an old constituent near Kan

it was necessary to take a trolley car
to Kansas City, seven miles away.

WHO CAN TELL?

To THE EDITOR; Will you kindly
give space in your columns for an
inquiry concerning the origin and
meaning of the names of the town
ships, villages, postoffices, railway
stations, rivers, creeks, lakes, and
the hills or bluffs, etc., in your
county? When a name is for some
early settler or other person "a state
ment is desired as to the place where
he was born and the date, also the
year when he came to Minnesota,
and when he settled in your county.
For any name of Indian origin,
the meaning or significance of the
name is desired; and for other
names, as Grow river, Green Lake,
etc., why these names were so ap-
piled. In short, give the reason,
whenever it can be learned, why
each name, from whatever deriva-
ton, was so adopted and given to
the township, village, postoffice,
railway station, river or creek, lake
hill or bluff.
Such information from various
citizens, communicated to your
paper and published in its successive
issues, will interest all your readers.
An attempt is being made thus for
each of the eighty-three counties OF
our state. Then from these news
papers, which are received in oul
society's library in the new capitol
we shall compile all this informa
ton in alphabetic order as volume
on Minnesota Geographic Names, .
for publication by this society
