PLANT PUBLIC FRUIT TREES
That Visitors May See What We Grow
In This State. g

SEC
In This State. g s.
To the Editor OF The journal. n
I wish to call attention to one plan of
advertising the twin cities and Minnesota,
which seems to have been overlooked,
that is the planting of fruit trees where
our own people and visitors will see
them.
The park boards should plant small
orchards wherever land is available in
parks and on boulevards. A few fruit
trees should also be planted on the new
capitol grounds and number of them
could we'll be planted on the old capitol
grounds and on the university campus.
The school children Of st. Paul have al.
ready planted about 1900 fruit trees.
Whenever I meet people from the south
and east, I find that many Of them still
hold to the mistaken idea that Minnesota
touches the confines of the arctic regions.
I know of no better way to combat this
false notion than to show our numerous
summer visitors that large variety Of
apples and other fruit will grow in Min
nesota. It is perfectly safe to do this
now, because fruit culture in Minnesota
has passed the experimental stage. and
the several organizations interested In
advertising the northwest should push
this work without delay.
The, cost or planting ana caring Tor
fruit trees is not greater than the cost of
planting and caring for flowers and orna-
mental shrubs: in fact, I doubt If it will
be as great.
Some tirnid citizen might perhaps urge
that the boys would rob the trees. j
wish to say right here that a good many
of our boys have much more public spirit
than their fathers. Very few boys modest
our song birds, and I know they can be
! taught not to injure and rob public fruit
! trees. The great majority of boys can be
! taught to do anything that is right, and
to abstain from anything that is wrong
If there was only one apple tree in town
there might be some difficulty about It
but we shall soon have 100000 of them in
! st. Paul.
A few weeks ago Visited a county q
hundred and fifty miles north of st. Paul
While there I met farmer who raises
over fifty different varieties of apples
He sold $3.50 worth last fall. / saw some
| of his apples and ate some, and they were
Ijust as good as any eastern or southern
sapples. s

+ H E JOUR N AL.
Official Paper Of the City.
FRIDAY, APRIL s, 1881.
THE JOURNALS PROGRESS

On the sixth Of April last year The
Evening Journal then located in the
old Bracket block, was burned out and
its presses and type destroyed. Tenn
porary quarters We're secured in Davi-
son & Halls job office, and with a loan
of type from the Spectator the paper
was issued in reduced form for
couple of weeks. In the meantime the
good will, subscription list, ETC., were
purchased by the present proprietors,
new outfit of type was ordered, a con-
tract made with the Tribune company
for press work, the mechanical and edi-
torial departments moved into the city
hall, and the business office located on
Second street, near Nicollet avenue.
About the middle of May, when the
Evening Tribune changed to morning
paper, the afternoon Associated Press
franchise was purchased for r h e
our al at cost Of $1,000 T h e
gu r n a | was enlarged to eight pages
and was fairly launched as the repre-
sentative afternoon paper Of the city.
Since then progress has been most
gratifying. Within month the circu-
lation mounted to three times the fig
ures at the date Of the purchase, and
the increase Of advertising patronage
was commensurate. There can be said
Of The Evening Journal, as can be said
of very few new daily paper enterprises,
that since its purchase it has not cost
its proprietors one dollar for running
expenses, but on the contrary has
shown, fair profit for. every month of
the eleven they have had it fairly under
their management.
This success, and the bright prospects
Of the city, seem to justify the invest
ment of capital to place the paper in a
home Of its own and to give it com
plete outfit Of all machinery and appli-
ances requisite to the easy and success
full handling Of a f1rst-class modern
daily newspaper. The Journal company
has accordingly taken a lease for five
years of the three story and basement
building, No. 10 Washington avenue N,
recently occupied by the Merchants
National bank, and is now engaged in
fitting it up as a complete printing es-
| tablishment.
