A HAIL FROM THE WEST.
{. B. Hale Rounds Up the Redwood
Contingent at Everett, Wash.


DEAR GAZETTE: AS the time has
come for my annual report of the
"Clan Redwood" | submit the fol-
lowing: S. w. Hubbard and wife
are well and are doing well, and the
last time | met Mr.. Hubbard |
thought he looked healthier and
younger than ever. Will Hubbard
has gone to California, where his
father-in-law lives. Mr.. Hubbard's
other son is married and lives near
his father.
| saw VIM. Ham day before yes
terday, and he said they were doing
better now than ever before.
Deck Spaulsbery is also alright
and making good living here.
VIM. Bell lives on a ranch near
Maryville, about six miles from the
city. At last accounts he was get
ting along nicely.
We have a Mr.. Child here who
lived for many years in Renville,
but who is now a member of our
clan" by marriage. He married
Ella Hubbard, and they are also do
ing nicely.
! And last [ report E. B. H. and his
best girl getting along nicely and
quietly, moving down the western
slope of life to the great beyond.
Mark, my oldest son, lives near US
as does my daughter, Mrs. Saba
McEwen. My other two boys are
here at home, Faith lives in Seattle
and dot" my youngest girl, lives
in Walla Walla. All are doing we'll.
| wish | could pick Redwood Falls
up and set it down here for just one
day to show the weather to the
poor frost-bitten city. Grass is
green, roses in bloom, and although
it rains a great deal, still rain ism t
as bad as snow banks and billiards.
| wish The GAZETTE and its many
readers merry Christmas and Hap.
py New Year. Fraternally yours,

That was a daring holdup on the
morning Milwaukee train at the
crossing above Granite Falls Friday
morning, says the Journal. AS the
train slowed up for the crossing two
ruffians. who got on the train at
Montevideo, knocked an old gentle
man down, took his money and
watch and then jumped from the
train. 1t was all done so quickly no
one had time to Interfere.

Milroy Echo: The editor is in re-
ceipt of a communication from j.
A. Looney, our former postmaster.
who is now located at Fargo, N. D.
He will start the first of the year to
travel for the Hall-Robertson hard
ware company of that city.
Granite Falls Journal: O. H. Sor-
lien left Granite Falls Monday for
Minneapolis, and from there started
on trip for Old Mexico and that
part of the globe. He was accom-
panied by his brother Hans, Ole
Knudtson and another party. They
propose to see the country and keep
one eye open for good land deals.
Tracy came near losing her mayor
one night last week. N. j. Robin son,
nephew of our own j. B. Robinson,
and his lady friend were out skating
on Lake Sigel one evening last week
and while going at a good gait the
ice gave way and they were precipi-
tated into about ten feet of nice cool
water. The local paper says that
upon coming to the surface Nat let
whoop out of him that would have
done justice to bengal tiger, and
the other skaters rushed to the
foundering couples aid. After some
hard work they were rescued and
lffered no evil results from their
experience.
Minnesota Mascot: The editor of
"School Education" says he is 'loath
to believe that contracts made by
teachers are so lightly broken" He
would not be so loath were he a men,
Der of some school boards that we
could name. Every board of educa-
ton in the state has more or less
trouble with teachers who accept
positions and then after a month or
two. and sometimes just before their
term of service is to begin, resign.
We believe that School Education"
with its great influence among the
profession, could do much good by
taking this subject up and discussing
it thoroughly and bringing to the at
tention of teachers the Importance
of standing by their contracts.
Active preparations are being
made to entertain the National Edi-
torial Association, which meets in
Saint Paul early next summer. The
city will contribute a goodly sum for
the pleasure and entertainment of
the visiting quill-drivers, and the city
will turn out en- masse to welcome
them and make their visit to the
Northwest memorable. Committees
have already been appointed and all
the machinery for the reception and
entertainment of delegates and the
handling of the work of the conven-
ton is already in motion. The visit
of so many editors to Saint Paul and
the Northwest will, it is believed

What Did the Colonel Sav2

A detachment of soldiers was en-
gagged in clearing a certain district
in the Orange River Colony of sup.
plies, and during the operations
Colonel Shovealong's staff-oficer
came up to a Boer farmer sitting at
the door of his cottage, with a large
stack of oat-straw in the background.
81 have orders either to buy or
destroy all forage and food in this
district" said the officer. 81, there
fore, give you notice that 1 am about
to set fire to that pile of oat straw"
bod 1 tell you began the
stolid Boer, as he removed his pipe
from his mouth.
ooh, you may as we'll know
straight off," interrupted the officer,
that resistance and objection are
alike futile"
BOD would you blease"- once
more began the farmer.
81 can listen to no excuses; I have
neither time nor inclination" was
the impatient rejoinder of the officer,
as he hurried away.
well, my DEAR" said the Boer to
his wife, as the stack of straw burst
into fame and the officer went on
on his way rejoicing, dose Khakis
are strange people. / wanted to dell
him dat dis vas de oat straw I half
sold to de colonel half an hour ago"
Thus saying, he m~editatively
jingled the British sovereigns in his
pocket.-Tit-Bits.
