Obituary.
three or fou:

Jennie Forrest (Adams) Frazier
died at her home in Kinnickinnic
on Monday, March 9th, al the age
of fifty years.
Mrs. Frazier had been in poor
health for some time past and a
severe attack of the grippe was
more than the already weakened
strength could bear. Jennie Adams
was born March 18th, 1858, in River
Falls, and was married Nov. FL,
1875, to David A. Frazier. Beside
her husband there survive her three
sons-Harry, of this city, Ross OF
Hudson and Grover of Kinnickinnic;
and two daughters-Pearl and Olive.
Mrs. Frazier was a loving wife
and tender mother and was held IN
high respect in the community. Her
many friends will mourn the loss OF
her earnest helpful example. The
funeral services were held Wednes-
day afternoon at o'clock from the
Methodist church, in this city, con-
Quoted by Rev. F. w. Harris. A
large number of relatives and
friends were IN attendance.

] G. West returned last satnrdar

from = three uui t'l..' vIsit l.. IL. :
tives and old-time friends in Mis-
souri, and Illinois. His visitations
covered two counties, including ST.
Louis, IN Missouri, and six counties
in Illinois, including Chicago. He
saw many of his friends of over forty
years ago and had most enjoyable
trip all around. At Danville, ILL.,,
he visited the National Soldiers
Home, where he was cordially
greeted by Messrs. S. E. WHITEHEAD
and S. A. Freeman of this place,
who are quartered there. The Home
there, he says is model of its kind.
Miss Helen Parkhurst has been
engaged to teach theory and art in
the high school in addition to her
other duties, the board granting her
an increase of salary. This will be
welcome news to pupils and others
interested who are familiar with
Miss Parkhurst's ability.-Hudson
Star Times.
Quite little interest has been
aroused among our people by the Wis
it of the two gentlemen, Messrs. D.
w. Parsons and A. M. Bayer, repre-
sentatiYes of the Owen Manufacture
ing Company of Minneapolis, who
came here to investigate as to the
possibilities of River Falls in fur
nishing power and other facilities
for manufacturing their products
which are largely tanning mills and
other small farm machinery. They
expressed themselves as we'll pleased
with the city aud its general ap-
pearance, but did not commit them
selves at all on the main question.
That some encouragement must be
given them to induce their moving
here is very apparent, but in what
this shall consist is yet uncertain.
Their visit however emphasizes the
thought, that River Falls should as
soon as possible obtain control of
water powers adjacent to the city, as
it is quite evident that the time is
coming when they will be called for,
and it may be too late to get them
when they may be needed by the
city.

BASE BALL.

A meeting of the River Falls Base
Ball team was held in the Fire Hall
Monday evening for the purpose of
electing permanent officers for the
season of 1908. The election re-
suited as follows:
President-Robert Reynolds.
Vice President-Frank Baker.
Sec. and Treas.-Frank Schuster.
Manager-Wm. E. Winter.
Walter Johnson will take an active
part in assisting Mr.. Winter in
making the base ball venture a
success.
The chairman of the meeting
appointed Dan Linehan, Chas.
Hodge and VIM. Green as COM
mittee to look up the most suitable
grounds available and 10 report at
the next meeting.
The boys are working hard to
assure a good season of excellent
ball playing, and the people of
River Falls should extend 10 them
all the encouragement and financial
aid and interest possible.
A schedule of games will be an
nounced later when the active play
ing begins.

Better Service Needed.

The River Falls station during
the month of February, 1908, hand
led in and out of this place 1873 solid
cars of freight which is an increase
of As cars over the business for the
same month last year. The total
number of pounds of freight hand
led in and out for February, 1908,
was 4 1897 ,070 pounds, while in Feb
ruary Of 1907 it amounted to 1885,
22O pounds, nearly million pounds
more. This has been done with a
decrease in the force at the station
of one man and a messenger boy.
While we have received the very best
service that could be given by hes h
and blood, it seems as though River
Falls with the amount of business
which is being done here, and which
is increasing steadily from year to
year, should not be cut down to two
men who are exp ected to fill the
places and do the work Of at least
three or four.

FIRE DRyLLS.

Is it possible for River Falls to
suffer a Collinwood horror? Are the
children attending our public school
in danger of such fate as met the
children of Collinwood? Doubtless
such questions have occurred to
many parents in River Falls during
the last few days. In order to help
answer them, a representative of the
Journal accompanied City Fire-chief,
Geo. TIL. Smith, to the school build
ing yesterday morning and witnessed
fire drill. Some years ago the
school had regular fire drills, but of
late years they have been neglected,
the only orders given the schools
being that they should at all times
dismiss at once on the ringing of
the hall bells, and in the regular
way. This takes about four minutes
to empty the building. The build
ing is not one especially liable to a
great calamity. There are three
entrances, one for the primaries and
two for the balance of the school.
Neither Of these are in the center of
the building, and it is not at all likely
that any fire would shut them both
off at the same time. Also, there is
one good fire-escape on the north of
the building, running from the third
floor. AS further protection against
fire, a two-inch stand pipe runs
from the basement to the third
floor, and a reel holding SO ft. of
l Il inch hose is>on each floor, ready
attached to the pipe. Under these
circumstances and with all doors
properly hung and working easily,
there seems to be little danger of
trouble. However, the catastrophe
at Collinwood suggested that it
might be we'll to re-introduce the
specific fire drill. In arranging the
drill, Prin. Ames has also prepared
a fire brigade of high school boys to
have charge of the fire fighting APP
paratus in the building, and to see
that all doors are properly opened
and attended during any fire OF. fire
drill. 1t was to witness the working
of this fire-brigade and the march
ing out of the school that the Jour
nal representative visited the school
yesterday. 1t was a little after IL
o'clock that Prin. Ames touched the
button that turned in the alarm.
There was an instant S pause, then
a mad rush as sixteen fire boys
dashed through the halls to their
posts. Then the schools followed,
marching III regular line. In FOL
seconds the head of the line reached
the outside doors to find them open
and hooked back. In 80 seconds a
stream of water was playing on the
imaginary fire in the basement. In
less than go seconds all primary
and grade pupils were out of the
building, and in one minute and
forty-two seconds the last high
school boy, except the fire brigade,
was on the side walk in the yard.
Prin. Ames tells US that they can
have two streams playing on any
fire that might start in the building
within so seconds after an alarm is
turned in. 1t would seem as though
there is very little danger of our
school being caught as was the
Collinwood school.

Obituary.

Died on the fifth of March, 1908,
at La Crosse, Wis, Mrs. Florence
Taylor Reid, wife of Judge Ray
Reid of La Crosse, Wisconsin, and
eldest daughter of Hon. Horace A.
Taylor of Washington, d. c.
Mrs. Reid was born at Hudson,
Wisconsin, about the year 1862, and
was about forty-siX years of age at
the time of her death. Her mother
was Mr." Lizzie Madden Taylor,
who witt. Mr.. Taylor formerly re-
sided at River Falls, being among
the earliest settlers of the village.
Mr.. Taylor removed to Hudson
early in the sixties and at the time
of the birth of Florence was publish
ing the Hudson Times, which was
later consolidated with the Star
under the names of The Hudson
Star-Times which was edited by Mr..
Taylor for many years.
The early years of the life of
Florence were passed in rather
humble circumstances in which she
learned the great lesson of life, one
eyer to be remembered, that of help
fulness, one meyer forgotten by her,
even after wealth had lessened the
practical value of many of her ex-
periences.
AT the age of about 26 years she
married Ray Reid, Esq, he being at
that time a young lawyer beginning
his work at Hudson and who was
soon after elected County Judge,
holding the Office acceptably for
several years. About fifteen years
ago they removed to La Crosse
where they haYe made their home
until the present.
Mrs. Reid was one who won many
friends by her uniform courtesy,
and ever ready willingness to help
as opportunity presented itself.
Domestic in her disposition, devoted
TO her family and faithful in the
training of Lucian, their only child,
she rarely appeared prominently in
public, preferring to cultivate her
mind and heart, within the quiet of
her home circle.
Her health had been rather poor
for several years, but no alarm was
felt by her friends as the brief
attacks which came seemed TO yield
readily to treatment, and when she
was taken sick recently, her hus
band being absent on official bust
ness at Washington, her physician
advised her going to the hospital
where she might be better cared for
than at her own home during his
absence. All news had been favor
able and it was supposed that she
was in fair way to recovery until
Tuesday Of last week when late in
the evening she began sinking rapid
ly, dying in the early morning Of
Wednesday.
Her husband had been summoned
and was on his way home when she
died Her father, Mr.. Taylor, is in
the East, supposedly in Europe, but
could not be reached by cable as he
has been travelling in the East for
more than year past.
Mrs. Reid leaves surviving her a
husband and one son, Lucian, lad
of about eighteen years of age. She
had also one sister, Mrs. Grace
Taylor Morse, now residing at Min
neapolis, MINI. Mrs. Allen P. Weld
and Mrs. F. D. Ensign of this city
are cousins, and attended the fun
eral service at Hudson. Her re-
mains were brought to Hudson for
interment where, on Friday evening,
March 9Th, surrounded by loving
friends she was laid to rest beside
her mother.

The Normal concert given last
Friday evening at the Methodist
church was a success in every way,
and the Athletic Association is
about $50 richer as a result. There
was a very large audience, all of
whom were loud in their praise of
the quality of the entertainment
given. The Normal Orchestra was
at it's best and played some excel
lent selections, and the Euterpe
Club and the Normal Male Chorus
sang several difficult pieces which
were we'll encored. The Faculty Male
Quartet, composed of Professors
Wright, Welles, Packard and Jack
presented the "specialties" of the
evening S entertainment. Mrs. Trues-
dell read several selections in her
usual brilliant and effective way and
was called back again and again.
The other features of the program
were solos by Professor Wright and
Miss Jones, and Ladies Quartet in
which Misses Freeman, Shultes,
Norseng and RICHTER sang. This
was one of the best entertainments
ever given in River Falls by the Nor
NAL school and we may well be
proud of the talent We have among
us, and the excellent showing the
school makes.

IMMENSE AMOUNT
FOR RECLAMATION
Uncle Sam Has Given Thirty
Millions to Reclaim
Lands.
AN IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
MANY INTERESTING ANNOUNCE
MENTS WILL BE MADE AT THIS
MEETING WHICH WILL BE A
VERY INTERESTING ONE.

Chicago, Ill, Sept. 19.-The report
nation service for the past year at
the coming session of the National Ir,
rigation Congress will be the most in
~teresting in the history of the service,
say engineers at the headquarters OF
flee in Chicago, established by Uncle
Sam. Figures have been compiled
showing the extent of the work to date
and the possibilities for future pro-
gress along this line.
According TO c. J. Blanchard, sta
tistician of the government reclama-
ton service, the appropriations of the
government now amount to $50, 000, 900
and as much more will be appropriat.
ed when the present projects are com
pleted. Already 3,19S,000 acres have
been brought under water through
public and private efforts, and 3,270.000
acres additional are now contemplat
ed. This will add 5000, 900, 900, it is
estimated, to the taxable wealth OF
the United States, and will provide
homes for 10000 families.
Together with progress in the act
ual work of reclamation the financing
of projects has become easier, owing
to growing recognition Of the peculiar
security of irrigation bonds that are
issued under the Carey act. Unlike
most other bonds, the security fol
these investments increases all
through the term, both by the increase
in value of the property after the wa
ter is on it and by the annual pay
ments made under the Carey act by
the people who buy the land. At pres
ent the rate Of interest on such bonds
is high, but under the increasing in
vestment demand it will probably be
materially reduced in the next few
years.
Another Interesting point in irriga
ton work is the gradual employment,
Of reclamation methods outside the
arid regions, wherever a regular sup
ply of moisture is desired. Accord
ing to engineers of the service, the
time is not far distant when artifi
cial water supply will be received ir
the heart Of the grain belt, in sec
tons where the farmers at present sui

BE Almost Limit.
Although the goldfish occurs in a
wild state in Japan, it is probable that
China some 400 years ago furnished
the stock from which the wonderful
varieties of Japanese goldfish have
been bred. 1t is reported that in feudal
days, even when famine was abroad in
the land and many people were starv-
ing, the trade in goldfish was flourish
ing.
The demand at present appears to be
without limit, and the output shows a
substantial increase each year. Many
thousand people make a living by grow
ing goldfish for market, Inc hundreds

FARMING.
The Way Long Tongued Bees Saved
Australian "

Australian clover.
A clerk in the department Of agricuI-
ture said:
$50 you think that scientific farming
Is a bluff? You demand some illustra-
tons of the good that is accomplished
by the scientific method? Very well.
when clover was first introduced
into Australia it grew there beautiful
ly, but 1t seeded. The soil was
all right. The climate was all right.
What, then, was the trouble?
"A scientist studied the matter, and
this is what he found:
HE found that the native Australian
bees had tongues too short to reach
the clover's pollen forming organs.
These organs in red clover are hidden
deeply in the heart of the tubelike
petals and they can only be fortified
by the long tongucd bumblebee. If
red clover Is not visited by humble
bees, who bear the golden pollen
grains from one blossom to another, it
never seeds-it cannot be grown. The
scientist, aware of the fact, soon put
his finger on the barren Australian clo-
ver's trouble. He imported a lot Of
long tongued bumblebees. These bees
f1ourished. and Immediately Australian
clover, which had promised to be a
failure, became one of the country's
richest and finest crops."- Chicago

Augustus III. Garland who was at

land, was very fond Of practical jokes
and during his term of service In the
senate frequently turned the laugh on
his colleagues. Senators Voorhees, and
Vest, with whom he was very friendly.
finally determined to turn the tables.
Mr.. Garland had a habit, like Voor-
bees, of m%unching candy, and Vest and
Voorhees, made it up between them to
take advantage of his fondness for
sweets to play their trick. They had
some tempting looking chocolate cara
mels prepared. with the interior filed

Voorhees, looked up carelessly from
his writing and responded: "Caramels.
Help yourself"
Garland needed no second invitation
and, picking up two OF three, placed
me In his mouth. Steadily he chewed
away, his face betraying no sign of the
conflict within him. This alarmed
Voorhees,, who went to Vests desk and
said:
He's eating them. Vest! What shall
we do? The stuff will kill him sure!"
Senator Vest replied that it could do
no more than make him sick. Garland
swallowed the stuff, although he was
foaming at the mouth from the soap
suds. He related the incident after
ward with great gusto and said he
would have swallowed it If it had
killed him.
