II TARDY ENDORSEMENT.

A few years ago the Union said
James J. Hill was worth more to this
state and the northwest than all the
pin-headed demagogues and poll
ticians that could be stacked up in a
forty acre field. The St. Paul Dis
patch was one of the newspapers that
dissented from the U MONS estimate
OF Mr.. Hill and denounced the pub
Usher of this paper as one of the en-
pire-builder's satellites. The other
day there appeared in the St. Paul Dis
patch double-leaded editorial the
opening paragraph of which is here
with reproduced:
There is no living man who has
done as much for the twin cities and
the northwest as Mr.. James J. Hill,
and this generation does not present
the name of another man who still has
it in his power to do more than he.
The fact that he has benefited by what
ne has done is not debatable ques-
ton, for we all have been benefciaries
OF his genius. The St. Paul Dispatch
has not always agreed with Mr.. Hill
or advocated all of his policies, but
we have given and will give him credit
for what he has accomplished or may
yet achieve. We would not pluck one
leaf from the laurel wreath which he
has earned or bedim one single jewel
in the crown which he should wear,
and it is in this spirit we ask the
citizens OF St. Paul to approach Mr..
Hill on the question of new union

Alderman Moore of Duluth is
quoted as saying: "The statements

not represent in the smallest degree
the horribly filthy condition of many

especially during the winter months,
is appalling and almost unbelievable.
Consumers would be frightened if they
knew how really bad conditions
were. !" But why are such conditions
permitted to exist in the face of the
fact that the state maintains corps
of inspectors whose duty it is to prose-
cute persons who conduct filthy
dairies?

the Both ult. he said:
In the financial report of the chair
man of the prohibition party in
Pennsylvania there was careful lack
of detailed items, upon which s92. 600

HOW DWARF TREES ARE GROWN.
Requires Much Time and Patience,
Says a Japanese Horticulturist.

Exactly how these tiny trees are
produced is known only to a score or
so of individuals, but S. Eida, Japa-
nese fellow of the British Royal Horti-
cultural society, was good enough to
supply the writer with some interest
ing facts relating to the methods en-
ployed.
1t would seem that the quality es-
sential to the successful dwarf tree
grower is patience-infinite patience,
backed by a fund of calm resignation
unknown to the western mind. Fifty
years is named as the shortest period
in which a really good and salabe
dwarf tree may be grown, while a life
time is not long enough to produce the
highest example of the art. The tree
artist merely makes the beginning;
his son. or perhaps even his sons son.
reaps the reward of his labors.
Dwarf trees are produced from
seeds, or in case where this is not

cuttings. When the young plant be-
