6ood.Bye. Gid Year.

We are about to step from the Old
Year to the New, and we are re.
minded that after all our fears and
apprenhensions, to many of us, it
has been very kind year. To some,
we know that the dark side has been
turned, but after all, there is CLEAN
OF sunshine for all if we but look
it. We would not forget that to
look upon the homes of some of
our readers since last New Years
day, a shadow has fallen and a
mantle Of sorrow has wrapped its
inmates in its sombre folds.
Other homes are like the empty
nest that hangs op the withered
bough, desolate because the life
and song went out with the birds.
New homes have been made aud
old ones have been severed. but in
our onward march il is not we'll to
stop and weigh the load each one
carries. No life is all sunshine OF
all storm. IfNew Year brings pros.
perity, let us rejoice; if adversely
let'us be brave. The sunset gate OF
life will swing shut; upon some OF
us ere the close Of another year.
Let us see to the record left on this
side. If our dear ones aud friends
leave 10 for the SUMMER land, let
not the memory Of harsh words
spoken by us, add to the pangs oi
separation.

the latter IL. The contracts were
let in connection with the general
extensive additions to equipment
for the transportation of iron ore for
next season, when it is expected
that there will be large increase
in the volume of shipments.
Eight of the engines for the Mis-
sabe are of the articulated CON-
pound type and designed tor use
between the company's docks in
Duluth and Proctor. This stretch
of track embraces the Duluth hill,
and the engines that have been
ordered are adapted more especially
for negotiating it. They are heavy
and similar to those in use on the
Southern Pacific. There are three
ore dock switch engines similar to
those which the company now has.
There will be one ssengerengine,
and six heavy switch engines for
use at the mine terminals and
classification yards of the Missabe
at Proctor.
The nissabe has also purchased a
Lidgerwood ballast unloader for
use in construction and mainten-
ance work. The three ore dock
switch engines and the passenger
engine will be built by the Bald.

has gone to the American Locomo-
tive company.

The Tree.

Coreless as wen as seedless are the
apples produced on single tree OF
unknown variety in an eight-acre or,
chard at Morain Prairie, five miles
north OF Spokane, owned by B. X
short, rancher, The largest OF the
fruit is three inches in diameter, the
coloring being of yellowish green,
streaked with red. The apples have
deep pink cheeks, and the flesh is
firm and of excellent flavor. The
tree is between 10 and 15 years old
and is growing in sub-irrigated soil
at an altitude of 2225 feet. Short
does not claim credit for developing
the coreless-seedless apple, declar-
ing tits freak of nature.
Seven of the new apples were
brought to ,the offices of the Ma
tlonal Apple show in Spokane and
quartered in the presence of Rem II.
Rice, secretary-mauager; Professor
August Won Hoiderbeke, formerly
state commissioner of horticulture of
Washington, and several growers
from various parts of the northwest,
but none was able to classify the
fruit, Professor w. S. Thornber,
horticulturist at the state college of

make thorough examination of the
tree to determine its origin.

graft the scions on other trees the
coming spring. Expert pomologists
say If the process is successful he
