The Young Turks are surprising
the other nations of the earth by
their moderation since the overthrow
of Abdul Hand and the placing of
his exiled brother on the throne.
The commander-in- chief of the con-
stitutional army says that the great
city is no place for troops, that the
army has accomplished its duty and
that it is now the exclusive business
of the parliament to decide who shall
constitute the ministry and what
measures of government shall be
taken. 1t is further given out that
the frightful massacres of the Ar
menians is to be stopped and order
restored in the turbulent provinces
by government troops who have
been sent to the seat of trouble.
The new governing element in Tur-
key may yet surprise the world as
much as did the younger and en-
lightened element in Japan which
superseded the old order of things
at the time of the japanese revolu-
ton. The unspeakable Turk may
yet become known as fairly intel
ligent citizen. Give him time.

The statement that six million
dollars worth of property was de-
stroyed in this country during the
first fifteen days of April is signifi-
cant to every man who pays fire in
surance premiums. 1t is stated with
authority that about the same
amount is paid out by Minnesota
property owners annually for fire
insurance premiums, most of it 60
ing to companies in the east. Some
day, we believe, Minnesota property
owners will get wise to this big
drain on the wealth of the state and
try to stop it in two ways-by insist
ing on more careful construction of
buildings with the view of making
them more nearly fre-proof, and by
a system of fire insurance that ap-
proximates the mutual plan followed
by the farmers companies in this
and other counties. An immense
amount of money could also be
made by Minnesota citizens getting
the benefit of the low death rate in
this state in fixing risks for life in
surance. as we'll as by adopting the

HARVESTING ORANGES
Especial CoyreSpondenl)

Oranges require a great deal more care
In their preparation for market than is
generally supposed. An army of 10000
people is annually employed In harvest
ing the crops of 'SunhlsJ oranges. The
details of this harvest are mucn more
varied in the orange industry tnan is the
case with apples, though both are or
chard products and the manner of their
handling has many points III common, in
the pupilc mind at least. In the case of
''Sunklst' oranges, however, after being
carefully picked they are sorted for size
and quality. Next comes the whiting
process, a twenty-four hour sweat box
method OF absorbing all moisture from
the skins Then the fruit underpoes a
double brushing process to make it daint-
fly clean. After a sun bath of several
hours the oranges are next run between
revolving cylinder brushes for a final
polish, and then comes the last sorting,
grading, wrapping and packing. AS they
move along from one course of treatment
to another all the oranges are placed on
soft pads to prevent them from being
bruised or scratched, and the packers are
required to wear gloves for the same
reason. Upon the whole, "Sunkist'
orange has no cause for envying the child
that is born with a "silver spoon in it's
mouth"

Tardy justice was rendered at
Washington last week for the mem
ory of the man who laid out the site
and planned the streets and avenues
of our national capital which is
generally regarded as pre-eminently
the city beautiful Of America. Maj.
Chas. L'Enfant, the French patriot
who came to this country with La
Fayette and received honorable
wounds fighting the battles of his
adopted country, was commissioned
in 1871 to lay out the site for the ma
tional capital, and also laid the
foundations for the capitol and the
white house buildings. The dis
tinguished Frenchman did not take
kindly to the way he was treated by
the officials of the government and
was finally dismissed for refusing to
be dictated to by the capitol commits
sioners, one of whom was Thomas
Jefferson. The statement is made
that the government paid him less
than $4,000 in all for his extended
services, or mere fraction of what
has since been paid to artists with a
pull" for covering some of the
huge canvasses which disfgure the
walls of the government buildings at
Washington. Last week his remains
were taken from an obscure grave
and removed to the national ceme-
terry at Washington, the representa-
tive Of France at Washington, Vice
President Sherman and many dis
tinguished Americans taking part in
the ceremonies attending the re-
moval.

A Unique Publication.

A national magazine for motorists
which will not accept a single line of
advertising and which is mailed free
to one hundred thousand people
each month, is the unique publica-
ton known as the Rambler maya
zine published by Thomas B. Jeffrey
& Co., makers of the Rambler car,
in the interest of fourteen thousand
Rambler owners.
The latest issue of this magazine,
now being mailed, is practically of
standard magazine size without the
advertising which the larger maya
zines carry and in it appear articles
descriptive Of touring, with pict ures
especially posed by some Of the best
photographers in the country.
The Rambler people offer big
prizes to amateur photographers for
photographs and these are repro
duced in this magazine.
The publication started few
years ago, circulating among Ram
bier owners alone. Then owners
began asking to haye it sent to their
friends and these have increased to
such large number that the circu-
lation is now about 100, 900.
Mr.. Jeffrey, the maker Of the
Rambler. believes that the furnish
of accurate information to owners
and prospective buyers will be of
great benefit to the industry in gen.

TWENTY-NINE YEARS AGO.

Just Twenty-Five years ago The
Gazette man became a citizen of
Redwood Falls. Not so very long,
but as we recall that time, only four
buildings now used for business pur-
poses in Redwood Falls were in ex-
istence-the brick building adjoin-
ing the opera house and now owned
by c. Fred Thompson, the old land
mark of j. B. Robinson and now in
use for Gagnon's shoe shop and the
Wilcox and Oscar Bailey corners.
The only brick buildings in the city
at that time was the Thompson
building referred to and Martins
blacksmith shop. Not one of the
churches or public buildings of that
time are standing. AS to the men
IN business IN 1880 and still at it,
Mayor Philbrick, H. M. Hitchcock,
D. j. Laird, Tenney Brothers and
The Gazette man complete the lis
as we remember it. Postmaster
King was a merchant then, J. B.
Robinson county official, Herman
Schmahl the "devil' in The Gaze tie
office, H. N. Bell furniture dealer,
G. Fred Thompson timer in one
of the hardware stores, Fred. Hotch-
kiss a blacksmith, M. E. Powell an
attorney, Geo. Drake harness deal
err, G. E. Mickey and I'M, Dunning-
ton grocers. This completes the list
of the business men of that day
who remain in this city, so far as
we can recall them. Twenty-Five

With 100000 appropriated by the
recent legislature for widening,
deepening and otherwise improving
the Minnesota river. in addition to
S25, 1000 for the dam at Big Stone,
State Engineer Ralph will be in a
position to do a great deal of work
towards the relief of the overfowed
districts along that stream. His
plans will probably depend largely
upon the recommendations made by
those conducting the survey the
past winter. In addition to the
state appropriation, Senator Clapp
has informed the members of the
Improvement League that a govern

Editor Frank M. Melville of the

resident years ago, has the following
explanation of two weeks absence
from duty in a recent number of his
paper: Back on the job again af-

is. The rumor aired by our fore
man last week was true. We've
went and gone and done it and our
friends are smoking wedding cigars.
Perhaps this will excuse the hurried
look of the Gazette this week."

When a st. Paul newspaper last
week stated that one Jacob Ro h.,
an eccentric citizen, had died leav-
ing $4,000 in bonds and cash and no
family, relatives flocked from yari-
Gus parts of the state to share in the
division of the property. The sor-
rowing relatives were not greatly
comforted when investigation re-
duced the estate from $4,000 to
less than $4,000. The enterprising
newspaper reporter was mainly to
blame for their disappointment.

Assassinations in the Italian sly

Assassinations in the Italian style
are getting quite too common in
Minnesota, and if it were possible to
put prohibitive tariff on the black
handed fraternity there would be no
protests. For the sake of fair play,
however, the Italians nationally
should not be charged with the re-
sponsibility for the outrages perpe-
trated by their criminals any more
than the American nation should be
sized up as represented by its worst
law-breakers.

Somehow the ounce produces

Why Not Raise More Potatoes?

NO doubt largely increased acre
age Of potatoes will be planted in
Redwood county this year, and we
can see no reason why farmers should
not get together and make spec
ialty Of some one reliable market
variety so as to compete with the
successful potato growers in other
parts Of this state, which is getting
reputation for raising particular
ly good quality of the tuber.
The Rock County Herald has a
highly suggestive article on this crop
from which we copy the following
extracts:
According to all reports the acre
age of potatoes to be planted in
Rock county this spring will be dou-
BILE that Of last year. The reason,
of course, is the proftableness of the
potato crop, which has come to be
recognized as one of the most re-
munerative the farmer can raise.
"While there have been thousands
of acres of potatoes raised in Rock
county every year for several years,
the farmers Of the county, with very
few exceptions, have given the mat
ter little, if any, attention, but have
raised their crops in an Indifferent,
haphazard and careless manner. This
perhaps was excusable and not of
great Importance when only a small
quantity Of potatoes were grown,
but now that nearly every farmer is
engaged in raising potatoes for mar
ket, and many Of them on a very
large scale, it is highly essential that
they give the subject the attention
and study its importance demands.
Most people will admit, because
it is true of nearly every potato rails
err, that no attention whatever is
given to the character of the seed
planted. Generally the potatoes Sc
lected for seed are the small ones
unfit for market or table use, while
no thought is given in regard to the
variety, whether it be mixed or of
some pure type of potato.
"A man who would select his seed
corn or other seed in this manner
would be considered fit subject for
the state asylum for feeble minded.
Between one hundred and seven
ty-five and two hundred cars of po-
tatoes were shipped out of Rock
county last year, aggregating be-
tween 10000 and 100000 bushels
The price ranged from 40 cents to so
cents per bushel, making a safe av-
erage of 45 cents per bushel The
farmer who raised one hundred
bushels per acre and received $45 per
acre could just as well, by the selec-
ton of proper seed and a little more
attention to the soil and cultivation,
have received from two to three
times as much. Since the first of
the year the price of potatoes has
been from 70 cents to 80 cents per
bushel. The price offered yesterday
was 70 cents, with indications of
going up"
