}. J. Waddell surprised his friends
Saturday evening by coming in on the
train from Yuma, Arizona, to remain
a few days. He is looking fine and
feeling good. He met l.. p. Hunt in
Los Angeles and states that he is well
and likes the climate out there very
much. He expects to be in Mankato
in June.
Mr.. Waddell is meeting with great
success in his land business. Sales this
season have been much larger than
ever before. He brought with him a
few of the naval oranges raised in
his territory that are certainly very
fine specimens. They are much ear
lier oranges than those raised in Cali
forna, which gives them the advan-
tage over the California orange that
they can be marketed much earlier.
Mr.. Waddel left liberal supply of
the oranges and grape fruit at the
Free Press office, and any one inter
ested in Arizona are invited to call
and see this fruit; and any nforma
ton they would like about Arizona

weather is much warmer here than it
was in Arizona when he left, he said.
