Hayhow III. Flat, another early set
tier of these parts, died Nov. 9Th at his
home in Stoughton shortly before noon
from an attack of pneumonia.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Egtvedt, who for
merly resided in GAINESVILLE and have
spent the past summer in the south,
have opened Photographic studio in
Orfordville, with headquarters on the
second floor of the Onsgard & Peterson
building. Mr.. Egtvedt did piano tun-
ing for number Of years.
A young Mandtville lad saw little
girl bury a tin can back of the Slough
ton Wagon Co. s shops Thursday night
and, on investigation after she had
gone, he discovered $35 in the can,
which he took home to his parents, who
were genuinely surprised, of course.
The same little girl also secreted SIS in
back alley. She had found purse at
the city library that contained $40.
The empty purse she took to the base
ment of the building. She was SO small
that nothing was done about furnishing
her and the owner of the money was
satisfied with it's return.
Profting by it's experience last win
ter in putting up ski slide during the
cold weather of January, the Ski Club
has this fall, figuratively speaking,
made hay while the sun shone, and has
now completed substantial alterations
on both the steel slide and the under
lying run which, it is calculated, will
wonderfully improve the sliding quail
ties of Stoughton's big ski course. For
about month force of men has been
employed at the grounds, grubbing
trees and excavating and distributing
along the slopes of the hill on each side
of the course, hundreds of loads of
earth. By this excavating the landing
or under-run has been heightened about
Is feet and made about five degrees
sleeper, assuring longer jumps and an
easier landing for the ski slider.
Fourteen bents of shed, containing
Ii acres of tobacco, was wrecked on
the Amund Swenson farm south of
Dunkirk Corners Saturday afternoon,
and the tobacco torn into ribbons by
the wind and the broken boards and
timbers. There were two shade trees
blown upon the dwelling house, par
TALLY crushing it and the roof was torn
off, leaving the interior to be deluged
by the cloudburst, but fortunately none
of the family was injured. The wind
mills were swept from their framework
and the damage done in this one place
alone will amount to many thousands
of dollars. The tobacco, previously a
sound leaf of wrappers and binders,
will be scarcely anything but filters,
and the rain pounded it into solid
masses in part. John Brictson of
Stoughton received word that his shed
had succumbed to the wind and his en-
tire past seasons yield of the weed had
been mixed with the debris and pre-
sents heavy loss. He had a tenant
upon the farm. The barn upon the
place was wrecked also. Nels Reppen's
tobacco shed suffered with the others
and the profits from his summer labor
will in consequence be materially les
sened.

Important To Apple Industry

Spokane, Wash, Oct. s0.-.'The
stability Of the apple industry Of the
Northwest will, in the minds of many,
be measured by the success of the
fourth National Apple show in spo-
kane, the week Of November %,
writes E. H. Shepard, editor Of Better
Fruit at Hood River, Ore, in a letter
to the Spokane chamber Of commerce,
adding:
In the face of financial and busl-
ness conditions, the business men OF
Spokane have shown marvellous de-
gree Of public spirit and enterprise to
finance the fourth yearly competitive
exposition, the management Of which
offers prizes and premiums amounting
to 500, 900 to growers Of fruit in con-
tests, free and open to all.
In the present condition Of the ap-
/ pie producing industry it would have
been a serious disaster to the growers
Of the country to abandon the show
this year. In view Of the commend
able work done by the promoters and
hackers Of the enterprise, which IS not
. moneymaking project, and the meal
eulable benefit to the apple producers
Of the Northwest and all over the con
tinent, it IS the duty Of the grower;
to Loyalty rally TO the support Of ths

President Surprises Auditors

Chicago, Oct. President Taft
surprised large audience at the
dinner Of the Hamilton club today
by what most Of his hearers con-
strued as an admission Of the posi-
5iIlty of republican defeat in the
coming national election.
He was speaking to what had
promised to be an enthusiastic aud
ience Of republicans.
Republicans present hastened to
ascribe the presidents utterances to
WEAKNESS after his long tour of
speech making and especially after
the three days hard campaigning in
Chicago.
It was his last public utterance in
Chicago before leaving for Pitts
burgh tonight.
The president said in part:
We are at. some people think, a
crisis in the republican party with
reference to its continuance in the
guidance Of the nation. | am hope
ful that the good people Of the coun-
try, who know good thing when
they see it, will have only chastened
US bit in an off year in order that
we may be better hereafter, and in
order that we may be more careful
hereafter. but with no intention Of
shifting from the shoulders that are
fitted to bear the burdens Of the
present problems and carry them to
a successful solution, to those who
are untried and who have new thee
ries of action that we don't believe
in and we don't believe the people
believe IN.
However, If it develops that they
desire a change we shall Loyalty sup
port the new government under any
conditions, with the hope that it will
inure to the benefit of the country,
but with the consolation that #, af-
ter one trial, the people think they
ought to go back to the old party
that served them SO well in the pro-
gress Of the nation. why, we can
bear that experience, that is all. :
After his address the president re-
tired to the seclusion Of his hotel for
a rest. Though he pfofessed no
WEAKNESS, the three-day steady
strain had told on him and it was a
tired man who led the presidential
party out of Chicago at $50 p. M,
over the Pennsylvania railroad for
Pittsburgh.
The address before the Hamilton
club in which che possibility Of de-
feat founa expression, followed the
laying CT the cornerstone of the new
home Of the Hamilton club. one OF
the leading republican clubs Of the
middle west.

One Of the strongest petitions ever
presented to the county commission
ers was the one signed by the men
who represent three-fourths of the to-
tai taxes paid into the county treasu-
ry, asking for an appropriation of
$500 to help pay the expenses of ad-
vertising the agricultural resources of
Dawson County at the ST. Paul Land
Products Show, Dec. 1928. It is esti-
mated that the total expense of the
exhibit will reach 81, 500, the addi-
tional $500 to be raised by public sub
scription.
The Land Show is not a private en-
terprise, but is held under the direc-
ton of the Northwestern Development
League, its object being to let the
people Of the United States know
about the great northwest.
Montana will have a splendid state
exhibit and most of the counties in
the state will have individual displays.
Dawson County, which does not spec
ialize, ''but raises any old shing, ;"
will be s'there with the goods, and
when the premiums are awarded will
make some competitors sit up and take
notice.
