THE OREGON
COUNTRY.
M. D. Kaser Tells What He
Saw During His Trip Thru
Coast Fruit Country

M. D. Kaser of North Star
township who about four weeks
ago left for points in Oregon to
look over the country and if it
suited him move out there next
fall returned Saturday morning,
and is now more satisfied than
ever with this great Bowbells
country. He called at The Tri-
bune Office Monday morning and
gave us a description of what he
had seen on his trip. He also
brought back with him a case
of cherries which were raised
by w. w. Bridgewatel near Mil
ton, Oregon, and brought a
bunch of the cherries to Bow
bells, to show us what the fruit
out there looked like.
These Cherries" Mr.. Kaser
said, ''are the best I have ever
seen in my life. Mr.. Bridge
water, who gave them to me, has
an acre of them, on which are
l4O trees. While I was there he
picked the fruit of from three
trees and got 27 crates, "a
pounds to the crate. He told
me that he got $500 per crate
for the cherries, so his acre most
certainly brought him a bunch
of money this year.
Though a good crop of fruit
all around is not very often
raised in that country, this year
the cherries andstrawberries are
the best they have been for many.
years past. When ! saw a grove
of cherries it looked like a pile of
fruit on the ground. I couldn't
see any leaves for the red ber-.
ries. The ground is perfectly
red in all strawberry patches,
the berries are covering the
ground completely. The straw
berries are unusually large this
year, some of them being as big
as hens eggs.
The land there sells for all
the way from $500 to $4,000 per
acre, according to improvements.
An acre without any trees plant
ed on it, whatever, sells for from
$500 to $500 while a bearing
grove will bring sometimes over
$4,000. The man I got the cher
ries from held his six and quar-
ter acres for $1,000, and told me
he was selling it cheap as he
wanted to get out Of the country.
After finding out the prices Of
the land / decided that | would
rather have my 32O acres in
Burke county than ten acres in
Oregon.
There will be no peach crop
in Oregon this year and the
prunes will bring about half a
crop. The apples will be about
| an average, while the cherries
and strawberries are the best
theYhave been for years,
'One thing chat I did not like
about fruit raising was the fact
that there are so many insects
eating the trees, and the fruit
raiser has to keep up a continual
battle with them from the time
the trees leave out until the fruit
!. is picked. The insects are de-
stroyed by means of sprayers,
same as potato bugs are here.
While ! was leaving Oregon
the farmers commenced cutting
wheat. The wheat is raised
mostly on the foot hills that are
not much good for. anything else.
WAS told that the farmers were
expecting 60 bushel Of wheat to
I the acre this year, but / hardly
believed it. The crop was main-
~ club. wheat, Or winter wheat,
as it is more generally known

prompt legislation along this line
was needed, and the bill now up to
the senate is strictly in keeping with
the spirit of progressive protection.
1t is not likely that the new sys-
TEN will be all that can be desired.
1t may be found that the kind of a
man wanted as forester-one who
not only can protect the trees now
standing but who is skilled at re-
forestation-ca not be secured for
$4,000 and that a larger salary will
have to be paid Other innovations
provided by the bill will have to be
tried out and perhaps altered but
the first big step has been taken. a
start has been made, and it is not
too much to hope, and expect, that
forest fire horror will never again
shock the citizens of this state.

building safe in its present massive
grandeur.
1t has been said that few buildings
on earth equal the North Star state
house in artistic beauty and that
possibly none excel and this too,
despite the comparatively cheap erec-
tion, made possible by strict honesty
on the part of the men intrusted to
it's construction. 1t is safe to say
that no state in the Union has ever
had capitol put with such scrupu-
lous attention to the quality Of the
material used and the efficiency of
the builders as has been the case in
this state-a direct contrast to- the
manner in which the Pennsylvania
and New York capitols were erected.

Stood By His Guns.

Senator J. D. Sullivan was one of
the men who stood by his guns and
his prediction promises when he
voted for reapportionment the other
day. More than that he raised his
voice in demand for justice for
northern Minnesota and, according
to the Twin City papers, made one of
the most effective speeches during
the debate. He was one of the five
Democrats who voted right on the
proposition. Senator Sullivan is
proving to be a real heavyweight in
the councils of the state. One of the
most commendable about him is his
desire to be right even though in so
doing he is upholding the hands of
a Republican administration and not
playing politics with some of his
fellow Democrats-Sauk Rapids SEN

Several unsigned letters, of late,
have been received at this Office, in
regard to an article which appeared
in the St. Paul Dispatch few days
ago, concerning the so called Indian
"lid" case. The Pioneer would be
pleased to use all communications,
but will not do 50 if they are written
by persons who are either afraid or
ashamed to use their name.

FIRE AND GRAFT.

1t cost the taxpayers of New York
$32,OOO,OOO to erect and equip a
state capitol far inferior in archi
tectural beauty, less massive and far
less enduring than the $3,500,000
palace which adorns Capitol Hill in
St. Paul and to which citizens of
this state point with just pride.
A tiny tongue of flame was all that
was necessary to start "a fire that
swept through the tinseled, graft
ridden monument of New York boss
ism, eating it's way through flimsy
walls and coax" fnishings of papier
mache, reveling in fantastic re-
buke to those, responsible for the
flimsy building. ..- ..<... .-.
The New York capitol had been
heralded as fire proof, but within
three hours flames billowed through
the structure doing more than $5,-
100000 worth of damage. a.
Such a thing could not happen in
the Minnesota building for the
simple reason that, while it is not
claimed to be entirely fire proof, it's
walls are granite, it's floors marble,
and no tawdy ornaments or false
materials are to be found anywhere
in it's construction.
Except that damage by explosion

The FORESTRY BILL.

The fact that. not a dissenting
vote was cast in opposition to the
bill revising the Minnesota system of
forest protection when it came up
for a vote in the House of Represen-
tatives goes to show that the state
is at last alert to the necessity of
protecting one floods most gener-
GUS gifts-our expansive woodland
tracts.
It is true that the action of the
representatives in cutting down the
salaries to be paid officers of the
new commission may lay them open
to a charge of parsimony, but the
fact remains that, with these excep-
tions, the bill quickly passed the low
branch of the legislature and this
probably means that before the
spring suns have dried the forests
to the danger point, a. rigid system
of protection will have been auth
orized by law.
The strong points of the measure
are that an experienced forester will
be employed and he will be author
lied to maintain patrols and see that
all precautionary provisions are en-
forced and will be held responsible
by a competent board of nine men.
Since the Hinckley fire-there was
none before-Minnesota has strug-
gled along with anything but ade-
quate forest protection and although
the venerable forestry commissioner,
General Andrews, has repeatedly
uttered the warning that proper ap-
preparation for protection should be
made, the state ignored his warning,
giving him niggardly $4,000 to
do the work requiring more than
double that amount to make any
sort of satisfactory showing, and
it was not until hundreds of acres of
valuable trees were turned into a
roaring inferno and many lives lost
that the public and lawmakers
awakened to the fact that something
must be done.
Other states have freely comment
protecting her timber and this state
has been pointed to by the federal
forestry bureau as one in which

WOMAN SUFFRAGE, POSTPONED.

The women of Minnesota came
within one vote of having a consti-
tutional amendment extending to
them the right of franchise put up
to the people.
To Senator F. L. Glotzbach of
Faribault belongs the distinction of
having thwarted the women in their
latest efforts to bring about more
equitable adjustment of human
rights. Had Senator Glotzbach
voted for the measure it would have
passed the senate and it has been
taken for granted that if the senate
acted favorably the house would do
likewise.
General Wilson, the senator from
Minneapolis, made a striking point
when he said that~it is only fair to
put the question up to the people
for final verdict. 49,.
II do not say said the general,
chat I am in favor Of permitting
women to vote, but do say that for
forty years women have been be-
seeching Minnesota legislatures to
let the people vote on the question,
and they are going to keep on until
the question is submitted: 1t is not
an issue that will down. If we turn
them down now they will be back in
two years: Why not put it to a
vote and be rid of it, for a time, at
least" ....
But the wise old generals plea
was not headed, and the bill went
down to defeat, only to bob up again
two years from now, and when in ali
likelihood it will pass.
Senator Ole Sageng, author of the
measure, made a notable speech in
favor of it's adoption. He placed
emphasis on his wonder that so much
pressure should be brought to bear
against such a bill; he cited such
men as Lincoln, late Senator Hoar,
Charles Sumner, and Theodore Roose-
Welt as champions for woman rights
and emphatically denounced the as
sertion that to give women the bal
lot would be to hand powerful
weapon to females of the lower
classes, declaring this assertion to
be a. slander on American mother
hood and American womanhood.
Woman suffrage, like the temper
ance crusade, often lacks diplomatic
leaders-they can't all be Mary Nc
Faddens-and as a result the final
triumph, which is as sure as that
we shall some day elect United States
senators by direct vote, is delayed.

Outplayed at Their Own Game.

The house passed reapportion-
ment bill; the senate killed it. Now
the Democrats are filled with an un-
holy joy over the neat way in%which
they put the Republicans in a hole.
Can't blame the Dems, though, the
Republicans. have, been so agitated
lest the Democrats get some little
prestige for securing a piece or two
of good legislation, that they got
careless and were outplayed at their
own game.-Sauk Center Herald

Political Death Warrants.

Some of the senator's are trying to
bluff Eberhart out, by saying that
by calling an extra session he would
be digging his political grave. In
effect, they hold that it would be
suicidal for him to do what he can
to put an end to the injustice that is
being and for many years has been
done to northern Minnesota in the
matter of representation in the two
houses of the state legislature, and
that his political future depends up
on his acquiesenece in the continu-
ance of this wrong for which they
are primarily responsible. Has it
come to such a pass that the people
prefer in seats of honor and author
ity men who stand for the wrong to
those who uphold the right? Those
senators who are threatening Eber-
hart are hereby signing their own
political death warrants, if their:
constituents are, as they should be,
honorable and fair minded people.
