Strawberries Galore

We wish to give our readers some
idea of the way the farmers are
working with strawberries this year.
While the Gazette reporter was out
on little visiting trip on Big Bear
ridge, he called at the home of w.

plants gaowing. Upon investigating
he learned that Mr.. Kennedy had

he was preparing the ground for the

Rushing Silk to Factory

Talking about transportation feats
of the present date, here is another
item regarding a silk train special
over the Northern Pacific Railway
that causes one to stop and compare
the transportation facilities of the
present date with what they were
even as short time as quarter of
a century ago.
On May 25th the steamer Cyclops
of the Blue Funnel Line" left
Yokahoma, having in its cargo 1860
bales of silk valued at $685. 900.
On Saturday June 9th at 5:45 P. M,
this silk, loaded in five baggage cars
with a passenger coach for the crew.
left Tacoma bound for St. Paul over
the Northern Pacific and running
special. This train reached St. Paul
at o:3O P. M. Monday June 10th,
where it was turned over to the Bur-
lington road en- route to Chicago and
from there to New York was carried
over the Pennsylvania system.
The train travelled over the North
ern Pacific. including the crossing of
both the Cascade and Rocky Noun
tain ranges. at an average rate of
speed of 36 miles an hour including
all stops and twelve changes of en-
gines. The distance travelled between
Tacoma and St. Paul, 1904 mi. was
made in 81 hrs. and As min. These
bales of silk were transported 455e
miles across the Pacific ocean. 1904
miles over the Northern Pacific. 431
miles over the Burlington. and oO7
miles over the Pennsylvania road
making total of 75lO miles in al
from the starting point to destination
In the eastern silk mills this raw
material from China will be worked
up into garments for Milady of fash
ion.
1t is such episodes in transporta
ton as this that make US consider
the great dependability of the remote
sections of the earth upon eacl
other, not alone for the luxuries ol
life but even in many cases. for tn
absolute necessaries, at least. as the
latter word is understood in this 2Otl
century.

THE WATER GRADE
SURE IS THE BEST
Cedar Creek Citizens Are
The Kind That Build
Roads.

A little over year ago the over
seer of the above named road
started work on the road that would
be water grade down from Cedar
creek to the town of Kendrick. The
old road was almost impossible at
any time of summer or winter. The
grade was too much to haul over.
The overseer M. jerks, started work
on the road down the creek which
looked like an endless job. For
year. with a faithful crew, they have
blasted out rock, filled in the low
places with rock and timbers, then
over it all with the grader. Now it
is one of the best roads in the coun-
try. The work, with the exception
of a small part, has been donated by
the citizens living along the road,
the farmers on Cedar creek and
some from the citizens of Kendrick.
The county tax furnished a small
portion. The cost has been about
$500 for the one and one-eighth
miles of road but every man who
lives in that part of the country as
we'll as those who at any time have
to drive over the road will never re-
gret the dollars spent on it.
Tuesday, the farmers and their
wives and children gathered at the
upper end # the road to celebrate
the completion of their work. The
occasion is one long to be remem-
bered by the ones present. The Ed
itor and wife were present and we
can say that the farmers on Cedar
creek are not only good road builders
but good feeders. On our return in
the evening, we drove over the part
of the road being built under the
supervision of James Langdon. They
are doing fine work, Down in the
city limits good work is going on un
der the guiding eye of H. F. Durbin
Let the good work go on and in the
near future the roads leading to Ken
drick can't be beat.

Inc Dill knoWns as zthe 1hree-
Year Homestead Act, which has
been pending in congress for some

body and singed by President Taft
on last Thursday. sIt provides that
all entries not yet perfected as well
as those to be made in future will be
subject to final proof and patent in
three years from date of entry. in
stead of five years as heretofore.
This will be a great boon to many
settlers in the northwest and will
have the effect to more rapidly place
