Successful gardening depends on
early production. Cold-frame plants
are more certain to live than hot-bed
plants, and give a large per cent Of
good stun than do the more tender
hot-bed plants.
In constructing such we use two
frames instead Of one. The larger
frame is AZ feet by tn feet and
foot deep. The inner one is one foot
smaller each way and only eight In
ches deep.
The space around the inner frame,
six inches wide, is filed with dry saw
dust well packed down.
The covering for the inner frame is
a glass-covered sash made to fit quite
close to the frame TO exclude air.
The outer frame is covered with an
oiled convassed frame so as to be
waterproof.
A strip Of carpet, or other good ma
terial, is kept over the inner sash in
severe weather.
We prefer shallow frames to keep
the plants from growing spindling.
We choose location free from cold
winds and where a good exposure TO
he sun can be had. II it is a little

North Dakota Need

The intimate relationship be-
tween Minneapolis and North
Dakota need: no emphasis here.
1t does need, however, a practical
expression at this particular sea-
son.
North Dakota is crippled for
lack of farm labor. eat least
10 per cent Of last years flax
crop is yet unthreshed," says a
news dispatch. At least 1000
men are needed for the market
ing of flax and the spring plow-
ing and seeding.
Minneapolis business bodies,
particularly the Civic and Com
merce association, should make
this situation their own. They
should enter upon. an inquiry in
to the feasibility Of sending Ia
borers to the lake region. This
is a rare opportunity to make
manifest in deeds the good will
they have so earnestly express
ed heretofore in words.

Concerning Citizens

What most concerns the cltl-
zens Of Washburn is the codni-
ton Of the City government. Be-
fore the election we called the
voters attention to the needless
expenditures Of the city and how
under the commission form OF
government many OF the evils
which had crept in to former adj
ministrations could be abolished.
Those opposed to a change OF
government held a city caucus
and nominated Thomas Mccain,
C. NJ. Diesen and Daniel Schultz,
three of our most respected citi-
zens and in whom we all had the
most explicit confidence, and who
were in favor of the Commission
system Of government. At the
same time it was given out that
under the Mayor and Aldermen
system they now proposed to run
the city cheaper than could be
done under the change proposed.
However at the election 43 good
citizens voted in favor Of the
election of these gentlemen. And
commission system, all residents
Of the city, not one OF them res
idents Of other states, nor gain
ed their residence by sleeping
on manure piles: We took it
for granted that Mr.. Mccain,
Mr.. Diesen, and MI. Schultz had
been seen and had agreed to
qualify as aldermen, if elected,
and hence no opposition at the
polls, but in now comes to light
that these gentlemen had not
been consulted by the caucus and
absolutely refused to qualify. This
was a fraud upon the voters for
any caucus, to mislead them in
this way, and believing these
gentlemen would serve and that
they would help to give us a
good administration, many who
were in favor of the Commission
system voted against it believ-
ing that we could get the relief
we were entitled to through the
election Of the gentlemen. And
here we are without a board Of
Aldermen, and in all probability
the necessity Of another election.
Saving Of expenses to the tax
payers with a vengeance, and the
parties who are esponsible for
this condition will add nothing to
their former reputation by such
reprehensible conduct.
There was another condition Of
the administration which we look
ed to see changed and that was
the office Of City Marshal. We
have already pointed out the fact
that some, 1890, has beer, paid q
city marshal in the past five years
and for WHAT Il il not . fact
that thu city marshal saw some,

ton" and comprises between seven and
eight thousand acres of virgin forest, con.
tanning fine specimens of pine, hemlock,
oak and other trees. The scenery about
this park is very beautiful. We have
seen many photographs taken OF some of
the beauty spots in aud around the park,
and they are rs fine as anything one can
imagine. The Clarion river is very wide
at this point, forming something ofa lake.
There are located within the boundaries
OF this park springs of several different
varieties OF ineral water, and for some
time past some of the citizens have tried
u persuade the Cook brothers to sell this
property to the state. They have finally
succeeded, and an appropriation is pro.
posed to be made by the Legislature
land aud convert 1t into a public park.
IL Is accessible to all cities such as Erie.
Meadville, Cory, Franklin, Oil City, and
is not far from Piusburg. Railroad ac.
commodations will be established so that
persons can easily get to the park for an
outing, returning to their homes the
same day. What grand place It would
be for an outing for the people of Venango
county!
We are heartily in favor of purchasing
this land from the Cook brothers and
trust that our representatives at Harris
burg will vote in favor of this bill. II is
something that every body in this part of
the state would be interested in II they
were told of its beauties. We hope that

vanis will take hold of the matter
