israel Sjoberg is one Of Roseau
county's successful pioneer mer-
chants. lie halls from northa1n
Sweden where they mine a great
deal Of iron, and he has also been en-
lowed by nature with a great deal &C
iron, that is intellectual moral and
physical force, in his make up. Mr..
|.SJobergs is a great student Of politi-
cat and economic questions and has
strong convictions Of his own as to
how many Of the problems now agi-
tating the public mind ought to be
solved. Especially has he given a
great deal of thought to the matter
Of taxation, and he has some very
original ideas on this subject. In
the matter of taxation, our country
still retains systems and methods
that have been discarded long ago
| by other enlightened nations. In
short, he favors a system Of taxa
! ton based on incomes and ability. 20
pay. On the question Of drainage he
|also@ has views of his own based on
his observations and familiarity
with the practical operations Of
drainage. "A naanl.lilxe Mr. Sjoberg
would be a very useful one in the
state. legislature, as he would not be
content to follow Beaten paths but
would strike out boldly on new lines
of legislative activity. Many years
ago, the republicans in this legisla
tive district wanted very much to
place Mr.. Sjoberg in the field for
representative, but he refused fatty
to accept a nomination. Apparently
Mr.. Sjoberg's ambition is not in the
line of politics. In our humble
opinion, however, Roseau county
would honor itself and do a good
tara to the state by sending Mr.
Sjoberg to the legislature some time,
whether he wanted to go or not.
Mr. sjoberg has gone into farm
| ing extensively in late years and he
prides himself Of being farmer.
While we were in Roseau we call
ed on Mrs. Peter Skog, now past 80
years old, and who lives and keeps
house for her son Fred in small
house on the edge Of the village.
The family formerly lived in War
renton in this county, removing to
Roseau about 20 years ago When
employed as. a teacher in the Dali
quist district we boarded at her
home, and we were glad at the OPP
porttunity to see her and to thank
her for all the kindness which she
showed to us then She still remen-
beers many Of the old settlers and
Ineighbors Of those days and sends
greetings to them. Her husband
died many years ago and she IS now
quite feeble owing to her advanced
l.age and the hardships she has suf-
fered in her long life.
