Lem w Swain arrived home on Tuesday.
He has been in South Dakota for some
months Five weeks ago he went to Two
HarbOrs, Minnesota, TO assist in the care OF
his aged mother, who met with very severe
accident for one of her years of better than
eighty. who sustained a broken leg. an auto
mobile having backed against her, throwing
her down. She is being cared for at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Peters, with
whom she has lived for two three years.
MIR Swain told the Censor that he visited
portions of the devastated district made by
the late forest fires, and that the destruction
TO life and property was almost unbelievable.
The FIRE was halted within twenty rods Of the
city of Two Harbors, which has population
of 10000. A favorable wind and desperate
work on part of fre-fghters prevented de-
struction of the town.
Mr.. Roy P. Bean paid friends a brief
visit and was with his parents for week
at the Retreat home. He was returning from

where they were put into cold storage. The
fruIt was consignment from the iruit grow
of North Yakima, WashingtOn, where ht
is the governments expert on farm, fruit
and animal indurtry. TIE told the Censor
that they have a very good fruit crop this
season and it is commanding large figures,
possibly not greater than will compensate
growers for their losses in late years. Roy
is very partial TO the great west but is frank
in the statement that with the same pro-
tecting laws and care given fruit growing in
Wisconsin just as fine varieties car be grown,
with finer flavor. In this he agrees with
many others who are familiar with fruit
conditions.
