E, The "flu" in it's ragings in and
around Gonvick, left it's mark OF
death in more than one home. The
happy home of Claus Asleson was no
execution to it's calling, and before
departing on it's errand Of pain and
death it had claimed his eight year
old daughter, Myrtle, on FEBRUARY
27. while on Monday his wife was
also called into the great beyond
from where no one returns. BEFORE
passing away she left a little baby
girl. which, according to late reports,
IS coming along fine. Just after his
wife passed Mr.. Asleson himself was
taken dangerously i'll and came very
near leaving also. He is now on the
road to recovery, which is happy
news to his hard struck remaining
children and neighbors. Mrs. AISLE
son was 81 years old at the time OF
; her death. She was daughter OF
Mr., and Mrs. Knute Svennes. Eight
children remain to mourn her loss.
Interment took place Tuesday at the
Samhold cemetery.
The directors OF the Farmers Mu-
tual Fire Insurance Company OF
Clearwater county have voted to
make all banks in the county depos-
itors for their funds. This was a
business move and will give the
farmers a chance to pay their annual
and other dues at the bank at which
they do business.
At a recent meeting held by the
directors of the Garden Valley Tele-
,phoen company at Erskine, T.. K.
Bergland of Clearbrook was re-elect-
ed president and Thos Vollom gen.
eral manager.
Frank Kautcher Of Greenwood
township the other day. threshed
800 worth of Alfalfa seed from a
three acre tract of land. This netted
him over 1926 per ataJ. Three years
ago he bought his 100 acre farm for
$4,000, and now almost paid third
of it from a crop of three acres in
alfalfa. This is mighty good reasons
why Clearwater county is one OF the
best countys in which to go after
farm in a business way and one OF
the main reasons every man and
woman who look for land and profit
able homes should make it a point
to look over our lands before locating
elsewhere.
There appears to be a certain ele-
ment in our county who take pride
in keeping clearwater county in the
back ground when we get to making
general improvements and especially
roads. This is very much to be re-
GREETED, and the day will come when
those characters and the interests
involved in the Matchmaking of Clear
water county and its citizens will be
sorry for their deeds and their men,
cries in place Of being written let
tiers of gold in the history of our
county will be known as the period
of disgrace and depression. Their
names forever disappear and never
remembered, because Of the utter
failure by them to understand and
grasp the opportunities which was
placed within the palm of their
hands But these same men, we hope,
will live long enough to see the work
completed in spite of themselves, and
when this is done they will hate
themselves more than the public will,
because they will have pity upon
them in their eternal misery, which
never can be attoned by human hands
on this side of the river Jordan. They
know not what they do, seems to be
the public opinion as a whole, and
this we hope is true. If not. the sin
is so much greater, and the curse so
much worse. Public improvements
can be temporarily held down, never
permanently, and at that we shall
reap the fruits of our labors earlier
than most people in our county real
ize at the present day.
The state editorial association at
their recent annual meeting at St..
Paul took great pleasure in passing
a resolution praising and holding

ton known as the American Legion;
