RAISINS.

We have just had q national raisin day. The pur-
pose " designating a special day of this sort is frankly
10 promote a particular industry. And the purpose is
entirely laudable and praiseworthy. The raisin indus.
ny 's one OF the very important industries of the coun-
Try, and 1t merits the attention and the sympathy Of
one OF our most valuable and palatable foods. The
faisin IS liked by nearly everyone, and it contains highly
valuable 1000 elements in a most convenient form
Enos A. Mills, the famous naturalist and noun
talneer, in an address delivered in Grand Forks several
years, ago, said that he had found raisins to be. the best
ana most convenient food which he could carry on his
long hikes through the mountains. He said that on
trips lasting a few days he very often carried no other
food, merely filling his pockets and baversack with
raisins and n1unching them as he found convenient on
the way. Few of US would be satisfied with such a re-
strlcted diet, but it is a fact that raisins contain a large
quantity of food elements packed away in very small
space.
The development of the raisin industry, or rather,
OF the grape industry. Is one Of the modern curiosities.
been devoted to grape culture, the product in some cases
oelng marketed as grapes, and in others as wine. The
wine industry was a very important one to Californians.
The prospect Of national prohibition was decidedly
unsatisfactory to those who had the fruits of
a lifetime OF labor invested in vineyards. They thought
they saw ruin staring them in the face. But with the
advent of prohibition the grape industry, instead of Ian
gushing. jumped by leaps and bounds, and there is now
a far greater demand for the fruit of the vine than there
was in the palmy days Of the wine industry.
The fact is. AZ everyone knows. that with the elm
ination Of the legal sale of alcoholic beverages, there
arose an enormous demand for material for the sur
sreptitious manufacture of wine and brandy, and raisins
sSEere found to provide the desired basis more conven-
iently than any other commodity that could be used.
Consequently the California people are not only dispos-
ing Of all their grapes. but they are getting better prices
than they ever got before. :

NJ. G. OLSON:

In the death OF NJ. g.. Olson Grand Forks has lost
. good ctttSen and those who have been his intimates
In the past have lost a good friend. Mr.. Olson's bust
and enterprise, coupled with a high sense OF business
honor. Beginning iii a modest way, and applying t. his
work tho splendid talent which he possessed, Mr.. Olson
saw his enterprise expand until it has become one OF the
largest in the entire northwest. The plan which he un-
dertook was that of establishing many large retail stores
in separate cities rather than that Of concentrating all
his activities in one community. Both methods have
been made highly successful. the success of eaGlr de-
pending on the standpoint from which it was UNDER
taken and the temperament Of the individual. Mr.. Olson
made a decided success of his plan, and in doing SO per-
formed conspicuous service for the people Of many
widely separated communities.
In his. personal tastes as in his business methods,
Mr.. Olson was distinctivey a progressive man. In his
mercantile work he was satisfied with nothing less than
the best in stock, equipment and surroundings. And
his tendencies in this direction characterized his aui-
inauguratedr for the betterment of the community in its
business or civic relations, he was found taking an active
part in it, and in his years of residence in Grand Forks
he had come to be regarded as one of the most forceful
and dependable men in this line of activity.
OF his personal relations Mr.. Olson was one of the
most congenial and companionable. of men. His friends
have noted with regret Of late that his failing health
he had been accustomed, and they share the deep sorrow
of the bereaved members of his family that their friend
is no more to be with them.

FIFTY YEARS AGO

Inc 1lrst steps toward a settlement at Grand Forks
were taken Just fifty years ago. The letter form NJ. L.
ncCorHack published in another column calls atten.
ton to the fact that fifty years ago on April 2nh. the
s'eaher, oeik1rk arrived at the present sight Of tIfand
Forks with equipment tor the manufacture Of material
. II construction of houses necessary to supply settlers
shelter. Among the passengers on tho old selkirk
were Mr.. McCormack. who later became mayor of the
young city. Alexander Griggs who became a real estate
nnasnate and also mayor, and Thomas Walsh, who was for
many years identified with the history of the town, and
a snort time ago, passed to his reward. Mr.. McCor-
macks letter and the letters of Mr. Winship which have
been running in the Herald for a few weeks, will bring to
the minds of the older residents many things with which
they were familiar but which have almost been forgotten.
The founding Of a town on the frontier and the settle.
Ment d It's agricultural lands call for the exercise Of the
qualities of manhood Of the very highest nature, and those
qualities were conspiciously present among the pioneers
IN the Red River Valley. Hardy, adventurous fellows,
sometimes rough. but always energetic and enterprising.
they helped to lay the foundations of a great common
wealth and to- promote a new civilization. They had their
trials, their difficulties, their misrortunes, and their ti-
umphs. Life was not for them a bed OF roses, but a some,
thing that required hard work, patience, and unquench-
aoie Faith IN the future. Such qualities these men had,
and in building up their own fortunes which many Of
tnem oid very successfully. they built the first beginnings
OF a structure of community life which will endure for all
time. They worked hard, took long chances, played as
enthusiastically as they worked. and placed no limit upon
their own effort or upon what they demanded from those
associated with them. Where they were, things moved,
and the one thing which they could not endure was slug
gishness and stagnation.
A lot Of water has flowed downstream since fifty wear.
ago: Conditions of life have changed, and in becoming
more complicated, some forms Of our life have become less
desirable. Nevertheless progress has been made, progress
OF a very satisfactory and enduring kind. and the people
who arc with us today owe a very substantial debt to those
who preceded them half a century ago and faced I'M
known possibilities and took unknown chances in risking
their lives and their fortunes in what was then practically
an untrodden wilderness.
