Mr.. Simonsen was interviewed by a
reporter for the Minneapolis Tribune,
which paper carried his picture and
the following write-up last week:
"Railroading in the states is just
a serene, uneventful pastime COM
pared with railroading in Alaska.
That's the assurance of Captain S.

has spent the last 10 years in the
far north. He was in Minneapolis
Wednesday enroute to his former
home in Lake Benton.
I'm the winter time, the snow piles

ANSWERS CALL
Edward HalvOrSOn Is Laid to Rest
After Efghty.fOur Years Of
Productive Life.

Edward Halvorson, Sandstone pio-
neer, passed away last Thursday aft
ernoon at 1890 p. m, after having at
tanned the age of Sd years. 3 months
and 90 days. Mr.. Halvorson was of
sturdy stock and was up and around
until the last few months when he
was confined to his home with his
last illness. He was born in Thurn-
burg, Norway. where he spent his ear
ly days. About the year 1885 he, to-
gether with his family came to this
country, settling at Eau Claire, Wis,
where they lived for year before
coming to Sandstone, then known as
Mineral Springs. That was before the
railroad was built. The family being
true pioneers, saw many hardships in
the early life of this section but al
ways made the best of every situation.
Mr.. HalvOrson, by vocation was Il
woodsman and also worked in the
Sandstone quarries for many years.
Two daughters and three sons, Mrs.
Adolph S. Larson, Mrs. Alice Carlson,
Arthur, Harry, and George, all living
in Sandstone, survive.
Mr.. Halvorson always took an active
interest in governmental affairs of the
country and was a Staunch Democrat
at the polls. He always stood for
what he deemed was best for his fell
lowmen. Among his last utterances
was the expression, These present
day politics will never work; the gov
eminent can not take care of the peO-
pie, the people must take care of
and support the government"
The funeral services were conducted
from the Norwegian Lutheran church
Sunday afternoon with Rev. John A.
Hughes officiating and preaching a
very impressive sermon. The choir
sang some beautiful hymns and the
floral offerings were many and pretty.
Three sons and three grandsons car
ried the body to it's last resting place.
Deep sympathy from a large circle
of friends go out to the sOrrOwing
family in their hour of sorrow.

Manager Reports.
During the business session We'd
nesday afternoon, N. K. Carnes, gen.
eral manager of the Central, gave a
complete and detailed discussion of
worldwide factors influencing the
activities of his organization during
the past year.
Touching upon the business of the
Central Cooperative Association, Mr..
CarneS stated that as the year 1888
closed, it had as member stockholders
5S3 livestock shipping associations ir
the five Northwest states which owned
common stock costing S25 per share,
and 9,235 individual farmer members
who are owners of preferred stock
costing 81 per share.
The total value Of stock issued and
outstanding at the close of 1888 was
S30,260. 1t is interesting to note that
with this small amount of stock out
standing, the Central did a business
during 1888 which yielded a net saw
ings of $156,057.S1, the largest on
record for the organization. This
is proof to anyone reading our finan-
cial statement that the Central Co
! Operative Association is not a stock
promotion project" said the manager.
Items which we commonly think
of in connection with cost of market
| ing represent about Is per cent of the
actual cost. Livestock producers of
the country received 721 million dol
lars for their livestock in 1892 and
during the same year the packer paid
861 million dollars for it. The con-
sumner paid 1855 million dollars for
the same products from this livestock
and from these figures one can read
lily see that IS per cent of the mar
keting costs are from the packer to
the consumer"
other speakers we'll known among
farmers of the Northwest included
the Hon. Henrik Shipstead, U. S. Sen
ator; ]. P. Riordan, of the Farm
Credit Administration; Dean w. c.
Coffey and DIR. Andrew Boss of the
Agricultural College, st Paul. The
last two presented to the audience
the provisions of the Corn-Hog Allot-
ment plan.
