HOPE FOR
Of
President Luce ol New
Railroad Answers Norway
Lake Letter.
The prospects for an electric line
west from Mineapolis to the south of
us have stirred "the "people of the
northwestern part,of our county to
renewed interest in the railroad ques
tion. The matter of a branch line
north from Lake Lillian to connect
Avith Svea, Willmar and northwest to
Sunburg will appeal very strongly to
the people along the line. Hon. P.
A. Gandrud, as^one of. the officers of
the temporary organization effect id
at the meetings held a year aw
the Norway Lake country, wrote
President Luce of the Electric Short
Line last week and in reply received
the following letter:
Mr. P. A. Gandrud,
Sunburg, Minn.
Dear Mr Gandrud:
You favor of Nov. 25th at hand
and contents carefully noted. The
Electric Short Line Railyway people
look with favor upon your territory
as being exceptionally fertile for a
branch line. Our efforts are, and
must be for some time in the future
directed entirely to building the main
line. It is our intention as soon as
one of our engineering crews are at
liberty to let them investigate the
route through your territory, with
the idea of building a branch line as
a feeder.
There is no one better aware than
yourself that it takes money to build
railroads, and unless you can show
investors that they can make more
money by investing in the railroad
than they can in mortgages that they
will stick to the mortgage proposi
tion.
I have always felt that our rail
road ought to, and will earn at least
twice or three times as much interest
as we could get out of mortgages.
The Luce family believing the same
as I do have invested over one mill
ion and a half in this enterprise, and
we have today more than two hun
dred men with bridge crews, pile
driving crews, steam shovel crews,
etc, at work pushing this road to
wards completion as fast as could be
expected.
Thanking you for your inquiry. I
am
Very truly yours,
ELECTRIC SHORT LINE RY. CO.

HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY MEETS
Holds Two Sessions at Court House
Last Friday.
The Kandiyohi County Horticul
tural Society held its annual meeting
at Willmar last Friday and drew a
goodly number of horticulturists to
its sessions from various parts of the
county. The meetinc was called to
order by the president, John Ahl
strom, at eleven o'clock. The min
utes and report of the secretary, C.
C. Selvig, were read. Mr. Ahlstrom
made a report of the work of the
county's exhibit at the State Fair.
One thing that was particularly grat
ifying to the Horticultural society
was that our county with Stevens
county, scored the highest on fruit
among the competing counties in this
section of the state. He also showed
a photograph of the county booth.
It was also proposed that a com
mittee from the society act in con
junction with one to be appointed by
the Kandiyohi County Agricultural
society to bring the matter of an ap- I
proDriation for an exhibit next year
before the county commissioners. On
this committee the president appoint
ed John Wicklund, Prof. McNelly and
S. E. Magnuson.
Mr. Ahlstrom was called upon for
information as to the success of the
everbearing strawberry with whic-x
he has been experimenting at the
Elmhurst Farm for the past two or
three years. He stated that the berry
had been doing well with him so far.
On a small patch this year he had
sold for $27.00 worth", besides had
berries for table use occasionally all
summer and fall. On being asked
what variety of strawberrv, aside
from the everbearing, which he would
recommend, he stated that the Excel
sior was best for earl- icking and
that the Parson's Beaut- had ^rov
ed a good bearer with him.
John Wicklund reported that the
Sunbeam raspberry was doing well
and bore this season.
The subject of apples and annle
tree planting was discussed. One
thing brought out in this connection
by Mr. Selvig was that of having ob
served on certain trees in the city of
Willmar where much filling of dirt
had been made around the trees in
grading lots, the crop of apples was
more profuse than usually was the
ease on other trees, which gave rise
to the question whether this filling
of dirt was the cause or not. How
ever, it was the consensus of ODUI
ion that on high well drained land
the trees should be planted from 12
to 18 inches deeper than thev were
at the nursery. Some of the older
members who have old trees, stated
that they would recommend planting
trees 25 feet apart each way.
None of the members present re
ported any blight on the am)le trees
this season. And the conditions for
a good crop next year apnear verv
favorable.
Rev. Horatio Gates gave an inter
esting talk on fruit growing, methods
of cultivation and planting of or
chards in northern Wisconsin, having
visited those parts last summer. He
particularly emphasized the benefits
to which the growers there have re
ceived from organization and con
certed action.
It was a little late when the presi
dent blew the dinner horn but the ap
petites had become the more whet
ted, when all the members repaired
to the Commercial Hotel where they
enjoyed dinner.
The afternoon session was callei
to order by Secretary Selvig and the
president and vice president being
absent John Wicklund was elected
president pro temp.
T'.e matter of a short course in
horticulture this winter was discuss
ed, Prof. McNelly reading an outline
for a one week's course to include
also poultry raising. It was the gen
eral opinion that such a course
should be held and Prof. McNelly, C.
C. Selvig and S. E. Magnuson were
appointed a committee to arrango
for one
The following officers of the As
sociation were elected for the coming
year: John Wicklund, president Rev.
H. Gates, vice president: C. C. Sel
vig, secretary and treasurer C. L.
McNelly. S. E. Magnuson and J. B.
Olson, members of the executive
mittee.
As delegate to the State Horticul
tural meeting, P. H. Peterson of At
water was elected C. C. Selvig was
elected alternate.
The committee appointed last win
ter to urge upon the county board
that Sheriff Bonde be reimbursed by
the county for his personal expens
es in buying bulbs, flowers and shruos
for beautifying the court house
grounds reported that the county
board would take no action Mr.
Bonde having gone into this under
taking on his own accord refuses to
put in any bill for expenses iand as
ther-j is no legal claim brought in the
boai-i fsays it is helpless. The com
mittee was retained however, and in
structed to urge-the county commis
sioners that special fund to be set
aside to be used for the purpose of
beautifying the court house grounds.
The society accepted an invitation
from Secretary Selvig to hold its
summer meeting at the tatter's cot
tage at Eagle Lake.'
