Grand Forks people who visited the Lewis & Clark Exposition last sum mer at Portland, were doubtless struck, as were thousands of other visitors from the other portions of the United States, with, the beauty ofUhe government building.

Mr. Ballinot only had charge of the government building at the ex position, but he built, the -new post office ln^ that city at the same time.

Mr. JiAnaon is In the bee 1 —_ business oved that it is a profitable interesting study.' Over and haa as 'well nine years ago he started to work with bees, but for a long'time had trouble in keeping them through the long, cold winter.

At present-Mr. Johnson has an out side cellar, built in the dry clay soil, in which he successfully wintered his bees for the padt three years. From one swarm alone Mr. Johnson has obtained over 100 pounds of clear extracted honey and when the swarms are placed in the cellar for the winter they weigh as much as fifty or fifty-five pounds each. Mr. John son said yesterday that the bees are anxious to get out of the cellar now, and the first "sunshine will see them all freed. Last year he was able to let them out the twenty-second day of February and did not loose a swarm, but owing to the extreme cold of this spring he has been forced to keep them prisoners as yet.
