Thank You!
It is now about three months
since I came to this city and
purchased the outfit and busi

Laundry. At that time the in
stitution was.
A Losing Proposition,
the first week's business being
less than the actual expenses.
But thanks to the courtesies of
the people of Willmar and vi
cinity, the business has gradu
ally increased each week until
it is now on
A Paying Basis
and gives promise of doing
even better in the future. This
is not said in a spirit of brag
adocio but simply to show those
of you who are my patrons that
your patronage has helped
along the aggregate result and
has been appreciated. There
are however numerous others
whose names I would like to
see on my register.

Death at Lake Elizabeth.
Mrs. John Johnson died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. August Broman
in Lake Elizabeth, on Tuesdays night.
Her death can be ascribed to no other
cause than that of old age. The first?
sign of her illness was noticed at noon
on Monday, and on the night of the
day following she passed away. The
funeral will be held tomorrow, Satur
day, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, at
the home, and at 12 o'clock at the
Swedish M. E church in Atwater.
Dereased was born in Sweden Dec.
4, 1824, and wfcs thus in the 82nd year
of her age. she came to this country
about fifty years ago. Shortly after
her arrival here she married and took
up her residence in the town of Lake
Elizabeth, being one of the earliest
settlers, and being here at the time
of the Indian massacre. One child
was born to Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, a
daughter, the wife of August Broman
of Lake Elizabeth. Ever since the
marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Broman,
the deceased, and also her husband,
up until the time of his death, had
made their home at the residence of
their daughter and family. The hus
band, John Johnson.' passed away
about five years ago, and the only
immediate relatives of the deceased in
this country are Mrs. Broman and
the members of her family.—Atwater

Willmar is Defeated.
The bowling contest between Will
mar and Clara City last Tuesday re
sulted in an overwhelming victory -for
Clara City. The latter team won
every game and defeated her opponent
by 572 pins for the three first games.
The playing was too one-sided to be
interesting, but in justice to Willmar
it must be said that only two of their
regular team were present. Three of
them played as if they had never seen
a bowling alley.
Three more games were played in
the evening and these series proved
more interesting, as Willmar had
three Clara City players, but the regu
lar team also won hanjdily, beating
their opponents in the three games by
220 pins.
In the two men contest Clara City
represented by Masteller and Bierma,
defeated Jones and Ferguson by 180
in two games played. The total were
Clara City 630 and Willmar 450.
There was an enthusiastic crowd of
"rooters" present and cheered each
good play. The noise they made
sounded like a summer base ball
game.
After the contests the bowlers re
paired to the Commercial hotel, where
an elegant lunch was served to about
twenty persons. Altogether it was a
most pleasant affair. As the bowling
season is about over this will probably
be the last contest held in Clara City
till fall .—ClaraCity Herald.

"Scribbler"Letter
Springdale Ranch, Wash..
March 25, 1906.
I manage to have a good time every
where, and am making the best of it here
also. The weather is beautiful and the
spring work is coming to a close. There is
some anxiety as to the condition of the grain
seeded before the recent cold spell.
One thing that an inhabitant of Norway
Lake misses here is the churches. People
out here have something else to do than to
dot the country with church steeples. One
can drive over the country from morning till
night without seeing a church. The people
are satisfied with the churches at the sta
tions along the railroads.
I will in this article briefly mention only
three farmers. "A Mr. Mayer, three miles
nortkwest of here, is putting in 1,300 acres.
He has a fine farm, well equipped with
houses, machinery and horses. J. W. Ingles,
four miles east of here, is accompanied
wherever he goes by ten dogs often different
full-blood breeds, some of which cost him
$50. After viewing the situation for a while
I said, "It would not be wise for this man to
enter into Jerico (Norway Lake), and it may
be that when this country gets civilized he.
will have to spend lots of his time going
around to the neighbors to bury dogs."
After sizing him tfp I took him for a profes
sional trapper and hunter, and formed the
opinion that he would not be competent to
run a 40-acre farm. But I found to my sur
prise that he has 1,800 acres to put in. The
third man I will mention' is Luther P. Tur-

Of course you can't measure the value of

ner, near Harrington. The section of the
Big Bend country known as the Harrington
wheat belt has been aptly termed '"The Cali
fornia farming district of Washington." In
no other part of the west, perhaps with
the exception of the Sacramento and the
San Joaqujn valleys'in California, Is farming
done on such an immense scale. Few fairly
realize the magnitude of the farming opera
tions of the Harrington wheat belt, so
recently has the region been transformed
from the vast stock range stretching as far
as the eye could see, and considered by the
majority of those who saw it as fit for noth
ing else, into one of the richest wheat-grow
ing setions of the world. And with this
transformation has come almost uncon
sciously the California method of larming—
that is, doing everything on a large scale
and wherever possible making the horses
and mules do as much of the work as possi
ble. In fact, the rule is to make one man
manage as many horses and mules as he
possibly can, and a farm hand who cannot
drive eight to fourteen head of stock in one
team might as well not apply for work, for
if he is taken on he will find to his sorrow
that he cannot fill the bill and must step
aside for some one who can. Perhaps on no
farm in this section is the work done on a
more extensive" scale and so much land suc
cessfully cultivated as by Mr?* Turner, the
wheat king of the Harrington wheat belt.
Mr. Turner, who now pays more taxes than
any other man in Lincoln county, came here
a few years ago a poor man. He began
farming on a small scale, and as fast$ as he
accumulated a few hundred dollars he
invested it in. land, until today he is one of
the largest individual land owners in eastern
Washington, having-5,920 acres in wheat,

practically all in one body lying within a
few miles of Harrington and valued at the
present prices at $263,800. Add to this the
value of the stock and implements necessary
to iarm such a tract of land, and which in
this instance are the best that money can
buy, and Mr. Turner is easily worth $275,
000, exclusive of town property, bank stock
and other assets which he has accumulated
while engaged in farming. Spring work is
now in full blast at Turner's place, and the
magnitude would prove a revelation to the
farmers of the central and eastern states.
About 200 head of work horses are required
to plow the ground and put in the crop.
The plows used are those known as the
Bonanza gang, each having four ten-inch
plows and drawn by eight or ten horses.
Thus forty inches of ground are turned over
at each round with the plow, and as several
dozen of these are strung out in a line an
ordinary farm is put in condition for seeding
each day. In this section the farmers use
what is known as the summer fallow system
—that is, they let one half of the land rest
each year and farm the other half. The land
thus left idle is plowed and thoroly culti
vated and thus put in condition for a crop
the next year. Following up this system
Mr. Turner has about 3,000 acres of wheat
each year, which at an average crop of 30
bushels to the acre (and his crop last year ran
considerably better tham that) gives him
about 90,000 bushels of wheat to market each
year. The prevailing price being about 65
cents per bushel brings in round numbers
about $58,500 for his crop. Besides the
