{ PEOPLE NEEI) A RAILROAD BAI)LY (Continued from first page). Many others raised from 1,600 to 2,- 000 bushels. There is enough timber in the country to provide plenty of fuel and still leave enough for wind breaks. * “One farmer, Mr. Sundberg is sell-| ing from fourteen to eighteen gallons of cream per month from twelve! grass fed cows and his cream checks average $40 per month. Sletten’s, cream checks average $60 per month. The best month was that.of Buck who took home a check for $200. Mr. Stewant believes that once a railroad is put into that country, the development will be rapid and the towns. will be settled up in a short time. He says that the land is rich and that many settlers are locating: in bogs which make the best kind of land as soon as the. ditch is put through. The people are mostly Scandinavians who have a strong love of their local country and who want to get in closer touch with Be- midji and the rest of the county.

Da~ Camp said that there was no danger of an upset. We were in a covered rig. He mistook a lump of dirt for a snow pile and drove on it overturning the rig.

FARMERS ORGANIZE CLUB. Grant Valley Families Start Move- ment for Many Such Groups. Farmers in the town of Grant Val- ley have organized a club which may prove ihe first of many to be organ- ized in the vicinity of Bemidji. The Grant Valley club has not yet adopted 2 name and permanent organization, but has elected Charles Schroeder its temporary president and William Se- ville secretary. The club las six- teen members. : A. E. Nelson, who has been urging tue farmers to organize local -clubs, believes that twelve families in.one community make the best club. Such a club can meet with one family each month so that each family entertains the club once a year. Owing to the size of the howens larger numbers caunot be accomodated. Im the sum- mer, two or more clubs can meet for a picnic. Once several clubs are or- ganized, a central club is planned to which each club will elect one or more delegates. The members of the Grant Valley club are Charles Schroeder, A. P. Ritchie, Ira Foster, H. Brakke, F. M. Pendergast, 8. W. Scott, Martin Ho- gan, W. A, Cassler, Matt Meyer, William Morris, Kenneth Morris, William Seville, Lorin Coyle, J. H. French, Clayton Winter, and Will Dodge. —a SEND THE WASHING HOME Travelling Men Find Parcel Post Convenient Way to Cut Expenses By United Pross. Milwaukee, Wis.,, Jan. 21.—The parcel post is being hailed by Mil- waukee traveling men as the “first aid to the knight of the grip.” ~They say that in the future the tired drum- mer will not struggle toward the best hotel sagging under the weight of a, heavy bag. He will strut jauntily along with a little bundle under his arm. All this on account of the parcel post. Hundreds of salesmen in' Wiscon- sin, according to post office authorit- ies, are sending home clothing by the parcel post to be washed. The drum- mer carries away from home two complete outfits of clean clothes, when one outfit is soiled he mails it home. Wife washes it and shoots it back. Hubby comes back with the second soiled bundle and so on, The postage is less than a laundry bill would be, say the drummers, and thé, clothes last longer.

It was bullt, ‘in 1839 to facilitate the trans- ‘portation of slate from the Welsh: quarries to Portmadoc. The. long in- clines then ‘would carry the cars to thefr “destination by gravity, while horzes would haul back the empties. In 1863, after twenty-three years of service for the guarries, C. E. Spoon- or, an engineer, suggested that the steam engine be injroduced and the railroad reconstructed to carry pas sengers and freight.
