Kuan hurt in the least. It was stated. There wasj some loss because inexperienced growers cut the besds while tbe frost was still upon tbem.

We should be organized to meet the tourists, pro vide entertainment for them, direct thorn to places where they may en' Joy the greatest scenery that tho entire world has to offer. "We must forget our cnmyunlty rivalry, that Is our knocking one another, and all work for tho Btate at large.
