Qyde LaFollette
Raising Oranges
Wheatland Farmer Expects
Citrus Trees to Bear
Fruit This Year
By BEULAH CHAPMAN
Sleet and frosts cannot con
vince Clyde LaFollette, Wheat
land farmer, that citrus fruits
should not be grown in the Willa

trees and a lemon tree, each about
3H feet hirh and described by the
owner as vigorous and healthy!
A few of the coldest winter

lanterns to keep the trees warm
but such special attention is re
quired only a few days each year.
Specially-built glass covers pro

Experiments in raising oranges
were begun by LaFollette In 1931.
following a tour of California and
Hawaii, where he had interview
ed tropical fruit raisers. The tree
he set out that year grew at an
unusually rapid rate and was bear

tree was seven feet tall, the more
than 250 oranges that set on
were thinned to 80 These ripened
and the flavor excelled that of
fruit shipped from the south, ac
cording to those who tasted the
oranges.
Encouraged by the success of
the undertaking, LaFollette set
aside half an acre for a real orange
grove. But the next year disaster
in the form of heavy freezes
hit the orchard. The trees were
killed.

not known as a Rose City It is
still a city of roses. Because we
have had roses aud trees in our
civic center for a number of years
we have drawn many admirers to
our capital city.
Because this is so, we should
keep the roses we have there and
replace in our postofflce square
the Caroline roses which were
taken out, soon after the com
pletion of the postofflce.
A fine grass lawn can be beau
tiful but with Just lawn around
any building without trees or
shrubs or flowers there is monot
ony. The shadows on the lawn
from a birch tree can be beau
tiful, the delicate colorings of
rose and buds are exquisite and
create Interest and admiration.
especially during months when
most flowers are gone.
Some Chicago tourists cam
through Salem one summer and
they marveled that those roses
stayed on the bushes. They said
they would not stay there if those
bushes were in Chicago. Many
tourists have beea seen taking
pictures of those roses on the
courthouse lawn in November and
this year those courthouse roses
and buds were in blossom when
the Christmas tree was lluminat
ed this December.
A certain young lady of our
city who is making a miniature
of the courthouse square with
its courthouse, the "now-becoming-famous"
Christmas tree, and
the roses, was told by one of the
state officials that he thought she
was Inconsistent having roses and
a Christmas tree in the same
scene, but this year she did pick
a bunch of roses and buds on the
evening when the tree was lit
and sent them to this gentleman.
Such scenes as this is what at
tracts the people who come from
dust bowls, prairies, flooded
areas, and blizzards.
Hundreds of people admire and
want the roses back, but, it is
to be hoped that they can bo

narrow curb walk as is found on

the small park between the capl

It has been suggested that th

It need not be high enough to

Salem Couple's Greeting Received
From Famed Alaskan Leader Brings
Reminder of Perilous Snow Trek
By E.O.
Those interested in the recent
news of business activity we
might say boom now pervading
the Sitka section of Alaska, would
find a mint of pleasure as well
as valuable information in Bar
rett Wllloughby'a book, "Sitka,
Portal to Romance," brimming
over with vivid and colorful de
scription of life and historic data
in that section of Alaska more
than three decades ago.
Of further Interest is the fact
that local residents, Mr. and Mrs.
Howard Goodfellow, who were en
gaged in business for several years
at Fairbanks and vicinity, knew
intimately there one of the out
standing characters featured in
the book, Theodore Kettleson,
then US marshal at Fairbanks;
member of the first territorial
legislature, and otherwise a prom
inent and picturesque figure
wherever he has resided in Alaska.
Achievements Known Here
For 12 years he was superin
tendent of the Sitka l'lonear
home (maintained by Alaskans
exclusively for disabled aud en
feebled sourdoughs), which in
stitution, together with the grip
ping history of Sitka w h I c h
played such a stellar role In Uncle
Sam's purchase of that treasure
land is vividly portrayed In Bar

author's high tributes therein to
the character and achievements
of Mr. Kettleson were derived

and contact with him, both dur

rf oitinnat interest, it is
learned from the Goodfellows that
Mr. Kettleson is further linaea
to Alaskan history by Tirtue of a
thrilling and tragic experience,
when he and another US marshal,
Percy Charles, were delegated to
deliver a fortune in gold bullion
to a Seattle bank, which neces

Trapped in Blizzard"
During the trek, the w.e f "
ped by the historic blizzard of
1907, during which their sled
dogs became Incapacitated by the
cold, and the men were thus forced
to the tragic necessity of pro
ceeding without their Indispens
able service. Yet, with the spirit
of the true Alaskan as loyal to
their faithful huskies as the ani
mals had been to them they
would not leave them to perish,
but, now coaxing, now command
ing the half-frozen animals, they
dragged them and the gold-laden
snow sled over the perilous tun
dra, conquering almost impossi
ble drifts battling the terrific
blizzard and Arctic temperature
by every effort which human in
genuity could devise (at which
Alaskans are so adept).
Thus through the blinding
storm of piercing Icy, wind-blown
sleet they struggled on -stumbling
of ttimes falling s o m e
tlmes crawling gouging their
way through the ice-encrusted
snow still towing their beloved
half-frozen dogs, as well as the
cumbersome sled. But they' final
ly reached the roadhouse refuge
located on their way, where they
stopped for but a brief rest be
fore proceeding on to Valdez,
where they boarded a vessel for
Seattle, to deliver the fortune in
gold bullion which had been en
trusted to their care.
Trek Foreran Highway
It Is of interest to know that
this historic trek paved the way
for the great Richardson highway,
government-sponsored, now in use
in that section.
The Goodfellows have recently
received an interesting letter from
Mr. Kettleson, who has Just re
turned to Sitka after an extended
trip to Seattle which, he opines,
has almost as much "Alaska
spirit" as Alaska Itself. Mr. Ket
tleson holds a responsible official
position with the Sitka Wharf
& Power company. He reports
active business in the Sitka sec
tion and predicts a successful sea
son ahead in the mining, fishing
and fur industries, as well as an
active tourist season.
Kettleson Visit Anticipated
Mrs. Goodfellow and Mr. Kettle
son were schoolmates, when chil
dren, at Waupaca, Wis., and aft
er having been out of touch for
years, met coincidentally when
they established in business at
Fairbanks, in 1907, where he was
at that time US marshal.
In his recent letter he promise
to visit them on his next trip to
the states, which he anticipates
making the coming season.
