Washington apples for sale

From the Pope County Tribune, Thursday, Nov. 30, 1922.

Minnewaska Still Open. It is not many years that Lake Minnewaska has remained open until the last days of November like it has this year. Many a year the people have been skating all over the lake at this time. As the ice generally clears away in March, we should not have to contend with ice more than four months this year.

  Everything that could be done to reelect Volstead in the seventh congressional district was done this year. Papers and pamphlets were sent by the ton lot. Speakers were as numerous as flies on a lump of sugar (although they did not get audiences.) In spite of all these facts Rev. O.J. Kvale won the election with a majority of 13,800 votes. Never in the history of Minnesota has a congressman received such a rebuke from the people as Volstead did in the last election.

  H.P Peters is making a number of big improvements at the Sunset Beach Hotel. He is putting a basement under part of the hotel and putting in a heating plant. He is also moving a number of the cottages so as to make an entirely different arrangement. A sun parlor is being added in the north end of the hotel with four rooms above. Next spring he may also add a number of new cottages. Mr. Peters had a very good season last year and he is making these additions in order to take care of his ever growing business.

From the Cyrus Citizen Thursday, Nov. 30, 1922. 

Anton Ness started the erection of a new dwelling house last week.

  Considerable has been said about flooding some land in our vicinity which could be used for a skating rink. This is a very good idea and we believe it should be done as it would give exercise enough for our whole town, not the town, but the people.
