OBITUARY

The Merciless Reaper!

This time cuts down one just in the prime of life.

The sad news of the death of Gus Eide reached us on Saturday last; he having died that morning at St. Olaf's hospital, Austin. This death is made doubly sad because of his lacking relatives in this country, his mother residing in Norway.

Letters to the Editor
Coal power plant

Dear Editor:
The proposal by Wisconsin Dairyland Power to build a modern day dinosaur as a coal-burning power plant in Mona, IA, a rural community in Mitchell county, near the Minnesota border, not only sickens me, but waves numerous red danger flags as to the lack of regard Dairyland Power has for the land or its residents.
