A weary traveller, just in out Of the mud
of the up river region, lets off the righteous
wrath with which his being is charged. He
feels that the world should know that stag.
ing over the prairies OF the Indian country
is not as refreshing a recreation as those
may suppose who never cut loose from the
comforts of home and exposed themselves
to the inconvenience which cluster about
the overland route to Pierre. His particu.
lar grievance was the way he vas used be.
tween Ft. Thompson and White Swan. His
memoranda of his traveles runs as follows:
Good teams, quick time and good ranches
from Pierre to Thompson. A good meal
and the the best of accommodations at the
Centennial hotel at Fort Thompson. From
Fort Thompson to American creek had
played out team of four mules and horse.
mixed-cant tell which predominated. Had
lumber wagon with one spring seat and
boards for the rest of us to sit on. All the
way to American creek our time was con-
sumed in the manufacture and ulerance of
words calculated to do instice to the occasion,
in whipping up the combination Of horse and
mule tle:h and in walking behind the wagon
and pushing it up hills. The
Grow creek hills were PAR
ticularlv we'll adapted to this latter
amusement, and by the time we reached
American creek We felt so well pleased
with things that we t!i;!n', wish the outfit
any worse fate than that il might b. ever
lastingly sunk in some hottomlass muih,le
with the wheels turned ur. That was all.
At American creek ranch, which is dug
out, should think not great deal larger
than the Palmer house in Chicago, eight
men and one squaw were slowed away for
the night all on the floor, and laid in like
sardines In box. Our med:t tions were
not rendered more pleasant by knowledge
of the fact that Red Lake was only seven
miles farther on, and that there we could
have received good accommodations
We attributed the circumstance of our re-
manning at American creek to the fact that
the contractor has no pecuniary or family
interest in the Red Lake hotel, and the
thought of this misfortune of his made US SO
mad that we resolved not to tell the driver
that he left the mail sacks out all night in
the open wagon in the rain. The next day
we went on and most of Us didn't know
whether we would rather go on than stay or
rather stay than 60 on. But We went
need not repeat here in detail the expert
ences Of this day. 1t was like yesterday,
only more so. Paying eleven cents mile
for the privilege of walking through the
mud isn't my forte and l can't do
it without breaking out in pro.
fame spots all over. We got to White
Swan, however, and from there to Yankton
found splendid stage accommodations. These
things make one wonder why the people Of
Yankton do not insist on good stage line
all the way to Pierre. I am stronger and
melancholy, mud spattered pilgrim, but
those are my sentiments.
Here ends the memoranda of our travel
ing friend. He must of had rough time
of it.

wss destroying his fruit, had sbondoaesi
the trees surrounded by the tomato
vines. Following up this accidental
discovery, he found the free use OF 70
