A Trip North and West.
By our Bohemian.

By our Bohemian.
AS we journeyed northwestward and
neared the county line we crossed q low
belt of country where we found the wheat
crop had been considerably damaged by
tie constant wet weather we have had for
several weeks. AS we crossed the border
and reached the high table land on either
side of twelve mile creek in Traverse coun-
ty, we found the crops splendid. Farmers
were very busy gathering one of the finest
hay crops they have ever had, not drop
Of rain to interrupt them. John Neil has
20 acres of Scotch fife wheat good for 90
bushels per acre, Emil and Rudolph have
100 acres, 80 of which is Scotch fife will
give 80 bu. and 10 acres of lost nation will
yield % blu. We passed through the Dahl
ent-German-they are thrifty
class, crops and gardens good, and they
are taking considerable interest in growing
fruit and forest trees. In that locality we
had the pleasure of making the acquain-
lance of Jeln Sloan, St. Paulite, who
has one quarter section and is about secur
ing another, he is erecting and has nearly
completed a substantial frame house one
and a half stories high, the main Fart 1Sx24
and wing 16x15. He designs this for his
permanent country seat AS we swung
round the circle we reached Graceville on
Thursday night, stopping at the Lake
View House, u new hotel owned and kept
by Mr.. Barry, the sleeping rooms are large
and roomy, the table bountifully supplied,
we would make special mention of the
bread being the best we have eaten in
many, many day, We heard one gentle
man remark it was the best he had eaten
since leaving St. Paul. The gal that made
that bread will do to keep house for some
young fellow, boys look round After
making several efforts to find Mcdonnell,
| we finally succeeded. He is like the Irish
mans flea, put your finger on him and lie

twenty-five cents an acre, did not become
