out West, the Minnesoteans have finally
hit on all entirely novel one. Wood is
not to be thought of, as the country is

to be had at all off the line of the rail-
roads. During last winter corn was used

out, and they used all the railroad ties
and telegraph poles they could dig out of

two families were. little by little, torn
down and burned, and nearly all their
furniture went the same way. Another
family had lived some time on soup made
of an OK hide.
