Grand Chief Templar Quick, of st.
Paul. He said, after detailing the work
that had been done during the year:
THAT there has not been as much work
done during the past year as we desired
and had intended to do is true. Sew
eral circumstances have contributed to
this end. Believing that it was better
not to commence our work until the
busy time in the fall was over. we ar
ranged to commence in November. We
had but fairly got the work laid out and
started when storms, bad roads and the
immense snow blOckadeS settled down
over the state and seemed to shut out
all idea of attempting to do business of
any kind. The entire business of the
Whole state and Northwest seemed to
be at a standstill. 1t was next to impos-
sible to do any travelling by rail. stage
