The excurSionists went over the
Northern Pacific road. through the tun-
mel, and soon passed McCarron lake
and the water works, and up north
through great number of lakes to
Cardigan junction. From this point
the train struck off due west, and the
first point reached was Maryland Park.
The eXcursionsts left the cars to view
the station and its surroundings.
Z. j. Hodgson. who owns consider
able property in that locality, was called
upon to speak, but sought to escape.
The crowd got after him. and H. S.
Fairchild and Col. Davidson caught him
and placed him OH a barrell that had
been set Oh end to receive him. He
started to make speech, but stopped
suddenly when the conductor called
'All aboard" The train still heading
west, soon reached New Brighton, and
LnI
!. shops of the 500 road are located. Here
the party remained for half an hour
looking with great curiosity at the pom
derous machinery as it fashioned i'm
mense blocks of iron into wheels and
other parts of cars and locomotives.
Half dozen disabled locomotives were
the shops undergoing repairs. The
train then started for Bald Eagle lake
and White Bear. Reaching the latter
point, an imprOmptu meeting was held.
A chair was placed in the snow. and
the public speakers that accompanied
the excursion were compelled to do
duty, and the American eagle was let
loose with great success. Col. James
I'll. Davidson predicted that an empire
would be located somewhere Oh the
route taken by the eXcursioDists. He
was followed by W. M. Bushnell, who
scared while, and then offered the
following preamble and resolution:

to mount the chair, when he delivered
a speech which made things tremble.
