Hamlin Garland, the author of Main
Travelled Roads," 1.-The Rose of
butchers Coulee," and a host of short
stories which have made him perhaps
one of the greatest interpreters of the
pathos and hardships of rough farm
life in the West, came to ST. Paul
yesterday and registered at the Metro
politan hotel. Mr. Garland, who is a
personal friend of E. V. Smalley, was
taken about the city yesterday by that
gentleman and will be the guest at
their summer home at Cottage Grove

the great Kootenai mining district His
itinerary includes a trip through the
Okanogan valley in the state of Wash
lngton, and thence by trail across the
cascade mountains to the shores of the
Puget sound
MT. Garland believes that this Sec
ton of the country, which Prof. Sper
ny says is one of the most notable in
the whole world in point of superb
scenery, will offer much opportunity for
the inspiration he is seeking for his
new work. He wishes to be understood
as veritist as opposed to being a
realist, and holds the notion that many
things happen quietly in life which are
most effectually told in the same wav
as they happened without morbid SEN
sationalism. This writer, who occu-
pies quite an enviable position in the
literary world, has but just come from
the family home at New Salem. near
La Crosse, where there was last week
held family reunion. The little cou-
lee, or valley, through which runs a
limpid stream, which is situated near
his home, has been pictured in one or
two Of his popular short stories. Mr..
Garland will probably leave for the
West today. .i

OF the different sections in his state.
and as stated, has used his knoWledge
to good advantage. His stuff about the
mining resources of the SLOGAN and
Trail creek country has found it's way
into some of the biggest of the East
ern da1lies, and he is the correspondent
OF one or two big papers abroad. He
is a personal friend of Dennis Ryan,
who accompanied him to the train
when he was leaving the city.
An old time resident of st. Paul

in the person of Judge C. G. Austin.
