A TRIP TO RED LAKE.

MIR. EDITOR:
We, that is Rev. Spicer and myself,
made a flying trip to the lake. We
left Warren at night, Monday, May
3lst. Got over too late for the
steamer, which had left at 10 p. m.,
Monday. Tuesday morning we got
a man to drive us up and head off
the boat; we caught the steamer at
3 p. m. and were landed at the lake
ut 5 a. M, Wednesday. The fishing
was fine. We got 90 fish OF good
size by the middle OF the afternoon
and got ready t. return. We filed
our canvas boat l,alf full of hay for
a bed, and started to paddle down
to the falls at night. One was to
sleep while the other guided the boat.
We found but little current and had
to paddle hard to- make the descent
in two days and two nights, reach
ing Thief River at 9p. M, Friday,
and home At Z a. m, Saturday. 1t
was pleasant trip. The moon was
almost in the full, and as we drifted
down and ij6ened to the waippoor-
will we almost wished that we could
make the trip Of life's journey as
smoothly; but life without a ripple
would be monotonous, and so we
turn our weary hands to labor once
more, Ill the better for the storms
we met on our return trip down the
river. The distance by water from
Red Lake to the falls is 125 miles.
