A very patriotic and feasible plan of
enlisting company Of volunteers from
Pembina county was started this week
by the citizens of Drayton. The gener-
al features of the plan, were to recruit ten
men from each of the principal towns of
the county, and to raise Sl25 in each
town for equipment. We have no doubt
the plan would be successful and credita-
Bile, but presume that the matter will be
dropped for the present, as yesterdays
papers say that no more troops will be
accepted from North Dakota on the Sec
ond call, because there were more than
the quotas for both calls received at the
first call. The first call was for AGO men
and over 800 were mustered in. II how
ever, these men are wanted later we can
answer for Pembina, that we will send
our share.
u. Trenholme was over from Bath
gate on Friday with business before the
county board. He has many interesting
experiences to relate of his Alaskan trip.
He says his party, outside of the natural
roughness Of out door life, had no hard
ships to speak of and that they were able
to take all their stuff and some of il was
heavy machinery, over the pass to Lake
Bennett entirely with mule team. He
says the great majority of the crowds
that are going over are decent, honest
men, and that the lawlessness one would
naturally expect does not exist, and that
those who have gone especially to trade
upon the viciousness and dissipation Of
the immigrants find but little trade. Mr..
Irenholme expects to return next week
md ovestske his party which is on the
way 70 Dsssoa.
