Belle plainc, Minn.-Mrs. Hannah
Sullivan, wife of the late Jerry Sulli-
van, died at her home in this borough
on Tuesday evening, July 1S, in the
77th year of her age. Deceased had
been an invalid for over twenty years,
but it is thought that the terrible heat
was the principal cause of bringing
about her demise just at this time.
She was n native of Ireland, emigrat-
ing to this country when quite young
In 1856 she came from st. Louis and
located ut st. Thomas. About twelve
years ago the family moved to Belle
plnine, where her husband died about
four years ago. But one child survives
her, Mrs. Thos. Murphy. There are,
however, a large number of grandchil-
tlren. The funeral was held on Satur-
day morning from the Church of the
Sacred Heart and a large number OF
relatives and old settlers followed the
were inferred in the family burial lot.
Graceville, Minn.-M. r. Noonan re-
turned Tuesday Of last week from u
ten days trip up north. He says in an
interview: 81 went into British terri
tory on my trip. Along the line the
land is good. On the American side
land sells for $40 per acre; in Canada
you can get It for $3.50. l do not know
the reason for this. When the line is
reached everybody seems to balk. 1
visited Portal, Kenmarc, Bowbells,
Harvey, Washburn and other new
towns. All of them are crude and
new. and the accommodations poor.
Last year the crops were q failure. but
they arc all right this year. They
have enough flax in the country along
the line to make them rich IL they har-
vest it safely. Should free trade be
established between the United States
and Canada it will be great country
Fuel is cheap and plentiful, the finest
maple may be obtained for So per cord
1t is q godsend to the settlers that
there is an abundance of timber. There
are thousands of horses and cattle,
and an unlimited range to feed them.
Luxurious buffalo grass covers the
country, and you know what that
means. Last winter they did not have
to care for their stock over a couple
of weeks"
