The Noise Located.

For the last two years members Of
the Baptist church Of SacO. Me-, have

be located. The sexton hunted every
where for it. but without success until
the latter part of last week. In max
ing q more thorough search than usual
he found tucked away In a gable end a

TIL. Change n Few Years Make.

"On my first visit to North Dakota"
says q western man quoted In the BOs-
ton Transcript, II had to ride 20 miles
acress the prairie from Grafton to Park
River. 1t was most desolate journey.
The cold was intense. 1t cut you down
far below your own overcoat and the
fur coat which the driver gave you
with a sneer at your petty garment,
and II paralyzed all exertion and every
thought except that of reaching the
journeys end. In the back Of the sled,
which carried trunks and the mail, was
q sort Of stove. but 1t gave more smoke
than heat and almost suffocated the
telderfoot. The road was devious, and
the ups and downs about the river
were many We skirted that river q
part Of the way In trying to escape the
cold wind. And yet it was mild day,
what they would call In Montana only
O two SKIRT day. Nothing could be
more dreary and depressing and bar
barous than that ride, and 1t made me
think that | was in a region far re-
moved from the modern world. That
was four years ago What is this
that read today In a newspaper from
that young state? a company has
been incorporated to equip and run
line of automobiles from Park River to
Grafton
