Of his own In purchasing donkey In
Zanzibar:
We had to procure donkeys, by no
means an easy task. OF course each
one had 10 be tried, as we were 20 use
them for riding purposes, and In the
course Of the work we had various ex-
periences. I had set my mind upon a
fine female donkey and took her out
for an afternoons ride. | shall not
forget II. At first when | mounted her
she would not move, in spite OF all
my most tender persuaslons, and tinal-
ly she began TO back.
Now, the streets Of Zanzibar are very
narrow, and coming up behind me was
large bullock wagon. My sweet tenn
percd donkey backed right n TO the
horns OF the bullocks. Then II was no
longer n case Of making her go, but Of
making her stop.
Away she flew, right along the Naza
Moja road, and nothing l could do
would check her headlong career. In
fact l soon tired OF trying and let her

cocOanut trees, regardless OF every
thing until she came TO a steep bank.
Here she stopped. This showed that
she had good sense, and / decided to

by other persons with whom the
PIONEER has had interviews that
the crops west OF Larimore, out

as they are this season. In the
valley, from Crookston to Lari-
more, q distance Of 30 miles, and
from Urtcfiyiile to the boundary

water, which will cause some

Men were busily engaged in getting
across the lake to the outlet where
they ''picnicked and absorbed until
a late hour in the evening. Quite a
number of Iniuns declare that the rea-
son that they did not return sooner
was that the weather was so warm
they would much rather enjoy the
cooling breezes and sound slumbers
that we're very much in evidence over
in that latitude, and no one has been
brave enough to dispute their word.
To say they had an enjoyable time

will be from $3.50 to $3 per day,
and he would advise all men who
want to earn a dollar to hurry to
that locality, as there is work for
thousands of men for the next
three months at least.
There are quite a number OF
idle men IN this town and Vicinity
who can have all kinds Of work
here for the asking, but probably
not at the enticing wages offered
further west at the present time;
and if they want to get their
muscle up they can get reduced
rates to the harvest fields of the
west. Let every able bodied man
lend hand toward saving the
crop if they would obtain a grub
